AMAZING GAMES IN AFRICAN CUP QUARTERFINALS!

Ghana, the hosts of the African Cup, recently beat Nigeria 2:1 in an intense match. Yakubu scored an early penalty but the wonderfully talented Michael Essien tied up the scores for Ghana. Nigeria then pressured their opponents but it was Ghana who won thanks to simple goal by Agogo in the 83rd minute.
In a much less close game the Ivory Coast crushed poor Guinea 5:0. Until the 70th minute however the Ivorians only lead 1:0. Then Didier Drogba, Arouna Kone and a fantastic double by Solomon Kalou demoralized the poor Guineans. They are now favorites for the title along with Ghana.

RONALDO'S GOAL SPREE!

Last year, Cristiano Ronaldo was talented and chipped in some useful goals. This year however he is rampaging around the league tearing down the best defenses and scoring goals! He is currently on top of the scorers chart in England with 19 goals, 2 more than last year and the season's not even finished! His goals include a wonderful volley against Blackburn, two against Fulham, and an incredible free kick recently against Portsmouth. He is probably the world's best player at the moment and he's only 22. He is extremely popular not only in Portugal, his country but all over the world! If injury doesn't become a problem this man could be a true great!
