The fact the player accepted the offer from City proves he isn’t moving for sporting reasons. Every time I have spoken with him he was very sad, crying and asking to leave ...

It’s easy to see why Keegan is well-liked - he’s articulate, he’s forthright, he gets people excited and he’s as realistic as they come. Keegan on Owen: “Look around football and look what’s happening, and I’m afraid a club and a manager not wanting a player to go sometimes is not enough.

It’s been observed that the Brazilian women’s football team could use a little luck. They’ve been nearly to the top in some huge games, including the 2007 World Cup (in which they lost 2-0 to Germany) and 2004 Olympics (2-1 to the US in extra time).
