Tanto hablar, tanto hablar, y resulta que la respuesta estaba en uefa.com. Por casualidad, tropecé con la crónica del partido según lo cuenta la casa suiza del fútbol. He aquí el relato.
Irlanda va venciendo 1-0. La pieza periodística es tirando a clásica, sin ritmo. Click to continue reading...

Dynamic Duo set to leave MLS

Soccer By Ives 19 November @ 01:09 PM EST

by FRANCO PANIZO

If the Houston Dynamo is to continue its relative MLS success next season, it will likely have to do so without two of their most talented players.

Midfielders Ricardo Clark and Stuart Holden are out of contract at season's end, and both players are unlikely to return to the club, having been strongly linked with moves to Europe during the upcoming winter transfer window.

Vista Hermosa, que le ganó 2-1 a Alianza, sigue con posibilidades. Nicolás Muñoz y René Domingo Álvarez anotaron para los correcaminos y Carlos Ayala descontó para los albos.

Lakin tüm maç boyunca kaleye gelen tek şutu içeri alan Leo Franco ve onun önünde tüm maç boyunca hiç iş düşmeyen defans oyuncuları da dahil tüm takımı kadroya alması daha önce başıma hiç gelmemişti.

La tan esperada explosión de Franco Jara ya está dando sus primeros frutos en Arsenal.

Premier League Preview: Sunderland v. West Ham United

The Flat Back Four 29 October @ 08:11 PM EST
If the Hammers think that coming back to draw with Arsenal represent the proverbial "turn the corner" then the good work must be continued with another fine display against Sunderland. Playing at the Stadium of Light is not an easy task as the Black Cats have very passionate fans which can prove to be the 12th man for the home side. Click to continue reading...

If Manchester City attacker Robinho's hidden desire is to play for Barcelona then he is not doing a good job at keeping it a secret.

On Monday, Robinho told a Brazilian radio station he is happy with the interest Barcelona has in him, and that he thinks it is much easier to become the world's best player with them than with Manchester City.

Una mano de fortuna

Esto Es Arsenal 26 October @ 11:28 AM EST
Con la mezcla perfecta entre efectividad y suerte, Arsenal sacó adelante la tarea de obtener los 3 puntos ante un rival difícil, que disputó palmo a palmo la apertura del marcador. Con el gol extraño de Galván, el Viaducto sigue engordando el promedio y se afirma un poco más en la tabla de posiciones, aunque se sigan exhibiendo una gigantesca pobreza de ideas y escaso nivel técnico de nuestros jugadores.

Ahora o nunca
El plantel dirigido por Jorge Burruchaga sabe que no puede depender de otros resultados en la lucha por zafar de la promoción. Hasta el momento la mala campaña de Godoy Cruz y de los recién ascendidos ha permitido sacar una ventaja respetable en el promedio, pero ha llegado la hora de demostrar que el Arse tiene méritos para evitarse problemas a final de temporada, eso se logra ganando estos partidos que parecen no ser tan importantes, sin embargo nunca se sabe que depara el futuro y es mejor asegurar ahora una ubicación de tranquilidad, preocupados solamente de nuestra realidad, en vez de caer en desesperación para el próximo Clausura.

Lead up: Chelsea v Blackburn

The Offside - Chelsea 24 October @ 02:08 AM EST

Atletico Madrid presented little in the way of resistance during Chelsea's 4-0 Champions League shellacking of young Kun's temporary home in midweek. Saturday's contest against Sam Allardyce's Blackburn Rovers should prove a different prospect all together.

As Wigan, Stoke and Villa have shown, the Blues are lightweight aerially at the moment.

The U.S. national team's 2-2 draw against Costa Rica at RFK Stadium on Wednesday crowned the Americans as champions of the Hexagonal, but perhaps just as big of a story as the U.S. team's first-place finish was the tribute from the fans and players to forward Charlie Davies.

Salieron las voces autocríticas respecto del bajo nivel mostrado en el Diego Armando Maradona, lamentándose de la oportunidad perdida de continuar con la recuperación en juego y entusiasmo, además de sumar para el todavía flaco promedio del descenso.
