Even when it doesn't count, Messi is stunning. Look at that pass! It is impossible not to hit
that ball too hard or too soft. I'm officially calling him Young Skywalker. That pass? It's
nothing! He used to bullseye womprats in his speeder back on Tatooine.
In the summer, Napoli sold goalscoring machine Di Natale and signed Edinson Cavani, fresh off
his performance as the third best striker on the Uruguay squad.
Serie A: 9 Young players to watch in 2011 is a post from: Just Football
by Marco Maioli
In a league often accused of not giving enough chances to the new promises of football, some of
the most interesting players are, actually, quite young.
The 23 year old Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, playing for Napoli, is the current topscorer
of Serie A; Udinese's Alexis Sanchez (born in 1988) and Palermo's Javier Pastore (1989) are now
world-famous footballers likely to sign soon for top European teams very soon and AC Milan's
Alexandre Pato doesn't need any introduction.
Liverpool misfit Alberto Aquilani has quickly settled into life at AC Milan and scored his first
goal for the club in the 3-1 loss to Napoli at the weekend.
The midfielder has once again been sent out on loan by Liverpool and is hopeful that come the end
of the season he will be able to make his move permanent.
The Los Angeles Galaxy opened their Asia Pacific Tour in winning fashion, posting a 1-0 victory
over the Indonesian National Select Team on Wednesday.
Robbie Keane scored the winner for the Galaxy, who trotted out the same starting lineup that
defeated the Houston Dynamo in the MLS Cup Final just ten games earlier.
It is being reported this morning that Arsene Wenger has put both Marouane Chamakh and Andrei
Arshavin on the Arsenal transfer list in the hope of off-loading at least one (if not both) of his
out-of-form players in January. Arshavin is worried about losing his place in the Russia side at
the Euros next summer [.

Situations involving penalty kicks are often similar to situations involving one night stands.
One of the parties is usually thrilled whilst the other is full of self loathing and regret,
shocked that something like that could happen to them. The analogy could go on but would
risk entering into PG-13 territory.
There are a few common factors that can cause a footballer's potential transfer value to
skyrocket. Those characteristics include youth, while at the same time possessing a decent level of
experience, individual skill, soccer brains, attacking prowess and some those more nebulous
intangibles that draw fans to stadiums and televisions to see them play.
08.07.2011 - Con goles de
Alvaro Pereira (´53) y
Alexis Sánchez (´64),
Chile y Uruguay empataron (1-1) en el Estadio Malvinas Argentinas (Mendoza) por el Grupo C que
queda liderado por la Roja de Claudio Borghi.
Áspero e intenso, el partido no mostró el máximo potencial de ambos que pelearon por llevarse
los tres puntos.
Ennesimo pareggio (comunque emozionante) di questa Coppa America. Il Niño Maravilla dell'Udinese,
Alexis Sanchez, da uomo mercato ricercatissimo, si trasforma in uomo della provvidenza siglando
l'1-1 tra Cile e Uruguay, che ora, da favorita nei pronostici della vigilia, rischia l'eliminazione
con due soli punticini e, quasi sicuramente, perde Cavani per l'ultima sfida del girone (contro [.

Barcelona beat Napoli 5-0 to win their 36th (out of 46) Joan Gamper Trophy at the Camp Nou last
night, a match that saw Cesc Fabregas notch his first goal in blaugrana after starting up front in
Leo Messi's 'false 9′ position duly opening the scoring by nudging home Adriano's cross.

Luis Suárez (´41, ´45, ´67 y ´73), Uruguay venció
(4-0) a Chile en el Centenario y se acomoda en lo más alto de la tabla sudamericana.
A falta de Forlán (desgarrado), Luis Suárez tomó el encargo y no perdonó a un Chile
deshilachado que acumula 10 goles en contra en 3 partidos y vive su
peor momento en años,
luego de la luna de miel bielsista.

Well, it's only a minor problem that happens when your eyes refuse to OPEN and you

This has apparently been doing the rounds for a few days now so is therefore ancient in internet
years, but better late than never, eh?
What you're looking at is a seismic read-out of the area around the San Paolo Stadium in Naples
for the duration of the Napoli's 2-1 victory over Man City in the Champions League last week.
Magnificent, sensational or as the Italian's like to say strepitoso or resounding, just some of
the words that best describe Napoli striker Edinson Cavani's display at a packed San Paolo on
Sunday evening after his treble strike destroyed woeful Juventus. Even by his own high
standards, this will go down as Il Matador's finest hour in a Napoli shirt since his 20 million
euro.
Edinson Cavani was Diego Forlan's understudy in the World Cup. But here is evidence that the
talented Uruguayan will be a transfer target for bigger clubs. A hat trick scored by Cavani- all
three goals were headers helped Napoli overcome Juventus and maintain their threat to AC Milan.
Il Napoli sbeffeggia la Juventus e vola con il sacro fuoco di Cavani, al secondo posto in Serie A,
chiudendo un girone d'andata spumeggiante; 36 punti, tanti gol e la verve del suo Matador uruguagio
che impreziosisce e completa la classe di Hamsik e l'estro di Lavezzi. Napoli non è solo il
problema della spazzatura [.
La 19° giornata della Serie A è stata assolutamente spettacolare. Tanti goals, emozioni e
risultati pazzeschi hanno caratterizzato l'ultimo turno del girone d'andata. Il Milan, gi
matematicamente campione d'inverno, viene fermato in casa dall'Udinese sul 4 a 4, al termine di un
match incredibile, ne approfitta l'Inter di Leonardo giunta al secondo successo consecutivo (sembra
[.
Edinson Cavani fez um "hat-trick" frente Juventus e como se fosse pouco ainda decidiu dar mais
brilho sua portentosa exibição com um golo verdadeiramente espectacular. O que parece ser um
mergulho de cabeça é, afinal, um toque de calcanhar do uruguaio do Nápoles que baralhou por
completo o guardião da "vecchia signora".
La 20° giornata di Serie A, prima del girone di ritorno, prende avvio alle 18 con
Napoli-Fiorentina. I partenopei, secondi in classifica a quattro lunghezze dal Milan, sono in
grande forma e vengono dal trionfo del San Paolo, conquistato con un secco 3-0 ai danni della
Juventus, sconquassata dal "matador" 'uruguagio Cavani, assoluto protagonista del [.
Napoli failed to close the gap on Serie A leaders Milan after a goalless draw at home against a
resurgent Fiorentina in the Saturday early kick-off match. Qasa Alom reports. Coming into the
match, Napoli were full of confidence after a marvellous 3-0 victory over Juventus last weekend
that propelled them into second place and received wordwide praise.
Now this is the type of player I really like. "El Matador", namely Edinson Cavani. Cavani
finished 4th in the last World Cup with Uruguay where his role was less important than that of
Forlan and Suarez since he was mostly used as a winger. However, it was an excellent experience for
a player his age since Cavani is only 23 years old.
Bari vs Napoli Stadio San Nicola- January 23, 2011 Final score:- Bari 0-2 Napoli ( Ezequiel
Lavezzi, Edinson Cavani) Napoli maintain their good run of league form as they beat Bari 2-0 away
from home on Sunday afternoon. Bari ended the game with a man less on the pitch following a red
card to Alessando [.
Barcelona and AC Milan successfully protected their advantages this weekend while Manchester
United extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to two points.

It is a case of as you were at the top of the Liga after Barcelona and Real Madrid both won.
ROME, Italy — Giampaolo Pazzini scored a brace on his debut as Inter Milan fought back from a
two-goal half-time deficit to beat Palermo 3-2 on Sunday. The win kept the champions in the title
race following leaders AC Milan's 2-0 win at Catania on Saturday, leaving them nine points behind
but with a game [.
Real Madrid are now seven points behind FC Barcelona in Spain after losing 1-0 at struggling
Osasuna. In France it was a good weekend for Lille as they extended their a top Ligue 1
Spain
It was a potentially decisive weekend in the La Liga title race with Barcelona wining and Real
Madrid failing to follow suit.
It was another super Sunday for Neapolitans as their Uruguayan talisman Edinson Cavani recorded
his second treble strike of the season in the 4-0 destruction of Sampdoria to leave Il Vesuviani
just four points behind leaders Milan. The game was effectively sown up by half-time thanks to a
double salvo from Cavani.

The Serie A is overflowing with hidden pearls; Catania's Takayuki Morimoto, Fiorentina's Adem
Ljajic, AC Milan's Alexander Merkel or Palermo's Josip Ilicic are some of the rising stars
dominating the headlines.
Frena ancora, dopo il pari interno con la Lazio, il Milan, stoppato fuori casa dal Genoa di
Ballardini. Nella 24° giornata di Serie A, i rossoneri trovano il vantaggio con Pato, servito da
un geniale assist di Ibrahimovic (tunnel a Criscito), ma poi subiscono il recupero rossoblu,
firmato da Floro Flores, il quale realizza il [.
MILAN, Italy — AC Milan was held to a 1-1 draw at Genoa on Sunday, cutting its Serie A lead to
three points after Napoli beat Cesena 2-0 at home. Alexandre Pato opened the scoring for Milan, but
Antonio Floro Flores equalized with his first Genoa goal since joining during the transfer window.
For Napoli, [.
MILAN, Italy Antonio Cassano scored his first AC Milan goal and Robinho struck twice to help the
Serie A leaders end a run of two straight draws in a 4-0 home thrashing of Parma on Saturday.
Second-placed Napoli made sure the gap stayed at three points, however, with the league's top
scorer Edinson Cavani [.
Botta e risposta Milan-Napoli negli anticipi della 25° giornata del campionato di Serie A. I
rossoneri liquidano facilmente la pratica Parma con un poker firmato Seedorf, Cassano e doppio
Robinho (entrato nella seconda parte di match). Un risultato che conferma la leadership meritata
dell'undici di Allegri, primo con 52 punti.
Manchester derby. Tie game. Wayne Rooney.
Samuel Eto'o has been in fine form for Inter Milan this campaign. But that doesn't mean we will
let him off the hook for his epic miss on Sunday against Juventus.
David Barral ran around Barcelona's defense like it wasn't there. Sporting Gijon tied the league
leaders and let Real Madrid back into the title race.
Villarreal left Naples with a draw against Napoli, and have a great chance to progress to the
last-16 of the Europa League.
Chances were few and far between in a match that had been billed as boasting two of Europe's
more attacking sides. For Napoli in-form forwards Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi struggled to
get into the game, with the former having one effort disallowed for offside and both denied by good
stops from Diego Lopez.
LONDON, England Lionel Messi has pushed clear of Cristiano Ronaldo in the ESM Golden Shoe rankings
after Barcelona's Argentina star scored a further goal at the weekend while his Portuguese rival
from Real Madrid drew a blank. The Spanish league is the only one with three representatives in the
top 11 Barcelona's David Villa [.
Milos Krasic and Edinson Cavani were surely two nominees for players of the season by December.
And somehow, by March, a mere three months later, both seem vague shadows of the empirical figures
they once were. Fatigue and form may be an issue for the two attacking players, but unless Napoli
and Juventus figure out how to restore verve to these men sorely lacking it at the present, they
risk losing it all this season.
The Joy of good Lavezzi is a post from: Just Football
In this week's Serie A column David Swan assesses the understated importance of one of
Napoli's key men:
Edinson Cavani has scored an incredible 20 league goals in 28 games for Napoli this season, just
under half of the total scored by the club in Serie A.
Roma are refusing to let the race for fourth place go down to two teams. By defeating Lazio over
the weekend, Vincenzo Montella has hit out at his critics and continued one of the brightest trends
of Claudio Ranieri's reign- a spotless derby record. I Lupi's run of consecutive victories over
Lazio now stands at five in Serie A, one more than the number of points they find themselves off
the pace for fourth.
