Luís Figo, a winner with Real Madrid in 2002Everything is possible in football. Juventus's defensive structure is strong, but Real Madrid's attack is also very dangerous which is why I think the duels will be interesting, and whoever wins more individually will come out on top. I think that it will be an interesting duel pitting two different styles against each other, with two very strong football cultures and great players.Cafu, a winner with Milan in 2007Juventus 2-2 Real Madrid (we didn't find out what happens next!)

Tom Brady Could Have Been One Of MLB’s Greatest Catchers, Ex-GM Claims
Share this: Tom Brady has made a remarkable living delivering strikes to receivers. But what if his intended targets were shortstops and second basemen instead of NFL pass-catchers? The New England Patriots quarterback, as some already know, was a stud baseball player at Junipero Serra High School in addition to excelling at football. In fact, Brady was so prolific on the diamond as a left-handed hitting catcher that he actually was drafted by a Major League Baseball team. Exactly 22 years ago Friday, the Montreal Expos selected Brady in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft. So, what did the Expos see in Brady? A heck of a lot, according to Montreal’s general manager at the time, Kevin Malone. “I think he could
Boss Bosz on playing the Ajax way
Peter Bosz never played for Ajax, but their great sides of the 1970s and 1980s had a huge influence on the 53-year-old and he was determined to stick to their principles when he took charge of the club last summer. As he prepares to lead Ajax against Manchester United in Wednesday's UEFA Europa League final, he talked through his coaching ethos.The Ajax sides of the 1970s and 1980s were a great influence on me. That was the time when Rinus Michels and Johan Cruyff were at Ajax, and it was fantastic, very attractive football, which we all enjoyed watching. That really influenced the way I

NFL Prospect DeShone Kizer Believes He Is Mix Between Tom Brady, Cam Newton
Share this: DeShone Kizer is one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2017 NFL Draft. And the ex-Notre Dame star has high expectations for himself — sky high. In an interview with USA TODAY’s Tom Pelissero, Kizer said he believes he’s a mix between New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Carolina Panthers star Cam Newton. “No one else can do what I can do,” Kizer said, per Pelissero. “And I’ve truly figured out in this (draft) process if I can maximize all my potential in every aspect of the game — this is bold — I do have the ability to be the greatest quarterback to ever play. “Imagine taking (Tom) Brady’s intellect and Brady’s preparation and putting it on a guy with Cam Newton’s

‘NESN Around’ Podcast: Trying To Make Sense Of Tony Romo-Mavericks Stunt
Share this: [embedded content] Tony Romo was a fine quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, but the QB’s exit from the Big D has been nothing short of bizarre. Romo, somewhat surprisingly, announced his retirement from football earlier this month, taking a job with CBS as their No. 1 football analyst starting next season. It was a somewhat awkward end to his Dallas tenure where he set plenty of records but never really had too much postseason success. The Cowboys have stayed relatively quiet since Romo’s exit, but the Dallas Mavericks have been another story. Mark Cuban and the Mavs invited Romo to go through the pregame paces as a uniformed player and actually wanted him to play in the game only to be shot
