Silly season has bitten the Philadelphia Union hard, as the international transfer window is set
to close in three days. After apparently shrugging off a Sebastien Le Toux transfer to Bolton
Wanderers, the Union are set to lose team captain Faryd Mondragon.
The 40-year-old is on his way back to Colombia, according to Deportivo Cali's Vice
President.
Cruz Azul 4 – Tachira 0
(Copa Libertadores, Febrero 21, 2012) Adrian Cortes (penalty), Edixon Perea, Javier Orozco y
Emanuel Villa fueron los anotadores del Cruz Azul.
La maquina celeste se tomo en serio la copa Libertadores, la mas importante de America a nivel de
clubes y goleo a los albinegros de Venezuela.
Dorlan Pabón just summoned the spirit of Roberto Carlos.
You all remember that Roberto Carlos free kick? Well Dorlan Pabón just emulated that with a
masterful strike for Atlético Nacional vs. Peñarol in Copa Libertadores. Unbelievable curve by
the Colombian. Qué golazo...

Chile's Atletico Nacional vs Uruguay's Penarol, Group 8 of the Copa Libertadores, Atletico
midfielder Dorlan Pabon steps up to hit a direct free-kick from a shade more than 40 yards
out...
Thanks to Pies fan @jespenney for the nudge.
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.
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.
