Manchester United Football Club continued their push to grab the lead from Liverpool in the EPL – English Premier League with a win over Wigan Athletic last night with the football match score of 1-0. The win takes Man U past Chelsea at second place and is only two pints behind Liverpool. The Red’s next game will be a Merseyside derby with Everton but the match shall be played on Monday, giving United the chane to overtake the leaders as they go to the Reebok Stadium to face Bolton Wanderers this coming Saturday.After beating Chelsea Football club 3-0 in one of last Sunday football results, United played one of their matches they have on hand and finally recorded the win after Wayne Rooney scored in a tap in from a Cristiano Ronaldo assist at the first minute. Wigan tried to look for the tying goal throughout the match but failed to breakdown the United defense which surprisingly, held its own despite the absence of central defender Rio Ferdinand who continues to suffer from a back injury, defender Wes Brown who still has two weeks to go before he gets back to the side after ankle surgery and left back Patrice Evra, who suffered a foot injury right after the match against Chelsea and has been ruled out of future United games for three weeks. He actually injured his foot when he delivered the cross that  Rooney turned into a goal. It was such an unfortunate stroke of luck for Evra who just returned to the side after being suspended for four games for his participation in  an incident after a match against Chelsea  last April.It shall be a big loss for Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United Football Club’s title aspirations as in form striker  Rooney might possibly join the list of injured players. He suffered a hamstring injury during last night’s game and could possibly be missing in action for three weeks. He scored the winnning goal but imped out of the game moments later and Carlos Tevez was sent in for Rooney’s place. Ferguson hopes though that  Ronaldo’s recovery from surgery and his recent triumph as FIFA’s Word Player of The Year shall be enough for the winger to continue his progress and be the dominant player like he was during the last season.The controversial Tevez  can benefit from Rooney’s expected absence as he shall fill up the other striker’s position in partnership with Dimitar Berbatov. Recent reports in English papers have said that the South American striker is unsettled and wishes to leave United. But Tevez personally debunked these reports himself and insists that United manager Ferguson has not talked to him or his agent to start contract negotiations. Tevez joined Manchester from West Ham United on a two year loan that is due to expire this summer. And he desperately wants to make the move permanent.Wigan gave a good account of themselves during the match. Emile Heskey and Wilson Palacios were constantly pressing for opportunties. Wigan manager Steve Bruce’s prized find Amir Zaki was kept quiet by the United defense. The loss however did not affect Wigan’s place in the team standings as they are still in seventh place.Catch English soccer results at ScoresPro.com/soccer.

Football is a game that is famous all over the world. It is a craze among the football fanatics to procure football tickets and visit the stadium to watch their favorite game of football live. Others who are not so lucky watch it on television. Football or soccer is played at a professional level all over the world. It stirs up tremendous passion among its fans and among the nations. It is considered one of the most popular games among all age groups.

About The Game

Football is played between two different teams each having eleven players. It is played with a ball on a rectangular field having goal posts on both the sides. The main objective of the players is to take the ball into the opposite goal post. The more number of times you can maneuver the ball in the opposing goal post, the more you get to score. A referee supervises the game. The decisions taken by him are final. A single match is divided into two halves of forty-five minutes each. One player tries to prevent the ball from reaching the goal post. He is called the goalkeeper. At the end of the game, the team with the highest number of goals wins. However, if both the teams score the same number of goals then it is a draw. To resolve a draw, the duration of the game is increased. A penalty shootout is declared if the results continue to be drawn. Procuring football tickets for matches are a craze among the fans.

The game of football is supervised and governed by the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA). The most popular football match held at an international level is the World Cup. More than 190 countries participate in it right from the qualifying rounds. The whole world is united during this time. The thrill can be seen in everyone’s face. The fans exult throughout the event. Then you must see the craze for football tickets for the game. There are various rules that govern the game of Soccer. The most common among them is that none of the players of either team is allowed to hit the ball with their hands or arms except the goalkeeper. The others can use their legs, head or any other part of the body excepting arms and hands to push the ball.

Procuring Football Tickets

It is very difficult to procure football tickets of any important match. Nevertheless, football fanatics are least bothered about the hardships. You can buy it from the stadium counter. However, that would require you to really stand and wait in long queues facing the extremes of weather. It would also include hustling and jostling.

Another more comfortable option is to sit at home and contact a ticket broker for football tickets. The staff there is highly competent and can help you purchase as many football tickets you want. You can even have the football tickets delivered at your doorsteps. You can simply relax and wait for the big day!

The only setback for Man Utd was the sending off of Daren Fletcher after a foul on Ces Frabregas in the penalty box. The referee awarded Arsenal a penalty and send off Fletcher in the process. Robin Van Persi restores some pride to the home team by scoring the penalty. But it proves too little to late for an Arsenal comeback.Chelsea draw with Barcelona 1-1, Barcelona qualify for final on away goals rule (1-1 on aggregate)The second semifinal was full of twist and drama.

The NFL season would seem incomplete nowadays without the presence of Fantasy Football. When you play fantasy football, you have become the owner and coach of a football team. It is hard to remember what a NFL game was like without every play having fantasy football implications.
As the owner, you can assemble a team of stars and role players, attempting to find the right balance of players to accumulate stats to score well in your league. As the team’s coach, you attempt to pick the right starting lineup for that week’s games, making sure that your best players aren’t sitting on the bench and you are not starting any player that is Out due to an injury or Bye week.
For anyone interested in starting a league, all you need are a few basic guidelines to get started. The beauty of fantasy football is that there really isn’t any set set up that you are required follow. It’s your fantasy league, so design it any way you want. Of course, you are limited to the creativity of the website that you have chosen.
Your league may prefer to play in a free, generic league. You will have many websites to choose from for that. On the other hand, you may want to full-service website with many flexible configuration options and dedicated customer service personnel. If that describes your league, you will want to look at Maximum Fantasy Sports. Ultimately, to enhance your NFL viewing experience, participating in a fantasy football league at MFS, or elsewhere, will allow you to do that. Okay, now let’s take it step by step and get you started. Bear in mind, this article would look like War and Peace if we covered every single nuance of fantasy football, so we are going to focus on the highlights.Gather Friends to Fill out a League
Assemble a league of football owners who are willing to participate through the end of your fantasy season. It makes it more enjoyable if they are willing to wheel and deal, wager a little money and talk a bit of smack. There is no set number of teams per league, but 12 teams seem to be the standard. You can certainly form leagues that are bigger and smaller than that, but make sure that you have an even-number of teams if you are playing in a head-to-head league as no one wants to take a week off. If you are playing in a Total Points league with no direct matchups, an odd number of teams is acceptable.Decide who’s Running the ShowElect a commissioner. The commissioner should be somebody who every team owner respects, or at least trusts. The commissioner, who most likely also owns a team in the league, is responsible for the league constitution, bylaws, configuration and all final decisions. The commissioner also collects and distributes the league contributions and maintains the peace. A good website will grant the commissioner a set of tools that allow him/her with the power to control what functions the owners are allowed to perform (managing their roster, posting messages), to manage another owner’s roster, rerun stats and many other controlling functions.Configuring the League
Setting the scoring system and rules for your league are very important. There are many variations to the game and scoring systems for fantasy football are as different as the NFL and Arena Football Leagues. Make sure all rules and settings are set in stone before the draft is held. This article could go one for many, many pages just discussing the variety of different scoring configuration options available in fantasy football. Let’s take a peek at the most basic settings.
Ultimately, it all comes down to how scoring is set up. Though many early leagues focused simply on touchdowns, most leagues nowadays award points for touchdowns and yardag. Four points are commonly awarded to any player who throws a touchdown pass and six points for rushing or receiving touchdowns. One point is commonly awarded for every 25 passing yards and every 10 rushing or receiving yards. It is tempting to go with the feast-or-famine approach and draft a QB and his main WR. Often, this is a bad idea, unless, of course, you have Tom Brady and Randy Moss on your fantasy team. Some leagues also give bonus points for longer TDs, such as, two points for TDs between 50 and 81 yards and three points for TDs over 81 yards.

The size of rosters also varies from league to league. Most leagues have a fixed number of starting positions and a fixed number of bench players, usually adding up to 15-17 players. The starting positions (slots) usually feature one QB, two RBs, three WRs, one TE, one K and one D. Variations include using Special Teams or individual defensive players instead of a single defense. Also, “swing” positions are becoming more prevalent. These are also known as “flex” positions. This slot allows for more than one position. The swing positions often used are a combination of WR/TE or RB/WR, though there are a handful of others. In the end, the accumulated points of one team’s starters are matched up against the points of another team’s starters and the end result is either a victory or a loss.
Occasionally, a tie will sneak its way into the picture. A good website will give you the option of breaking ties during the regular season. Tie-breakers are mandatory should they occur during the playoffs.Set the Schedule
The website should generate the league schedule after the draft is complete using the divisional structure the commissioner has established. League schedules are generally set up so teams in the same division play each other more often than other divisions. Ultimately, it is ideal to have a balanced schedule.Before the draft, the playoff schedule needs to be determined. This will vary depending on how many teams are in your league and how many teams the commissioner chooses to make the playoffs. The championship game needs to be scheduled between two teams no later than week 17 of the NFL season. One common choice is to finish the fantasy football regular season in week 13 or 14 and allow 6 teams to make the playoffs. This will grant the top 2 teams a playoff Bye, thus awarding them for their performance in the regular season. No one likes to dominate the regular season and then lose out in the first week of the playoffs.

Drafting your Players
Rosters are filled out by running a player draft. The draft order is randomized by the commissioner or the website. Unlike the NFL draft, fantasy football drafts are normally run serpentine style. For instance, in a 12-team league, the draft order would be 1 through 12, with the 12th team having the first pick of the second round and going back up in reverse order. In that scenario, the first team to pick wouldn’t select again until the 24th pick, but would then start the third round with the 25th selection, should they not fall asleep during the lull. Should this happen, the draft control will make the selection for the snoozing owner.
Drafts can be held online or offline. If held online, drafts are normally held real-time so each owner can make their choices based on how the draft is evolving. This can be a bit time-consuming, so another option is to run an automated draft. An increasingly popular draft method is having a fixed budget and bidding on players to fill out a roster. 

Maintaining your Roster
Throughout the season, you will need to change players out in an effort to manage injuries, Bye weeks or address weak areas by trading from areas of strength. Teams can trade and pick up free agents until the end of the season, unless there are deadlines established for these actions. Trades tend to have some sort of approval process in place to assure the league that trades are considered fair. The approval process generally falls on the shoulders of the commissioner to make a decision or upon the owners in the league to submit a vote (majority rules).
When it comes to free agents, it is common for leagues to apply a waiver system. True free agents can be acquired without application of any rules. Players attempted to be acquired that are in waiver status have to flow through waiver processing to determine which team will be awarded the player. There are a number of waiver processing rules.
The most common is a rolling priority list. This is initially established in the reverse order of the draft order and then gets adjusted as teams acquire players in waiver status. The team with the lowest waiver priority number is awarded the player desired when waiver processing occurs. When that processing happens, the team’s waiver priority is then set to the highest number and all teams between have their number adjusted down by one. Other waiver processing options allow teams to bid on free agents, award a player on waivers to the team with the worst record among acquiring teams or have made the least numbers of transactions.Making your Push to the Championship
It is very difficult to make the playoffs, let alone the Championship game, in a fantasy football league without devoting a lot of time to the game, making wise draft and transaction choices and having your players stay healthy. You have no control over the latter, so your team must be equipped to handle devastating injuries, should they occur.

- The common draft rule is to back up your studs. If you have LaDainian Tomlinson, grab his backup in the draft as well. If you have Peyton Manning, grab his backup in the draft. It is a tough choice as Peyton does not get hurt, but, should it happen, would you feel more comfortable with his backup in your lineup, an untested rookie or the Jets QB?

- Another common sense rule is to not draft injury-prone players or running backs over 30 too early. It is hard to justify the reward over the risk. Drafting Deuce McAlister in the 4th round last year in many leagues was a season killer when Adrian Peterson was still available. Out of all the positions, rookies make the biggest impact in the running back category.

- The most important rule is to know your league settings. Be aware of the scoring system, waiver processing rules and all deadlines. You cannot build a balanced team unless you know how to balance the scoring across the starting positions on your team.

Once you have that accomplished, you want to review your team at the midpoint of your season and evaluate what it will look like in the playoff weeks. If you have some players that you feel may be looking at getting some rest, it is best to trade them before the trade deadline to ensure that your roster is as strong as possible during the playoffs. It is difficult to gauge how much a player will play in weeks 13-17 far in advance, but it is a big risk to go into the playoff battle with players who may sit after one half.

One alternative to that is to utilize a fantasy football feature offered by one site; Maximum Fantasy Sports. This feature is In-Game player changes. This feature can be used all season or have it turned on at a certain point in the season, such as, the first week of playoffs. Configuration of this feature allows an owner to swap in different, unplayed players at their respective positions. So, if Joseph Addai is scheduled to play the first half of Indy’s week 15 game and you have Kenton Keith on your bench, you could swap out Addai for the second half and swap in Keith to maximize performance at your running back slot.End of the Season Reflection
I hope you spend your off-season gloating about your team’s dominance. No matter how your season ends, you want to review what went wrong and what went right during your season so you can improve the following year. Also, take notes on little used players that showed a lot of promise as the season went on. In the off-season, pay attention to free agency and the NFL draft. Note which teams improved in skill areas that may result in new starters that you can draft in later rounds in your upcoming fantasy football draft. Though the NFL season ends in February, fantasy football is a year-round fixation.

Alan Hutton who is absent from screen for a long time stay behind on the sidelines due to foot pain. According to Keane, he has no complaint against Rafael Benitez who is Liverpool manager but he said that he could have been a victory at the football club.

This match remained draw with 0-0 scores as both teams tried their best to get lead of goal but failed. Whereas, Arsenal coach knew that winning of their team against Sunderland would bring them closer to the qualification of championship. However, the match worked in the favor only if Arsenal won it. But despite of bright performance in the first half, done by Andrew Arshavin, the players of Arsenal could not be able to break the stubborn defense of Sunderland. In the early stages, Robin Van Persie clipped a wide hot and Kolo Toure had cleared off header line in the injury time during first half. But eye catching player, Arshavin faded, that gave Arsenal a quite good chance to get a lead over their opponents.After this match, Arsenal remained unbeaten of 13 games but draw football results for further games can drop their ranking position. In the last matches, Arsenal got no victory over Tottenham in their last league match as the match drew with 0-0 score that made a run of 11 games without any loss.

Arsenal missed the participation of Tomas Rosicky (hamstring), Emmanuel Adebayor (hamstring), and Cesc Fabregas (knee) whose absence proved not so good for the best performance of the team. It was sad to note that Sunderland fast pace and fluid approach of playing was not matched to its past performance in this match, Andy Reid crying over passes and Whitehead denied several times by Almunia.

Ahh football! A noble sporting institution centred on several prominent British values: healthy competition, camaraderie and drinking copious amounts of alcohol. Young and old, rich and poor, and male and female alike, there’s nothing the British love more than watching 22 handsome young men kicking a ball around a field wearing shorts. Equally, who can resist the thrill of seeing their idol score the winning goal? Technically, all Brits (like Brazilians) are football fans; it’s actually a matter of national pride. However, there are always a few guys who have to take their fandom further, you know the type? They don’t just love watching football on the telly, they have a football bedspread, football posters, they eat, sleep and breathe footy. So, what’s a gift giver to do when that football fan’s birthday or Christmas rolls round? In this exciting article we’ll take a look at that majestic creature ‘the footy fan’ and see what Gifts for Him we can come up with which you may not have considered before. They will need to be affordable, creative and they’ll also need to put a smile on his face. The Football Fan There are many truths about the football fan, I would call him an elusive creature or enigmatic but neither are true. Typically, he sees everything in simple terms. You win or lose a football match, after all, (or draw, but that is rare and leads to penalty shoot outs…) Anyway, he’s uncomplicated, direct, friendly and chatty. Gifts for Him need to be bold, simple and make a statement. He loves pizza, beer (if he’s old enough to drink it) and he can tell you more about football than you would ever want or need to know. That means that there’s a lot of room for you to get something wrong, like buy him a porcelain figurine of a team member from that club he hates. There are two major things wrong with that, firstly, you bought a man a porcelain figurine and secondly, never mind. He will have enjoyed smashing it. Getting Gifts For him Research is key. You need to know who his favourite players are, what his favourite club is and what size shirt he is. Does he play football at the weekends? What shoe size is he if he does? Become interested in football, ask questions and make lists. Soon you’ll have the football fan’s details down on paper and that makes getting gifts for him that much easier. With his shirt size you could get him his favourite player’s shirt and with his shoe size you could get him some new top-of-the-range football boots for those weekend games. These are obvious gifts though? The only thing ever stopping you from getting these sorts of things is that you will neglect to look at tags; you needn’t ask him and make him suspicious. Just look inside a shoe or shirt when he’s not around. After research, the key to getting great Gifts for Him is getting things which will make him laugh. You don’t have to get him something tacky though, you can put a smile on his face and still give him something he will use, rather than leave on a shelf to gather dust. One good example of something he can use and laugh about is a pair of Football cufflinks, there are loads of designs out there from tasteful silver football and boot designs, to more quirky colourful ones. He can wear his football cufflinks with any traditional button down shirt making them great for nights out, formal meetings and weddings. So, whenever he’s all dressed up and ready to go out he’ll think of you and football; the two things he probably loves more than anything else in the world! Another present you might not have considered before could be some stocks and shares. What would he do with those you ask? Well, I don’t know but he’d certainly put the certificate on the wall or frame it if he owned a share in his favourite football team? He can’t manage them but he can own a small portion of Manchester United, Arsenal or any team that he supports and what’s better than saying your team, really and truly is your team? Men who love football really appreciate it when you take some time to learn more about their interests and get them something which is both useful and meaningful. A football mug is fine, but what about engraved footy champagne glasses instead? Thinking outside the box and making the gifts for him funny, luxurious or a romantic experience, depending on who the footy fan in your life is, can make his special day that little bit more special!

You can love him or hate him, being George Clooney will help you score big points with women. Keep these points in mind and you’ll be rising to the top of your game in no time guaranteed.Being George Clooney might make some cringe, but there are a lot of perks that come with it…A former nanny told The National Enquirer that Angelina Jolie hates George Clooney. If it’s true, she’s the only woman on earth.George Clooney is a star in the classic sense. A ringer for Cary Grant, he would be as comfortable drinking martinis with Frank Sinatra as he would be sharing a bottle of whisky with Daniel Day-Lewis. Time magazine called him “The Last Movie Star,” and we’d agree. He wears his celebrity easily and doesn’t complain about being in the public eye. While other celebrities are worried about seeming aloof enough, he’s open, friendly and direct. From what we can tell, George Clooney has a great life and appreciates it.George Clooney is a guy’s guy who drives a motorcycle and doesn’t dye his hair. He doesn’t go on fad diets, he grows a beard from time to time and women adore him for all of the above.Learn what being George Clooney is about and you’re bound to drive women wild.Know how to laugh at yourselfIt’s widely rumored that George Clooney is the person who circulated “Jesus vs. Santa” (the video greeting card that birthed the show South Park). When the cartoon became a series, Clooney agreed to guest star as Stan Marsh’s gay dog Sparky. He had no dialogue and only made dog noises. When the show’s creators later lampooned him for being too political in Team America, Clooney laughed it off and said he would have been offended if he hadn’t been a target. Seeing how well he reacted, the press began asking if he’d consider running for office and he replied honestly: “No. I’ve slept with too many women, I’ve done too many drugs and I’ve been to too many parties.” Instead of trying to be a “star” in interviews, he laughs at his own celebrity. He joked that Leatherheads was “cry for peace.” When asked about reconciling George Clooney the actor and George Clooney the director, he said: “There’s a lot of ego there… so I just take it out on the actors.”Being George Clooney: George Clooney is great example of putting your ego in check. The worst thing you can do when someone teases you is to get angry. It proves you’re sensitive to their jabs because you’re not comfortable with yourself. Clooney knows he’s the sh*t, so he can joke about himself. Being George Clooney means that if someone teases you about wearing the same T-shirt too often, you have to laugh it off and say that it proves you’re not afraid of serious relationships… at least with clothing. Similarly, if things aren’t going well on a date, you’ll exasperate things by getting frustrated. Put a smile on your face and crack a joke. Even if it doesn’t fix things with your date, you may fool yourself into having a better time.

Stand by your ideals

Celebrities who make a show of being political annoy people, but George Clooney actually walks the walk. On January 31, 2008, the United Nations selected him to promote global awareness of its activities and named him a “Messenger of Peace.” He’s a true environmentalist, owning the first Tango electric car and, more recently, the electric Tesla Roadster. Some would argue that it’s easy to stand by convictions when you’re famous. However, before his hit show ER, Clooney quit Baby Talk, the TV version of Look Who’s Talking, because he felt an actress was being unfairly humiliated. He recalled the event for People: “I remember calling my agent and I said, ‘What happens if I walk away from this? Do I end my career? He said, ‘I don’t know.’ And I thought, ‘It’s worth it.’”Being George Clooney: No woman likes a man with weak convictions. Even if she doesn’t agree with you, she’ll respect you more if you don’t waffle on beliefs. Likewise, standing up for others isn’t easy, particularly when your career is on the line, but you’ll sleep better at night. Being George Clooney will require you to be an upright citizen.Be comfortable in your bachelordomA woman will say she doesn’t like a guy who never wants to marry… but she’ll try to change his mind. Clooney has said he’ll never marry again or have kids. Michelle Pfeiffer and Nicole Kidman each bet him $10,000 that he would change his mind before he turned 40. They both lost and sent checks. However, being George Clooney, he returned the money, saying he’d like to go double or nothing until 50. This is just the kind of reaction that makes women throw themselves at him even more now.Being George Clooney: The lesson here is not to remain single forever. It’s about being comfortable in your situation. Once you get desperate to lock down a girlfriend, women will see right through you. However, if you don’t want anything serious, be honest about it up front. Women have moved past the 1950s and aren’t just looking for a husband. If she is looking for an engagement ring, you’re more tempting if you’re comfortable in your skin and she’ll probably work harder to change your mind. Just remain honest and don’t give in unless she really does change your mind.Embrace ageSalt-and-pepper George told Playboy: “You don’t want to try to look younger because you’ll look wrong. You dye your hair, you look wrong. You wear a bad toupee, you look wrong. You wear makeup to hide things, you get your eyes done, you look wrong.” It’s good advice because as George Clooney has grown older, his female fan base has grown. At 45 years old, People named him “Sexiest Man Alive” for the second time. He stays fit, but doesn’t obsess over the gym because there’s nothing less attractive than creepy old buff guy. Have you seen the latest Rambo?Being George Clooney: The great thing about being a man is that they get more attractive as they get older. That doesn’t mean you get to let yourself go; you still have to work out, dress well and maintain, which gets harder with age. The lesson is not to highlight your hair, not to shop at stores with teenagers, and not to “get your chin worked on.”Dress wellGeorge Clooney regularly makes best-dressed lists and Vanity Fair recently inducted him into its International Best-Dressed Hall of Fame. His style is strong, doesn’t follow trends, and fits his personality, which is classic yet modern. He looks stylish walking into a trendy nightclub, but could just as easily step into a Mad Men scene. His signature outfit, a well-cut suit worn without a tie and open collar, is refined but not stuffy. Rather than trying to insert his personality into his outfit, Clooney prefers to leave it to the understated details: his clean-cut hair, calm smile and rock-like demeanor.Keep your outfits simple and respectable. You don’t have to wear a suit like Clooney, but a pair of designer jeans and a well-fitting black T-shirt will do wonders. Take a little extra time before you go out to make sure you look pulled-together. Above all, don’t cater to every trend. Don’t cut your hair into a faux hawk one minute and wear a do-rag the next. Being George Clooney means that you remain consistent.

The left midfielder will traditionally be a left footed wide player with pace and skill to beat the opposition right back. Some of the greatest crowd-pleasing soccer players have been left midfielders including George Best, Rivelino and John Salako. Since I began watching the game, there have been enough decent left midfielders to fill every team in the football league.
The England national team has recently struggled to find a great left midfielder and have opted to move right and central midfielders to the left. This problem highlighted the importance of having a naturally left sided midfielder to give the team balance. A great left midfielder will have skill, passing accuracy and the ability to create goals as well as score them.
There have been some fantastic left midfielders that have not fulfilled their potential in the game. John Barnes burst on to the scene in the early 80s as a 17 year old for Second Division Watford. Barnes would go on to play for England as well as over 300 appearances for Liverpool. However, Barnes’s club form rarely transferred to the international stage and he was considered an underachiever despite 11 goals in 79 England appearances.
Ryan Giggs has also not been able to translate his club abilities to the international stage, mainly due to him being Welsh. This has hindered his international career, despite him becoming the most decorated footballer in English soccer history. Ten Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two UEFA Champions Leagues and many other trophies are testament to Giggs’s ability and commitment.
A dazzling winger in the style of George Best, Giggs first wowed United fans as a 17 year old in 1991. His pace and trickery earned him rave reviews and cemented his place in the first team despite his tender age. With the launch of the FA Premier League, Giggs became a soccer superstar and was rated as one of the hottest young stars in the game.
Sixteen years later and Giggs may have lost some of his pace, but his fitness and enthusiasm have enabled him to remain a regular in Alex Ferguson’s squad. He appeared 30 times in both of United’s recent league title wins, although he is approaching 35. This shows Giggs’s abilities, ambition and self-belief in a United team that is regularly culled to make way for new blood.
Lionel Messi. The best left winger in the world today. This statement will be argued by some, as Messi often occupies the right wing or plays behind the strikers. However, Messi’s skills, pace and amazing left-foot warrant him a place in any list of best left midfielders.
Still only 21 years old at time of writing, Lionel Messi has already won two La Liga titles, one UEFA Champions League, Summer Olympics and the FIFA Under 20 World Cup. His emergence enabled Barcelona to sell Ronaldinho, this is symbolic of how much they rate the young Argentinian.
Messi possesses devastatingly fast feet and can slalom through players with ease. His use of the ball rivals that of Cristiano Ronaldo, as the two fight to be the best player in the world. Messi relies heavily on pace, swerve and tricks and can leave a defender standing with just the drop of his shoulder.
With such a long career ahead of him, Messi can go on to win every honour that soccer has to offer. He will hope to replicate another former Barcelona and Argentina number 10, the great Diego Armando Maradona. With Messi’s ability, there is every chance he too can lift the FIFA World Cup.
