12.10.2011 - No hacen falta Copas ni triunfos ni clasificaciones extraordinarias ni (siquiera) localías. Deysi Araujo, acompañada de Mirella, viajó a Chile (Estadio Colo–Colo) para ver a su Perú frente a la Roja (en la 2º fecha de Eliminatorias mundialistas 2014).

Here is a selection of five players under the age of twenty-one who will be hoping to make this summer a memorable one in Argentina.

25.06.2011 - Ir a Corrientes a pescar huevos de dorado (?), al Chaco a cazar bebés de tatú carreta (?), a Formosa a apuntar a mínimos yaguaretés (?). "Si la tierra no descansa magras cosechas tendrás", aprendieron los emigrantes europeos.
Si bien la cantera argentina de jugadores viene manifestando un franco declive, la fiebre exportadora no se detiene.

Club Social y Deportivo Colo-Colo (commonly called Colo Colo) is one of Chile's most popular and successful soccer teams. It has won a record number of national titles (29) and is the only Chilean team to have won the Copa Libertadores. Colo Colo missed winning last season's Primera División de Chile championship by three points.

Monterrey NL a 04 de Febrero del 2011. Llega una fecha más en donde el Campeón tiene nuevamente un juego en su Estadio y con su Gente.

Grandes han sido los partidos entre estos dos equipos tanto en fase regular como de liguilla, siendo así que hasta uno ha eliminado al otro en tal instancia y viceversa.

07.04.2011 - Demasiado consciente de las cámaras y los rebotes mediáticos de su (ascendente) imagen, Neymar fabrica espectáculo y sigue sumando páginas en los medios.
Anoche jugó para la victoria (3-2) de Santos sobre Colo Colo (Copa Libertadores) y, merced a su técnica, desfachatez y desmesura, no dejó de florearse.

Schon seit Wochen zog sich der Poker um einen möglichen Wechsel von Leverkusens Arturo Vidal hin – dabei gab es gleich eine Reihe namhafter Interessenten: In die von Bayern München angeführte Liste reihten sich nach und nach unter anderem der FC Chelsea sowie Juventus Turin ein. Letztendlich machten die Italiener das Rennen um den 24-Jährigen.

Nope, this is not a piss taking post.
Malaysia has young players in Slovakia mixing it with local teams but Indonesia has had a young team in Uruguay for a few years now and, rather unusually for Indonesia, they have been working under the same coach all that time.
Unfortunately named SAD, it's an acronym that works better in Spanish I believe, the young Indonesians have been on a tour of Chile where they achieved a level of consistency no-one will appreciate

El fútbol se está cuadrando en la lucha contra el cáncer de mama. Primero fue la Universidad de Chile, luego Colo- Colo y el próximo domingo Universidad Católica.
Pero las mujeres también quisieron hacer lo suyo y este viernes, políticas de distintos sectores, animadoras televisivas y periodistas dejaron todo en la cancha para promover la importancia de la detección oportuna de esta enfermedad.

Stellar...

Chile, with both it's coaching situation unsettled as well as its roster, brings an exclusively national league collection of players to face Bob Bradley's crew January 22nd at HDC in Carson, California.

It's a small squad with only 16 players currently named, with six of those players coming from the famed Club Social y Deportivo Colo-Colo which probably has one of the best team emblems you've seen (right) named after a legendary chief of the Mapuche tribe.

Chile has announced a squad of 16 domestic-based players that will prepare for the Jan. 22 match against the United States at The Home Depot Center. Coached by Marcelo Bielsa, who led Chile to the Round of 16 of the 2010 FIFA World Cup where they fell to Brazil, the team began gathering for training today.

GK: Paulo Garcés (Universidad Católica), Raúl Olivares (Colo Colo) Def: Eugenio Mena (Universidad de Chile), Sebastián Toro (Colo Colo), Paulo Magalhaes (Colo Colo), José Pedro Fuenzalida (Colo Colo), Carlos Labrín (Huachipato), Fernando Meneses (Universidad Católica) Mid: Felipe Seymour (Universidad de Chile), Francisco Silva (Universidad Católica), Luis Pedro Figueroa (Unión Española), Felipe Gutiérrez (Universidad Católica), Lucas Domínguez (Audax Italiano) For: Edson Puch (Universidad de Chile), Esteban Paredes (Colo Colo), Daud Gazale (Colo Colo)

STARTERS
The Copa Del Rey Semifinals are all set with Barcelona taking on Almeria, and Sevilla facing Real Madrid.
-Yes that does set up nicely for a Barca v Real final!
dN
The Asian Cup begins Quarterfinals on Friday, and Copa Centroamericana steps into the Semifinal Rounds then too.

Tomorrow night (or evening for those on the West Coast) the United States January camp team will take the pitch against Chile in a friendly where both sides are lacking all of their biggest stars. Chile is a good South American squad, normally second-tier behind countries like Brazil and Argentina, but with their former coach leading the team and not bringing many starters, this is a tough match to judge how far the U.

So far no media availability for Coach Marcelo Bielsa has been announced ahead of the 7 p.m. Saturday game at Home Depot Center, incidentally:

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) -- Chile President Sebastian Pinera wants Marcelo Bielsa to remain as the national team coach, a job the Argentine said two months ago he would leave when Jorge Segovia was elected head of the national soccer association.

STARTERS
Edson Buddle scored a goal in the 78th minute of his German debut with Ingolstadt against fellow American, goalkeeper David Yelldell. Unfortunately they gave up a late goal and only got a 1-1 tie.
dN
Japan scored 2 goals down a man and trailing to beat Qatar 3-2 in the Asian Cup Quarterfinals today.

A very young and inexperienced U.S. side showed a lot of heart in coming back to draw 1-1 with Chile. Esteban Paredes scored the opening goal of the match for Chile early in the second half while Teal Bunbury equalized from the spot late in the match.

As expected Bob Bradley continued to look for new faces for the national team as seven MLS-based Americans; Eric Alexander, Sean Franklin, Jeff Larentowicz, Zach Loyd, Sean Johnson, Chris Wondolowski and Anthony Wallace, all earned their first senior-team caps.

60 veces Suazo, sí, el goleador chileno llegó a su gol 60 en el Club de Fútbol Monterrey, y está a tres goles de igualar a Guillermo Franco como el quinto mejor goleador de la historia de este equipo.

Humberto, que llegó en el 2007 a Rayados, se ha convertido en pieza fundamental para el equipo, e ídolo en la fanaticada rayada.

SANTIAGO, Chile -Marcelo Bielsa resigned as Chile's national team coach on Friday, ending a three-month saga over his future. Bielsa stepped down at a news conference despite his overwhelming popularity in Chile and attempts by new Chilean football association president Sergio Jadue to persuade him to stay.

Death of a Chilean Love Affair is a post from: Just Football

Last Friday, Marcelo Bielsa put an end to three months of speculation by announcing his resignation as manager of the Chilean National Team. It was three and a half years of his work that not only repositioned Chile amongst the world's best but which also returned faith and hope to a country with a loser complex.

Chile The major talking piont in Chile is the fact that 29 time champions Colo-Colo currently sit bottom of the league with only one point from their first three games. On Saturday they suffered one of the most embarrasing results in their history going down to a 1-5 home defeat against Universidad de Concepción.

Reports & highlights of Group 5 in the 2011 Copa Libertadores. After Corintians failure to progress through the qualifying round Santos were the next Brazilian side to slip up dropping points in a 0-0 away draw against Venezuelan side Deportivo Táchira. After the boring stalemate of the first game the second game provided plenty of entertainment with Cerro Porteño beating Colo-Colo 5-2.

In the first round of games in Group 5 of the 2011 Copa Libertadores Paraguayan side Cerro Porteño put on a magnificent display to crush Colo-Colo of Chile 5-2. One of the highlights of the game was 17 year old Argentine born forward Juan Manuel Iturbe's Copa Libertadores debut as a second half substitute, he lived up to expectation hitting two goals.

I am still travelling and in two days will start blogging back to normal. However, these goals worth posting, especially Dragan Stankovic amazing volley after only 25 seconds. I am sure you all seen it, but I cannot leave it not posted :)
This player is a wonderful one, and the way he combines his mental with his foot skills, this goal reminds me a lot with another goal scored with the same wonderful way
Neymar with such a very sensitive skills, with great quality in "small touches with big impacts" with Santos victory over Colo Colo
Mexican football keeps impressing me with its new generations.

Brazil's Cruzeiro grabbed the top seed into the knockout stages after romping to another win this past week, Ecuador's Liga de Quito took first in its group following an emphatic home victory and supporters for Uruguay's Penarol unfurled what should be the soccer world's largest banner as the Copa Libertadores reaches its final week of group-stage play.

Game of the week - 22 April 2011 On 21 April 2011 Chilean side Colo-Colo hosted Cerro Porteño of Paraguay in the last game in group five of Copa Libertadores 2011. Both sides had been struggling in their own domestic leagues but this game would give the winners a chance to progress to the knockout stages of Copa Libertadores.

Game of the week - 8 April 2011 When Santos hosted Colo-Colo in group five of Copa Libertadores 2011 few people would have expected the game to be as enthralling as the 3-2 win for Colo-Colo in the reverse fixture. If anything Santos' 3-2 win in the return fixture was even more action packed, with five goals, five red cards and a host of other incidents.

"Udinese and FC Barcelona have reached a final agreement for the transfer of Alexis Sanchez," Barca said in a statement.
