Montevideo, Uruguay was the site of raucous celebrations as the Charruas drew the Ticos at the
Centenario but thanks to their away win at Estadio Saprissa on November 14th clinched passage to
the 2010 World Cup on goal aggregate.
Sebastian Abreu lost his markers after Diego Scotti centered his cross, to head the ball home
past Keylor Navas to put the Uruguayans ahead but the Ticos equalized minutes later with Fernando
Muslera diving to the left to get a hand on Alvaro Saborio's shot but unable in the end to keep it
out of the back of the net.

Por Lola DirceuAparecen como cometas. Deslumbran con toda suerte de gambeteos, rabonas y pinceladas pintureras.
Parten cinturas a su paso y se ponen sombreros de ala ancha tirados desde la grada tras meter gol.
Les idolatran como santos aparecidos. Se forran. Se lo gastan.

Creo que no es la primera vez que confieso que el "tiki taka" me aburre sobremanera. No acabo de
disfrutar del fútbol del Barcelona aunque reconozco que con este juego barre a sus rivales del
campo. Tampoco me gusta el juego de la selección, construido a imagen y semejanza del club

con gol.

70th-minute goalmouth header, assured their team of the three points.

El partido de hoy fue uno de esos de los que se pueden sacar muchas conclusiones. Cuando un equipo
llega al descanso por debajo en el marcador y con un hombre menos y termina goleando y humillando
