Ya inicio el año 2012, y todos estamos esperando que el evento deportivo del año inicie,como
cada cuatro años, la pregunta obligada es ¿Cuantos dias/horas faltan para que inicie Londres
2012?
Pues aqui tienes el conteo oficial para la inauguración de los juegos olimpicos 2012 en Londres
Inglaterra.
With the Olympics looming ever closer, understandably security will be a main concern for the
London 2012 organizing committee. It looks as though they are on top of things in
this respect, having carried out a security test in Scotland recently. The rehearsal took place at
the semi-final of the Scottish Communities League Cup between Ayr and
Kilmarnock, which the latter won in extra time, and involved fans.
While both teams already qualified for the London 2012 Olympiad there is a certain amount of
pride at play. For Canada's women this is an opportunity to declare that they deserve to be in that
top tier of teams challenging for Gold or Women's World Cups. With the Great White North hosting
the 2015 Women's World Cup it is matches like this and their second straight 20k+ crowd that
demonstrate that they are a top nation in the women's game.
Brazil's master of funk dance and part-time footballer, Neymar, has expressed
interest in playing at this year's London Olympics. Strange, considering the fact that Brazilians
don't particularly care for this tournament! At Beijing 2008, heads rolled when
Ronaldinho and co' picked up a bronze medal instead of gold.
Los juegos olímpicos de México 1968 fueron de los mejores en cuanto diseño grafico, todo
mundo recuerda el estilo futurista; esa hermosa tipografia que causo furor en su tiempo y que se
mantiene vigente como simbolo de modernidad.
Pues me encontrado por la web este vestido que se mostro en el Queens Art Museum de la ciudad de
México.

Phwoar!
He may be well and truly into the autumnal phase of his career, however, at 36-years-old, David
Beckham still has a craving for footie with a place in Stuart Pearce's Team GB side at the Olympics
top of his to-do list.

Señoras y señores,amantes de todos los deports, de la belleza de la humanidad, los Juegos
Olímpicos Londres 2012 están cerca y las fanfarrias se oyen a lo lejos.
La musica siempre es importante en este tipo de eventos y claro esta Londres es una de las
ciudades mas importantes a nivel mundial cuando se habla de musica.
El balón de la Euro 2012 es en verdad de un diseño muy bonito, en lo personal me ha gustado, mas
aun porque me invitaron a la presentación oficial en Kiev el 2 de Diciembre en el estadio olimpico
de Kyiv y lo pude probar en la mismisima cancha,donde sera la sede de la gran final. (Ver
vídeo)
Ese mismo día el 2 de Diciembre, fue el sorteo de los grupos y el atleta designado para
presentar el balón, no fue un futbolista, resulto ser uno de los mejores atletas de todos los
tiempos el ucraniano Sergei Bubka, referente del deporte europeo.
In the second round of the MLS SuperDraft the Seattle Sounders went for an athletic goal scoring
forward in UAB's Babayele Sodade. Standing 6'3 and 195 Sodade's test for the vertical at the

trained with the Canadian Olympic team in 2010 and is competing for a roster spot while they
attempt to qualify for London 2012.

Este primer dia no se podia empezar mas que de la siguiente manera recordando que según las
predicciones mayas en Diciembre de este año que inicia algo grande pasara, algunos conocedores del
tema creen que sera el fin del mundo.
Pero si esto realmente sucediera ¿Cuales son las señales que hemos recibido y no hemos
decodificado?
Ives Galarcep gives a detailed look at Caleb Porter's pool for the US Under-23 team-
Caleb Porter's first camp as US Under-23 national team coach has been a competitive one - a
productive one for the talented group under his command. There have been some impressive
performances put in by some of the players you would expect, but also some pleasant surprises from
players lower on the depth chart.
We're in the holiday spirit here at the Free Beer Movement. For us, it means more time off, a
return to the FBM motherland (Wisconsin), and a chance to try all sorts of tasty Midwest brews.
That doesn't mean we've jumped away from our soccer minds, though. Our little ditty covers some of
the biggest American soccer stories of 2011 and a few hopes for 2012 and you may recall the ditty
as "The Twelve Days of Christmas".

The future of the Women's Professional Soccer league (WPS) has been thrown into doubt yet again
after the termination of the majicJacks franchise. The WPS, which comprised six teams prior to the
'Jacks expulsion, was already operating under a one year waiver of the US Soccer rule that a league
must have a minimum of eight teams to be recognised.
La leyenda del futbol ingles David Beckham, aunque duela admitirlo, acaba de ganar el campeonato
de la MLS junto a Landon Donovan, pero lo que mas me llamo la atención de este jugador
recientemente es el siguiente video: el futbolista britanico jugando con el equipo paralimpico de
futbol ciego, jugando hombro con hombro con el capitan de esta especialidad Dave Clarke , aunque al
inicio entreno si ver, despues jugo sin la venda en los ojos, para al final tirar penales y tomarse
la foto con el equipo.

Why Beckham must be captain of the GB Olympic team
When it comes to picking the Great Britain squad for London 2012 and naming its captain, I think
we owe David Beckham. I'm not saying Beckham should be in the squad just because he was one of the
men who won the Olympics Games for London way back in 2005.

"Err, Stuart...you've got a bit of a 'tuft' situation going on up top pal"
It's been announced this morning that England U21 coach Stuart Pearce and England Women's
manager Hope Powell will be jointly charged with leading the Great British football team (should it
ever actually come into existence) at the London 2012 Olympic games.

Understandably, European nations often decline to participate in Olympic football competition.
The alignment of their respective four year rotations means that UEFA's European Championships
coincide with the Olympic Games.

Out with the old, in with the new? Yeah, um, not so much....
It's tough to derive meaning from last week's U.S. Women's Soccer Celebration Series in an
on-field context. With nothing at stake, and with the purpose of the two game series against Canada
clearly stated as a celebration, the squad was under no obligation other than to entertain
fans.
No, Real Madrid is NOT in Crisis. We are merely in a slump. 5 dropped points over 2 games against
La Liga teams whose objective is to stave off relegation is proof of that. Maybe Jose Mourinho's
sarcastic remarks prior to the Levante game about just wanting to stay up were taken seriously by
the team: prompting them to play as if we were a team battling relegation.
It's USWNT video day here at the Free Beer Movement. Even though the Lady Nats are seriously
focused on capturing the 2012 Olympics title in London we've always appreciated the fact that
they're never too serious about their sport. Game time is one thing... play time... they're got
some of that too.A nice series of outtakes from various U.
Probably one of the best U.S. Soccer "hype" vids we've ever seen and it comes on the tail of an
amazing World Cup performance by the U.S. Women's National Team. Their run isn't over yet. The 2012
Olympic games are just around the corner and the Lady Nats have their sights set on capturing the
gold medal in London.
La idea tal vez era buena, el grupo ingles de Queen promocionando los juegos olimpicos de
Londres 2012 con su tema mas deportivo (lo que sea que eso significque) We are the champions.
Desafortunadamente la ejecucion para miles de aficionados en las redes sociales no tuvo el exito
esperado o por lo menos el gusto o agrado , porque han estado hablando del promo pero la mayoria
son criticas negativas, desde el vestuario,las voces y los participantes.
London 2012 Chief and former Olympic champion Sebastian Coe has said he will
focus uniquely on athletics following next summer's games, quashing hopes he may
develop his career in football politics instead.
"My focus post-2012 will be track and field, absolutely," Coe told Reuters.

David Beckham is targeting a place at London 2012. He
wants to be a player for Great Britain national team rather than a manager.
"Once the manager has been picked I'd love to be part of the Olympics," Beckham said. "I'd be
honoured to be something in the GB team, especially being an East End lad.

West Ham go Route One back to Premier League - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Messrs. Gold and Sullivan have stumbled from bad decision to ludicrous decision since taking
over at West Ham but they may well have struck gold with the appointment of Big Sam. The quickest
form of transport is through the sky and that's why Allardyce's long ball football could provide
the Hammers with an instant return to the topflight.

So from Barca to Leyton Orient...
It would be a massive shock if we started with anything like a full strength team today, and
whilst Orient are not world-beaters, the game will be a massive one for a few members of the squad;
in particular Marouane Chamakh, Tomas Rosicky and Sebastian Squillaci.
adidas is offering a sick, once in a lifetime opportunity to the UK public by inviting them to name
the official football that will be used at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
