Cristiano Ronaldo Is Not After Individual Records - Carlo Ancelotti

It is true that we are playing well, we know how important every match is. Every match is a test and a chance to either improve or take a step back. But we are not afraid because I have a very professional team. I have to admit and make clear that we tried to play this way last year also. I'm confident with this team.

[Gareth] Bale is fine, Fábio [Coentrão], Jesé and [Dani] Carvajal are not available. [Asier] Illarramendi and [Sami] Khedira aren't either, but Bale is alright. I will decide his presence in the starting lineup tomorrow.

ENGLAND: Arsene Wenger Would Be Happy With Walcott's England Call Up

Arsene Wenger would be "happy" for Theo Walcott to link up with England, but urged caution on managing his comeback from injury. The 25-year-old returned to competitive action for the first time since sustaining a knee ligament injury in January when he came off the bench in Arsenal's 3-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday.

England face a Euro 2016 qualifying fixture at home to Slovenia on November 15 and a friendly at Scotland two days later during the upcoming international break.

I Am Extremely Loyal To Lakers - Kobe Bryant

In an interview with Yahoo Sports, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant says that asking for a trade is "not what he does."

"I hear the chatter of Kobe should ask out and he should go and play for a contender in this latter stage of his career," Bryant told Yahoo Sports. "But that's not what I do. I'm extremely loyal to the Lakers.

AC Milan Deserved To Loose - Filippo Inzaghi

Filippo Inzaghi has admitted AC Milan deserved to lose to Palermo after they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to the Sicilian side on Sunday. Cristian Zapata gave the visitors the lead with an own goal before he was easily knocked off the ball by Paulo Dybala who then doubled his side's lead.

And Inzaghi admitted that his side were not good enough against the newly promoted side, but says he deserves the blame.

I Am Proud Of My Players - Louis Van Gaal

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal insists he is not jealous of Manchester City’s squad as he prepares for his first derby on Sunday. Manuel Pellegrini's men claimed their second title in three years last season and boast a squad including the likes of Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure, David Silva and Vincent Kompany.

The Dutchman takes his team to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday having spent heavily in the summer and is optimistic his team can take all three points.

NIGERIA: The Return Of Ike Uche & Stephen Keshi

Nigeria have recalled Ikechukwu Uche to their squad ahead of next month's pair of Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Congo and South Africa. Coach Stephen Keshi, who returns to his job after being edged out two weeks ago, is going to work with the Villareal striker almost two years after they parted ways following break down in relations.

Uche was conspicuosly the best Nigeria striker in Europe last season but was ignored as Keshi opted for other strikers during the Super Eagles' World Cup campaign.

Maybe My Injury Is Hereditory - Daniel Sturridge

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge fears that the injuries which have ruled him out of much of the season could be hereditary. The former Chelsea man has not made an appearance since England's friendly against Norway in early September, having suffered from thigh and calf problems, and believes that injuries suffered by his family - including his uncle, former Derby County striker Dean Sturridge - could be linked to the issues that he has faced in recent years.

BASKETBALL: Dwight Howard Is Just A "Teddy Bear" - Kobe Bryant

You might have heard that there was some drama in the Los Angeles Lakers-Houston Rockets game last night. Old pals Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard got into it a little bit, with Bryant appearing to call Howard "soft" after receiving an elbow to the head. Postgame, Bryant didn't seem to think it was a big deal, via the Los Angeles Times' Mike Bresnahan:

"I think it's fantastic," Bryant said. "Elbows are part of the game. Trash-talking is part of the game. I don't know where the NBA became so sensitive."

BASEBALL: Super Madison Bumgarner Leads Giants To World Series Championship Victory

For the third time in the last five years, the Giants are the champions of baseball. They beat the Royals by the score of 3-2 in Game 7 on Wednesday night (box score) thanks to their bullpen and the middle of the order. It was a crispy and exciting game after five blowouts in the first six games of the series. Let's review Game 7, quick hits style.

Hero: The Giants bullpen as a whole, but especially Madison Bumgarner. Like Jake Peavy in Game 6, Tim Hudson's outing was very short...

Am Not A Goal Machine Like Ronaldo - James Rodríguez

James Rodríguez assures that he is very happy at Real Madrid. He also says that he is not a prolific goalscorer like Ronaldo, that Ancelotti is the key, and he really likes Isco. The Colombian was interviewed on Cadena SER's 'El Larguero' programme.

Real Madrid: "I always wanted to be here; I dreamed of being here since I was three or four years old, and I want to stay for a long time. I'll fight to the death to keep this dream alive for a long time. I knew I had talent, but in football you have to be lucky as well."

NO ARGUMENT: Cristiano Ronaldo Will Win Ballon d'Or - Carlo Ancelotti

Carlo Ancelotti did not mince his words when giving his opinion of the FIFA president, who said that the World Cup Golden Ball should have gone to Neuer: "It's impossible to shut Blatter up. CR7 will win the Ballon d'Or".

Although the question put to Blatter was a little confusing, as it was unclear if it referred to the Golden Ball that was awarded to Messi for his World Cup performances or to the next winner of the Ballon d'Or for 2014, the Real Madrid manager continued with his argument.

Manuel Pellegrini Worried Over Man City's Recent Failures

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini admits that he is "worried" by his side's current struggles after an impressive Newcastle dumped the League Cup holders out of the competition. Goals from Rolando Aarons and Moussa Sissoko sealed the Magpies' passage to the quarter-finals, with the visitors comfortably the better.

City are six points off the pace in the Premier League, struggling in the Champions League and have now surrendered their League Cup trophy with a whimper, leaving the Chilean in no mood to offer up excuses.

Lionel Messi Can't Rock Defences Again - Jorge Valdano

This could be a beef with the perspective that this comment is coming from a former Madrid player. Think it a bit he has scored 7 goals in La Liga with 8 assists but he has failed with his team in the both big games they have played this season. Is Jorge Valdano right or is he just playing football politics?
