Neymar siap sedia daki puncak kemasyhuran (Kosmo)

NEYMAR (kanan) kini sedang berada di landasan tepat malah tidak mustahil untuk dia diangkat sebagai pemain terbaik dunia sedikit masa lagi.

LONDON – Legenda bola sepak Brazil, Pele percaya penyerang Barcelona, Neymar bakal menguasai masa depan bola sepak selepas hampir sedekad ia dikuasai bintang bola sepak dari Argentina, Lionel Messi dan kapten Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Sebelum ini, kehebatan Messi dan Ronaldo sering menjadi perbinca­ngan dalam kalangan peminat-peminat bola sepak yang mana bintang Barcelona itu berjaya memenangi empat kali Ballon d’Or manakala bintang Real Madrid itu hanya kurang satu berbanding dengannya.
Terbaharu, Ronaldo berjaya dijulang sebagai pemain terbaik dunia apabila memenangi anugerah Ballon d’Or selepas mengalahkan Messi. Pele berpendapat, peledak sensasi Real itu berjaya mengatasi Messi sejak dua musim lalu.

“Kini, Ronaldo adalah pemain terbaik selepas menyaksikan dominasi Messi dan kita sendiri saksikan perubahan Ronaldo sejak menyertai Liga Sepanyol.
“Kedua-dua pemain ini cukup konsis­ten di atas padang dan saya percaya Ro­naldo telah mengatasi kehebatan Messi sejak dua musim lalu.
“Namun, masa depan bola sepak akan menjadi milik Neymar. Dia bakal menjadi kunci utama buat Barcelona dan Brazil untuk meletakkan kembali ke­dua-dua pasukan ini di ranking pa­ling atas,” katanya. – Agensi

BPL : Jaringan gol terjauh (QPR)

Is this goal of the season? Matt Phillips scores 40-YARD screamer for QPR against Crystal Palace

The former Blackpool winger hit one from all of 40 yards at Selhurst Park, but it wasn't enough as Rangers slipped to a 3-1 defeat against the Eagles

Matt Phillips of Queens Park Rangers scores his sides first goal


QPR were left deep in the relegation mire after yet another defeat - but Matt Phillipsmay well have scored the goal of the season at Selhurst Park.
Crystal Palace came out on top 3-1 in the Premier League's lunchtime kick-off, but Phillips' second half consolation goal took the headlines.
Phillips’ strike was the goal from the longest distance in the Premier League this season at 40 yards.
He picked the ball up on halfway, strode forward a few yards and unleashed an unstoppable drive into Julian Speroni's top right-hand corner.
Unfortunately for Phillips, first half goals from Wilfried Zaha, James McArthur and Joel Ward for Palace had already ended the game as a contest.
Rangers could be left six points adrift of safety after the weekend's fixtures have been completed.

FA CUP : Man Utd 1-2 Arsenal

Danny Welbeck nets winner as Arsenal beat Man Utd in Fa Cup






Danny Welbeck came back to haunt Louis van Gaal as the Manchester United manager was subjected to a night of despair and defeat at Old Trafford.
Capitalising on a horror backpass from Antonio Valencia, Welbeck sent Arsenal through to the semifinals of the FA Cup with a 61st-minute winner after Wayne Rooney had equalised Nacho Monreal's opener.
To pile yet more misery on the United boss, he watched Angel Di Maria get sent off towards the end of the 2-1 defeat for pulling referee Michael Oliver's shirt as he reacted angrily to being booked for diving.
Replays showed Di Maria was pulled back by Aaron Ramsey before he tumbled to the ground, but the way in which he reacted will not please United boss Van Gaal.

CHELSEA juara Capital One Cup



John Terry’s first cup final goal for Chelsea and a Diego Costa strike deflected into the net won the London derby showpiece at Wembley.
The deadlock in what had been a tight encounter with defences on top was broken shortly before half-time when the skipper finished off a set-piece. From then on there only looked likely to be one winner an indeed Jose Mourinho’s men doubled our lead inside the hour when Diego Costa’s drive from out wide took a touch off Kyle Walker on its way in.
Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas then went close but two goals proved to be enough to win the fifth League Cup in Chelsea history, not least due to a collection of fine pieces of defending in the second half which kept the clean sheet intact and Spurs at bay.
