Champions League Group Stage last game 2009-2010
Should Michael Owen go to South Africa World Cup?
Last night, Manchester United have secured first place in their Champions League group thanks to Michael Owen who scored a hat-trick.
The game ended 1-3 which meant Wolsburg will make bags for Europa League.
With this performance Owen rewarded Ferguson for the chance he gave him last summer when he signed him.
Owen was supposed to be a backup for Rooney and Berbatov at Manchester United but with performances like this he could very well start more regularly at Old Trafford and why not he could reenter in England team for next year World Cup.
Sir Alex Ferguson declared that he is happy with Owen’s performances and backed him for England squad: “Michael is one of the best strikers in the last third of the field in terms of his movement, his positional play and also in terms of his finishing”.
Although, Owen is not any more that feared striker but definitely he still has more to show and would be a pity to not remain in football elite.

Can Vargas emulate Roberto Carlos performances at Real Madrid?
Latest reports from Spain are suggesting that the next target for Real Madrid is Fiorentina‘s versatile Peruvian Juan Manuel Vargas.
The Spanish giants have spent over €250 millions last summer when they brought in players like Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema or Xabi Alonso to Bernabeu but it looks like they wont stop here.
Real Madrid failed to find a replacement for Roberto Carlos since he left Madrid in 2007. Heinze, Marcelo and Drenthe all failed to establish themselves as regular holders for the left back position which has led Real looking for another solution.
Vargas seems to be the perfect solution and an offer of around €20 million could convince Fiorentina to let their star go. Vargas was compared with Roberto Carlos by the time he was still in Catania because of his free-kicks and left band crosses.
Vargas arrived at Fiorentina in 2008 for a sum of around €12 millions.
Vargas started as a left-back at Fiorentina but this season he played in a more attacking position. Looks like this change was good for the Peruvian who scored 2 goals and was named man of the match on a few occasions.
