"Rocket Ronnie" returns

Madrid's supporters asked, Ronaldo answered positively and scored his first two free-kick goals for Real, against Zurich. The two goals contributed to a safe win in the first round of Group C in the 2009/2010 Champions League. 2-5 was the final score.

A different luck had Barcelona, in this round's big game. In Milan, against Inter, there were no goals. Ibrahimovic and Eto'o played against their former teams for the first time and the Swedish nearly scored.

It was a great start for the British teams, on the other hand. Chelsea had a tough time to win against Porto (1-0), so did Manchester United against Besiktas (0-1). Liverpool took the three points after winning, 1-0 also, against Debrecen and Arsenal had a great turnaround in the score, winning against Standard Liège for 3-2.

HomeGrown Rule


Richard Scudamore presented the new Homegrown Rule, which will start only in 2010/2011. This will force the teams to have eight home grown players on the 25 player squad. The squad will require 25 players but only 17 of them can be over 21 years old.

"The definition of home grown is trained for three years under the age of 21 by somebody in the English and Welsh professional system", stated Richard Scudamore.

Their are only 2 transfer windows to correct situations not in conformity with the homegrew law. But if Chelsea has the problem they can only hope that FIFA's take the penalty.

Is Semeya a hermaphrodite?

The news have spread worldwide as British tabloid "Daily Mail" said the South African 800m world champion Caster Semenya, subject to sex tests, is a pseudo-hermaphrodite. According to the information revealed, Semenya has no uterus and no ovaries (a real hermaphrodite must have testicles and ovaries simultaneously).

Instead, she has inner testicles, which are responsible for the high levels of testosterone the athlete carries in her body.

One can remember that in previous tests, Semenya accused three times more testosterone than in a normal feminine organism.

This information may be harmful for the career of the 18 year-old, since it is unclear if she may have physical advantages compared to fellow female athletes.

No More for Chelsea stick with Gael Kakuta

Chelsea can't endorse more players until 2011. This decision came from
FIFA itself, which means that the English club can only get more players until 2011. Basically Chelsea can contract players, but can't sing them to play on any competition.

This decision was made in a meeting in 27 of August , due to the contracted player Gael Kakuta. This player went to Chelsea without
Lens doing nothing , or getting anything. The French club appealed
FIFA that the player had no motives to resign.

For FIFA Lens was write, and Kakuta was blamed for the unjustified resign and Chelsea was banned for convincing the player to do that. That forced the player to pay 780K€ to Lens, with 4 months of suspension, and Chelsea with a 130K€ of fine with 2 years of suspension on the transfers.
