mesut ozil
The relationship between soccer and the media has not been on good terms this week. On Tuesday, three stories broke regarding major soccer personalities clashing with different media sources. Here is a survey of what happened.
Back in late September, Arsenal fans everywhere celebrated the arrival of Mesut Ozil. The transfer was essential for a number of reasons. It proved that manager Arsene Wenger was willing to spend money when the opportunity came. It also made Arsenal a major contender in the Premier League. For the following months after Ozil's arrival, the Gunners became the top team in the Premier League and seemingly never looked back.
Mesut Ozil has been the harbinger of rumors and gossip over the last few months, but he has done a great deal of talking on the pitch. The Arsenal man is one of the top contenders to bring home the Ballon d'Or this year and here are a few reasons why.
While Real Madrid players are baffled by the Mesut Özil transfer, a number of Arsenal players have already expressed their elation over the new transfer. Lukas Podolski was the latest to back the arrival of the German international.
Arsenal's Mesut Özil was the best possible move that the club could have made and it is already garnering a positive reception in the clubhouse.
The day that has been long awaited has finally arrived: Barcelona and Real Madrid are ready to renew their rivalry as both squads head into Sunday's match in top form.
When La Liga begins on Saturday, 20 teams will initiate a 10 month competitive journey for Spanish league supremacy. Last season, a three year reign was ended when Real Madrid took its 32nd title with a monstrous season that included 100 points, 121 goals, and stellar plus-89 goal differential.
While La Liga is usually a two horse race, it is always intriguing to see which squads will join the fray and try to make a run and which fall out of the division all together. Here is a look at all the teams competing and where they stand as contenders.
