Brazilian football legend Ronaldo has been confirmed as the newest member of the Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the 2014 World Cup.
Reports from the South American country suggested that the two-time World Cup winner would succeed Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) president Ricardo Teixeira at the head of the LOC, after corruption allegations had compromised the administrator s public image in Brazil.
Appearing alongside Teixeira on Thursday to announce his new role, it was revealed that Ronaldo instead would work in an advisory capacity and not as president, and the ex-striker affirmed that he was delighted to be involved.
For me it is an honour to take on this challenge, make it a great experience for the Brazilian people and demonstrate our prid…

The average age of PSG s starting XI was 24 years and 157 days, which was the youngest starting XI to be named in a Champions League semi-final since Arsenal in May 2009.

His excellent header was the centre-back s first goal in the Champions League for Dortmund since February 2013.

Jose Mourinho on Saturday rated 2010 as the best year of my career after guiding his former club Inter Milan to the Italian league, Cup and Champions League titles.
If I had to give 2010 a mark from 1 to 10 it would be an 11, the ever modest Portuguese coach told a press conference here.
I won everything with Inter. And then with Real Madrid every possibility is still available. The championship is open, we are still in the (Spanish) Cup, and the Champions League.
