West Ham takes their contract with Carlos Tevez a little too far. The guy obviously doesn’t want to play with them and his agent Kia Joorabchian insists there is no enforceable contract of employment. The case is now passed on to FIFA which has not given a time table on how long it would take them to come up with a decision.

The video shows that Zinedine Zidane is playing football with his kids. How sweet! I hope his kids are so much into playing football that they become professional players following their dad. The kids got talent man!

L.A. Galaxy may have forgotten they have recruited David Beckham for their footballing need; maybe, they never really care about his footballing contributions.

David & Victoria Beckham ate the entertainment world for themselves. Yesterday, the convenient store I was buying from had David Beckham on their magazine stand. When I arrived home, David & Victoria Beckham filled entertainment aggregation sites.

Robinho is on a tear right now at Copa America where he currently lead all players with six goals. Against Chile, Robinho went to score in both half helping Brazil crush chaotic Chile.

It was bound to happen. Give me the goals seems to be the mindset of this 23 year old kid. People expected the Copa America is the time Kaka leads Brazil. In some ways Kaka still holds the light for the next generation of Brazilian squad; but for now, Robinho is the name on the leaderboard.

Brazil has regained their composure despite getting a disappointing loss at Copa America early on. It is still too early to tell, but with Robinho providing the scoring requirements to win every game, Brazil may defend their title and climb up the FIFA world rankings anew.
