Apenas es lunes y ya se prendió la lumbre en Coapa, algunos cambiaron las
caras que tenían el fin de semana por haber ganado al hermano en casa y asegurar
un poco la continuidad en el club otros seis meses entrando en liguilla.
Los rumores empiezan con el DT, ya que hay dos corrientes dentro de Coapa una
que quieren que prosiga la directiva actual con Chucho Ramírez al mando,
corriente que al parecer esta encabezada por el Sr.

The most important club competition in South America is of course the Copa Libertadores and this
year is a particularly important one as it is the 50th edition of this prestigious tournament.
Las Águilas del América están en la etapa de reestructuración y buscan
jugadores que apuntalen la zona más débil del equipo la temporada pasada: La
defensa.
En estas semanas donde la liguilla de nuestro fútbol ha estado en su apogeo, la directiva
azulcrema se ha puesto a trabajar y entre los nombres que suenan para darle forma a la defensiva
están Aquivaldo Mosquera quien actualmente juega en el Sevilla de
España, Paulo da Silva que no tiene contrato con Toluca
pero que tiene los ojos puestos en Europa y Claudio Morel que es jugador de
Boca Jrs y seleccionado de Paraguay.
Se viene el Apertura 2009 en el fútbol mexicano, por lo que todos los equipos
están listos para emprender la carrera rumbo al campeonato.
Es por eso que aquí les dejo los cinco jugadores extranjeros que deben seguir para este torneo,
ya que ha llegado a nuestro país con ganas de crecer y darles alegrías a sus respectivos
equipos.
Finally the day is here, USA vs Trinidad. Big game for the USA, they need to win to help them
finish in the top three so they won't have to play a play in match vs maybe Argentina. Here is the
lineup;
----------------Davies--------Altidore-----------
Donovan--------------------------------Dempsey
-----------------Bradley-----Clark---------------
Bornstein----Bocanegra---Onyewu----Spector
-----------------------Howard--------------------
Big suprises here is Clark partnering Bradley Jr.
Ins and outs for the two giants of Argentine football: champions Boca Juniors appear to have lost
Neri Cardozo against their wishes, whilst new River Plate manager Néstor Gorosito is on
the verge of making his first signing, Colombian centre back Humberto Mendoza. Independiente have
some good news: Daniel Montenegro isn't going anywhere.
"Está hecho", publica la Gazzetta dello Sport. "Sólo falta la firma",
anuncia Pierpaolo Marino, director general del Nápoles. Y es que, tras varios meses en los que
varios clubes europeos, como Southampton o Mallorca, se interesaron por él, Jesús Datolo
parece que por fin viajará al viejo continente para enrolarse en uno de los campeonatos [.
Con un empate de 1-1 iniciaron los Dorados sus partidos de
preparación ´previos al torneo de apertura 2009 de la Liga de Ascenso, su contrincante lo fueron
los Murciélagos de Guamúchil de la segunda división quienes no se intimidaron y le jugaron al
tú por tú a los Dorados.
El partido se celebró este sábado por la noche en el "Coloso del
Dique" de la Ciudad de Guamúchil como parte de los festejos del primer aniversario del equipo
Murciélagos.

The Boca boys didn't have much to do yesterday (apart from their laundry, etc) since the AFA
postponed the start of the Apertura. So it was only natural that Javier
García, Lucas Viatri, Ricardo Noir and Juan Forlin turned up at the infamous DOT shopping
centre in Buenos Aires to reveal Los Xeneizes' new kit.

Matías Omar Pérez (Danubio)20.07.1985
El lateral izquierdo uruguayo fue el primer refuerzo confirmado del Arse para la temporada
2009-2010. Cuenta con el visto bueno de Burruchaga y ocupará la plaza dejada por Christian Díaz,
quien se desvinculó del club. Pérez tiene 23 años, se formó y debutó en Peñarol, pero ha
realizado gran parte de su carrera en Danubio.
Boca Juniors' squad took off for Europe on Sunday in readiness to take part in the Audi Cup in
Munich (their first match is on Wednesday against Manchester United), but over the weekend there
have already been some Argentine clubs and players in pre-season action. River Plate beat Everton
thanks to a great Ariel Ortega [.
Manchester United will join Boca Juniors, AC Milan and Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup, a two-day
competition held at Munich's Allianz Arena to commemorate Audi's 100 anniversary. United will meet
Boca, Carlos Tevez's former club, on July 29th. While Milan take-on Bayern the same day. The
winners will play each other in the final on [.
Boca Juniors' goalkeeping crisis should shortly be put to bed after it was confirmed on Thursday
that they've agreed a fee with Spanish side Getafe to buy Roberto Abbondanzieri back. The Xeneize
will pay €300,000 to the Madrid club for their former custodian. Abbondanzieri, for his part,
had already pleaded with both sides to strike a [.
Manchester United will join Boca Juniors, AC Milan and Bayern Munich in the Audi Cup, a two-day

United will meet Boca, Carlos Tevez's former club, on July 29th. While Milan take-on Bayern the
same day. The winners will play each other in the final on July 30th.
Shockwaves rocked South American football on Wednesday night as, almost unimaginably, an Argentine
club actually got through to the knockout stages of this year's competition (I know what some
readers are bound to say, but Boca's place in the last 16 isn't 100% secure quite yet). A 0-0 draw
with Universitario de Sucre proved enough, [.
It's crunch time as the most difficult stretch of world cup qualifying games so far for the US
approaches. The fitness of many players will be called into question as many players arrive late
right after playing for their clubs. Maurice Edu and Frankie Hejduk are set to miss these games for
their clubs due to injury -but that doesn't bode well for the US.
Back to the league after the thrills and spills of the international break. Three matches remain,
and this weekend the endgame gets going with two clásicos on Sunday one in La Bombonera, where San
Lorenzo will be the 'home' side, and one in Avellaneda between Racing and Boca. The clash between
River and Tigre [.
Well, the team with the better hair won.
Yes, we're still holding a grudge against Cesc Fabregas's barber. He hurt our feelings.
Never mind. Did you catch the first Confederations Cup semi final? It was a truly cracking game,
with the US NT bagging a big 2-0 win over Spain.
After the finalísima comes the rather more mundane business of recording the scores from the final
round of the 2009 Torneo Clausura. Vélez took the title and Gimnasia de Jujuy and San Martín de
Tucumán both go down, as we already know, but elsewhere there were wins for Boca and San Lorenzo,
one last humiliation [.
Este 8 de enero se cumplen 5 años de la muerte del querido Garrafa Sánchez. Como recuerdo,
esta entrevista de hace 10 años en El Gráfico:
Talentoso, impulsivo y atorrante cabal, Garrafa es uno de los grandes personajes del ascenso
y el niño mimado de la hinchada de Banfield.
35-years-old and having given a good few years' service to Boca Juniors, Hugo Ibarra left the club
on Thursday after failing to come to an agreement over the new contract deal he'd been offered.
Where he'll end up remains to be seen, but the outpouring of thanks from the fans to El Negro has
been [..
That was quick. Apparently if you want a contract extension at Boca Juniors then the way you get it
is by announcing you're leaving the club, and then turning up again at the Casa Amarilla the next
day to see what the response is. As a result of this strategy, Hugo Ibarra will now spend [...]
Let's start off with a crazy one:
- Landon Donovan and Sao Paulo?
- The big news is Real's successful move for Xabi Alonso.
- Lescott has asked for a City move.
- Arsenal closer to Salomon Kalou.
- Another American signs with Everton.
- Boca says hands off Riquelme.
Esta tarde, todos los futboleros empedernidos, y los no tanto, esperabamos con ansias la gala de la
UEFA. Se han entregado los premios individuales a los mejores jugadores de la Champions y se ha
realizado el sorteo de los grupos clasificatorios para las rondas finales de la competición.
Para abrir boca los galardonados:
Van der Sar.
- The Dinho's bro and agent, Roberto de Assis is annoyed that
you think his bro is a Has Been and should be banished from the seleção forever. This
comes after the newspaper Sport alleged last week that the Brazilian is planning to
retire.
In an interview with TyC Sports, Inter defender Walter Samuel said the
following:
"I have the hope that I will return to the national team. One has to show their form with their
club team and then you'll see."
"I'm happy because I'm playing regularly which is something that didn't happen last season
because of injuries.
Champions League action dominates the news, but sending offs in Argentina, a new shirt for
Manchester United and more fan violence all make this week's Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Good
Podolski scores It was good again for English clubs in the Champions League as all four
representatives go through to the quarter finals, but perhaps that's [.

It has been confirmed that this summer United will compete in the Audi Cup 2009, to take place
in the Allianz Arena. The tournament will take place over two days from July 29, with Boca Juniors,
AC Milan and obviously Bayern Munich the other participating teams.
United will play Boca and Bayern will play Barca in the Semi-Finals on July 29.
Ya era hora que fuéramos nutriendo la sección de estadios con historia del blog. En esta ocasión
y, sí, directamente relacionado con la última jornada de clasificación mundialista en
Sudamérica, el turno es para el polémico estadio Hernando Siles.
Siempre que Brasil o Argentina visita el estadio situado en La Paz nace el mismo debate ¿es justo
disputar partidos a alturas extremas como las que hay en La Paz (casi 3600 metros por encima del
nivel del mar)?
VS.
It is the most intense rivalry in the world of football and probably the best rivalry in all of
sports. Regardless of the standings this match will determine the bragging rights of Argentine
football. Here are some factoids about this great rivalry:

A few important house notes before this long holiday weekend (Memorial Day in the United States,
and a Bank Holiday in the United Kingdom):
- The latest episode of the highly-recommended Soccerlens Podcast, hosted by
Stephen Darwin, features an interview with yours truly about the final weekend of the Premier
League, my predictions on how are going to get relegated, what team will give Man United a run for
the money next season, what position Liverpool needs to fill to have a strong chance of winning the
league next year, and much more.
Now that the 2008-2009 Premier League season is over, it's time to take care of some business.
Namely announcing the winners of the Premier Fantasy League (EPL Talk private league), the winners
of the two I Know The Score (IKTS) leagues and a look at how well you, the readers, and I did in
our predictions for the final 2008-09 Premier League table.
Who will manage him next season?
Clarin has the countdown (In Spanish). Carlos Ischia leaves after the Clausura ends. Eleven
candidates have been shortlisted to replace him. The money is on Alfio Basile since Carlos Bianchi
has a clause that says that he will never succeed Ischia.
The end of the European season has brought with it the usual spate of embryonic transfer rumours,
so since there's no Argentines Abroad this week, let's take a (very) quick look at some of them to
give you a bit of reading matter today, shall we? Boca Juniors have had a few offers for players,
