Atletico Madrid Bastian Schweinsteiger Bayern Munich Diego Diego Forlan Dirk Kuyt Inter Milan Javier Mascherano Liverpool Maicon Manchester City Real Madrid Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti is ready to oversee transfer business worth a staggering €160 MILLION in the coming days. Gazzetta dello Sport says Moratti is set to ignore fellow directors urging him to reign in his spending to splash out on several players. However, first Moratti will seek to rake in over €60 million from the sales of fullback Douglas Maicon and striker Mario Balotelli. Manchester City officials will be in Milan tomorrow to finalise a €35 million deal for Balotelli. Once that agreement is closed, Moratti will resume talks with Real Madrid over Maicon's departure. Inter, meanwhile, have made contact with Liverpool to discuss a deal worth up to €50 million for Javier Mascherano and Dirk Kuyt.

Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is a major injury doubt for Sunday's World Cup showdown with England.. .

Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has insisted star midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is not for sale.. .

No, we will not have a reprise of history, we will not have the brilliant neurotics of the Netherlands against the latest manifestation of the German genius for making one formidable team after another.

Bastian Schweinsteiger did not exactly smash down the door and shout, like a bar-room bully, "bring on Spain", but he is not a young man to equivocate on or off the field. The question was simple enough and so was his answer. If he had the choice of semi-final opponents, he would choose Spain not Paraguay.

Bastian Schweinsteiger insists Spain are the favourites for Wednesday's World Cup semi-final encounter in Durban, despite Germany being the most impressive team in South Africa so far.. .

When ‘pretending to be your favourite footballer’ turns meta…There’s something rather endearing about 1) a professional footballer still willing to have a kick-about with strangers in the park and 2) him doing it wearing a shirt recently acquired at a World Cup game.

3 July 2010ARGENTINA 0GERMANY 4 (Muller 3, Klose 67, Friedrich 74, Klose 89)Argentina's crap defence faced it's first real test of the tournament and we got confirmation that their defence was indeed crap. Muller easily lost his marker, Otamendi, to head in Schweinsteiger's free kick. Germany were stringing passes together on the left, Heinze threw himself at the ball to intercept a pass, got a feint touch but straight into traffic, Muller burst into the box and pulled the ball back to Klose who blazed over, bad miss. Higuain pleaded with the ref, Irmatov, to show Muller a yellow for handball after he intercepted from Messi, who handled the ball himself on the same play. It means Muller misses the next match which is of course a huge blow but may give an opportunity to the player that was once Germany's big hope before the sudden explosion of talent - Toni Kroos.Charlize Theron was in the stands and judging by the glum look on her beautiful face was rooting for Argentina.[...]

13 June 2010GERMANY 4 (Podolski 8, Klose 26, Muller 67, Cacau 70)AUSTRALIA 0The Germans were given an early scare from the first corner of the game. Cahill's powerful header bounced off Neill's right hand, as Garcia turned onto the rebound and shot both Neuer and Lahm flew off the line to charge him down, the ball slammed off Lahm's knees and was cleared. That was as good as it got for the Australians. Klose blew a great chance, shooting straight at Schwarzer. Ozil pulled down Schweinsteiger's deep crossfield pass, turned his marker inside out then released Muller on the overlap and Podolski absolutely HAMMERED his cut-back into the net, the shot measured a net bursting 82mph or 132 kms. Klose missed another easy chance before taking his third. Lahm swung in a tremendous cross, Schwarzer ran off his line, got nowhere near the ball and Klose headed into an empty net. Ozil had a shot cleared off the line and Khedira headed wide before the ref, who was excellent, mercifully blew[...]
