Chocolate artisan Rafael Sanchis from Valencia has created a series of special chocolates
dedicated to all 23 players of the Spanish National Team competing at the Euro 2012. "I am very
proud of the outcome because I found it difficult to find good pictures of the players and their
faces appeared well on the chocolates," declared Sanchis, who was originally from Colombia.

vida sana y el deporte.
U.S. Men's National Team goalkeeper Brad Guzan's contract with his club team Aston Villa has
expired, and he's now determining what's next in his career. A lot of people are wondering where he
will land - including Guzan himself.
"I know there's some interest from teams in and around England which is always good.

But four days after clipping home a business class scissor kick against
Millionarios on Atletico Madrid's friendly tour of Colombia, Falcao's been at again belting home
another superb acrobatic effort in a 2-1 win over America de Cali.
21.05.2012 - Que
Teo Gutiérrez se fue (sin aviso) a Colombia a entrenarse con su
selección fue una (coartada) suposición hasta que se confirmó que
José Pekerman (DT) no lo
había convocado (los delanteros para enfrentar a Perú y Ecuador por Eliminatorias serán
Muriel, Ramos, Falcao y Jackson Martinez).
El Atlético de Madrid venció por 2-1 a Millonarios de Colombia en un partido amistoso
disputado anoche en el estadio El Campín de Bogotá.
La imagen de ese partido fue el golazo del colombiano Radamel Falcao García que juega en el Aleti,
ya que dejo boquiabiertos a los aficionados con una chilena, esto era apenas al minuto 4 de
juego.

The U.S. Under-14 Boys' National Team had a busy two-day slate of scrimmages last week at The

Thursday, May 17, the U-14s rebounded with two wins on Saturday, May 19 – a 3-0 victory against
CZ Elite FC and a 5-0 win against the San Diego Sockers.

Arsenal and Liverpool target Pablo Armero is now attracting the attention of AC Milan and Juventus,
according to Italian TV station Mediaset.
The 25-year-old Udinese defender has been one of the Serie A side's most consistent performers this
season, with 28 appearances and a single goal.
The left-footed Colombia international has become a mainstay in Udinese's backline since he joined
from Brazilian side Palmeiras in 2010 and can play at left-back as well as left midfield.
As the New England Revolution prepare for a Wednesday night clash with the Colorado Rapids there
are questions about tactics, lineups and what we can expect to see out on the plastic pitch of
Gillette Stadium.
Among the lineup questions, the introduction and integration of the new international players is
key among them, and as far as this blog is concerned, there's a clear interest in the status and
progress of our new Colombian signings and if we should expect to see more of them.

Chivas USA took a step toward upgrading their attacking options by turning to MLS' breeding
ground for talent: Colombia.
Chivas signed 19-year-old Colombian striker Jose Erick Correa from club Boyaca Chico FC to
augment a strike force that has managed just four goals in six games.
The Portland Timbers are making a habit of signing sons of former Colombian internationals.
The Timbers announced Monday that they added 18-year-old forward Sebastian Rincon on loan for
the 2012 season from Uruguay outfit Atletico Atenas. Rincon is the son of former Colombian national
team forward Freddy Rincon, who played in three World Cups during his 18-year career.
El diablo anda merodeando los estadios del mundo. Uno de sus primeros reductos fue la cancha de
Independiente, en Avellaneda, Argentina. El equipo siempre fue identificado como "los diablos
rojos" y la imagen de Mefisto es su mascota.
El mismo mote recibió siempre la selección de Bélgica, por su indumentaria roja.
Colorado has just announced that they've signed midfielder Harrison Henao on loan from Once Caldas
of Colombia. No terms were released but reports in Colombia say its until December and almost all
MLS loans include an option to buy. Henao is a 25 year old player who's been a pro since 2006.
Early indications are that he's a defensive midfielder, which may not be a positive sign for
Pablo's recovery.
Things are afoot. Let us round up and see. The US fell in the world rankings again today. Without
playing a game, it should be said. What are your thoughts on the US at No. 29? Nestled cozily in a
neighborhood with Japan, Slovenia and Edin Dzeko's Bosnia-Herzegovina, which might as well not have
any other players.

The U.S. men's national team didn't play a game this past month, but other nations merited
enough of a boost to drop the Americans a couple of spots in the latest FIFA rankings.
The U.S. men fell from 27 -- the highest ranking achieved so far during the Jurgen Klinsmann era
-- down to 29 in the rankings released on Wednesday, the penultimate world standings prior to when
the United States takes to the field again in friendlies against Scotland and Brazil next
month.
08.04.2012 - Y un día sucedió... después de 84 años en primera división,
América de
Cali perdió la categoría y por primera vez en su historia
juega por el ascenso. La
misma temporada que en Argentina también encuentra a River descendido por primera vez, los equipos
más campeones de Colombia y Argentina (recordados en choques finalistas de Copa Libertadores)
transitan el complicado sendero de la segunda categoría, donde todos quieren ganarles y, a la vez,
les exigen brillo y goleadas todas las semanas.
It's always funny how rumors come out of no where and are really based off of nothing. The Birahim
Diop to Colombia rumors started out of nothing but a running joke that Diop would look to continue
to follow Ocatvio Zambrano as he had quite a few times in his career. Today another rumor really
based off of nothing has come up.
Este año el fútbol femenil tendrá mucha actividad, todo comenzará con Londres;
posteriormente vendrá la Copa Mundial Femenina sub 20 en Japón en la que México ya tiene su
boleto para participar. Para el cierre de los Torneos de FIFA, Azerbaiyán albergará el Mundial
sub 17 del 22 de Septiembre al 13 de Octubre; las eliminatorias ya han comenzado en ciertas
confederaciones como lo son CONMEBOL y la Confederación Africana de Fútbol quienes ya tuvieron
sus etapas clasificatorias a esta justa y entregan a las primeras selecciones invitadas al Mundial
sub 17.

El fútbol en los Juegos Olímpicos de Londres 2012 contara con dos torneos, uno masculino y otro
femenino, que se disputaran entre el 25 de julio y el 11 de agosto de 2012.
The infectious smile is now gone from the locker room. Today, Sporting KC announced that they have
waived midfielder, Birahim Diop. Diop hadn't been in camp at all this year, instead had been away
from the team for personal reasons. The random speculation was that Diop was angling to try to go
down to Colombia and join Octavio Zambrano, who Diop has followed around for quite a bit of his
club career.
TweetBolton Wanderers football club have confirmed that Fabrice Muamba is 'critically ill' after
collapsing on the pitch during Bolton's FA Cup clash with Tottenham. In scenes eerily reminiscent

Tigres que disputarán el Preolímpico de CONCACAF. Según el sitio Panamá Digital, el panameño

conseguir su boleto a Londres 2012.

The U.S. men's national team's victory over Italy allowed for the Americans to make some more
headway in the FIFA world rankings.
The 1-0 win in Genoa propelled the U.S. men up four spots to No. 27, marking the highest they've
been ranked since Jurgen Klinsmann took over as manager last August.

Beware the Autoplay!
Will Ferrell has a new film out called 'Casa de mi Padre' which is set in Mexico and in which he
talks Spanish for the duration though it appears Ferrell's grasp of the language may not be quite
so fluent in what we have collectively been indoctrinated by the Queen shape-shifting reptile to
refer to as 'real life.
Can this be Colombia's moment in history after years of underachievement languishing in the
shadows of their illustrious neighbours? Jose Pekerman is their coach with a stellar record of
nurturing talent with the Argentina youth squads. They have Radamel Falcao, Fredy Guarin, Pablo
Armero, and Hugo Rodallega.
Jose Pekerman had his debut as Colombian coach with a good 0-2 away victory against Mexico in a
friendly match yesterday. Colombia seemed to play with more discipline and were cool-headed in the
most difficult situations, taking advantage of their stars, who played with heart, perhaps wanting
to prove to the new coach what they were worth.

The United States takes on Italy in Genoa at 2:30pm on ESPN2. You can read our Scouting Report on
the latest European test for USA soccer. The Under-23 US National Team plays Mexico at 10pm on
Univision. Fox Soccer has England - Holland at 3pm. Montenegro - Iceland is on ESPN Deportes at
12pm followed by Spain - Venezuela at 3:30pm.
¿A qué edad se puede debutar en el fútbol grande? Los reglamentos no lo establecen y en varios
países se dieron casos de futbolistas que pisaron las canchas cuando aún tenían rostro de niño.
Esta publicación la iré engrosando con más casos de otros países.
El 5 de julio de 2003 Independiente cayó 1-0 ante San Lorenzo.
PPL Park is set to host its third ever international friendly, according to an article out of
Chile.
Chilean news outlet La Tercera is reporting that the Philadelphia Union's home will be the
location of a February 29 friendly between Chile and Ghana. "The swanky modern stadium" was
apparently the top choice after MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants and New York Jets.
There's probably a team deep in the seedy parts of the regional Bangkok league where makeup and
fake nails are as much a part of the club as the football itself. But there's at least one fresh
new club in Colombia which will do likewise, and this team will only have one ball on the
pitch.
Yes, it's a women's team which will play dressed up, and has claims of being 'model-only'.

Well the Rapids, via a tweet from Tim Hinchey, essentially confirmed that our new #10 is Martin
Rivero. However there was no official announcement of the signing today. The Denver Post suggests
one reason:
So what's the delay? Here's why, maybe:Rivero remains in a contract dispute with
Rosario Central, according to Diario La Capital.
Colombia has long been an under-performer in international football, and although improvements have
happened in the last 20 years, this continues. It does not help that the Colombian national team
often has been the subject of scandals, and it was also a recent scandal of the woman beater
Hernán Darío Gómez that led to his dismissal, and Colombia looking for a new coach.
