Can 6 Year Old Madin Mohammed Be the Next Zinedine Zidane?

[via Goal.com]

British tabloid The Sun has sensationally reported that Chelsea and Real Madrid will battle it out for the right to have a six-year-old child on their books.

The talent in question is French youngster Madin Mohammed, who is described as an "amazing talent."

Christian Lazaoui, the president of Madin's local club, Roubaix, added, "He can cross the ball, control it, swerve, pass between the legs. He is spectacular with the ball--really magic."

Madin's family moved from to France from Algeria three years ago and has reportedly been handed a scholarship by the FFF (French Football Federation).

The Algerian link has brought inevitable comparisons between the child and Zinedine Zidane, but you can judge for yourself!

Will They Stay or Will They Go?

Yesterday two of the biggest questions of the off season in football were answered.


As I'm sure many of you heard either last night or this morning that Brett Favre will be joining the New York Jets after a trade was announced last night.

I'm sure everyone knows the story, how could you not, the Brett Favre saga has been in the headlines everyday for weeks. The Green Bay Packers stuck with their decision to go with Cal product Aaron Rodgers as quarterback next season and reluctantly dealt Favre to the Jets for draft picks.


Now, in other football news that you probably haven't heard, Portuguese superstar winger Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to stay with Manchester United for at least one more year. After leading the Red Devils to a Premier League Title and a UEFA Champions League Title this past season, Ronaldo expressed interest in playing in Spain, for Real Madrid in particular.

Now with both soap operas officially over, we as a sporting community can finally move on. No more speculation and waiting, we have our answers, let's be done with it.
