FIFA 14

The new FIFA 14 E3 trailer features Barcelona stars Messi, Pique, Fabregas, Xavi & Iniesta
The much anticipated E3 conference for gamers was thought to be “won” by Sony thanks to some late announcements regarding pricing and how to share games !

E3 also marks the time when gaming companies show a little more of the upcoming games all the kids will be buying this Christmas !

So, EA Sports released a new trailer featuring Barcelona stars Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique, Cesc Fabregas, Xavi and Andres Iniesta !

Even if you don’t like FIFA or video games, this is still worth a watch as the likes of Xavi and Iniesta explain how they view the game and when to play the killer pass !

Now some blurb from EA Sports: “FIFA players now have four times the decision making ability than the current generation of footballers, enabling each player to have Pro Instincts—human-like reactions, anticipation, and instincts. The leap forward in intelligence is matched by innovations that deliver true player motion. Now in FIFA 14, every step matters with Precision Movement that enables players to explode out of each step and every turn like real athletes, preserving their natural momentum. Plus, the artistry and athleticism of footballers will come to life with Elite Technique that world class players express in every match.”

Arsenal targets Stevan Jovetic

Arsenal targets Stevan Jovetic gets a hate banner posted outside Fiorentina’s stadium

Whether he’ll go to Arsenal or Chelsea, Stevan Jovetic’s future looks destined to be away from Fiorentina !

One of the big Serie A transfer stories this summer has been the constant speculation linking Jovetic away from Florence. There have been reports that Arsenal will bid 24 million euros for Jovetic with an annual salary of four million euros being paid to the Montenegro international !

There have also been counter suggestions that Chelsea are trying to steal £23m-rated Fiorentina forward Stevan Jovetic from under the noses of the Gunners !

Sick with the never-ending chatter, an unknown Fiorentina fan has hung a big banner outside the Artemio Franchi stadium on Tuesday, which says: Florence, city of art. If you go you’re a c*** . Bye Stevan !

Jovetic currently earns 2.5 million euros a season with Fiorentina, and the Montenegrin striker has a reported £26m released clause in his contract !

The 23-year-old attacker had a great campaign in 2012/2013, scoring 13 goals in 31 appearances for the Viola !

Raphael Varane has declined Barcelona's deal

Barcelona tried to sign Raphael Varane,But Varane said "No."
As confirmed by Catalan TV3 program 'Esport Club' on Monday,Barca have asked about the situation of Raphael Varane Real Madrid, the Barca team even raised center pay clause for Young French sensation..

According to 'Esport Club', Varane gave a 'no' to Barca,The reason that would have led to that decision is  because  Real Madrid put in the time to sign him and the way he is in debt to the club that has made him known worldwide.

Following the refusal of Thiago Silva and Hummels, Barcelona could have been redesigned to give a blow to its rivals, but it was the player himself Varane, who has responded with a 'no' to the Catalans.

Jamaica Versus USA(2-1)

JA V.S USA

Well Played Jamaica And USA.Altidore. Just after McCleary's poor cross, Zusi goes up to the other end, skips past his marker and floats a perfect cross over for Altidore to split the center backs and head down and past a helpless Ricketts from close range.With US making no pretense of further ambition as the ball is pushed back to Howard who hoofs it clear. Jamaica retrieve and try to get Woodbine sprinting forward down the left wing. He's pulled down by Zusi who is booked. From the free kick Howard stays on his line and Beckford is allowed a free header past him into the corner of the goal. A corner is worked quickly and Bradley pokes the ball to an unmarked Evans who spins and pokes the most unlikely of probable winners past Ricketts. That may be a massive let off for the US.
                                                             ^^^Short Highlights^^^
Well the game was a good one,the (electric)pace maker Jermaine 'Teddy' Johnson from Jamaica just kept breaking-in from the right-wing creating problem for the fullbacks and goal keeper of USA.Jamaica played hard attacking trying to score from every single chance given.With the assistance and finishing of Jermaine Beckford,Ryan Johnson And Jermaine Hue.USA played a less energetic game controlling,pass and spending time to spot their ball making sure it was on target.
                                                                   Props To Jamaica
*Quick Passing
*Fast Pacing Down The Flanks(especially the right)
*Long Passes Seemed Very Accurate
                                                                  Advice To Jamaica
*Passes Need To Be
*Defenders Need To Mark Better
*More Precise Passing
*Defenders Need To Communicate
*Better Spotting Of Ball

                                                                     Props To USA
*Good Handling Of Ball
*Good Passing(Precise)
*Great Sharing Of Ball
*Great Hold Of Possession                        
                                                                    Advice To USA
*Less Long Passes(Short Passes Seems To Work Better)

Top Eleven The Soccer Manager Game

It may not have any official licenses, but Top Eleven is as deep as sports management games come

Even by sports management game standards Top Eleven is a slow burn. You can’t jump right into the action and start winning games. You can’t just go out and buy the best player you can find. Instead, you’ll have to adhere to a real-world schedule and carefully manage your finances. It may not sound like a lot of fun, but if you’re interested in the nitty gritty of running a soccer club, there are few better choices than Top Eleven.



And you’ll get to manage virtually every aspect of it, both on and off the pitch. You can tweak your formation and tactics, bring in new players and renew the contracts of others, and even manage training sessions. Players will get hurt and suspended and you’ll need to react accordingly. You’ll compete in a league against other real players and matches happen in real time; meaning that games are scheduled for specific dates and times. Since you don’t actually control the team as they play a game it’s not a big deal if you miss a match, but it does mean that progressing through a season takes quite a while.

Thankfully there’s a lot more to do while sitting at your manager’s desk. Finance is an important part of professional sports, and Top Eleven is no exception. In addition to negotiating contracts and transfer fees, you’ll also deal with signing sponsorship deals and TV contracts. And these are important, as more money gives you a better chance to further improve your team. But again, some aspects can be agonizingly slow. Renovating your stadium, for example, can take weeks of real world time.


Top Eleven is largely a game of text and menus, but even still it’s a relatively attractive experience. The menus are sleek and intuitive, and you’ll see icons magnify as you hover your mouse over them. It would be nice if you had a bit more control over your team’s logo and uniforms -- the customization options are pretty limited -- but there are also some neat touches, like when your jersey changes to reflect that new sponsorship deal you just signed.

Much like actual soccer, Top Eleven requires patience. The process of taking your team from the bottom of the league to winning prestigious cups isn’t something that happens over night. Instead, it’s the result of a number of smart decisions made over the course of weeks, maybe even longer. And that’s what makes it so great. The sheer depth is pretty incredible, making Top Eleven possibly the next best thing to getting your own office at Old Trafford.

Mario Götze Has Agreed To Join Munich

Gotze's Future





Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mario Götze has agreed to join Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich next season.

The attacking midfielder's release clause in his contract has been activated, according to his agent Volker Struth and his club, and he will join the German champions on 1 July.

Losing Götze, especially to their closest domestic rivals, will be a huge blow to Dortmund. Klopp's side recently relinquished the Bundesliga title they won in each of the past two seasons, with Bayern winning in record time.

If the fee is as high as is reported, he will become the most expensive German player of all time. The 20-year-old has emerged as one of the most coveted players in European football since coming through the ranks at Dortmund and making his Bundesliga debut in November 2009.

He played a key role as Dortmund won back-to-back Bundesliga crowns and has made 22 appearances for Germany, scoring five goals.

In January, Bayern announced former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola will succeed Jupp Heynckes as boss this summer, having signed a three-year deal.



Neymar Accepts Barcelona's Deal


Barcelona have announced their intention to dominate football again and it’s easy to imagine they will succeed. Make no mistake, this is the biggest transfer move we have seen in a long time. Ronaldo may have cost more money but this is massive when you consider how young Neymar is and how much better he can get.


After losing in the Champions League for the second season in a row, Barcelona had a choice to make - stick with their attacking philosophy or take a more cautious approach and invest in defenders - the arrival of Neymar means they are sticking with attack and taking it to another level, a frighteningly brilliant level.




Neymar is literally the biggest talent out of Brazil since Kaka and Ronaldinho. He is an incredible talent, he can play wide, central or as a supporting striker. He is quick, can beat opponents and is a great finisher. To imagine him and Messi playing in the same side is ludicrous. One of them on any team is marvelous, but both, that’s just crazy.




When you think about it that way and imagine the supporting talent, the likes of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets, then you understand how deadly Barcelona’s attack will be next season.




Neymar is the perfect replacement for David Villa who was never really comfortable playing wide but he did so well despite his limitations in terms of speed and dribbling ability, the Brazilian has none of those limitations. With Neymar on the pitch, the strategy of double marking and or triple marking Messi that has worked quite well is no longer applicable.




This transfer makes Barcelona an even better attacking team than they have ever been under Guardiola at least in terms of personnel and if the system remains the same then our jaws will drop when we watch them play.
#Neymar's Contract Will Last For 5-years.
