On the same day that Real Salt Lake gets to keep Alvaro Saborio as a Designated Player, the
Seattle Sounders FC have announced a similar signing in keeping striker Fredy Montero on board as
their third DP. Similar to Saborio's deal with RSL the club had to finalize the deal with Montero's
former club Deportivo Cali in Colombia.
Colombia There were a couple of shock results in group A over the weekend, with the bottom two both
keeping their faint title ambitions alive with home wins against the top two. Atlético Huila
managed a 1-0 win against the leaders Santa Fe, their goal was an excellent turn and strike from
Rafael Castillo after only three minutes.
You can talk all you like about the friendly where a good number of US regulars were thoroughly
dominated by a Brazilian B-Team a month after the World Cup. You can talk about glass half-full
results featuring new tactics against Poland and Colombia until you are blue in the face. I know at
least one of our writers did, and oddly enough, he took time off from his general cynicism to (sort
of) praise Bob Bradley for experimenting.

Nunca alcanzarán las palabras cuando se trata de esta pasión. Las letras escasean, mi
teclado no sabe como resumir un año de alegrías. Diciembre muere, ilusiones renacen, esperanzas
se han cumplido. 12 uvas nunca serán suficientes; a pesar de eso, siempre volvemos al mismo sitio.
Aquí, ha este deporte donde con la dulce ironía que abraza a las cosas que valen la pena, nos
sentimos niños, mientras jugamos a ser adultos.
