Soccer News of the Week
* The January transfer window opens shortly for the world’s top leagues and some high-profile moves are rumored. David Beckham is preparing for a possible move to Paris-St. Germain, Bolton’s Gary Cahill will likely sign with Chelsea and Thierry Henry looks to be heading back to Arsenal for a 2-month loan spell.
* Carlos Ancelotti is the new head coach of Paris-St. Germain. The former AC Milan and Chelsea manager signed a two-and-a-half year deal with the French club, taking over for Antoine Kombouare who left the team on Friday.
* Bleacher Report’s 10 Best Goals of 2011 is worth a look, but the best moment in soccer 2011 was Brazil vs. USA in the Women’s World Cup quarterfinals. After a lackluster 90 minutes, the game went into extra time and suddenly transformed into one of the most exciting games ever, full of the edge-of-your-seat excitement that can only come from Mighty Ducks-like underdog comebacks.
