Over the course of the 2009 Torneo Apertura, the mantra of fútbol para todos has transmogrified into something meaning that one easily embeddable, easily findable goal video for the whole round has become increasingly hard to find. The closest I can find are the four videos embedded here, which viewed in order will give you [. Click to continue reading...

Al compás de la suerte, es cierto, Central cosechó un punto de mierda.
En nuestra situación el empate no sirve, no vale la pena festejar un empate aunque sea mucho premio por lo que se dio en el campo de juego.
