by Vir Chiniwala AFTER 50 matches, football's European championships came to a thrilling end with underdogs Portugal upsetting France in a dramatic extra-time winner. We take a look at the five biggest takeaways from the final. 1. Portugal isn't just about Cristiano Ronaldo Around the 16th minute in the game, Ronaldo was brought down after a clumsy tackle by France's Dimitri Payet.
by Vir Chiniwala IT'S common understanding that the biggest football stars earn millions. What's also commonly known, but probably less publicised, is that many evade taxes in order to keep those millions. Now this issue is in the spotlight after a ruling that found celebrity footballer Lionel Messi and his father guilty of evading tax from 2007 to 2009 by using tax havens in Belize and Uruguay.
by Vir Chiniwala WHO would've thought that in the year England's top football league made a record breaking television rights deal of £5.14 billion (S$9.19 billion), the headlines of the world would be focused on football in China.

Once the curtain came down on David Moyes' reign as Manchester United manager, it was clear that the Reds required a major overhaul to bring stability back to the club. Following the inevitable reshaping of the squad and the backroom staff under Louis Van Gaal, it seems that the club is in need of major surgery once again.
It has been a disastrous second season at Manchester United - one that has seen support for the Iron Tulip evaporate at an alarming rate.
Few would have guessed that Jesse Lingard would be one of Manchester United's most explosive attackers this season. Not after Memphis Depay's £25 million acquisition in the summer, nor Juan Mata's rejuvenation. Adnan Januzaj's determination to find a place in Louis van Gaal's team early in the campaign also pointed towards Lingard's exclusion.
When Manchester United announced the signing of Memphis Depay, before the end of last season, United fans were right to be excited about the prospect of watching the Eredivisie top scorer in red. Memphis' lethal combination of pace and trickery fit well with the Dutch international's swagger - very much a traditional United wide player.
Two months into the summer 2015 transfer window and Louis Van Gaal has certainly strengthened Manchester United's squad with a quintet of acquisitions. Matteo Darmian is a huge upgrade over Antonio Valencia at right-back and Memphis Depay adds flair and a sense of unpredictability to United's forward line.
Former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola had little but positivity for Pedro - full name Pedro Eliezer Rodriguez Ledesma - in 2011. It aptly sums up the Catalan winger's career. Despite the Spanish international winning every trophy attainable before his 23rd birthday, Pedro has been under-appreciated in everywhere outside Catalonia.

Rooney featured in 14 games in midfield last season, with the Reds' best striker largely wasted in the centre of the pitch.
A few months ago it looked certain that Ilkay Gündoğan would be heading through the exit door at Signal Iduna Park and into the arms of the red half of Manchester. At one stage Sky Germany even reported a transfer done - pending a medical that never materialised.
The young Frenchman was marked out of the game in the first half after being deployed on the left hand side by Louis Van Gaal. However, the former Monaco man looked most dangerous when picking up the ball in central areas.
Monaco's Vice President, Vadim Vasilyev dropped a bombshell on the eve of Manchester United's clash against Arsenal claiming that there was another club that offered a larger amount of money than the Reds for Anthony Martial. With United short of attacking options upfront after the departures of Robin Van Persie, Javier Hernandez and Radamel Falcao, [...]
