Rosario Central 2 - River Plate 1
Como de costumbre, River volvió a perder en condición de visitante ante un Central que aprovechó al máximo las chances que tuvo. El equipo de Gorosito sigue sufriendo, y cometiendo, horrores en defensa y no encuentra una fórmula clara de ataque. Click to continue reading...

NO BASTA CON PONER EL CORAZÓN

TREMENDAMENTE MOTIVADOS 07 September @ 10:57 AM EST
Era el partido que todo Sudamérica esperaba, la tensión estaba latente desde hace un mes atrás, las apuestas empezaban a correr, unos con calculadora en mano empezaban hacer cuentas con la derrota de la Argentina para irse a la agencias de viajes a comprar los boletos para ir a Sudáfrica, otros solo concebían a este partido como el clásico mas influyente del mundo, es que Argentina se enfrentaba a su archirrival Brasil.

Luisao solo.

LA PELOTA NO DOBLA 06 September @ 08:56 PM EST
Luisao rompió la ilusión cabeceando solo (absolutamente solo) en el área argentina. Podemos entender que, altos, los cabeceadores brasileños puedan ganarle en el salto a sus marcadores pero que además de altos cabeceen sin marca...
Argentina marca en zona, pero en esta jugada hizo marca personal e, inexplicablemente, Gabriel Heinze se va de su marca (Luisao) para chocarse con Domínguez. Click to continue reading...

(video gol) Calcio, squadre: Argentina-Brasile 1-3. Luis Fabiano, gol Mondiali. Per Maradona un pesante ko

Al "Gigante de Arroyto", il Brasile show di Dunga annienta la corazzata di Diego Armando Maradona e conquista il pass per i Mondiali sudafricani. Il 3 a 1 ottenuto in trasferta, grazie ai gol di Luis Fabiano (potete vedere il video della sua splendida doppietta) e Luisao, intervallati dal gol fantastico ma inutile, ai fini del risultato, del partenopeo Datolo.

Brasil fue actitud y juego ante una Argentina desalmada

FutblogMexicano 06 September @ 12:14 AM EST

El partido más importante en los últimos años, el encuentro que había que ganar, se perdió ante un Brasil que no demostró todo lo que sabe hacer, pero que con el oficio, el poderío en las pelotas paradas y el engranaje de su equipo, le alcanzó para golear al equipo de Maradona.

World Cup 2010 qualifying: Argentina 1 – 3 Brazil

Hasta El Gol Siempre 05 September @ 10:47 PM EST
Saturday night saw the big South American clásico in Rosario as Argentina hosted Brazil in the qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup, and Diego Maradona's reign as manager will be marked forever by the result: Argentina lost a qualifier at home for only the second time in their history. The first was the 0-5 loss [. Click to continue reading...

World Cup 2010: Argentina stares at defeat (HT)

Soccerblog 05 September @ 08:20 PM EST

Brazil leads Argentina, 2-0 through Luisao and Luis Fabiano. I expect Diego Maradona to resign if the Argentinians lose to their arch rivals. He has been totally incompetent managing all that talent at his disposal. Moving the match to Rosario, calling up Martin Palermo nine years after his last international match, bizarre formations.

Argentina vs Brasil: Un clásico muy internacional.

FutblogMexicano 04 September @ 01:34 AM EST

¿Quien no ha jugado en algún videojuego de fútbol un Argentina vs Brasil o viceversa? Es hasta cierto punto "de cajón" probar cuál de las dos selecciones es mejor.

Y si dudan que es un clásico y si no pues simplemente piensen en las dos figuras más grandes de nuestro fútbol y sin duda pensaran en Pelé y Maradona.

Fiorentina Reconsidering Swoop For Sao Paulo’s Miranda

Sanford's Soccer Net 28 July @ 06:33 AM EST
With Fiorentina making no secret of their desire to bring in a top central defender before the start of the season, it seems the Viola are ready to turn their attentions back to Sao Paulo's Miranda, after making heavy work in luring current targets Luisao and Diego Lugano to the Franchi.
So it's a little slow at the moment. Click to continue reading...

Soccer Pie 05 July @ 02:05 AM EST

The most successful Portuguese club, Benfica have been largely struggling in the last few years and despite the heavy investment in the playing squad, they have been unable to end Porto's domestic domination. The Eagles finished last season in third place but it seems that they have a really good chance to lift the long awaited title next season.

Easy: Brazil 3 - 0 US

See The Cup 18 June @ 10:55 AM EST

Before the match started, the big question was if Brazil as a team was back to normal levels of Dunga suffering seen in the past game or if the last game was a unseen performance by Egypt.

And before Dunga and the fans could seat to much with that question, Brazil was winning 1-0. Great start for the team that had a squad that tested 3 new players - Miranda replacing Juan, Andre Santos replacing Kleber and Ramires replacing Elano.
