Barcelona endured a frustrating return to action in La Liga as they were held at Camp Nou by
Villareal yesterday evening. The hosts enjoyed a wonderful 2009, culminating in Leo Messi's
extra-time winner in Abu Dhabi which disposed of Estudiantes and secured the World Club
Championship, but their first match of 2010 was muted by comparison.
El canal deportivo Ese Pene, mejor conocido como ESPN, lanzara su nuevo canal de tercera dimension
con el Mundial Africano este verano. Son momentos como estos donde me alegro que Rene Higuita ya no
juega futbol pero igual tenemos que tener cuidado con jugadores como Ribery, Tevez, Puyol y como
siempre Ronaldinho.
Perhaps the most prolific and finest exporter of footballing talent in the world will always be
Brazil. No country that has managed to remain a bastion for footballing excellence for over 50
years deserves to be considered anything less.
Yet, if Brazil have the tradition to deserve such an accolade, make no mistake that at the
moment the quality of talent being produced from the academies of Spain deserve to push them mighty
close, as they continue to produce prodigious talents and at a quite prolific rate.
