Bend it like Beckham, meet Power it like Pabon.
Colombian side Atletico Nacional sits atop its group in the Copa Libertadores, and the play of
Dorlan Pabon is a big reason why. The 24-year-old Colombian international attacker, who leads the
tournament with six goals, sent a powerful, swerving free kick from more than 40 yards into the
right upper 90 as part of Atletico Nacional's 3-0 victory over Penarol Tuesday night that is worth
at least a few looks.
TweetColombian midfielder Dorlan Pablo sent pulses racing with an amazing 40 yard freekick during
Atletico Nacional's Copa Libertadores group stage win against Penarol. Normally in situations like
this the man standing over the freekick is expected to feed the ball into the so called 'mixer'
where, hopefully, an alert striker will pounce.

While one U.S. national team is fighting for a Gold Cup title, another one starts its quest for
a World Cup crown.

the Czech Republic on Sunday.
Derbies are, by nature, torrid affairs. Some might say the same of most South American games,
which is rather complimentary.
Combine the two and you're in for a barnstorming day of good viewing...from afar.
Colombia, however, just might take the cake: no minors, no identifying team colors.
Close call Players at last week's clash between Colombian sides La Equidad and Atletico Nacional
had a lucky escape after a lightning bolt hit the stadium during the game. Several players were
knocked from their feet or were left clutching their heads. And afterwards the understandable
relief is clear to see!
