The weekly podcast is out - we look at the phrase 'literally', check out what's happening in
Argentina and lots more.
Lanús and champions Boca Juniors both began their 2012 Torneo Clausura title campaigns on Friday
night, the opening evening of the new championship in Argentina. Both won: Boca beat Olimpo de
Bahía Blanca 2-0 in La Bombonera, Darío Cvitanich and ... Continue reading →
Time for a spot of Argentinian football - we feature a preview of the clausura season
Real Madrid wants Robin Van Persie. Look at my face: I am not happy right now.
Rather than just writing one opinion piece, I typically try to gather as much information from
around the World Wide Web and condense it with my own commentary added. This week we've got Real
Madrid pursuing Van Persie, Mourinho gunning for Arsene's job, Kieran Gibbs returns from a long
layoff to strengthen the defense, and a hobbled Jack Wilshere all torn up about England's national
team losing its coach just months before the Euro 2012.
Five-time Argentine champions Club Atlético Newell's Old Boys, usually called Newell's Old Boys or
Newell's, is a sports club from Rosario, Santa Fe Province Argentina. The club was founded on...
I find this hilariously funny!
David Beckham got sent off from a youth soccer match:
"It was the younger kids of Romeo's club, and they're playing in the game and there was a
penalty given. And the kids are 7 years old and he sent the kid off." After that, Beckham, who has
seen his share of red cards in his career (including a crucial one in a World Cup match against
Argentina in 1998), did what so many parents of youth soccer players have done — he opened his
mouth.
07.02.2012 - Por estas horas, en la calle Viamonte, el Comité Ejecutivo está tratando el
tema de la denominación del inminente Torneo Clausura 2012. En momentos de creciente tensión
diplomática entre Argentina e Inglaterra por la soberanía de las Islas Malvinas (tomadas por
ingleses en 1833), a minutos del anunciado decreto presidencial sobre la
apertura del Informe
Rattenbach y a pocos días del 30º aniversario del inicio de la guerra de 1982, la
proposición del gobierno argentino a la AFA es el nombre de
"Crucero General Belgrano".

Una de las camisetas mas cotizadas en la actualidad es la de Brasil ,el país que albergara la
siguiente copa mundial en el año 2014. Casi nadie habla de Ronaldinho quien alguna vez fue
considerado el mejor del mundo, ahora su figura naciente es quien modelo la camiseta brasileña
Neymar junto a su compañero en Santos Ganso.
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Naturally, I'm describing Arsenal's
2011-2012 season. I'm a nice guy, and I don't want to hold Arsene wholly accountable for the team's
woes, particularly due to the simple fact that, well, that's what everybody else already does.
Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton has revealed who he thinks the best player in the
world is and it's not a former United great. While many Manchester United fans still name Cristiano
Ronaldo as the best and most complete player in the world, Charlton has hailed the qualities of
Barcelona's Lionel Messi.
Fan violence in football can pave the way for devastating consequences sometimes and this was
exactly what happened in Egypt last night. At least 73 people
were killed after Al-Masry defeated Al-Ahly 3-1 at the Cairo stadium with more than
1,000 injured in the stampede.
Atletico Madrid's revival under new coach Diego Simeone continued on Monday as Diego Godin fired
the winner in a battling 1-0 victory at Osasuna that lifted Atletico up to seventh in La Liga.
The Uruguay defender bundled in from close range at a corner just before the break and forwards
Adrian and Radamel Falcao missed gilt-edged chances to extend the lead.

U.S. could host the 2016 Copa America
For those unfamiliar, this is the big "New World" competition with 10 CONMEBOL (South American)
and 6 CONCACAF teams competing for one big trophy.
It's pretty much the next best thing for a national team to get (World Cup being the first,
obviously) and it would be a great opportunity to see the USA compete against the likes of Brazil
and Argentina.
27.01.2012 - "Estoy feliz, visto todo lo que ha ocurrido. Al
final ha llegado el premio de poder entrar en este gran equipo", dijo Maxi López ni bien

TIME COVER: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH LIONEL MESSI
This week's
international edition of TIME features football star Lionel Messi on the cover with the title,
"King Leo." In an exclusive interview with TIME's Bobby Ghosh, the Argentina native and FC
Barcelona superstar speaks to TIME about handling criticism from his fellow countrymen and how he
still has room to improve his unreal skills.
Milan transfer guru Adriano Galliani definitely knows how to work a bargain. Since 1986, when he
started his long and prosperous career at the Via Turati, the man known as Uncle Fester has been
the man behind the scenes. The one who has engineered deals that have seen so many of the world's
best players [.

"One of the players who was my idol when I was a boy was Michael Owen," he said.
"He was quite small and had an eye for goal, just like me.

Feliz Sabado! If you haven't heard of 'Cuando Messi', you've gotta get
with the program right away. Yesterday (for the most part), most of the football fraternity was up
in arms over something Pele said :
"When Messi has scored 1,283 goals and won three World Cups, then we will
talk.
Jorge Urdiales, presidente ejecutivo de los Rayados del Monterrey, dejó en claro que hasta el
momento no hay ofertas de otros clubes por Humberto Suazo y descartó toda posibilidad de que el
chileno pueda ser relegado al equipo Sub-20.
"No me explico a quién se le pudo ocurrir que Humberto si no juega con el primer equipo, juega con
la Sub-20, empezaron a filtrar ese comentario y me parece que está fuera de lugar", aseveró.
La selección absoluta de España conservó el primer lugar en el ranking mundial divulgado hoy por
la Federación Internacional de Fútbol.
Los ibéricos, vigentes monarcas del orbe y de Europa, continúan al frente de la clasificación
con 1564 puntos, casi 200 por delante de su escolta Holanda, subcampeón en la Copa del Mundo

New York-area soccer fans are in for a summer treat.
Brazil and Argentina will square off in a June 9 friendly at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford,
N.J., pitting the two South American rivals and some of the top players in the world against each
other. The date falls on a FIFA international fixture date, meaning that first-choice players like
Lionel Messi and Neymar should be available for selection, though that is far from being a
certainty at this point.
