Vitor Borba Ferreira, Or better known and loved by the footballing world as simply RIVALDO.
Rivaldo was born in a very ,very poor part of Paulista in BRAZIL. He was so poor and undernourished that the because of malnutration, it all can be very well be seen in his scanty hair and a few teeth that have fallen out. But these things did not affect his football attall. It was all there for him to show his bag of tricks, and they were many to enjoy.
After his BRAZIL club ,it was EUROPES turn to see and players fear.
First there was talk of him joining PARMA in ITALY, but instead he went to SPAIN and joined DEPORTA LA COURANA for a year.He then shifted to BARCELONA for sum of 26, million dollars.It was here that he shone winning the LA LIGA in two sucessive years and one COPA DEL REY trophy. His goals were just super. His free kicks just thundered in like a canon ball. And his bycicklekicks were a sight to see. At BARCELONA they made a saying it went like this. Seeing is believing ,and believing is seeing. His best goal in SPAIN was a glorious hat trick verses VALENCIA in the nintyth minute he completed the hat trick with a wonderful bycicle kick , with the refree to blow the whistle. The score stood at 3_2 in favour of BARCELONA, so taking BARCELONA to the U.E.F.A of 2001 season.
He fell out with the Dutch coach Lois Van Gaal, over his position Rivaldo wanted his playmaker post Van Gaal wanted him to be astriker. He left forA .C . MILAN ,there to he failed to settle down, did not agree with ANCHELOTTI and at one time was the costliest substitute. He then went to GREECE and first played for OLYPIKOS ,and then A. K. ATHENS.
He has always been accused for playing better for the club, then for the country, even at the olyympics.
He has played in two world cupsin 1998 and 2002,In both the world cups he scored goals as wellas provided the ball to RONALDOto score his goals.The 2002 world was marred for RIVALDO for his play acting.
RIVALDO was hit on the thigh gently by the TURKISH footballer HACKAN UNSAL, but RIVALDO fell to the ground holding his face.This ugly seen led to the Turk Hakan UnSAL to get his second yellow card foolowed by a red.The TURKISH coach was angry at the SOUTH KOREAN refree and said this to world cup press.
(TURKEY during the KOREAN war sent troops to fight along the AMERICANS and KOREANS as allays.But one stupid SOUTH KOREAN refree has heart us more then all the north Koreans put together.
Later F.I.F.A ,saw the video again and fined RIVALDO a sum of1,670 dollars,for bringing the game to ilrespute.
RIVALDOhas played 548 games , and scored a total of 248 goals and still going strong at thirtysix.

REFREES WHO HAVE MADE HOWLERS.
I havealways been a big fan of football for the past twenty years. But Ifeel the refree have often made big blunders, and Manchester United always get the refrees suport. F.I.FA. always puts up Banners saying PLEASE PLAY FAIR. But are the refrees playing fair?
According to F.I.F.A rules a refree must retire at the age of fourtyfive years. So at Paul Durkins last match as a refree the game was between Newcastle United and Manchester United. Alan Shearer was tripped in the box and apealed for a penalty, but Paul Durkin did not give it.
But the next day he admits it that he had made a mistake.
2 In a match between Arsenal and Manchester United the refree Mike Riley gave Manchester United a penalty when Sol Cambell did not even touch the players leg.
3 In a match between Totnem Hotspur vs Manchester United. Pedro Mendes kicked the ball like a canon ball. It hit the Manchester United goalkeeper Roy Carol on the chest and clearly crossed the line. But Carol picked up the ball from behind the line and continued the game. We in India could see it clearly. But not the refree. India is some where onehundredand fityth in the world. but we know when a goal is scored. It was after this incident that Mr Blatter has asked for aball with a chipin it.
4 Steve Benett gave a penalty when the ball hit William Galas s arm , both the hands were down and no intention was there to touch it.
5 Paul Scholes who was already on a yellow card , should have got a red in the last game vs Wigan Athlatic.
6 In the same match Rio Ferdinand outstretched arm was hit by the ball, and still Steve Bennet did not give a penalty.
7 In the 2007 2008 semi final between Arsenal and Liverpool, in the first leg . Alesander Hlep was dropped clearly in the box for the world to see,by Dirk Kuyt. But the Dutch refree Petr Vink did not give it . In the second leg Ryan Babel was pushed down in the box. This time the refree gave Liverpool a penalty.
8 Another thing to note very carefuly is that when ever a manager of a team that is greived by the refree and the manager takes the problem to the fourth refree and explains his feelings. THE FOURTH REFREE WILL ALWAYS SUPORT THE REFREE ON THE FIELD. We must remember that refrees to are men and not god they make mstakes like
9 Graham Poll in the 2006 world cup showed a Croatian footballer three yellow cards followed by a red card.
But what can be done we can not let them go scot free as they are employs of F.I F.A, U.E.F.A.and the F. A. Then this good game is spoilt.
My sugestion is a small fine and a ban for a few games. Or apoint a retired refree like mr Coolina to judge the standard of refreeing.

WHEN DISCIPLINE WAS MOST NEEDED.
During the champion league final between MANCHESTER UNITED and CHELSEA. As both the managers decided to go into penalty shootout, as both clubs had very good goalkeepers of world fame and bags of experience as well. The result would have been quite diffrent had not Drogba not got his marching orders after his shameful act of slapping Videk. Which made CHELSEA short of a penalty striker. John Terry was not on the list of five penalty takers. He came in the place of Drogba. It was very costly as John Terry sliped and the ball flew wide of the post.
The lesson to be learnt by all footballers is to be disciplined till the refree blows the final whistle.
In the 1999 champion final between MANCHESTER UNITED and BAYERN MUNICH in which Manchester united won by a score of 2-1. In that final Paul Scholes and Roy Keane were suspended for that match . this gave Scholes a chance to play in a final and win a medal.

Every year when the season ends three clubs in all countries get demoted ,and three clubs get promoted. At a time like this there are an exodus of players,who join clubs in the top level.
But at times we do get players who remain loyal to the club and even big clubs have failed to get them in the big teams . Here are a few of them
1 FRANSISCO MIGUEL NARVAEZ MACHON. Or better known and loved at ATLETICO MADRID as simply KIKO . He played from 1993 to 2001 at the club . But when the club was relegated,in the year 2000 he stayed with the club,without a salary and brought it to the top level the following year.
2 GABRIEL BATISTUTA the Argentinan is another famous footballer. He played his club football for mannny years at Florence ITALY for the club FIORENTINA. But when th club was demoted in the year 1993. Batistuta stayed on and the following year Florientina were back in SIERA . So touched were the people of FLORENCE in gratitude they made a life size bronze statue of GABRIEL BATISTUTA in the city center.
3&4 There are two very famous and highly paid fooballers who refused to leave JUVENTUS in ITALY when they were demoted in the year 2005 ,2006 for getting involved in a shameful scandal . There were many footballers who left Juventus for INTERMILAN and other clubs.
But the loyal pair stayed on , they were DAVID TRZEGUET and PAVEL NEDVED. PLEASE note Pavel Nedved was brought from LASSIO for 41, million dollars a record. IF he left the line would be long to buy him. Sorry it was 41 million euros,not dollars.

MANCHESTER UNITED AND MANU TRUTH.
Around the world thousands of Manchester United fans go around claiming so very proudly that they are very much MANU fans and their website has MANU on it. It would be nice if I explained,and the truth is very hurtful.
The U means you and was a chant started by the WEST BROM FANS. iT STARTED AFTER THE 1958 Munich aircrash, the chant goes like this DUNCAN EDWARDS is manure ,rotting in his grave. Man you are manure rotting in your grave.
LIVERPOOL and LEEDS UNITED had their very own taunt. It goes like this MAN U went ona plane , MAN U MAN U did not ever come back home and MAN U MAN U you never intended to come back home. ( If you combine the first letter of each wordof the second line you get the word MUNICH) think we must enlighten the RED DEVIL fans.must. Even though I am a strong ARSENAL fan , I must enligten them no harm.

PET NAMES OF SOME FAMOUS FOOTBALLERS.
1 PELE,The great Brazilan footballer whose real name was EDISON Arantes Do Nasscimento,got his first name after Thomas Edison. But Pele comes from his school days as he could not pronounce the nane of his favourite footballer the goalkeeper of the VASCO DA GAMA club who was called BILE ,Edison called him PILE and the classmates teased him and the name has always stuck.
2 DUNGA . The Brazilian footballer and coach of the natinol team is of ITALIAN and GERMAN decent. The name DUNGA was given by his own uncle,it a portugeese word meaning DOPPE, from the fairytale SNOWWHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS. The uncle thought that his nephew CARLOS CAETANO BLEDRON VERRI would never ever grow up in size and would remain a dwarf ,and named him DOPPE. The name has stuck to him for ever.
3 The Spanish footballer FERNANDO TORRES gets his pet name THE ELNINO, meaning THE KID during his early years at the Spanish club Atlético Madrid. Because of his babby face.
4 The great Hungarian footballer FERNC PUSKAS was always called the cannon. By structure he was short and stout and had a powerful kick which went like a cannon ball. Along with the great Argentinan ALBERTO STEFANO who both played for REAL MADRID were a fantastic pear.
