I guess it was inevitable.

Here's TyC Sports promoting their World Cup 2010 coverage doing a play on words with the derogatory term that Maradona used towards a reporter during the now infamous Uruguay press conference.

Gaby Milito is finally back on the football field.

Milito played the first 45 minutes in Barcelona's friendly yesterday against FC Bolivar.

It's been a long road back for Milito. He's been sidelined for 569 days since injuring his right knee in a Champions League game against Manchester United.

Argentina and Uruguay have started their campaign to host the 2030 World Cup.

2030 will be the 100th anniversary of the first World Cup in which Argentina and Uruguay played in the Final.

The bid to host the World Cup has already been presented to Joseph Blatter and he is reportedly very pleased with Argentina & Uruguay as co-hosts and with the idea that the 100th anniversary of the World Cup should be celebrated where it first took place.

The great Alfredo Di Stéfano was honored by the Argentine government with the title of Argentina Sports Ambassador.

The ceremony took place in Madrid. Julio Grondona spoke and presented Di Stéfano with an Argentina shirt autographed by all the current national team players.

For many years Carlos Bilardo campaigned for his players from the 1986 World Cup to be brought as managers to all levels of the national team. These players who eventually became managers are refered to by the Argentine media as the "86 Generation".

Players like Jorge Luis Burruchaga, Hector Enrique, Sergio Batista, Jose Luis Brown, Nery Pumpido, Oscar Garre, Julio Olarticochea.

Lio Messi won the Onze d'Or award given by French football magazine Onze Mondial.

Messi was honored by the magazine as the best player in 2009.

Another day, another award for Messi.

According to a report released by IMScouting, el Kun Aguero is the most expensive U-21 forward in Europe.

Aguero's current transfer market value is 45 million euros.

Pipita Higuain and his Madrid teammate Karim Benzema are in second place with a transfer market value of 35 million euros each.

A meaningless two month suspension and a fine of $25,000.00.

It's always good to have friends in high places.
