Ronaldinho will not be with Brazil in their next games

Some names have been come out of the players that had been summoned to be part of Brazil's national team in their next friendly matches in October. Pato, Robinho and Nelmar's name were in the convocation list, while Ronaldinho and Neimar's weren't. Still this doesn't mean that they won't be part of the national team, but for now they have been called.

Lega Serie A - Giornata 4

The most expected games for the 3rd round of the Italian League:

Internazionale Milano goaled Bari 4-0, with two penalty shots by Eto'o and two goals by Milito. Inter Milan's next game in the Serie A is against Roma. Inter Milan hasn't lost a game in the league and Roma hasn't won one

Ac Milan tied with Lazio 1-1. Ibrahimovic still showing how good he had coupled with the team.

Palermo almost goaled Juventus, but in the last minutes of the game Juventus managed to score, leaving the game 3-1.

La Liga Round 4

Barcelona defeated Sporting Gijón 1-0, a victory that surprised many fans, as it was thought that Barcelona will defeat Sporting by more goals. Messi was absent of this game because of his injury and Bojan took his place, what raised the question: can Barcelona keep their rhythm without Messi?

Atlético Madrid and Valencia tied. Both teams did a great game, but the star of the night once again was Atlético's goalkeeper De Gea. There are rumors that Manchester United is interested in buying this young, but talented goalkeeper.

Malaga defeated Getafe 2-0 and Villareal defeated Deportivo Bilbao 1-0

Sevilla tied Real Racing de Santander 1-1. Jesus Navas was absent in this game, and some say that his absence can be a factor for Sevilla not to win.

At the moment, Real Madrid, Valencia and Sevilla are the only teams that haven't lost a game yet. Real Madrid and Valencia are in the top of the chart, as they have only tied a game each and Sevilla has tied two.

Paulo Bento to lead Portugal's national team

Paulo Bento was announced to be Portugal's national team new manager until 2012. Rumors that Joseph Mourinho (Real Madrid's current manager) would be the manager were spread, and actually he was considered, but they ended up selecting Paulo Bento. Bento played in some Portugal's football clubs, played for the national team for 10 years and also managed some football teams with some success. Let's see if Portugal can regain their ranking with this new manager of if they will keep lowering it.

Ujfalusi will lose two games

Atlético Madrid player Ujfalusi has been suspended for two games after getting a red card for injuring Messi's ankle. It has been said that Messi will be back in the field in two weeks, but it all depends on how well his recovery goes. Luckily there was no fracture or anything big.

A trainer from another Spanish team said that this considerations are only taken when this kinds of fouls are committed against players like Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, but for any other player the red card is enough.

Athletic Bilbao & Real Madrid win the 4th round of La Liga

Athletic Bilbao got their first victory of La Liga against Mallorca. Athletic Bilbao dominated the game, and this paid off as a 3-0 victory, one of the goals by penalty. This victory comes great for this team, as they hadn't won any game since the beginning of La Liga and their nest game is against Barcelona.

Real Madrid continues their undefeated strike in La Liga. Espanyol started giving a few scares to Real Madrid in the first half, but luckily for Madrid's team they were just scares. Ronaldo finally scores his first goal of the season by a penalty kick, followed by a goal by Higuain, giving Real Madrid a solid advantage against Espanyol. Pepe got two yellow cards and was expelled from the game, but this didn't affect much the team; a few minutes later Garlán from Espanyol also was expelled from the field, evening the amount of players in each team. Almost at the end, Benzema scored the 3rd and final goal of the game. Espanyol played very good, but not good enough to defeat the legendary Real Madrid.
