Tottenham slowly crept from behind, taking down whoever was in their way. 8 games played and CSKA's Rule was only 3 points ahead of Tottenham. With a combined goals of 13, Doumbia and Honda were only 2nd and 3rdagainst Frenchman Gameiro of PSG. FC Porto’s Hulk and Varela were Solid at the 4th and 5th spot.
Midway thru the season and CSKA was still at force. The Striker from Paris was leading the way with 10 goals. This was followed with 9 and shared by the Spanish Striker Negredo of Sevilla and Modibo Maiga of Sochaux. CSKA’s Honda, Love, and Doumbia shared a total of 21 goals. Equally divided into 3, the trio took third place along with Brazilian Hulk. Santos’ Dagoberto and Napoli Striker Cavani had 4th and 5th respectively.
The League progressed and the English Premier League's Tottenham were 1 match away from the Russian leaders. Scoring leader Maiga of Sochaux found the back of the net 19 times, while the Japanese Emperor Honda, patiently stood at 14.
Italian teams burst onto the scene without permission. 4th placers Napoli settled in at 2nd place, with only 1 point behind Moscow’s troops. Bottom placers Lazio, led by Djibril Cisse, silently marched their way to 4th place. English side Tottenham equally shared points with Lazio, but led with more goals to control 3rd place. The Malian Maiga now owning 23 goals was followed by the Keiser with 20. Frenchman Gameiro paced himself with 15.
The league was now at its final stages. With Napoli in 2nd, the battle for 3rd and 4th place was the center for battle. Tottenham, Sevilla, Lazio, Sochaux, PSG, and Porto were at least 1 point apart from each other. With a few games left to play, every 90 minute match was crucial then on.
Gameiro and Nene's combined goals of 32 had them at 2nd and 4th place on the Goal Scorers Standings. Maiga and Honda shared the top spot with 23 goals each. Van Persie’s left foot that contributed 17 goals for the Gunners had Bronze all over it.
The Italian invasion did not stop there. Team Captain Francesco Totti’s Italian Squad Roma, was on a warpath blasting their way to 4th place. His 5 Man Defense Line proved its Philosophy and Strength by conceding only 18 goals and 10 clean sheets at the end.
With the final games at hand, only Spanish side Sevilla and Frenchmen Sochaux had the chance to stop CSKA from taking the title and turning the League around. But it was at Sevilla Spain, that the Russian Side CSKA Moscow successfully lifted the trophy. The Malian from Sochaux took home the Golden Boot with 34 goals. Italian teams Napoli and Roma took the Silver and Bronze trophy. Qatar Investment Authority’s French Squad was the victorious team to take 4th place. A fragile point separated all succeeding teams until 9th place. It was almost unpredictable.

Please stand up, please stand up!
The Philippine National Football Team can be a sensitive topic. There is the line that separates Football Fans and The National Team's fans. Love them or hate them, they represent the Nation and Country I live in.
Fifa 12 has been released for more than a week now. Our humble local (and international) group of Filipino Fifa players are still adjusting to the new changes. Unfortunately, there are also many who are already mercilessly dominating. In a country dominated by basketball or the "NBA 2k12" video game, the positive we have seen is an increase of Fifa 12 Players.
The recent topic a few have been talking about is if there is a Philippines or "Azkals" team in Fifa 12. Yes, thru the game's Creation Centre. Around 20 of them.
As a football fan and Fifa 12 player, with help from fellow colleagues, and to hopefully avoid sensitive topics and criticism, I present The Philippine "Azkals" National Football Team.

Another version any hardcore Philippine "Azkals" National Football Team fan would appreciate is the "true to life", 24/7 updated squads, creation of kanoy09. From the official National Team to the Under-23 and 21 squad, name it, he has it.

Catching the first leg on the Saturday replay, it was obvious Messi
beat Real Madrid. On tonights meeting, Real Madrid beat up Messi.
Real Madrid's performance was unfortunate. Their passing, felt stuck
up. It was a team obvious of lack in chemistry. Lassana isn't the
Lassana Diara i applauded for before. Ronaldo pushed in the beginning
but could only push so far. Real's latest signings Kaka and Higuain
were hopefuls. Carvalho and Albiol were on a different flight.
Casillas was the only one exerting and stretching his efforts. Marcelo
played with desire.
Madrid pressed early on in the match but changed it's pace soon
enough. Higuain was rusty and could not meet Cristiano Ronaldo's
demands. Xavi Alonso wasn’t there. It was an empty first half.
Barcelona played well tonight. Comfort, familiarity and vision was
most evident in their passing. Iniesta's pass which Pedro completed
had Real's defense watching. Messi's presence on the ball was also
feared by Real's defense. Messi took a beating, or is this always?
Mascherano on the other hand was nominated, but failed to win the award.
Di Maria's shaky attempt was recovered by his assist to Marcelo. But a
sparky come back was not ignited.
Welcome back Eric Abidal! You are an inspiration.

Arsenal hosts Manchester United
18 minutes have gone and Arsenal have possesion. Wilshere scuba diving.
And Arsenal continues to deliver beautiful football. Fabio with a scare.
The better twin.
Good job by the ref blocking the pass. Commentator says, "he didn't
even look at the ball."
Sir Alex is complaining calls are not going their way, handball on
Vidic is suggested. Overlooked by our referee. Wilshere minutes ago
pulled Carrick's leg as they both went up. Whistle from the ref
without punishment. Wilshere is slowly becoming the naughty boy of
Arsenal. Ramsey for Fabregas??! Anytime!!!
Manchester United seems tired. Arsenal had all week to rest and have
nothing to lose tonight. Arsene Wenger to leave Arsenal?? Is the
stupidest idea "supporters" are calling for.
The ref makes a second touch on the ball tonight!!! Has failed to call
the handball a while ago!! And again disrupts Arsenal's run! Halftime.
Rooney's freekick gives a scare in the second half. That sound, after
the freekick was struck, sounded like the black toy Armalites when we
were younger. 52 mins. Ramsey had a chance and he knew it.
Manchester United a while ago were on the break. Arsenal again shaky
on defense. Nani throws a cross in the middle, Hernandez inches away
from heading it in!
AARON RAMSEY!!!!! ASSIST FROM CAPITAN ROBIN VAN PERSIE!!!! 56th
minute!!! Do not count Manchester out.
30 minutes left and heartbeats!!! Song makes a tackle and soon finds
he is in between 4 United players. The adrenalin! Minute by minute!!!
63. 64.
66 minutes and Evra asks for a penalty. Corner and the machine gun is
there again. Djourou is down. 67. As the replay suggests, it was a
looong 1-2 from Ramsey and Van Persie. Good for Ramsey to put up his
hands and ask for the ball from RVP. Squilacci replaces Djourou.
70 minutes gone and i feel exhaustion. 72 minutes and Van der Sar
plays it from outside the box. Passes it back to him and he cooly
passes back. I remember him at Fulham playing like this. Reyes? I
believe charged at him and scored. Not so cool. Berbatov for
Hernandez. And that Armalite is there again.
Rooney and his team were on a scare. Squilacci again. Szcesny saves!!!
Counter Arsenal and United defends. Van der Sar is there again playing
with the ball COOLY. Eboue for Walcott 78 mins.
80 minutes and the adrenalin starts pumping back. The shivers are
here, and the heartbeat, the heartbeats!!!
Arsenal on the break! Arshavin!!?? Van der Sar plays it COOLY again!
Do it again Edwin!!! 82 mins, Arshavin fouled by Fabio. The crowd is
roaring up! 83 minutes! Freekick... Good save from the Dutchman. My
throat hurts. 84 minutes, Owen for Carrick.
Arsenal has intercepted most of United's passing. Now Arshavin
tackles, Arsenal on the break. Cmon Arshavin catch it. 86 minutes and
hanging on.
87 mins and Owen drops in the box. Stomped on as seen on the replay. No
penalty. 87:51!!!! Sit down Sir Alex!! Again Arsenal with a chance!!!
Now its Szcesny who plays it cool. Teasing!!
89:22!!!!! Valencia cross!!! Armalite!!! Trarararara. Szcesny is
there! 90:16 with 4 minutes added time. I am speechless. The
game is not yet over and i cannot believe this. The roars are loud but not loud
enough. 91:45. Valencia continues to break on the right. 92:24!!!!!
Arsene looks at his watch. Sir Alex is standing up. 93:04 and Ramsey
gives away a freekick. Blocked! and cheers from the crowd. Still not
loud enough. 93:57. 94:11. The whistle is blown.
Chelsea is the biggest surprise. The crowd chants with pride. Aaron
Ramsey is the man. Manchester United is still Manchester United.
Arsenal performed.

I catch the game 12 minutes in and what a smother packing tackle from
Kevin Davies on Song. After 40 "tap-outs" from my masseuse, i am
floating. Sturridge is the man to keep an eye on from Bolton. You'll
see why. Taylor of Bolton again with a "Super Smash Brothers" tackle.
Yellow card.
