Rejoice: Buffon Will Be Healed Up for Milan

As we know, Buffon has went under the knife to fix a long meniscus problem, and is expected to actually be in fighting form for the match against Milan. The goalkeeper is one of the best, and it really helps his team because they will definitely need them for this powerhouse. The star is undergoing some pretty outstanding recovery, and is much more resilient than people had imagined. This just shows how much this man loves what he does, and understands that he is very integral for the success of Juventus, as they really will need their goalkeeper to be in top shape if they want to contend with one of the best football clubs in the world.

He was expected to recover by January 24, but considering the serious regimen and the proactive role Buffon has taken in his recovery, this number will probably be slashed by two weeks, which is just in time for their match. With both of the teams operating at full strength, there is, of course, the chance that the game will be a lot more memorable. On top of that, there will not be any room for fans of the losing team to be able to blame the absence of any key player, so there will be plenty of real bragging rights to throw around.

All in all, this is a match that many have been waiting for, and with their goalkeeper being on schedule, this will live up to all of the hype that it generated.

West Ham United Squares off Against Chelsea: Joe Visits His Old Club

This has been one of the msot interesting match-ups that we have seen thus far. The reunion of West Ham and Chelsea, something that in recent years West Ham has not really had it easy. In fact, it was more than five years ago since West Ham has been victorious over Chelsea, but this is something that many people feel that this may be the year for West Ham to actually pull one out, garnering a very elusive win for the football club, given the shape that incarnation that Chelsea is in as of late.

There are quite a few interesting points about this game, especially considering the history that the two teams share. Also, the predictions that people are slating for the game are not really as people would have expected. Chelsea is supposed, by analysts, to win the game by 1-0. Also, there is the fact that Joe Mourinho is the coach going against his old football club, which is something that many people are going to be tuning in for.

All in all, this will be a game that many people will find interesting, even if they are not the hugest fans of the sport. The fact that Chelsea is not in the best shape, and with a hungry West Ham team taking the field, it will definitely be one that many people will remember, if anything.
