16.05.2011 - La localía,
el blooper de Carrizo,
el gol de Palermo,
la
expulsión de Almeyda,
los afiches, el promedio de Ríver, el arbitraje de Loustau, el
periodismo de lunes y más burbujas terminan conformando la historia: cielo para uno (Boca),
infierno para otro (Ríver).

The first soccer jersey I purchased was as stereotypical as it was ill-advised. Like most
barely-adolescent Americans attracted to football in the early 2000s, I faced the difficult task of
keeping abreast of a sport in a country where domestic media coverage began and ended with blooper
reels.
22.05.2011 - Después del
blooper que le abriera el partido a Boca en la Bombonera,
Carrizo hizo posible el empate (1-1) de San Lorenzo en el Monumental. Ríver, que sólo con una
victoria salía de
Promoción, ganaba (1-0) y nada parecía torcer el rumbo hasta que
Carrizo.
Watch Bouna Condoul fumble a run of the mill grab of a corner and gift the ball to Ryan
Stephenson for San Jose Earthquakes equalizer. Last weekend he was similarly embarrassed when he
completely flubbed Marco Pappa's soft shot on goal.
Condoul's horrifically incompetent goalkeeping is a seamless transition from his predecessor
Greg Sutton's equally inept performance.
13.04.2011 - Con gol de
Cristiano Ronaldo (´49), en colaboración con
Gomes
(Heurelho Da Silva Gomes), Real Madrid venció (0-1) como visitante a Tottenham Hotspur en
White Hart Lane y pasó (luego de 8 años) a semifinales de la UEFA Champions League con un global
de 5-0.
15.05.2011 - Con goles de
Juan Pablo Carrizo en contra (´28) y
Martín
Palermo (´30), Boca se impuso (2-0) a Ríver en la Bombonera y lo dejó en la cornisa de la
promoción.
Ríver, con iniciativa y más conjugación, jugaba mejor que un Boca inconexo e insunuaba. Pero dos
minutos fatales condenaron las intenciones de Ríver: un córner llegó al área de Carrizo y este,
en un
blooper poco olvidable, produjo la apertura del partido (1-0).
Rosana's 54th minute goal really should not have been. The Matildas were guilty of indulging the
Brazilians entry into their box. They had at least three chances to clear or muscle them off the
ball. Be that as it may, when the moment came Rosana niftily flicked the ball onto her left side
creating a clear path to goal and her volley had both power and direction carrying it away from
Melissa Barbieri.

Brasilero, brasilero...
En el otro cruce final por el Grupo B, Brasil enfrentaba a Ecuador en busca de la
clasificación.
El partido comenzaba con un Ecuador que movía la pelota ordenadamente y tocaba frente a un Brasil
que intentaba proponer lo mismo, juego prolijo.
In less than 72 hours, Anfield will be host to an epic Barclays Premier League battle that has
drawn fierce passion from all corners of the globe.
While Sir Alex Ferguson has toppled the Kop off it's perch by clinching Manchester United's
nineteenth EPL title, the fire will not burn any less stronger when England's two most successful
clubs clash heads at Merseyside.
Barcelona will be without striker David Villa for at least 6 moinths after the striker broke his
leg in Barcelona's 4-0 rout over Al-Sadd in the World Club Cup semi-finals today. There was no dirt
in the tackle which seen Villa unleash a shot under pressure from a defender before both took a
tumble and Villa immediately signalled to the bench he was injured, eventually being stretchered
off with his side leading 1-0 thanks to a major blooper from the opposing keeper let in adriano for
his first of two goals.
