Semifinal: Germany vs Spain – The ultimate midfield battle

The spectacular Moses Mabhiba stadium in Durban will play host to the second of the World Cup semi-final ties, as an irrepressible young German side square up to a decidedly patchy Spanish outfit in a re-run of the European Championship final from 2008 (incidentally, a final Spain won 1-0).

Arsenal losing Fabregas may not be as bad as people think

Let me just me one thing clear before I discuss what many people may consider a ludicrous thought. Cesc Fabregas is a brilliant footballer and I am in no way questioning or doubting his ability. That comment may lead to a contradiction, but if Fabregas gets his wish and decides to return to Catalan giants…

Transfer Rumours: David Silva To Snub Chelsea For Manchester City?

After declaring his desire to play for reigning Premier League champions Chelsea only yesterday, it would appear that Valencia’s highly-rated winger David Silva has undergone a dramatic change of heart that will see him sign for nouvelle-riche money-merchants Manchester City for the best part of £30 million in the next few days.

Transfer Rumours: Real Madrid Enter The Race For Cesc Fabregas?

Monday Monday, can’t trust that day. The new week has brought with it a flurry of fresh transfer rumours, some perfectly feasible, some a little dubious and some completely and utterly nonsensical! Brilliant! It seems that the relentless speculation surrounding the future of Cesc Fabregas is showing no sign of dying down whilst the Spaniard…

Barcelona Make Formal Offer For Cesc Fabregas

Barcelona have confirmed that they have entered ‘official’ negotiations with Arsenal over the transfer of their influential captain Cesc Fabregas.

A:3K have gathered over £300 million (transfer value) of global football talent to compete in a serie of gladiatorial games of skill. They have confirmed that Cesc Fabregas,…

Hill-Wood: “Fabregas might stay, he might go, I have no idea”

Fabregas moving to Barcelona is by no means a done deal – Arsenal will presumably look for both a suitable fee and a nailed-on squad replacement before allowing the Spanish midfielder to leave for his dream move – and there’s a good chance it might not be resolved till the end of the World Cup….

Cesc, I guess this is farewell

Some things in sport are as inevitable as night following day. No Grand Prix is complete without Martin Brundle brilliantly interrupting Tanja Bauer on his grid-walk. You can be almost as sure of a British fighter being let down by their wrestling in the world of mixed martial arts. When it comes to football, and…
