Diego Forlan - Blues better for Aguero

Diego Forlan believes former Atletico Madrid team-mate Sergio Aguero should have joined Chelsea rather than Manchester City.

Argentina ace Aguero left the Vicente Calderon for City earlier this week in a £38million deal after being linked with a string of Europe's leading clubs.
Forlan wishes the 23-year-old well but believes he would have been better off holding out for a move to Andre Villas Boas' Blues instead.
"It was no real surprise to see him leave, but I thought it would have been to a different club," the former Manchester United forward told The People.

"Chelsea's game and squad are more suited to his style.

"And of course I am a Manchester United fan, so his decision to move to City is also painful for me."

Forlan also offers a note of caution for Aguero, having struggled to make an impact himself at United before hitting form in Spain with Villarreal and then Atletico.

The Uruguay ace added: "I know City are now one of the big clubs in England, so I wish Sergio luck.

"But I know from my own time in England that the Premier League is not like La Liga.

"The key for him will be how he adapts to the style of the game and also the country.

"He can be a success because he is a star... he can be a king at any club.

"The best asset of Aguero is the number of goals he scores, and when he scores them. He is a killer and could also destroy many defenders with his dribbles.

"Personally, it is bad news to me because I will now miss a big companion in attack at Atletico.

"He is not the tallest, but that is not a problem, and neither is the hardness of the English defenders.

"I do not know if (Carlos) Tevez will stay at City, but a Tevez-Aguero pairing could be sensational for City. For La Liga, this is all bad news, but for the Premier League, it's a success to have such a player."

WWE News: Did Shawn Michaels Save CM Punk's Job With WWE ?

CM Punk is the hottest property in wrestling today. He became an instant sensation after taking Vince McMahon and WWE to task with his epic promo four weeks ago, and everything worked perfectly at Money In the Bank when he won the WWE championship.

In fact, things are going so well for Punk and WWE right now, though based on the angle on Raw this past Monday that could change in a heartbeat, it's easy to forget just how far Punk has come in the six years that he has been working for WWE.

Punk used to get buried on television and at house shows because he wasn't a "WWE creation." He made his name working for Ring of Honor, and WWE doesn't like people that get any kind of following unless it's on their shows.

Back when Punk first started, there were a lot of people backstage and on the creative team that had it out for him, but there were two people instrumental in getting Punk a real shot with WWE. Paul Heyman, who Punk has mentioned on more than one occasion, and Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels.

According to former WWE writer David Lagana, there were agents who were pushing hard for Punk to be fired. Michaels was in a meeting with the agents and said, "Um, if you don’t like something the kid is doing, why don’t you work with him to fix it, instead of killing him.”

All that I have to say is thank God there are practical people like Shawn Michaels, who understands the value of someone like Punk and has the power backstage that people will listen to.

As we all saw with Money In the Bank, Punk is capable of great things in WWE. He just needs to be given the opportunity to be great.

Luis Suárez and Diego Forlán shoot Uruguay to record 15th Copa América

Diego Forlán scored twice and Luis Suárez once as Uruguay beat Paraguay to be crowned South America champions for a record 15th time. Paraguay ran out of luck at the Copa América where they went five straight matches without a victory before reaching the final.

Suárez gave Uruguay the lead early in a match they dominated. Receiving a pass in the penalty area, the Liverpool forward scored with a deflected left-footed shot that went in off the far post behind the Paraguay goalkeeper Justo Villar.

Forlán, who was voted the best player at last year's World Cup, made it 2-0 by lashing home a left-footed shot from 12 yards. He was set up after team-mate Egidio Arévalo Rios had stolen the ball from a Paraguay player in midfield. The Atlético Madrid striker had not scored in his 12 previous matches for the national team.

Sebastián Eguren almost scored in the 74th minute but was foiled when Villar stuck out his left arm with the ball heading for the net.

Forlán notched the final goal in the last minute, taking a pass from Suárez and firing into the far corner. "We played as a group," said Suárez, who was named player of the tournament. "I think when groups are united like this, everyone together and going for the same thing, you can get things done.

"The important thing was getting started well," said the scorer of four goals in the tournament, one fewer than Peru's Paolo Guerrero. "With two goals in the first half, I think it was very difficult for them to come back."

Forlán, who won a record 82nd cap for Uruguay, equalled the national record of 31 goals held by Hector Scarone.

Paraguay, who seldom threatened, played without their injured forward Roque Santa Cruz and winger Aureliano Torres. The Paraguay coach Gerardo Martino and his assistant Jorge Pautasso were suspended from the match after being sent off for repeatedly arguing with the referee in last Wednesday's victory over Venezuela – Paraguay advanced from the quarter-finals and semi-finals on penalties.

The victory gave Uruguay their first Copa América title since 1995. The small country of 3.5 million also reached the World Cup semi-finals a year ago, surpassing the performance of Brazil and Argentina.

Uruguay's squad featured 20 of the 23 players they took to the World Cup. They showed teamwork and unselfish play despite possessing none of the star power of their bigger rivals.

The two continental giants were upset in the quarter-finals when Uruguay ousted Argentina on penalties and Paraguay eliminated Brazil, who had won four of the past five titles. Martino, an Argentinian, is regarded as a leading contender to take over the Argentina team.
