FIFA BEST AWARDS | CRISTIANO RONALDO THE BEST 2016
FIFA handed this evening their "BEST AWARDS" after "breaking" with France Football which now gives the Golden Ball Award. As expected Real Madrid forward CRISTIANO RONALDO culminated 2016 with another prize, his 16th individual Award, this time with the "FIFA BEST PLAYER 2016".
The unfortunate news of the evening was the "boycott" by FC Barcelona which "did not allow" their nominated players: Iniesta, Pique, Luis Suarez & Messi ( also nominated for "Best 2016") to attend. The real reason is their disagreements with FIFA over "under-aged players" sanctions, & the fact the "Court of Arbitration in Sport" sanctioned in favour of Real Madrid for similar accusations. FC Barcelona believes FIFA favours Real Madrid, which in itself obviously needs to be proven.
The action of not attending has damaged seriously FC Barcelona profile & their Worldwide image as their dominance of World Soccer begins to decline. What is worse, Lionel Messi has involved himself in all this racket being nominated as "Best Player" & we all will want to know if this decision was voluntary.
FC Barcelona has claimed officially that their players are concentrated for their upcoming Spanish Cup qualifier return match, a game they need to win to stay alive in the competition after losing 2 -1 away to Athletic Club Bilbao. Naturally no one believes this story as Barça has never given the Spanish Cup the "priority" they have until today.
In all case, the damage has been done image wise.
FIFA Best Player 2016
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal / Real Madrid CF)
The voting was in the following porportions:
Cristiano Ronaldo 34,54% Votes
Lionel Messi 26.42%
Griezmann 7,53%
Spanish Football dominated as well the Best XI team 2016... Real Madrid contributed to the best 11 with 5 players, while Barça had 4 & Atletico de Madrid was represented with Griezmann. The inexplicable part of this voting was that Griezmann was voted 3rd Best Player for 2016, but did not manage to make the Best XI. Again FIFA shows its incoherent side as in past Awards & has lifted some eyebrows.
FIFA BEST 11 FIFPRO 2016:
GOALKEEPER: Neuer (FC Bayern Munich/ Germany)
DEFENCE: Alves (Barcelona y Juventus / Brazil), Pique (FC Barcelona / Spain), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid / Spain) & Marcelo (Real Madrid / Brazil)
MIDFIELDERS: Luka Modric (Real Madrid / Croatia), Toni Kroos (Real Madrid / Germany) & Andres Iniesta (FC Barcelona / Spain)
FORWARDS: Lionel Messi (FC Barcelona / Argentina), Luis Suarez (FC Barcelona / Uruguay) & Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid CF / Portugal)

REAL MADRID 4 - KASHIMA ANTLERS 2 | FIFA WORLD CLUBS CHAMPIONS FINAL
Spanish Football Club Real Madrid have crowned themselves FIFA World Clubs Champions after defeating Japanese Club Kashima Antlers 4 - 2 in extra-time in the Final. Tough game which surprised everyone with Kashima putting in an excellent performance & could have taken the Final.
In the end the huge physical effort put in by the Japanese made them pay the price of allowing spaces & dropping in concentration. This & some bad luck - Antlers hit the post in extra-time - allowed Real Madrid to pull away in the final part of this very interesting encounter.
Kashima had their plan & never swayed from it throughout the whole match. Intense marking & defending looking for counter-attacks. Real Madrid may have sinned of going into this Final with "over confidence" but soon were put back to Earth by Kashima. Real Madrid got ahead first with Karim Benzema opening with his 9th min goal. However, Kashima then gradually gained control & equalized in the 43rd min through Shibasaki & went ahead in the 51st min, again Shabaski.
Danger lights appeared & Real Madrid put in an extra effort to find the equalizer in the 60th min through a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty after Lucas Vazquez was fouled in the goal area. The match was then end to end stuff & Real Madrid was suffering up to the 90th min. Kashima was dominating totally & took the game into extra-time.
It was during the extra-time that Real Madrid pulled from experience, quality & pride as Kashima fell in intensity & tiredness took its toll. In two actions Cristiano Roanldo scored in the 98th min & again in the 118th min to get his HAT-TRICK. Curiously Ronaldo had been playing badly & having an ordinary night until he exploded in just 10-15 mins.
The controversial moment was when the referee forgave a possible second yellow card to Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos. Had it been shown it would have left Real Madrid with 10 men & given Kashima a big advantage. No doubt this will be a big talking point post-match.
Lastly, outstanding game from Modric, Benzema & Lucas Vazquez, while Navas made some important saves.
Another title for Real Madrid which claims the World Clubs Champions title to rounds off an extraordinary 2016.

SPAIN DRAWS 2 - 2 WITH ENGLAND | INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY
Spain played tonight England at "Wembley Stadium" in an International Friendly. The final result as 2 - 2 draw with Spain managing the equalizer in the last minute. Not the best game from Spain with Coach Lopetegui giving a run to players who usually pass more time watching the regulars from the bench: Reina, Iñigo Martinez, Azpilicueta, Mata, Aduriz...
England was more aggressive & quicker, especially in the counter-attacks. The Spanish defence was sloppy & full of mistakes, with defender Iñigo Martinez not sharp at all tonight who apart did not "glue" with defensive partner Nacho. The Spanish midfield was lacking in concentration & gave away too many balls to the English players.
Both English goals:
The positive piece tonight for Spain was their 2º half attitude. Far from lowering their heads substitutes Aspas & Isco ended up saving the night. While England defended solidly all night, two flashes of individual class broke through & equalized the encounter:

Two goals "out of the blue" that soften the blow and managed to put some shine into a very poor Spanish match performance.

BEST 10 FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN THE WORLD
British paper "Daily Mail" has published its list of the "Best 10 Football Players on the Planet". A subjective list that can be perfectly be debated with an over emphasis on forward position players, & may I add, some over-rated players.
It is obvious that "goal" is the heart of Football & that image, along with Marketing overshadows pure talent. That´s Football, & that´s today culture.
What is again highlighted however is the dominance of Spanish Football: its Liga & its Club Clubs. As seen on the list Real Madrid & FC Barcelona dominate with players
The list of 10 are:

The list of 10 are:
- Cristiano Ronaldo ( Real Madrid )
- Leo Messi ( FC Barcelona)
- Neymar (FC Barcelona)
- Luis Suarez ( FC Bareclona)
- Gareth Bale ( Real Madrid)
- Aguero (Manchester City)
- Ibrahimovic (Manchester United)
- Neuer ( Bayern Munich)
- Iniesta (FC Barcelona)
- Pogba (Manchester United)
Do you agree?
I put forward the following questions, where is Griezmann? Godin ? Modric or even Toni Kroos?
In my opinion, Neymar is the "Worlds most overrated player" , along side Pogba. Plus Ibrahimovic is simply a "joke" to be placed on this list.
SPAIN DEFEATS BELGIUM 0 - 2 | INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY
First International match for new Spanish National Coach Julen Lopetegui. Positive outcome with SPAIN defeating Belgium 0 - 2 away in their friendly match. Some changes in the starting 11 as seen in the below team photo but some philosophy of touch Football.
Belgium started well with a couple of clear chances but fizzed out as the game went on. Spain began touching the ball, controlling the pace & creating opportunities. Real Madrid forward Morata received a knock which brought on Diego Costa. The Chelsea FC forward livened up the forward line & a pass back from him towards DAVID SILVA brought the first goal in the 21st min when Silva found the back of the net.
Spain continued in the same line & Diego Costa missed some clear chances as the visitors were finding spaces. The second goal would come in the 61st min when DAVID SILVA converted a penalty on Vitolo.
The only real work for Spanish keeper De Gea came late in the match when he deflected a powerful shot from De Bruyne.
Good sparring match & better victory for Spain. Next Monday they face Liechtenstein in the first official Group qualifier for the World Cup 2018.

AT MADRID | GAMEIRO VERY CLOSE
Everything indicates that French International & Sevilla FC forward KEVIN GAMEIRO will be heading for Atletico de Madrid. The catalyst occurred days back when At. Madrid agreed to loan-out of their young Argentine forward Vietto, which indicated it was a "gesture".
The negotiations between Sevilla FC & Atletico are down to the forms of payment. Sevilla FC wants to get as close as possible to the contract release figure of 40M€, while Atletico offers 30M€ plus 5M€ more in variables.
It is the typical case of pull & loosen negotiations which is destined more sooner than later to finish in good port. There is some "controversy" between Atletico fans with the age of Gameiro, 29 years, which puts doubts on the price tag. However, the Frenchman has shown over the seasons with Sevilla that he is a fine goalscorer whose game fits in with the At. Madrid way of Football: counter-attack with sacrifice.

REAL MADRID | MOST VALUABLE SQUAD IN SPORT
According to Football website "Transfermarket", Spanish Football Club Real Madrid CF is the world's most valuable Club. With new signings still to arrive & others still to depart the team squad is valued 783,30M €uros.
No team in the World comes close to Real Madrid in these terms, with value increasing season after season. The 11 th Champions League - European Cup - win & title last season has given the Club a huge economic boost. Just Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale & Karim Benzema add up to 260M€.
The Portuguese star´s value with respect to last season falls 10M€ due to "age", however the value of Welshman Gareth Bale & Frencman Benzema are on the rise. Gareth Bale jumps from 80 to 90M€ while the market value of forward Karim Benzema jumps from 50 to 60M€.

FC BARCELONA SIGNS ANDRE GOMES
Spanish Football Club FC Barcelona has "beaten" Real Madrid in the signing of Portuguese International midfielder ANDRE GOMES. The 22 year old Valencia CF player will change for Barça after the latter forks out 35M€ in an initial transfer fee. However, the figure is more likely to rise to 70M€ after you add a further 20M€ in variables plus a further 15M€ in individual-collective objetives.
But there is more, Valencia CF wants on top one of the following players: Montoya, Tello & Samper either in property or loans.
Big money for a player which ended up a substitute in the Portugal team during the Euro 2016 Championship. The real value is in the players age, 22 years & scope for further growth. The idea is to slowly take over from Iniesta who is maturing & will be rested more in coming seasons.
