Just a quick post about another new up and coming star. Brazil's hero of the under-17s south
american cup. His name is Lulinha and he currently plays for Corinthians in Brazil. He's also
attracted the attention of Chelsea with a couple of scouts sent to watch him in league action
impressed with what they saw! [...]
segundo gol de argentina - tiro libre de Riquelme

Kun Aguero que se puso como titular mayor con la albiceleste se estreno anotando gol de cabeza.
Después otro tiro libre de cabeza por parte de Riquelme que aun anotando goles con su selección
tiene la cara triste.
elcome everyone to the coverage of the 2008 Santander Copa Libertadores draw being held in
Asunción, Paraguay. For those of you who will not be able to watch it on TV, stay logged on to Mad

revealed throughout the draw.
Cruzeiro's young forward Marcelo Moreno has been invited to Bolivian National Team. He is a son of
ex-Palmeiras' Brazilian Mauro Martins and Bolivian Ruth Moreno. In his 15 Marcelo debuted in
Oriente Petrolero, but in a year moved to Brazilian Vitoria and has been playing in Brazil since
then.
As Lefties around the world payed their respect today on account of the 40th anniversary of Ernesto
Guevara's death, it doesn't hurt to look at the connection el Che had with soccer. Well before he
met his demise in the little Bolivian village of La Higuera, Guevara not only enjoyed playing
soccer, but rugby as well. During his famous travels through South America, retold in his book "The
What's hot and what's not in the wide world of futbol. At least from this fan's admittedly warped
perspective . . .

Day 4 of the Copa América lowered the goals-per-game average with two rather boring games. Uruguay
beat Bolivia 1-0 without showing much at all. A very uneventful game was decided by an ugly goal by
Sánchez in the second half. Forlán was wasted again, with nobody to feed him good balls, in the
absence of Recoba, who was supposed to start after missing the first game due to an injury.
Jaime looked pretty darn good out there, particularly his burst down the sideline, hurtling
Uruguayans until he was felled by Diogo and nearly setting up an equalizer from distance in the
late going. Though he may not be well-rested on his return to DC, at least he'll be full of
confidence following his contributions to the Bolivian cause. Unfortunately for his nation, but
fortunately for his club, he should be on a plane home before the week is out.
Peru and Uruguay qualified for the QF on Day 7 after drawing their respective games, and their play
confirmed how bad this group was to begin with.
Bolivia didn't do that much and yet clearly deserved to beat Peru, if anything just for its
relative order. Peru was pure chaos for most of the game, having changed its formation and some of
its men (like Villamarín as central back instead of the much more experienced Acasiete) for no
good reason.
Though the altitude ban is still in "place," Sepp Blatter has given the Bolivians permission to
play in La Paz. That's an altitude of 11,811 feet for those keeping score at home. The previous
limits had been 8,202 and 9,842 feet above sea level. But with after a little poking and prodding,
FIFA has chosen not to fight the powerful president of Bolivia.
Venezuela 2007. Hugo Chávez and his opportunity to mix politics and sports, with the whole of
CONMEBOL's authorities sucking up to him. It looks like Maradona will do the honorary kick-off: he
deserves it as the great player he was, I just wish he could shut up when talking about anything
other than soccer.
The groups are incredibly lopsided: the three worst teams from World Cup qualifying (including the
hosts) in Group A, together with Uruguay, who didn't make it to Germany either.
I couldn't watch more than a few minutes at the beginning, so I won't comment on the game itself. I
got to see the goals later, though: very good finish by Maldonado after a mistake by Bolivia in
defense; nice play by Moreno in the box, leading to a deflection on a defender and the equalizer;
pretty chip from short range by Páez; and a late (and ugly) goal by Arce.
Despite dominating the match against Peru and a lovely goal from Moreno, the Bolivians, up a man
and up a goal with just minutes to go, fall at the final hurdle. Peru's late equalizer cut short
the Copa for Bolivia, who would have advanced as the second place team in Group A with the win.
Bolivia played some really nice stuff in this tournament, and I'm sorry to see them bow out after
being so close.

Venezuela might have caught the attention of a few in
the world of soccer after winning 1-0 over Ecuador in
Quito in round one of the qualifiers. However, they
have lost two in a row since then and now they're
looking to bounce back against Bolivia at home.
Bolivia has looked awful so far in these South
American qualifiers.
