Messi, Suarez and Ronaldo up for best player in Europe award.

The trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Cristiano Ronaldo have been announced as the final candidates for the 2014-15 Uefa Best Player in Europe award. European football’s governing body announced the 10man longlist for the individual award in July, and UEFA confirmed on Wednesday that Messi, Suarez and Ronaldo were selected for the three-man shortlist.
Ronaldo, who picked up the trophy last year, earns another nomination after a season in which he scored 61 goals in 54 appearances and claimed the Uefa Super Cup and Club World Cup.

Messi and Suarez, meanwhile, formed a fearsome attacking partnership with Neymar that helped inspire Barcelona to the treble in Luis Enrique’s first season in charge.

Chelsea star Eden Hazard finished sixth after inspiring Jose Mourinho’s side to the Premier League title last term, winning the PFA Player of the year award in the process.
Past winners include Messi (2011), Andres Iniesta (2012), Franck Ribery (2013) and Ronaldo (2014).
Despite finishing third in the 2015 Ballon d’Or, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer only managed to secure 12th spot in the UEFA longlist voting.
Meanwhile, Real’s most expensive ever signing Gareth Bale finished joint-19th with Lyon’s Andre-Pierre Gignac after a frustrating campaign at the Bernabeu.
UEFA also announced the Best Women’s Player of 2014-15 shortlist, with France midfielder Amandine Henry up against German duo Dzsenifer Marozsan and Celia Sasic.

Luis Suarez reveals the real reason he left Liverpool

Former Liverpool forward, Luis Suarez has cited unjust treatment by the English press as the main reason he left Anfield last summer.
The Uruguayan was derided by the media for one major reason; his infamous biting incidents with Patrice Evra and Branislav Ivanovic. And one would not forget his episode with Italy’s Giorgio Chielleni at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
He told beIN Sports, “They talk too much and they didn’t leave me in peace and I left because I was tired of them, but they continue looking for something, I don’t know if the English press have a campaign against me but it looks like they miss me.
The Barcelona striker continued, “They criticised me a lot, looking for things that weren’t there and calling attention to them. They published images of me [allegedly biting Demichelis] in the morning and when they saw that it was false, the images suddenly disappeared.”

Suarez, Torres, Xabi Alonso, others to return to liverpool.

This news will gladden Liverpool fans hearts….for a short period though cos their return to the English club is only for a day. Sorry!

Liverpool heroes, Luis Suarez, Fernando Torres, Pepe Reina, Dirk Kuyt, Xabi Alonso, Henry Thierry, John Terry & Drogba will return to Anfield to play in a charity match.
The star studded charity game which comes up on March 29 has been organized to celebrate the departure of captain Steven Gerrard who quits the club at the end of the season. Proceeds from the match will go to charities. 

Suarez wants the English press to show him some respect.

Stories/footages of Uruguayan forward, Luis Suarez allegedly  trying to bite Demichelis during the UCL game between Barcelona and Man City two days ago2-1 have surfaced online.

‎Despite this new development, neither Demichelis nor the club are interested in pressing charges. Infact, no accusations have been officially made from the Etihad quarters.

Recall that Suarez who stole the show and provided two of the 3 goals scored during the match has been suspended on three occasions for biting opponents.
The Barcelona striker while vehemently denying the claims slammed the British press of blowing the matter out of proportion.

 ‘He Demichelis put his hand on my throat. I do not‎ understand why the English media want to do this. They want to make trouble – a mountain out of a molehill.’ They must be hurt after what I did to them in the World Cup but they forget that I played in England and they should show me some respect.’ He told ‎Uruguayan radio station Sport890‎.

#ThereWillBeHaters: Gareth Bale, Suarez, Benzema and James Rodriguez star in new Addidas campaign.

Barcelona’s Luis Suarez and Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Karim Benzema have featured in a new campaign for giant sportswear company.

Tagged, #ThereWillBeHaters, the camp‎aign sums up much of the ill feeling towards footballers shown by many both online and in person in 2015‎. 
It has also been launched to coincide with the launch of four new adidas boots, including a brand new F50.


The video shows the payers playing on their perceived personas and thriving on the ‘hate’ that all great performances attract.” Addidas said in a press statement.‎



Spanish newspaper slams Luis Suarez, calls him toothless.

For failing to score ‎in seven league games after making his £75m move to Barcelona, former Liverpool player, Luis Suarez has been described as ‘toothless’ by spanish newspaper, Marca. Well, we all know where the ‘toothless’ idea came from.
The Uruguayan who has scored twice for for the Blaugrana at the UEFA Champions League is still struggling to find the net in La Liga.
Here’s what Marca wrote.

Having won the Golden Shoe for his exploits in front of goal last term, Suarez seems to have been unsettled by the ban that saw him start this season later than his new team-mates.

“The stats are even more surprising when compared to historical data: over the last 50 years, only three other forwards signed by Barcelona have had the same difficulty as Suarez in breaking their league duck.
“Those three are Christophe Dugarry, Luis García and Maxi Lopez, who all spent indifferent spells with the ‘Blaugranas’.
“This stat places Suarez alongside some of the worst ‘Cules’ performers in recent times, and increases the doubts and speculation about whether or not his signing was good value for money for the Catalan club.”‎

Luis Suarez lied to his daughter about his World Cup ban.

Remember Luis Suarez’s infamous 4-month ban for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup? The Barcelona/Uruguay forward in a recent interview with Span’s Radio Catalunya revealed the lies he told his daughter, who asked why he wasn’t playing after he was banned.

When my daughter asked me why I was not playing, it hurt me very much. I had to face it. At first I said it was because of the knee. But people told me to be sincere to her because she is becoming aware of everything.’



He later braced up to tell her the truth.

I think it was during the match between Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano earlier in the season. She asked me why I was not playing and at the end I said: ‘Dad had a red card because he did a mistake, because dad is human and he is not perfect.’ She has since not asked anymore. I explained everything (to her) and she understood it.’

Brilliant response!!
