The two top teams met last weekend as did two of the biggest teams and given the Javan centric nature of the country the focus was obviously on Persib and Persija. Played at the Jalak Harapat Stadium in front of 30,000 fanatic Bobotoh the hosts scraped through 1-0 thanks to a controversila first half pen by Miljan Radovic, his fifth goal of the season.

Maybe I need to go back to my Sporting KC recovery stage for the Comets to win games. Since I finally "recovered" and started really covering the Comets again this year, the team has gone 0-2. When I wasn't, they were 3-0.
Yesterday afternoon at the Independence Event Center, the Comets fell to the defending MISL Champions, Milwaukee Wave 11-6.

The Milwaukee Wave are looking to recapture the magic of last seasons title winning team. The Wave have announced that they have re-signed the core offensive players from last season in hopes of repeating as MISL champions in the upcoming 2011-2012 season.
WAVE SIGNS 3 FORWARDS IN QUEST FOR ANOTHER MISL CHAMPIONSHIP October 28, 2011 – (Milwaukee, WI) – The Milwaukee Wave has announced it has re-signed three forwards in its quest for another MISL championship, pending league approval.

After years of failing to achieve success Persib have acted ruthlessly, culling much from last season's squad.
Out have gone Christian Gonzales, Hilton Moreira, Markus Horison, Nova Arianto, Isnan Ali, Siswanto and Rachmat Affandi among others.
In have come Nasuha, Tony Sucipto, M Ilham and Aliyudin; all from bitter rivals Persija.

From what one reads Leo Messi will never be the people's player no matter what he does. There are too many questions when it comes to where his heart lies. But the question really should be does Argentina deserve Messi?

The best thing Checho Batista did against Costa Rica was to put that £250,000 per week mercenary Carlos Tevez on the bench.

Fredy Guarin will be one of the most sought after players after this Copa America is over. The Porto winger's almost laconic but inch perfect through pass from midfield fell in front of the surging Adrian Ramos who took it past Leonel Moreira to put Colombia up for good. Guarin's Porto team mate, Radamel Falcao meanwhile is getting all the attention.

Colombia's finishing may have been poor, but that didn't stop it from winning its Copa America opener against Costa Rica on Saturday.

With Argentina and Bolivia tying in the tournament opener, Colombia took sole possession of first place in Group A with a 1-0 triumph over a 10-man Costa Rica side.

It promises to be a busy transfer window at Persib with players coming and going. Apparently Safee Sali is the first arrival, saying that his last game for Selangor will be next weekend before he moves to Indonesia.
His arrival is sure to signal more outgoings. For now Persib have Christian Gonzalez, Pablo Frances, Hilton Moreira and Rahmat Affandi up front.

It's been a torrid start to the season for perennial favourites, and perennial underachvers, Persib. One coach sacked before the season even bagun, allegedly under pressure from players unhappy with his methods. A totally insipid performance away to PSPS where only Siswanto and the travelling support emerged with any credit.

I realise this is the second 'Ronaldinho mucks around in training' video Pies has featured in the space of a fortnight (this way for the first), but it's surely not humanly possible to tire of watching Ronny's particular line of nonchalant joga bonito in action.
