Argentine star footballer lionel Messi who is often regarded by many as the greatest footballer of his generation was on the verge of making history for himself a couple of days back against Germany. . The Barcelona hit-man has won almost every accolade in football except the world cup which would have made him to be listed among the likes of Pele and Madonna had it been Argentina beat Germany in the world cup final in Brazil yesterday, but unfortunately they lost  to the European giants.

Transfer Update

Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal hope to sign  Arturo Vidal, Angel Di Maria and Mats Hummels in triple deal.

Louis van Gaal will officially begin work at Manchester United this week and he’s confident of agreeing a triple deal for Angel Di Maria, Arturo Vidal and Mats Hummels.
Van Gaal has declined the offer of a holiday and will take charge at Old Trafford just days after Holland’s exit from the World Cup – and he’s made three players key targets.
According to the Daily Star, Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria remains high on his list of targets, despite PSG’s interest in the player.


Chilean midfielder Vidal, who plays for Juventus, is also a key target but United want a reduction on his £32million transfer fee before doing business.
And the club also hope to land Germany sensation Hummels, with talks with Borussia Dortmund going on for weeks for the centre back.
Deals for all three players would likely cost United in excess of £100million.

They play Brasil on Saturday for the third place

Van Gaal: "It's better to lose 7-1 than on penalties"

Holland manager Louis van Gaal has commented that in his opinion, much worse than being thrashed 7-1, as happened to Brazil in the semis, is losing on penalties - which is what happened to his team when they were sent packing.
"The team is very sad, very sad; a dream was broken that will not return", he said in Brasilia, where Holland will face Brazil in the fight for third place in the World Cup championship.
Van Gaal's men crashed out of the World Cup in the penalty shoot-out after extra time, while Brazil were slaughtered by Germany seven goals to one.
"Our aim was to be number one; we all feel bad. To lose like that is terrible. It's better to lose 7-1, because at least you lose the game. We didn't lose the game, we lost on penalties, which is sad", Van Gaal lamented. He is to have his last game as manager of the Oranje prior to his move to Manchester United.
The Dutchman at least wants his men to walk away from the World Cup as the first Dutch team to do so without having lost a game in the tournament. "That must be our next objective. We must leave unbeaten", he said.
"I am disappointed; we came here with one objective and with the self-confidence to make it, and we have shown (that it was possible). We knew that we were not the team with the highest quality, but we knew we were the hardest to beat. I said as much before the tournament began. Not reaching the final is a real shame."
