29.12.2012 - El domingo 25 de junio de 1978 Mario Kempes se levantó a las 10.30 y, como de costumbre, no desayunó. Apenas unas horas después se consagraría campeón del mundo con Argentina. Aquí sus recuerdos... (6 partes de 4 minutos)
"Cuando vivía en Bell Ville me la pasaba con la radio pegada a la
oreja. No me perdía un sólo partido de los que se jugaban en Buenos Aires. Por entonces era de
Boca, que es como decir Rosario Central. Y sabía que algún día se me iba a dar..." "Ahora sigo teniendo las mismas
ilusiones de siempre.
Hoy recordamos en Retrofootball al gran Mario Alberto Kempes, "El
Matador".
Un delantero que alcanzó la cima en el Mundial 78, que ganó
Argentina en casa y que tuvo una dilatada carrera, con éxito a nivel de clubes.
Jugó en España en dos equipos (Valencia en dos etapas y
Hércules), además de en Argentina, Austria, Chile e Indonesia.
Seguimos con esta sección dedicada a todos los aficionados de Tigres que por alguna u otra
razón se encuentran lejos de la ciudad, pero aún así mantienen el mismo sentimiento que
todos.
¿Por qué Tigres? Es una pregunta que me hacen todos cuando saben que mi equipo es Tigres.
Probablemente a la mayoría de la afición que vive en Monterrey y en el norte del país jamás
le pregunten: ¿por qué a Tigres? Pues imagínense, uno que vive en la caótica capital del País,
es muy repetitiva la pregunta de porque a este equipo. Vaya mi respuesta normalmente era con la
historia de porque nació mi amor a Tigres, pero esta se volvió cansada de contar y ahora mi
respuesta es, porque es mi religión y en lo que creo, así nací y así moriré.
Pues mientras la directiva felina se decide a tirarle a uno de los extranjeros que se manejan
les recomiendo que guiemos nuestros ojos hacia otros aspectos y me parece que un buen distractor es
el clásico que es esta por realizarse entre Ex Tigres y Ex Rayados.
Resulta ser que el Alcalde de Monterrey, Fernando Larrazabal, decidió desde
semanas atrás hacer un evento con fines de recaudación para el DIF de
Monterrey.
Stifled for two and a half quarters by a stingy Wings defense and a stellar effort by Wichita's
goalkeeper, Senaldo, the Missouri Comets were down 7 - 2 and perhaps one more Wings goal from being
out of the game and disappointing a large holiday week crowd of 4,583 at the Independence Events
Center on Wednesday night.
(Independence, MO) Last night the Comets and Wings played a nail-biting affair won in extra
minutes. Tonight the Comets showed off their experience by dominating the visiting Wichita Wings
14-4. The packed house at the Independence Events Center was treated to another great goal from
midfielder and early MVP candidate, Geison as well as goals from current MVP Byron Alvarez.
Mazzarri è restato a Napoli anche con l'idea che De Laurentiis riconfermasse i suoi giocatori di
punta: el matador Cavani, el Pocho Lavezzi e Marek Hamsik, giocatori che sanno far parlare di sé
per quanto dimostrato sul campo, ad un livello che ha contribuito al terzo posto in classifica, ma
soprattutto alla Champions.
AC Milan, Napoli, and Sampdoria: what do the three sides have in common? Two are scudetto
contenders, and one is a relegation possibility, but all three have spoken recently about
losses.
Both AC Milan and Napoli have reiterated that their star strikers, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and
Edinson Cavani respectively, won't be leaving this summer.
One a team, one a player, both best told via video.
The Stadio Sao Paulo is usually a fortress: Napoli have won at home eleven times this season,
and have only lost twice. Lazio however threatened not just once, but twice, to send the side to
their third home defeat of the season. And then, Gli Azzurri woke up.
Edinson Cavani is following up his standout season with Palermo and fantastic World Cup with an
even better year at Napoli. The only question is, can the club keep him past this summer?
The two thousand pound gorilla at the Stadio San Paolo is surely the Cavani question, and it's
not difficult to see why.
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.

Matador Leo's Inter win again Editorial: A Sunday worth 10 out of 10 Crazy Milan: Allegri's side

Cyclone: Ciao Juve Sensational hat-trick Napoli go.
Serie A's Christmas break is under way, but Italy's leading four clubs received their perfect
presents back in the summer; Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani, Hernanes and Miloš Krasic have
each made huge impacts on their new employers over the first 17 rounds.
Signed from Barcelona, Ibrahimovic has scored nine league goals for AC Milan, who are three
points clear of surprise contenders Napoli and Lazio at the top of the table.
There have always been nicknames in soccer. Most players have nicknames, whether the are created
by the media, the fans, coaches, other players, there are nicknames everywhere. Then there are the
nicknames you make for players you hate. Those are always the most fun. (Like last season with
Klaas-Jan Junkelaar).
Reports in Italy and Germany have suggested that Liverpool Football Club are preparing a transfer
bid of around €20m for Uruguayan goal predator Edison Cavani, aptly nicknamed El Matador with a
move that could happen as soon as January to add forward support to that of Fernando Torres.
Although Liverpool seem to have financial problems at the moment it seems that the Anfield manager,
Roy Hodgson, has been given some cash to invest in more talent he feels would boost the Kop outfit,
having already bought players such as Raul Meireles and Milan Jovanovic.
Napoli 4 Lazio 3. San Paolo stadium is once again the volcano it used to be under Maradona. El
Matador is the best player in the Italian league. Naples never looses faith and wins again in the
last 5 minutes of the game after having been led 2-0 and 3-2. Will Naples, the underdog, win the
calcio?
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.
There is some news today that both Arsenal and Newcastle United are after Napoli's Edinson Cavani.
Edinson Cavani - El Matador in Italy The 24 year-old Uruguayan striker, who has Italian descent,
seems to be in great demand from both Premier league clubs. He has significant presence on the
pitch, and for this the Italians [.
Just a few hours before the axe finally fell on Sven Goran Eriksson's tenure as Mexican
national team manager, we here at SBI were able to have fun with one of his final moments in
charge of 'El Tri' courtesy an image taken from Mexico's 3-1 loss to Honduras.
The picture shows Sven having words with Mexican striker Nery Castillo, who Sven also coached at
Manchester City.
Former Argentine soccer player Mario Alberto Kempes, and now famous football commentator for
ESPN made statements made today to the international media warning that "Leo Messi can't win the
competition alone. He needs help because he can't kick a penalty, a corner kick and also shoot at
the same time.
Tenemos una cita el 5 de enero a las 4 de la tarde en la Arena Monterrey, ex futbolistas de Tigres
y Rayados nos deleitarán en este duelo organizado por el Alcalde Fernando Larrazabal Bretón en
beneficio del DIF.
El denominado "Clásico DIFerente", será de entrada gratuita, auspiciado por el Sistema para el
Desarrollo Integral de la Familia (DIF) de esta ciudad, dijo en conferencia de prensa el edil.

I havent had much to write about lately. And my fellow bloggers in Houston did make it known
that the Houstank was going to kick our butts. Gee that makes me ask the question. How come if you
guys are so good how come you could only manage one goal? How come your power player Mr. Chang
couldnt hit the broad side of a barn?

Con solo cuatro fechas por jugar el Torneo Clausura 2012 parece ser uno de esos campeonatos no apto
para cardíacos, cuando resta un partido para la finalización de la fecha 15 no se puede divisar
un claro candidato a quedarse con el trofeo de campeón.

Há um ano, Pep Guardiola fez "finca-pé" em contratar Dmytro Chygrynskiy para reforçar o então
Barcelona campeão europeu. Depois de uma longa novela, o central ucraniano lá deixou o Shakhtar
Donetsk, a troco de uns exorbitantes 25 milhões de euros para um jogador que estava longe de
figurar entre os melhores defesas da actualidade.
