Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez may have missed two quality chances, but he came through in the
clutch to give Mexico another friendly win on Thursday.
Hernandez made up for two missed shots in the 80th minute by scoring a winner in stoppage time
of a 2-1 victory over Bosnia-Herzegovina at Solder FIeld in Chicago, Ill.

Madrid, 25 may (EFE).- Un inicio imparable del
Barcelona, con tres goles en 25
minutos, dos de Pedro Rodríguez y uno del argentino
Lionel Messi , decidieron con
rapidez el título de la Copa del Rey entre el equipo azulgrana y el Athletic, sin opción durante
todo el duelo y sin consuelo con su segunda final perdida en apenas quince días.
TweetBayern Munich defender Philip Lahm has branded John Terry's actions at the Camp Nou against
Barcelona as irresponsible of a captain. Terry was shown a straight red card after being caught
kneeing Barcelona striker Alexis Sanchez during the Blues' UEFA Champions League second-leg semi
final clash at the Camp Nou.
They may be ruled out of tonight's match against Malaga due to injuries and feeling sad about
Guardiola's departure but Pique and Alexis Sanchez aren't going to let it get to them. Chin up! /

AAAAHHHHHHHH I AM ARTUR BORUC AND THIS IS A LIST OF THINGS THAT MADE ME ANGRY THIS WEEK:
1. MY HAIR -- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I TENSED ALL OF MY MUSCLES AT THE SAME TIME AND SHOT EVERY HAIR ON
MY HEAD INTO THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DEAL WITH THAT ALIENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DEAL WITH
IT!
Sometimes it is much easier to watch football when you have no stake in the game. With
Manchester United exiting Europe this season in glorious mediocrity about 400 months ago, all the
European matches since have been really good fun. And they have all built up quite beautifully
indeed to semi-final week; so beautifully in fact that you worry if the finals themselves will be
slightly anti-climactic compared to these games.
The idiocy of John Terry, it's not something we've yet discussed around these parts. Neither
have we got around to recapping one of the greatest nights in Chelsea history. It's not because we
couldn't be bothered; more like, we haven't had the time, what with me slammed at the office and
Devin trying to shake off an illness (get better, trick).
Just a day after their heroic triumph over Barcelona in the Champions League semi final and
voices of sympathy for Chelsea skipper John Terry can be heard. Fellow team mate Frank Lampard has
expressed his desire to let Chelsea captain John Terry have the honour to lift the trophy should
they overcome Bayern Munich in the May 19th final.
If you don't like John Terry, then prepare to root for Chelsea in the Champions League final.
The Chelsea captain was shown a straight red card after giving Alexis Sanchez a knee to the
backside in the 37th minute of their Champions League semifinal second leg match against Barcelona.
Though it pushed Chelsea towards certain doom, the rest of the team kept their focus and beat
Barcelona to earn a place in the final.
April 24th 2012: After 37 minutes in Chelsea's Champions League semi-final at the Nou Camp,
Terry was sent off for kneeing Alexis Sanchez in the back off the ball. From the dressing room,
Terry preposterously claimed: "The player checked his run and piled into the back of me. He put
his weight on the back foot, that's why my knee went up.
Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has voiced his frustration at the manner in which Barcelona
forward Alexis Sanchez convinced the referee's assistant to issue a red car to Blues captain John
Terry at Camp Nou last night.
Terry was sent off in the 37th minute of Chelsea's 2-2 draw (a 3-2 win on aggregate) for kneeing
Sanchez when both players were off the ball.
For the longest time, they labelled Fernando the £50 million flop. "Give him a ball, they said,
"and he'll show you his mop!" But over the weeks, old Torres remained the same Till yesterday, when
football returned to the Beautiful Game Pique, Messi, Alexis and Iniesta, they all tried None could
break through when Ramires took flight And in the 81st minute, when Torres came on, Chelsea began
to hum a strange song An hour of combing his blonde mane Had left the poor Spaniard quite insane,
But who's to say what money can buy?
TweetChelsea captain John Terry has apologized for his sending off against Barcelona after kneeing
Alexis Sanchez in the first half. Terry is now set to miss the final in Munich after being shown a
straight red-card in the 37th minute after he unashamedly kneed Barca striker Alexis Sanchez.
"Sanchez was darting in behind me at [.
Barca bottled it. . They needed a 2-0 and they got it. . Then, If they had to choose one player of
Chelsea to send off they would've unanimously chosen Terry - and he got sent off for that idiotic
knee to Alexis' back. Chelsea not only played with 10 men, they played without their captain and
for Chelsea in particular, that's a big thing.
24.04.2012 - Con goles de
Ramires (´45) y
Torres (´90), Chelsea le empató
(2-2) a Barcelona (
Busquets ´34,
Iniesta ´42) en el Camp Nou y, después de ganarle
(1-0) en Inglaterra, lo eliminó de la Champions League para consagrarse como primer
finalista.
Where do I start on one of the greatest nights of our history considering the circumstances. Up
against it before the game, written off and with members of the press and media thinking that
Barcelona just needed to turn up to win the game, Chelsea produced a performance that is right up
there with the best of them.
El fútbol no perdona al BarçaEl Barça no podrá revalidar su título de campeón de Europa. Cayó ante un equipo inferior como
el Chelsea, que se alió con la diosa fortuna para lograr un milagro. Estuvo eliminado pero
remontó con uno menos de manera increíble e inesperada.
Barcelona's bad run still continue this midweek as they once gain said goodbye to one of their
trophies target after failing to overcome Chelsea in front of their packed house at Camp Now.
Seeking at least two goals to overturn their 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge, Guardiola's team
pretty much failed badly as they only managed to get a 2-2 draw, despite the fact that the Blues
were playing with only 10-men for the larger part of the game.
La Champions despide al Barcelona de forma cruel, castigado por un cúmulo de desgracias en
esta semifinal unidireccional contra el Chelsea más defensivo que se recuerda. Múnich no le
quería si se atiende a todo lo que pasó en Stamford Bridge y, sobre todo, ayer en el Camp Nou,
precioso escenario que acabó deprimido porque este año no será tan bueno.
Roberto Di Matteo's Chelsea continue to surprise everyone as they managed to overcome Barcelon'a
attacking wave and grabbing a ticket into the final without picking up any defeat in two leg of
Champions League semifinal.
After beating the defending champions 1-0 at Stamford Bridge, the Blues' bravery was displayed
again at Camp Nou as they successfully held Pep Guardiola's men into a 2-2 draw, despite playing
with 10 men for a large part of the game.
A mere two minutes after Barcelona's barrage of shots resulted in the first goal of their
Champions League second leg against Chelsea, John Terry decided to give Alexis Sanchez a knee up
the backside and was promptly shown a red card.
You can debate whether Terry deserved to be sent off instead of just shown a yellow for his act,
but one way to help ensure you don't get sent off for something stupid is by, you know, not doing
something stupid.
Chelsea's Champions League dreams appeared to have unraveled completely after captain John Terry
was sent-off for this knee into the back of Barcelona's Alexis Sanchez. In a moment of madness, JT
stuck his knee into the Chilean in an off-the-ball incident. It was soft, but it was violent and it
was spotted by the linesman.
Barcelona's disappointing loss to Real Madrid was a result of a number of factors which went
against the Catalans. No doubt Real's players and coach Jose Mourinho deserve credit for properly
implementing the plan to contain Lionel Messi and for using the perfect tactics to neutralize
Barca's other key players such as Xavi and Andres Iniesta.
In an ideal world, there would be only two football clubs in Spain. They will both go around the
country and play in 20 grounds every season, but they will always only play each other. That way,
the other teams don't have to all exert the energy and pressure of playing each other in a
meaningless fight for 3rd and below, or play one of these two teams and get hearts and souls
crushed.
21.04.2012 - Con goles de
Khedira (´16) y
Cristiano Ronaldo (´73), Real
Madrid venció (1-2) a Barcelona (Alexis sanchez ´67) en el Camp Nou y se despega en la Liga a 7
puntos a falta de cuatro fechas.
Fue una final (adelantada) y, finalmente, después de 20 meses y 7 derbys, cayó Barcelona en casa:
Real Madrid rompió el maleficio y conjuró la sombra catalana en su propio estadio para festejar
un título de alta congratulación.
A second half Cristiano Ronaldo goal was the difference as Real Madrid defeated Barcelona in
another edition of the El Clasico.
The match started out with Real Madrid getting the better chances and able to take an early
lead. The goal was scored by Sami Khedira in the 17th minute as he pounced on a rebound in front of
goal before Carlos Puyol could clear it.

No matter what you've heard from this morning, the real protagonist of Chelsea's
almost inconceivable 1-0 victory over Barcelona last night was Roberto di Matteo.
That's right it wasn't goalscorer Drogba or his provider Ramires
although they do deserve credit for their commandeering efforts alongside Ivanovic
and Cahill, who prevented Messi from seducing the ball.
Well done, Chelsea. Sorry, but it felt like it needed saying. Barcelona are very good,
transcendentally good (whatever I mean by that they're elite, though, one of the best teams ever).
Chelsea, as we saw at our place, are a creaking, slightly one-dimensional side who have players
famous for their 'do-or-die' attitude (if ever something has held back a nation's football it's
that attitude, that 'our spirit will see us through' 'we'll come up big when it matters' 'oh, we've
let another one in').

El Barcelona fue incapaz de superar el muro defensivo que el Chelsea levantó en Stamford Bridge y
perdió 1-0 en la ida de la semifinal de la Champions League por un solitario gol del marfileño
Didier Drogba en el descuento del primer tiempo.
Barcelona followed Real Madrid's path in the Champions League as just like Jose Mourinho's boys,
the Catalan also got beaten in their first leg meeting against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
It can be considered a bitter defeat for Pep Guardioal's men as despite dominating and creating
lots of chances, they still ends up losing 1-0 through Didier Drogba's only goal.
Roberto Di Matteo's magic touch with Chelsea still work out well for them against Barcelona in
the Champions League as despite being dominated for pretty much the entire match, Di Matteo's boys
grabbed a 1-0 victory at home.
Didier Drogba was once again a decisive actor for the Blues' victory as scored the only goal in
the match, which opened up the London side's chance in getting into the Champions League final.
FC BARCELONA lost 1 - 0 away at Stamford Bridge London, home to English Football Club CHELSEA FC
in the first leg of the semi final of CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. A night in which luck did not follow Barça
as they dominated the match but lost due to missed chances & to a more effective Chelsea FC.
Alexis In fact Chelsea FC did relatively little, but what they did do they did it well.
There is no question about it in my mind - tonight's game is huge!. I personally believe that the
first leg at the Bridge is much more important that the away leg next week because it can either
put us in a strong position or leave us with it all to do at the Nou Camp.
Should Chelsea attack Barcelona tonight and look to score a couple of goals to give us an advantage
or should we remain cautious to make sure we do not concede and hope to score out there where away
goals count double?

Life isn't always easy as your preferred niche blogger that spews sarcastic jokes about a
multinational conglomerate that parades itself as a soccer playing entity. Sometimes, we get ahead
of ourselves. Sometimes, we overreact. Sometimes, we suffer cerebral fatigue. Sometimes, instead of
thinking about the game at hand, we ponder about mathematics and formulas and spend all night
constructing an algorithm for Madrid winning La Liga based on a probably result between Rayo
Vallecano and Levante.
