The Brazilian superstar Ricardo Kaka refused to go from Milan to Manchester City,despite The Premier League club’s audacious bid to sign the Brazilian star in a £100million-plus deal.
He was happy where he is. Two points, his making a huge marketing impact as one of the few sports superstars saying no to a better bid (this wouldn’t happen in the US, referring to the free agent signings in Major League Baseball, and will getting an even better offer the next time he will available on the market – because he will go there!
But for the time being, my hat off!

New manager for Norway
It happened, Åge Hareide withdraw from his position as the manager for the Norwegian football team. Not surprisingly, looking at the results the last year.
My idea, get Guus Hiddink, buy out Steinar Nilsen as manager for Brann and get Hareide as the new manager for Brann – that’s the best solution for all parties!
No Olympics in Tromsø 2018
Well, what can you expect. Blowing it completely out of porposions regarding money, and then hpoing for a miracle, it shouldn’t happen and it didn’t.
Despite I would love to go to the Olympics in Norway again, I think sports in Norway could use the 20 billions in a much better way. There is several areas to put the money in ; swimming, places to play hockey, gymnastics are just some who could benefit from the money.
And, again, it’s funny in a way to see how the Government was lobbying for a lost cause. (and I’m one of the few who think Bjørge Stensbøl did a great job as a consultant!)
Let’s go for the European Championships in football in 2016!
I think Russia will win the European Championship in football
And it’s not because I have put my money on them (and on Italy, but the failed me….). Playing great football, kinda’ reminds me about the Netherlands in the late 70′s and 80′s – and for me as a football fan when it’s played the right way – it’s just so fun to watch.
But, Spain will be a though one in the semifinals, but I do think the Russians will come on top – and will beat Germany most probably in the finals, score 3-1.
Just a couple of days to go – it will be fun to watch.
