It has been reported this morning that the German newspaper Bild has revealed that Arsenal have been making enquiries about the Paraguayan international striker Lucas Barrios, who is currently playing at the Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund. The 27 year-old has excellent goalscoring stats in the last few years, having netted 49 goals in just 53 [.

You'll never Walk Alone has always been my favourite football anthem, it reminds me of the wonderful Liverpool teams of the 60′s/70′s and Bill Shankly and the Kop and black and white TV and my first visit to Anfield. It is THE football anthem. Why am I writing about YNWA? Well, because it is Borussia Dortmund's anthem, and I have a feeling that with 80,000 Germans singing and cheering on their young and extremely talented side our boys in Red are going to be feeling very alone.

1. Are Dortmund even better this season?

After a sublime performance against HSV on Friday night, the question has to be asked. Dortmund's quick passing and interchange left HSV bewildered. The return of Kagawa has given fresh verve to Dortmund's attack.

13.07.2011 - Paraguay y Venezuela empataron (3-3) en el Estadio Padre Martearena (Salta) en el partido más goleado, emotivo y extraño de la Copa América 2011.
Invirtiendo los papeles de la teoría, Paraguay enfrentaba a una Venezuela ya clasificada (puntera de grupo) con la necesidad de sumar puntos para seguir en la Copa.

10.07.2011 - Con goles de Jadson (B´38), Santa Cruz (P´54), Haedo Valdez (P´66) y Fred (B´89), Brasil y Paraguay empataron (2-2) en el Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes (Córdoba) por el Grupo B de la Copa América 2011.

Copa America 2011, Cordoba
Brazil 2:2 Paraguay
1-0 Jadson 38', 1-1 Santa Cruz 54', 1-2 Valdez 66', 2-2 Fred 89'.
Group B could be becoming the group of death in this year's Copa America after a third consecutive draw.
Jadson, the Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder, gave Brazil a first-half lead with a long-range effort but a shock was soon on the cards after the break as Roque Santa Cruz equalised for Paraguay and then Nelson Haedo Valdez gave La Albirroja the lead in the 66th minute.

The wonderful thing about the Bundesliga is its unpredictability. You just never know what is going to happen. Witness the remarkable rises of Mainz, Hannover or Nürnberg last season, while teams expected to challenge at the top of the table – Stuttgart, Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg – spent much of the season desperately fighting against relegation.

English speaking BVB fans are on cloud nine. Their German speaking counterparts are on cloud seven. But maybe there's a way to bring the two together for the big party on May 14th. Roman Weidenfeller will volunteer as a translator. A 2-0 victory over Nuremberg clinched Dortmund's seventh German championship and the first title after nine years, thanks to Leverkusen doing, what Leverkusen does best.

15.03.2011 - Imposible caminar por las calles de Floresta sin enterarse de que pertenece a All Boys. Si bien la cancha se enclava en el vecino Monte Castro, los pioneros y los hinchas se siguen identificando con Floresta, cuyas calles, por estas horas, viven el banderazo de cumpleaños.
En un reportaje (La Voz del circulo, agosto 1957, pagina 5), Vicente Cincotta relató su versión sobre los origen del club: "Entre todos nuestros juegos, el fútbol era el que más practicábamos; pero teníamos que hacerlo en algunos baldíos sin equipo adecuado, lo que dejaba insatisfecho nuestro sueño de practicarlo con camiseta y zapatos con tapones -como los jugadores de verdad- y en una verdadera cancha.
