    I guess. There's a reason he's going to end up at Manchester City. Even Milan won't pay him the purported 180k a week Citeh have floated.

    If they'd used the headline "Solano Gunning For Victory", I'm sure it would have been fine.

    Does the English FA have a tampering rule like the NFL? I ask since Scolari has been encouraging Ronaldo to leave ManU for Real Madrid.

    United's already filed an official complaint to UEFA about Real's president doing the same. I would imagine they could try to do the same against Scolari.

    Big Phil's scared about what Ronaldo's going to do to his Chelsea defense next season.

    "I was supposed to hold the balls but I really have no idea how to do that," said German keeper Jana Bach.

    Sure you don't, sweetheart. Sure you don't.

    True, but that only goes to show how weak the tampering rules are right now. The way they worded the ruling, you can imagine anyone would be able to come out and say: "Of course Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world, and we, as any club in the world, would love to have him play for us. But he is under contract to Manchester United."

    You could say practically anything, and as long as that last sentence is included, you won't get punished.
