EPL: Liverpool Defender Daniel Agger Could Miss a Month

After suffering a calf strain during last Sunday's FA Cup game against Oldham, Liverpool defender Daniel Agger could miss a month as he recovers from the injury. Due to the injury, it is very likely that he will miss big games against the fifth place Everton and the league-leading Arsenal.

The injury adds more problems for Liverpool on the defensive end. Prior to Agger's injury, the team is already without one center-back and two full-backs in Sebastian Coates, Jose Enrique  and Jon Flanagan.

La Liga: Messi Impressive in His Return

As the header says, Lionel Messi was impressive in his return after not having played since November as he nursed his injury. On Wednesday night, Messi was able to make two goals within four minutes as Barcelona defeated Getafe 4-0.

The first goal came at the 89th minute in somewhat a lucky fashion as the ball deflected off a defender and into the feet of Messi, in which he proceeded to  kick into the goal. The second goal was more impressive as fans got to see the Messi of old as he dribbled past a defender to get close to the box and kicked the ball in with ease.

Soccer: USA Qualifies for 2014 World Cup

soccer online betting

After defeating Mexico with a score of 2-0, the USA team only had to wait for the result of the match between Honduras and against Panama for them to find out if they qualify for the World Cup next year in Brazil. It is kind of queer how their fate was tied to a match they weren't playing in. However, the resulting draw between the other match sealed their qualification for the next World Cup.

The two goals for the US came from Eddie Johnson and Landon Donovan and the victory  will allow the team to make their 7th consecutive world cup.

The USA isn't the only recent team earning a spot for Brazil next summer. Italy was also able to qualify by defeating Czech Republic with a score of 2-1. Despite what the score might suggest, the Italians actually had a rough time in the match. The Czechs were the first to score and it wasn't after the halftime break that Italy started to roll. Giorgio Chiellini and Mario Balotelli scored the goals for Italy while Libor Kozak scored the sole goal for Czech Republic.
