It was already a trend in UK’s Premier League. Gambling companies closing big sponsorship deals with clubs, looking after a huge potential market. But now, that legalized online poker is being played in Italy and France and more countries are looking the same way into betting, there might be a new round of big investments from online betting operators into the the biggest sport in the world.

A great night it was last Wednesday. Manchester United playing home opened a 3-0 advantage which seemed like an impossible job for the Germans to pass, but they showed heart and scored the two needed goals to go to next phase. Olic’s goal in the last minute of first half was decisive to Van Gaal’s side to return from the locker room confident enough to reach the objetive. It was a great football played by both sides.

Ribéry proved once again he is also one of the best players in the world nowadays, leading the whole team to this victory. And got to say that Olic was a surprise trying creative plays against such strong team.

This week was very good for football in general.

In the middle of it, Man United went to Milano to face the Rossoneri. Despite a great first half by the Italians, Fergunson’s side scored 3 times for a 2×3 final and making things very hard for Ronaldinho’s team mates when they have the return match.

Real Madrid went to Lyon and had a hard time against the local club. The 1×0 lost still leave things pretty much open for this battle. Read the rest of this entry »
