Potential Move for Tevez; Spain Truly is Unstoppable

With Cristiano Ronaldo now on his way to the Bernabéu (Real Madrid's home), Manchester United may also see another one of their stars heading out the doors. This time round it's Tevez. the 25 year-old Argentinian international feels that since he is not the most wanted player* by Manchester United, he would be very happy with a transfer. Currently, he has received interest from Manchester City and Chelsea. If he does in fact head to one of these clubs then we will be bound to see home on the other side of what are both intense and emotional rivalries.

Confederation Cup News, Results, Schedule
For those of you who are Spanish supporters like myself, Spain has officially broken and set a new world record. With their 15th straight international win (over South Africa, 2-0) they are now the world record holders. However, more interestingly was what happened during the game. In the 50th minute, David Villa was rewarded a penalty kick due to a ridiculous challenge from South African defender Aaron Moekena. Unfortunately, Villa was denied the game by an excellent save from Khune. Nevertheless, just one minute later, Villa would score and regain the well deserved goal. And exactly 20 minutes later Llorente also helped himself to a goal after subbing out Torres in the 59th minute.
An interesting stat: Together, Spain and South Africa only had fifteen shots.

Clearly, if Spain continues to perform in the fashion they have done up to this point, I don't see why they can't win this Cup to add to their 2008 European Championship. Hopefully, Torres can also put in some goals to help Spain lift up another trophy before they take on the 2010 World Cup next summer.
