		<description><![CDATA[<p>At first, Everton showed confidence about the Merseyside derby against Liverpool and Liverpool&#39;s supporters showed even more for their $2.00 Odds (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.luxbet.com">http://www.luxbet.com</a>). </p>
<p>The match ended 0-0 and the teams are now in top 7, Liverpool in the 7th place and Everton five points above with two games left. </p>
<p>But, how it was-like? </p>
<p>In the first 10 minutes Steven Pienaar made an effort to goal from outside the box but it went wide left of the target. A not-so-promising start for Evertons or just bad-luck? Maybe both. </p>
<p>If the Steven Pienaar&#39;s shot was wide left, ten minutes later Daniel Sturridge got an outside of the penalty box wide right shot, but didn&#39;t goal. <br />
Until the ending of the first half, Steven Gerrard stroke on goal from the free kick from Marouane Fellaini but fails also. <br />
In the second half until the end Victor Anchebe, Fabio Borni and Leo Osman got booked, even more tries to score but fail. </p>
<p>How would you call that? </p>
<p>Some people may call it a disappointing derby and a Liverpool&#39;s lack of chances against Everton&#39;s organized defence. <br />
Of course, you wouldn&#39;t call it a memorable derby but we&#39;ll see how it&#39;ll be on the May 12 15:00 P.M. Premier League Match Everton Vs West Ham Unitet (the home advantage is for WHU) and on the May 19 16:00 P.M. Premier League Match Everton Vs Chelsea. <br />
After such a Sunday, time to bet! <br />
West Ham need a win to advance from the nine place in Premier League, but also is known that is the 126th match between these teams, 62 won by Everton, 36 won by West Ham and 27 draws. <br />
Who&#39;s more likely to win the match? Supporters already know the answers . If you think you can trick the fortune of the teams, go get a ticket and get a big prize.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>West Brom boss Steve Clarke said Manchester City was encouraged into the game and, as a consequence, they proved who lead to the victory. </p>
<p>The last match of West Bromwich Vs Manchester City was a hard-fought victory for Man City that maintained them on the 17th Premier League with a clean sheet of the season. Home advantage for West Brom has given them slight advantage with bookies, with $2.30 Odds (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.tab.com.au/">TAB</a>). </p>
<p>How it was-like this tastefully win? </p>
<p>Until 33:44 moment the effort of Romelu Lukaku, Markus Rosenberg, Carlos Tevez, James Milner didn&#39;t pay-off, but in 33:46 Edin Dzeko marked a goal assisted by Carlos. <br />
In the second half of the match Markus Rosenberg had an effort at goal from outside area which missed. </p>
<p>Later, Claudio Yacob was cautioned for unsporting behaviour and Samir Nasri got booked. </p>
<p>In the end, the match ended with 1-0 Man City&#39;s victory. <br />
Think they might win again next time? </p>
<p>Manchester City looks promising after their evolution in English Premier League. This victory got Man City into the FA Coup Final on May 11 against Wigan Athletic at 7:15 P.M. <br />
&#34;With this goal we are in the Champions League and probably in second position.&#34; Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini said. </p>
<p>Bet or not to bet? </p>
<p>Addicted football matches found long time ago their place here and already know who to bet and how much. </p>
<p>Come enjoy this successful, diversified and responsible organization where Sport/Races passion feel free and safe to support and share the progress of their favourite team. <br />
Supporters can&#39;t just wait to see the match, they bet on it. You think your intuition might get you a nice prize? Go get a ticket for May 11, 7:15 P.M., get together with your friends and watch the match to see who&#39;s going to be the &#34;Winner One&#34;.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>As the season draws near its completion and a champion prepares to be named, the excitement of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb.html">Premier League</a> soccer is reaching a high level.
<p>It&#39;s the time of year when the League Trophy is on the line. Suddenly every step, every kick, every block takes on the importance of&#160;a moon landing.&#160; It&#39;s the time when heroes are made, fans are born, and the future stars of the league begin down the road toward a dream.</p>
<p>Those in almost any sport, at any level, know that their playoffs, tournaments, and marquee events draw in new fans by the thousands.&#160; Who remembers a key goal in a midseason game with no playoff implications?&#160; What about Andy Cole&#39;s <a target="_blank" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2312963/Manchester-United-champions-The-20th-Premier-League-title-numbers.html">game winner</a> in the 1999 season finale?&#160;&#160;The key games bring out the heroes and bring in the fans.</p>
<p>It&#39;s what inspires every kid who pulls on a pair of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.soccerloco.com/nike-soccer-shoes/">Nike soccer shoes</a> and dreams of duplicating that feat.&#160; It&#39;s what fills stadium after stadium with thousands of fans, waiting for that play that they&#39;ll revisit in the pubs with their mates for the next 30 years.&#160; It&#39;s what makes the US, perhaps the world&#39;s most staid soccer market, sit up and pay attention to this Beckham lad and find out he isn&#39;t just some pretty face married to some other pretty face.</p>
<p>So the eyes of the world are upon the sport as the season winds to a close.&#160; This point in the season could do more to make or break the sport than any other.&#160; It&#39;s when the color of the sport needs to emerge.&#160; It&#39;s the time when the most entertaining personalities need to show up, and when the best performers need to live up to the hype.</p>
<p>The television ratings are crucial.&#160; The games need to draw in the viewers needed to persuade advertisers to pay top rates for ads on uniforms, space on stadiums, and for television commercials themselves.</p>
<p>It is when competition should be strong as well.&#160; There is a great thrill for fans of a dominant team to watch them coast through season&#39;s end with shelf space already cleared for the trophy.&#160; It is quite another for the fans of three or four teams to watch with anticipation as their favorites struggle against longtime rivals for the title, and it is a whole new world when the long shot makes a final-days push to grab improbably wins and find themselves atop the heap.</p>
<p>It&#39;s also the time that can ruin a sport.&#160; Ask American baseball fans about the impact of a strike.&#160; Major League Baseball players walked off on August 12, 1994, leading to a cancellation of the World Series a couple months later and a delayed beginning to the 1995 season.&#160; The sport took years to recover the attendance and TV ratings it had previously held, and its image has only recently regained its luster.&#160; A strike by officials in the National Football League last year brought in bumbling replacements who missed call after obvious call.&#160; Fans were livid.</p>
<p>Every sport has that time of the year when it&#39;s discussed not just by sports fans and journalists, but by the general public.&#160; When the profile rises this high, the sport&#39;s future depends on putting its best foot forward.&#160; We shall soon see what this season&#39;s end holds.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<div ><img alt="Betting tips on the Premier League champions this season: is anybody worth a bet other than Man United? " src="http://www.soccer-weblog.com/wp-content/uploads/3180409430.jpg" border="0" /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hunganh3/3180409430/">99 James Kieran Nguyen</a></div>
<p>
There is not much chance now of any team beating Man United in the premiership. At the time of writing there are just 11 matches yet to play, and United has a twelve point advantage over second placed Manchester City. Tottenham is looking very strong in third place and is gradually creeping away from fourth place Chelsea and fifth place Arsenal. In some ways this situation is the recurring Premiership nightmare; it is like Groundhog Day over and over again. Still, for kicks there is always the FA Cup. </p>
<p>Although the bookmakers are still taking bets on man United, unsurprisingly they are offering very unattractive odds. While some of the worst odds are around 1/80 on, even the best are around 1/20 on. Currently the best odds that are available on Manchester city are 20/1. Chelsea and Spurs still have a mathematical chance of winning, but that is where it ends. In reality even backing them at their current price of 300/1 is hardly advisable. However, if you really want to take a flyer, then you could bet on the Arsenal where you will find casino type odds of up to 1000/1, though not all bookmakers are so sure and have priced the club at just 250/1. </p>
<p>So what do you do when the football season comes to an end? Of course there are plenty of international leagues to bet on, but if you are looking for an alternative then why not sign in to your online casino and try your luck at some of the football themed <a target="_blank" href="http://www.luckynuggetcasino.com/au/online-pokies/">slot machines</a> that are all the range. One great little slots that is certain to amuse you if you have any sense of humour is the Soccer Safari slot. This little slot game provides endless entertainment as you spin the players and officials who are all represented as caricatured wild animals hot from the heart of the South African jungle. </p>

<p>One of the members of England&#39;s winning team in 2003, Ben Cohen, strongly believes that Martin Johnson&#39;s squad can win the 2011 World Cup. <br />
Cohen said that, despite recent 19-9 defeat at the Millennium Stadium, England could still beat the best in New Zealand. <br />
&#34;England have got the players, they just need the game plan. They have the capability to go out and win the World Cup,&#34; said the wing. <br />
Cohen mentioned that Johnson was still trying to come across his best combinations before England&#39;s final warm-up match, in Dublin. <br />
&#34;The balance England had in 2003 was because of the power runners they had, at present they&#39;re trying to get that balance but they&#39;re not gelling,&#34; said Cohen. <br />

<p>Ronaldinho has shown his wish to become a permanent fixture of the Brazil squad again; he said he can certainly contribute to the national team. <br />
After a season in which Ronaldinho could not show his form and fitness on a regular basis with AC Milan, he was kept away from former coach Dunga&#39;s 2010 World Cup squad. <br />
&#34;I believe I still have plenty to offer at the highest level,&#34; said Ronaldinho. <br />
&#34;My goal is to do my best with Flamengo and I will be prepared if the coach needs me,&#34; added Ronaldinho. <br />
Ronadinho has been working his deal back in Brazil since January after coming back to his mother country with Flamengo and he remains a tremendously admired figure among the country&#39;s football fans. <br />

<p>Famecount.com has announced Cristiano Ronaldo as the world&#39;s most popular footballer. Kaká and Lionel Messi have taken 2nd and 3rd positions respectively. <br />
The website measured and aggregated the level of fame as per social media numbers. Ronaldo was ranked first in the list of most &#34;popular&#34; stars. <br />
At present, Ronaldo has 32 million fans on facebook, 3.7 million followers on Twitter and approximately five million YouTube views. <br />
Players like Ronaldo who connect with social media platforms are obviously catapulted up the social media hierarchy. <br />
On the other hand, Kaka has 5.3 million Twitter followers, which is more than any other footballer but compared to Ronaldo, he has only a scanty 10.7 million Facebook fans. Messi, on the contrary, has 23 million fans . <br />

<p>Requested by FIFA to suggest reforms, Transparency International has advised world soccer&#39;s governing body to arrange autonomous investigations into past corruption allegations to conquer a &#34;crisis of trust.&#34; <br />
Sepp Blatter, President of FIFA asked for help after charges of World Cup vote-rigging, election bribery and officials dishonorably looking for favors stained the organization&#39;s character. <br />
The international anti-corruption supervisory body has recommended FIFA to make a self-governing group of soccer&#39;s stakeholders which could supervise the probes and other extensive changes. <br />
Instead of being opaque, FIFA should open its decision making to outside inspection and also defend whistleblowers. <br />
According to the report, FIFA&#39;s all 208 national members must obey all reforms as a condition of playing in the World Cup. <br />

The current league champions Manchester United stated that they planning to raise $1 billion through a public offering in Singapore. Manchester United believes that all the 190 million fans they have, would rush to buy the IPO. <br />
One person who is definitely not going to buy the shares is Mr Tony Fernandes as he completely took over the English premier league team, Queens Park Rangers.

<p>Corruption watchdog, Transparency International (TI), has suggested to FIFA, the world football governing body, to &#34;embrace transparency&#34;. TI added that in spite of efforts, FIFA seems to be run like an &#34;old boys&#39; network&#34;. <br />
TI has asked for reforms presided over by representatives from inside as well as outside of FIFA, thus avoiding dependence and control. The suggestions have special importance for FIFA in the current scenario as FIFA has been hit by a series of corruption scandals in the last year. Following the suggestions, TI added that &#34;&#8230; it&#39;s up to FIFA to prove its commitment to transparency and accountability.&#34; <br />
Interestingly, FIFA president Sepp Blatter, running a fourth term, promised a new group as a watchdog some time back. <br />
