Come age comes well executed tactics and field positioning by experience. Its still a win for New York I don't think it's something to brag thoroughly about when Giorgios Chiellini, Diego, Mauro Camoranesi, and Gianluigi Buffon do not play. These international is more for getting experience in for bigger European sides. There's nothing in it for a full strength Juventus squad to brag if you beat New York, it's a gimme. That's why I hate the American League's overconfidence. They ALMOST beat let's say Barcelona's second team and brag saying “well we only lost 1-0 to one of the best clubs in the world.” Do you expect to be saying that if a first team Barcelona played you? These guys beat the top European clubs 3-0, 4-0, etc. how much do you think they'd beat you by?

so its not first team against New York. I thought first team. Coz you know Juve condition now, they lost many match in La Liga.

I guess Juve want to promote their club to US viewer, like Real M, Man U and many club do.

Well America isn't very supportive to football, even calling it “soccer” than football like the rest of the world. But it's growing, so the league itself is trying to grow ties with bigger clubs like a pipeline for scouting. Stan Kroenke I believe is the owner for the Colorado Rapids here in America and currently has the biggest share of Arsenal at little over 26% I believe. So Colorado has the mutual agreement with Arsenal for players. I haven't seen any players sent on loan or bought amongst the two, but it's bound to happen.

Also it's for competitive reasons. America believes talent has grown in soccer so they're brining in these massive clubs to play against in order to see how they fare with top competition. You usually see the European sides win, but sometimes you do get results like the New York/Juventus scoreline. But in my honest opinion, it's from the youth players where talent is made. The MLS strictly prohibits players into the league unless from collegiate play or you are with Generation Adidas, a group devised of American players with the sole purpose of growing talent in America. The problem with players only from collegiate play is that they are already 22 or 23. England has the earliest professional status at the age of 16 as other European clubs in Italy, Spain, etc. settle at 18 so players' bodies are more developed. If you're 22/23 just coming into professional play, I think it's already too late. It's said that most soccer players reach their prime, their best years, at ages 27-31, but I think the good players have the most success at the early years. Everyone's dream when playing is to be the best so why not allow them to have that chance and let them start playing professional earlier like European sides than having them get an unnecessary full education. People who plan on playing soccer for the rest of their lives do not need a degree, just a ball, a pitch, and someone to dribble past by to score.

Most US TV networks run shy when faced with the prospect of 45 minutes between commercial breaks, so Football is consigned to pay per view TV..... How do you watch your footy Mr K...????

After 45 years, Internazionale aided by a financial injection of some 81m Euros, and manager Jose Mourinho have excelled to an unprecedented treble, Serie A title, Coppa Italia and now the Champions League.

All these achievements have propelled Internazionale out of obscurity of there illustrious neighbours and great rivals AC Milan, to become champions of Europe.

Diego Milito is a true sporting hero, at 30 Diego lacks the sexy glamour of Messi, Aguero or T?vez, but his clinical finishing was ruthlessly executed, look at the team Jose M has built, assembled from waifs and strays, whose footy best was supposed to be well behind them, look at Sneijder cold shouldered by Real Madrid, and Samuel Eto blown out by Barcelona, Mourinho combined them with pensioners Javier Zanetti and Walter Samuel to build a team that has beaten all comers. One has to acknowledge it takes a special talent to be able to motivate a team to such dazzling achievements...

Well Philipa I have ESPN and they just recently signed a contract with the Barclays Premiership and La Liga for the couple of seasons. So Saturday mornings are EPL and La Liga on Sundays around 15:00. The MLS is standard, come March when the season starts, games are televised whenever they are played. I also get Fox Soccer Channel which is footy all day, everyday. They get Sky Sports News feeds daily, and televise tons of leagues: Bundesliga, EPL, Serie A, A-League, MLS, Argentine League, International friendlies/ Champions League after buying out Setanta, and I assume the World Cup as well come June. And big games are televised through local channels as well. I watched the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008 on local television channels. I haven't had to buy matches to watch because if I can't watch it the day of, FSC will re-run it sometime later in the week.

And Mourinho has made a masterful work with Inter. His tactics and his players' roles are key. The way he manages to deploy Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka is going to scare Barcelona. But “the special one” isn't accepting the deal yet for some reason. I can understand if he stays, but I assumed he already would have accepted the deal.

Ahh so you purchase a package...well in the UK live matches can be purchased through Sky, the sports package plus ESPN is ?27 per month in addition to the chosen entertainment packs ...it a lot of money..

Well Inter Ayatollah, Massimo Moratti has finally accepted Jose M will be taking his skills to Real Madrid next season. Moratti invited ?the special one? Mourinho to his beautiful Milan residence for dinner ...and set about trying to persuade his coach to stay for a 3rd season but Moratti said of the meeting that Mourinho attitude was that he had already made up his mind ..... Mourinho said after the meeting:"The only thing that I can say is that I have enjoyed very much eating with my president, you always eat well at Moratti's house."....

I fear one day Mourinho with all his semantics, his petulance, his ego, playing dangerous mind games with media and clubs alike will as Nero or Napoleon become the architect of his own downfall........

?I was nine or 10 years old and my father was sacked on Christmas Day. He was a manager, the results had not been good,he lost a game on December 22 or 23. On Christmas Day, the telephone rang and he was sacked in the middle of our lunch?,Jose Mourinho(refering to his father).......What goes around comes around Jose make the most from your winning streak....history has a habit of repeating itself...

England 3 ? 1 Mexico....Friendly it may have been but England spent most of the first half carry on camping, ...honestly England could not been more effeminate if they came out togged up like Venus Williams...Where?s their ambition??.. Aggression??........gone shopping no doubt .....

I can't wrap my head around why you despise Jose M so much. He's a good manager, a little cocky to say the least, but gets the job done everytime. His genius tactics play a big part even if they are with discouraged stars(Inter). He brings success, major success through time, with Inter a Serie A title the first season, then a treble(Serie A, Coppa Nazionale, CL title) the next. No club seemed disappointed on having his services. Even you Philipa must've been jumping up and down like a little girl, oh but you are one lol, but anyways you must've jumped up and down when Chelsea won two consecutive league titles including a Community Shield as well. He turned a once considered a league laughingstock into a perennial powerhouse throughout all of Europe...that is with help of a big budget. His managing skills degrade over time, but not a sudden sacking like at Chelsea. Roman Abramovich had lost his mind doing that.

Kayoko I don?t feel I am been disingenuous, as a manager I respect Jose M?s astonishing achievements, arguably the most gifted coach of his generation, as a motivator he has no peers, on Saturday night Jose was crowned footballs King of Europe, I have heaped deservedly lavish praise on Jose M for his outstanding display of brinkmanship (a word used wistfully) as Inter frankly outclassed Bayern to claim their historic victory.

But It?s fair to look at the other side of the coin, and witness a man whose vanity knows no bounds, the self appointed ?special one?...driven by bitterness and grudges, his personal smears and slurs against opponents are welded together into well timed mind games, verbal projectiles launched through the media. Jose M?s brand of management requires tactically and strategically taking their opponents apart is neither sexy nor pleasant on the eye ..........

His final farewell to Inter is typical Mourinho ?My work here is done, I have been happy here at Inter, but not in the world of Italian football?...When Mourinho takes over at Real Madrid it comes with a few bells and whistles, the opportunity to trample Barcelona?s pure form of beautiful free flowing football into oblivion on and off the pitch, Mourinho has never forgotten being sacked as an assistant coach some ten years ago..

Roman Abramovich could never stomach Mourinho antics of briefing against him in the media, despite the huge levels of financial investment lavished on transfers Abramovich priority and dream that Chelsea lift the Champion League crown was never realised, a feat that Mourinho could not deliver in his 3 years at Chelsea, he came close though.....

Oh decisions decisions it?s fashion fever in BarbieGirls.com , so many super hip styles to choose from....I think I might go for Barbie race car driver,and hit the track in style, ?little Girls? can never get enough of their Barbie Mr K.......

Admirable as well as disrespectable, Mourinho is your everyday badboy of football. Uses genius tactics to dismantle opposition, but the dismantling strategy as you pointed out Philipa driven by a serious grudge.

This upcoming campaign is going to be very, very interesting. Barcelona are stacking their squad up to improve on their “free flowing” football, but somehow aren't selling to ameliorate their shortage of leftover wages. Where they get this money is a whole other question, but still you have to sell to have wage room ...er hem Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It's hard to call favourites. Barca signed brilliant striker David Villa, but Real Madrid acquiring the mind behind the squad could be the push they needed to finally pass the Catalan giants.

And yes “little girl” you should get a Barbie..the race driver one sounds great ho hum...but you have to dress up as well..the next Danica Patrick ladies and gents.

After a deep and meaningful heart to heart with Arsene Wenger, Cesc Fabregas gushes "It was probably the greatest conversation I have had with someone in my life.... (so conversation with his beautiful girlfriend Carla hasn?t progressed further than the grunt, grind, and groan phase).... ?I respect him so much. He told me to concentrate on my football and the World Cup and he will deal with whatever happens in my future." .......sound like put up or shut up to me..

What's this Val.....The Galzers... ?will not entertain any offers?.......David Gill ?"still be a top, top club (Man U),We can invest in the players, invest in the training ground - we have plans for that - invest in the stadium and do those things. The money is definitely there we are not in a situation where Alex is restricted in what he wants to do with the club."......so where is the money coming from ??????

?Dress Up?.... Moi .... Mr K do we have a fetish???.....

As a boob?o?holic , Lobbo to his credit has taken the first tentative steps to come to terms with his fetish and has agreed to join a self help intensive therapy group to tackle his focus for female frontage.....

However yours is a little more complex ..... so while I take advice on this ..please stay indoors....and so we don?t become ?frustrated?......
