Nesuhi y
Ahmet Ertegun (dueños
de Atlantic Records) fundaran la franquicia
"Cosmos" (New York Cosmos) y pasaron 36 desde

Steve Ross firmara el ampuloso contrato de explotación (u$ 7 millones) en concepto de
marketing y retransmisiones para (con la ayuda de Henry Kissinger) mostrar reunidos a Pelé,
Beckenbauer, Chinaglia y Carlos Alberto en el mismo equipo.
Melbourne Heart of the Australian A-League have completed what Fox Soccer calls "a masterstroke"
by signing Brazilian playmaker Fred. Many Union fans will remember Fred as that guy who made a lot
of money and didn't live up to the hype before Carlos Ruiz arrived.
Four students from the Cortiva Institute School of Massage Therapy and Lengthy Names won an
essay contest to provide massage therapy to the Philadelphia Union.
The overwhelming issue with FIFA is they suck. Tis the official diagnostic abstract, and
undoubtedly accepted by scholars and leading men alike Henry Kissinger too across the globe. In
fact, FIFA sucking any more would seem akin to Xavi misplacing a pass just impossible.
And yet, somehow they've found a means through which we can all hate them a little bit more:
Increasing international friendly dates.
"Hey Sepp, I'm going to squeeze the jelly from your eyes and have it on toast"
Sepp Blatter beefed up his group of FIFA advisers today adding the name of Shrek and Justin
Bieber to the already invited Placido Domingo, Henry Kissinger, and Johan Cruyff.
Asked about Shrek, the FIFA president revealed he liked nothing better than soaking in a hot tub
watching reruns of the plain spoken ogre fight the medieval forces of chicanery and corruption.
Just when you thought FIFA couldn't get any more bizarre Sepp Blatter has set about proving to FIFA
delegates that they made the right selection when they re-elected him as president by putting
together a crack ensemble to tackle corruption within the organisation. Blatter's very own A-Team

So FIFA is going about cleaning up the game with a panel of "wise men". They began with Johan
Cruyff, which is all good and well.

Peter Nowak on the Union's 1–1 draw with Colorado: "We were a little disappointed not to get
three points. But you cannot be too greedy coming here.
You can run but you can't hide.

Like EastEnders or Coronation Street going on a summer break to Spain, Blackpool or Ireland, the
footballing soap opera has upped sticks for the summer.
A cast of thousands, a few suitably over the top villians, a couple of unlikely characters
attempting to play the hero and subplots aplenty.
26.05.2011 - Aún hoy, a 17 años del Mundial USA 94, empresarios estadounidenses siguen
armando el rompecabezas para viralizar el soccer en el país del baseball (el fútbol americano, el
hockey sobre hielo y el basquet).
Si nos vamos a 1970 el panorama era más que desolador... la convocatoria a estadios no superaba
los 4000 latinos.
Two famous quotes spring to mind when looking forward to the fourth instalment of what has
quickly become an infamous series of Clasico matches.
I fully expect Barcelona to see Real Madrid off after beating them 2-0 at the Bernabeu, as I
