Chile won easily, according to reports, over Israel in late nights International friendly against a B-sided Israel in the mist of Concepción. Chile controlled the game and could early score by Suazo in the 19th minute. By halftime Suazo and Valdivia were substituted but Sanchez was still on the pitch and could score the second goal of the game in the 49th minute from outside of the penalty area.

Clubs around the world might do well to seriously consider former New England Revolution players in their coaching searches.
Walter Zenga blazed the trail, guiding Steaua Bucharest to the Romanian title in 2005. The next year, Zenga coached Red Star Belgrade to the Serbia championship.
Last year, three former Revolution players -- Leonel Alvarez, Chiquinho Conde and Mauricio Wright -- coached championship teams in their home countries:
-- Alvarez (Deportivo Independiente Medellin) performed for the Revolution from 1999-2001;
-- Conde, who scored six goals in 17 Revolution appearances in 1997, took over Ferroviario with 13 games remaining in the season and guided it to both the Mozambique cup and league titles;
-- Wright, a Revolution defender in 2000-01, led Brujas FC to the Costa Rica championship.

It's a move that could have far-reaching effects for Spanish football. Atlético Madrid this week became the first Primera Liga club to formally ask the Liga de Fútbol Profesional if they can move all home games to a 12 noon kick off when the second round of matches begins in mid-January. ‘Los Colchoneros' have acted quickly in trying to secure their share of the lucrative Far and Middle Eastern markets, believing the club would double its income if fans in that part of the world were able to see their live games at peak TV viewing time.

Spanish BBVA Primera Liga club Atletico Madrid continues to extend its network of collaborators with the signing of a strategic alliance with the Al Ain, a club from the United Arab Emirates.

Less concerned with this successfully converted penalty trick we see roughly once a year than I am with two things:

i. After watching it several times, I still can't help but root for the keeper to stop it. I see the ball go to his left...and then he goes to the left...and then he reads the shot correctly, goes right.
