Concluyó la fecha 1 del Torneo de Clausura 2012 de la Liga de Ascenso y entre los algunos aspectos a considerar está el hecho de que no hubo empates en la fecha y en cada uno de los 6 partidos celebrados hubo un ganador y lo que es mejor aún, que de los 6 ganadores la mitad fueron visitantes, eso da una idea de que no hubo futbol especulativo y todos los equipos salieron a ganar, algo que es bueno y ayuda al espectáculo.

Uruguayan international defender Jorge Fucile has reportedly welcomed interest from both Liverpool and Chelsea.
The Reds were linked with a move for the player in the summer, and have again emerged on the radar in the past week as Kenny Dalglish looks to add some strength-in-depth to his defence.

Barcelona ha arrollado al Santos brasileño por 4-0 y se ha coronado campeón del mundo en Japón en una final en la que el equipo de Pep Guardiola ofreció un nuevo recital y logró su segundo título del Mundial de Clubes.Tras el golpe de autoridad azulgrana, no sería justo destacar solo la figura de Messi, descomunal durante todo el encuentro, ya que fue el equipo entero, valiente, voluntarioso y brillante, el que realizó un partido perfecto.

Santos overcame J-League champions Kashiwa Reysol at Toyota Stadium in the first semi-final of the 2011 Club World Cup.
19-year-old superstar-in-waiting Neymar opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a superb looping left foot shot. The genuinely two-footed player was sensational in the opening half, linking well with his team-mates and showing some amazing dribbling skills.

Neymar showed why Europe's best all want to sign him as he inspired Santos to a 3-1 victory over Japan's Kashiwa Reysol in a Club World Cup semi-final in Toyota.

The Libertadores Cup holders are expected to face European champions Barcelona in this weekend's final, barring the unthinkable in Barca's semi-final against Qatar's Al Sadd on Thursday.

The Italian Serie A since yesterday has an unexpected leader: Udinese Calcio. After the amazing 4th place of the last year Francesco Guidolin's team is now at the top of the league despite the selling of many foundamental players during the last summer market.

Players like Gokhan Inler, Alexis Sanchez and Cristian Zapata have been sold for more than £ 60 millions and replaced with less expensive players such as Gabriel Torje ( £ 5 millions from Dinamo Bucaresti) and Danilo Larangeira (form Palmeiras).

This weekend, Brazil's national championship reaches round 28. So, with just 11 games to go in the league, it was high time I revealed the six players who have caught my eye this season. This is the fourth Talent Factory (2008, 2009, 2010) and in many ways it's been the hardest to write.

Brazil have announced the squad that will face Argentina in Cordoba on 14th September for the ‘Superclássico das Américas'.

We reach the end of the road in our Serie A club previews for 2011-2012 with Udinese Calcio. Not as flash as big brother Juventus, our northerners from the Friuli–Venezia Giulia region do have an eye for young talent. But as Serie A Weekly writer Lorenzo Vicini points out, shame they couldn't keep at least one of their major transfers out this summer for Champions League competition,.

Transfer deadline day has finally arrived and once again it seems that Spurs will be frantically trying to tie up deals for a number of players in a number of positions.

All the usual suspects seem to be involved – Gary Cahill, Scott Parker, Chris Samba and Leandro Damiao but there is a new name emerging and an interesting one at that.

Arsene Wenger has told Bolton they can keep Gary Cahill, if chairman Phil Gartside and manager Owen Coyle maintain their stance that his initial offer for the player rumoured to be £6m is "derisory".

The claim comes after AW and Gartside had a bust-up after the latter triggered the row by retweeting a message from a Bolton fan on his Twitter account, which accused the Gunners of ‘taking the p***' with their offer for the defender.

It is being reported this morning that the Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is very keen on bringing the young Portugese midfielder Danilo Pereira to Anfield, but the youngster, who has been favourably compared to a young Patrick Vieira, is more likely to end up at the Emirates next week.

A excelente campanha que Portugal fez no Mundial de sub-20 voltou a levantar a questão da pouca coragem que a generalidade dos treinadores dos clubes portugueses tem em apostar nos jovens portugueses. Os tempos são outros e recuando 20 anos constata-se que entre os dois grupos que Carlos Queiroz guiou conquista do ceptro mundial nenhum dos atletas representava um clube estrangeiro.

That's an awesome photo of Bruno Uvini and Henrique from Brazil's U-20 squad congratulating Danilo on his first call-up to the senior seleção yesterday! Sure, it looks borderline cheesy and posed, but who cares?!

Handshakes aside, the U-20 guys have an extremely important agenda to settle to today : The World Cup final against Portugal!

Brazil take on Portugal in the final of the Under-20 World Cup this evening in the estádio El Campín in Bogota, Colombia.
Ney Franco is expected to start the same team that saw off Spain and Mexico in the previous rounds.

By DAVID MOSSE

If Brazil intends to avoid the drama of another penalty shootout on Saturday when it takes on Portugal in the final of the FIFA Under-20 World Cup, Ney Franco's side must become the first team to find the back of the net against Portugal, whose remarkable shutout streak in this tournament reached 570 minutes following Wednesday's 2-0 semifinal victory over France.

It isn't anyone's idea of a dream final – certainly not Eurosport's Tim Caple. But this Under-20s World Cup hasn't been a dream tournament. Defensive Portugal against counter-attacking Brazil is something of a representation of what we have seen in Colombia over the last three weeks. And the ball could – should, in theory – spend long periods of the final untouched and unloved in the centre circle, as both teams sit back for their contrasting reasons.

Henrique was the hero with a brace. Brazil has a great talent in Negueba who has a motor, ball skills, and great crossing ability. One to watch out for. Danilo, Allan, and Dudu also caught the eye with their slick passing that led to Henrique's second.

Brazil now meet Portugal in the finals on Saturday.
