Five differences between Ronaldo & Messi.

Article by Los Blancos
We’ve taken a closer look at Lionel Messi’s and Cristiano Ronaldo’s attributes, and here are the differences between the Barcelona star, and the Real Madrid talisman.

Shooting

While we know that Cristiano Ronaldo loves to shoot with power over precision, the little master Lionel Messi prefers to place his shots with precision. Both different styles of shooting, but both very effective.

Dribbling

We’re often used to seeing Messi going on long and dazzling runs, and while it works for him, that’s not the way the superstar ‘CR7’ does it. Ronaldo barely even tries to beat his man with skill anymore – but maybe that’s just his maturity.

Heading

The former Manchester United star is often known to be a more ‘complete’ player than Messi, and his great ability in the air seems to be everyone’s reason. It’s not often that Messi will out-jump his man, but Ronaldo does it time and time again.

Passing

We often see Messi delicately play a great through ball for one of his Barcelona teammates, and it has to be said – he passes better than Ronaldo does. The Portuguese star has probably less creativity, but he still makes up for that in other departments.

Weaker-Foot

Time and time again we see Ronaldo fire the ball home with his left-foot, but we unfortunately can’t say the same for Lionel Messi. The Argentine’s weaker foot is considerably weaker than his stronger left, but it clearly doesn’t hinder his goal tallies.

You can decide who you think is the best, but for me there is only one CR7.

The Premier League changes its logo.

The most lucrative football league in the world, The English Premier League (EPL), yesterday unveiled its new official logo, which will be used from the 2016-17 season onwards. The division's lion icon has been the face of England's top flight since its launch in 1992 but has undergone a makeover to give it a fresh, modern look. It means, EPL is ending its 12-year association with Barclays bank and will from now on be known simply as ‘the Premier League’. The new logo – has a crowned lion’s head gazing to the right, accompanied by either the words ‘Premier League’ or ‘PL’ -- will replace the current logo of a lion with its left paw on a football. All 20 clubs in the top flight have also agreed a new centralised sponsorship strategy, meaning the league will no longer have a named sponsor. “From next season we will move away from title sponsorship and the competition will be known as the Premier League, a decision which provided the opportunity to consider how we wanted ...

Arsene Wenger v Jose Mourinho: The history of their rivalry in quotes

A must read by Adams Bate of Skysports news, The war of words between Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger goes on and on. While the Manchester United boss has generally had the upper hand on the pitch over the years, both managers have had stern words for each other in the press room. Here we recall their rivalry in quotes, dating back to Mourinho's first season in English football... "I don't see especially that Chelsea play more English players than we do. Who have they produced, homegrown? Just one, John Terry." - Wenger in 2005 when quizzed on Arsenal's all-foreign line-up. At the beginning of the following season in August 2005, Wenger also expressed concerns over Chelsea's tactics: "I know we live in a world where we have only winners and losers, but once a sport encourages teams who refuse to take the initiative, the sport is in danger." Mourinho was unimpressed. "Wenger has a real problem with us and I think he is what you ca...

Currie Cup Final "Op Nuweland"

Op Nuweland (i.e. In Newlands Stadium) for Capetonian Rugby lovers has a special connotation understood only with a beer, friends, family, braai and biltong on match days. This match day Cape Town can boast a Currie Cup Final, and a deserved one I might add, for the first time in 12 years. It will also be the 12th time since 1939 that this illustriuos stadium hosts the Currie Cup Final, with only Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria hosting more (17). It has also been dominated by these two teams for the last 4 years with Western Province(WP) taking part in three of the last four finals. The Sharks can boast being in their fourth Currie Cup Final in as many years, each winning the title just once in that time. A stat each side will want to change as it's one thing to take part in a show piece and quite another to win one. WP are in the uneviable position of being tagged favourites come Saturday not just for them being the defending champions and them being at thier home patch but because t...
