I tend to get too excited about the young kids, when they move. I will often over-value the
transfers of the the Zuculini, Sven Bender and Lewis Holtby's of the footballing world. I will see
Ralf Fahrmann's move to Eintracht as the bargain of the century. But youth takes time to develop,
so this year I am going to concentrate on the seven best transfers made so far this summer, in
relation to how the players will aid their teams in the coming year.

So just who is playing in the July 4 South American all-stars verses a Rest of the World team at
the exhibition game?
Even the game organizers are still trying to figure that one out it appears.
And it's not just Blanco who is either not coming or remains a question mark. For instance,
Brazilian great Roberto Carlos is still listed as participating on the Coliseum Web site as I write
this.

Real Madrid suffered a sorry end to their home campaign after slumping to a disappointing 3-1

Venezuela had never beaten Colombia for their The storyline of the match was the fact that Colombia
played shorthanded for three quarters of the game and were able to outplay a Venezuela side that
