Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri believes that his player Cristiano Ronaldo deserves to win the Ballon d'Or. He made the statement after some rumors that the Portuguese player was not on the shortlist of players that are competing for the trophy.

He said that Ronaldo has been an outstanding player last season and that he deserves to win the competition. He said that the player has been really good with Real Madrid last season and that he needs to be among the players that are selected for the award.

Cristiano Ronaldo has admitted that he is uncertain whether Barcelona's star Lionel Messi will be on the podium for the Ballon d'Or as their struggle for supremacy continues to rumble. Ronaldo left Real Madrid to Juventus in July, but he is still struggling with Barcelona's Messi to win the world's most prestigious individual prizes. The Balloon d'Or list was released earlier this month, and both players have qualified to receive the award along with 28 other global superstars.

Cristiano Ronaldo will fancy his possibility of winning the award, having driven Real Madrid to the Champions League glory just two months before his departure. Messi is meanwhile a dark horse this year, despite signing Barcelona to the La Liga and Copa Del Rey titles and Ronaldo has now talked about Ballon d'Or and claims he is unsure whether Lionel Messi will make the podium.

The recent presentation of David Beckham of his MLS franchise crest and name signaled another wave of excitement towards soccer coming back to the South Florida. This season, the pressure on Beckham will be more to succeed in Miami. He has especially given the compromise his investment group as well as he and is asking the city to make.

There is even more pressure considering the last failure of Ex MLS franchise Miami Fusion that folded in the year 2001. The Inter Miami CF is all set to go in 2020, and that with no players, no stadium and no coach. Beckham and people on his side have their work cut out. Many things need to be brought into place if CR7 is to be convinced to make Inter Miami CF his home for the upcoming inaugural season.

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez said that the team has a lot of young talents and that there is no doubt that they will come back stronger for the next tournament. He was speaking after the match where his side was beaten 1-0 by France.

He said that it was a disappointing result and that they were hoping that they could reach the final after having a great tournament. Indeed Belgium managed to eliminate Brazil in the last round and was hoping that this time around they could win the first major tournament of their history.

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure is keen on prolonging his Premier League career regardless of whether the Citizens offer him a new contract beyond the summer. The 34-year-old was handed a 12-month extension at the end of the previous season but has yet to start a league game this term with all seven of his appearances coming off the bench.

As such, his chances of getting another extension look highly unlikely but he is still prepared to remain in England. According to Metro, Tourehas a bumper £500,000-a-week offer from an unnamed Chinese outfit in addition to interest from ex-club AS Monaco but the veteran is firm on his decision to take up a new Premier League challenge.
