La máquina del Cruz Azul inició ganando la edición 2012 de la Copa Libertadores en calidad de
visitante ante el Nacional de Paraguay, los goles fueron anotados por Javier "Chuleta" Orozco,
mientras que el otro participante mexicano, las Chivas, iniciaron con un empate en casa recibiendo
al Deportivo Quito, el gol de las Chivas fue por conducto de Omar Arellano, como dato interesante,
ambos equipos son los único equipos mexicanos que han logrado llegar hasta la final de esta justa,
ambos la perdieron y han sido dignos representantes de México en la Libertadores.
The beginning of the 2012 Major League Soccer season is right around the corner and the folks
over at MLS Soccer have released their first preseason power rankings. As expected the LA Galaxy
are on top, while the New England Revolution get no love, as MLS Soccer ranks them below the
expansion side Montreal Impact.
Here's another week of former SKC Wizards updates. First, came word last week that Craig Rocastle
will not be playing for the Missouri Comets. Instead he has moved to Greece where he's joined his
former club, Thrasyvoulos Fylis FC, who is currently at the bottom of the second division in
Greece. In other news, Ryan Smith has come out with his side of what happened when he left KC.
If Sporting Kansas City's season had a title, it would be "Night and Day". A tough start to the
season, no doubt spurred on by the never-ending road trip, saw the team open Livestrong Park and
use its great atmosphere ...

Time for another year of wishes for 2012. Here's a look of what I am wanting and wishing to see in
2012.
1. Silverware - Is anything else really that important? I want silverware, as Robb Heineman put it
tonight on Twitter, #paintthewall. I want to add more stuff to the wall that shows our
accomplishments.
With it being New Year's Eve, I figured it was time to take a look back at the 2011 wishes that I'd
posted at the end of last year.
1. Return to the Playoffs - This was filled 100%, not only did KC qualify for the playoffs again,
but the team won the regular season Eastern Conference crown and had home field advantage.
Hoy dÃa de los Inocentes se han programado una serie de partidos de
preparación previos al Torneo de Clausura 2012 y donde participan clubes de La Liga de Ascenso en
contra de equipos de La Primera División.
Aquà los resultados que se han dado:
San Luis 3-0 Correcaminos
Con el efecto todavÃa de la campeonitis el Correcaminos no ha ganado aun en la pretemporada y
ahora pierde este partido ante Los Gladiadores de San Luis en encuentro celebrado
en esa ciudad potosina.
It's been a quite few weeks when it comes to player rumors, really since Omar Bravo left for Cruz
Azul there have been few rumors regarding Sporting KC. As James said in his post regarding this
rumor, it's been campfire talk for a short little while, and it does seem to make sense. Michael
Thomas is currently playing with Ljungskile SK in Sweden.
Another former SKC Wizards Update, plenty of player movement this week. Jonathan Leathers, Rauwshan
McKenzie, and Ryan Pore are now without clubs after not being selected in the second stage of the
re-entry draft. They're joined by Shavar Thomas who also wasn't selected. Also looking for a new
club, is Stephane Auvray whose was let go by the Red Bulls.

By Tony Edwards - San Jose, CA (Dec 13, 2011) US Soccer Players -- In today's edition, Tony asks
about the Galaxy's strategy in the Re-Entry Draft, an American getting a chance to coach aboard,
and a big move for Herculez Gomez. Where's Omar Bravo playing next season? Not Kansas City. He's
headed back to Mexico to play for Cruz Azul next season.
Omar Bravo is gone. David Beckham could be gone. Nicolas Anelka isn't coming.
The Designated Player landscape in MLS is changing and evolving, and even with teams having the
flexibility to go after younger DP options or giving players like league veteran Shalrie Joseph a
DP deal, the lure of landing a big-name, marketable superstar is still prevalent.

Omar Bravo's time in MLS is up.
Sporting Kansas City and top-flight Mexican club Cruz Azul agreed to a deal that will see the
Designated Player return to his native country after one season in MLS. No terms of the deal were
disclosed.

The rumors have been around basically since the season ended. The fact that Omar Bravo had only
played 5 minutes in Sporting KC's playoff run certainly did nothing to temper those rumors. In the
offseason Bravo's been linked with every club in Guadalajara, from Chivas to cash strapped Tecos.

Tigres is the winner of the Mexican Apertura Championship. Huge win! Congrats to them.

Sporting Kansas City has agreed to release Omar Bravo so he can return to Mexico and play for Cruz
Azul in the upcoming Clausura.
-I have no idea what this really means.
We thought the Omar Bravo rumors were dead, but it turns out that they in fact are not. A Tweet
today from Jorge Ramos with ESPN Deportes said "Omar Bravo will not play again in Kansas City
problems with the coach." A few days after we heard that Peter Vermes and Bravo had a conversation
with what was said to be a good conversation and a week or so after news came out that Bravo wasn't
going to go on loan, this news comes out.

Took a little while for me to get this post out due to all the stuff that's been going on since
Sporting KC's season ended. But here's a look at my post season grades.
Korede Aiyegbusi - INC - Only played 94 minutes for KC in league play this year, not enough to
warrent a grade.
Davy Arnaud - C+ - Missed quite a bit of time after having hernia surgery, and once back found
himself as a back up to the midfield trio of Cesar, Espinoza, and Zusi.
Some quick bits of news on four Kansas City players from this past season. First, with regards to
the re-entry draft (more on the draft as a whole later). Kansas City has two players that have been
played into the draft, Luke Sassano and Shavar Thomas. Neither one is incredibly surprising. Thomas
was 100% expected after he wasn't waived, the Jamaican international made only 3 substitute
appearances in MLS play this past season.

Sporting KC made 4 more roster moves today, waiving four players before today's waiver draft. KC
waived Jeferson, Craig Rocastle, Milos Stojcev, and Scott Lorenz. Jeferson Rocastle, and Stojcev
all three take up international spots that are now open to be used next year.
Wednesday's MLS Expansion Draft provides the Montreal Impact a chance to build the foundation
for its MLS roster, and the club will have some decisions to make based on how much it wants to
spend and which direction it wants to go off the bat.
Designated Players Julian de Guzman, Andres Mendoza, Mustapha Jarju, Branko Boskovic, Frank
Rost, Milton Caraglio, Omar Bravo and Jeferson are all free for the taking (although Rost is likely
to return to Germany after a few-month stay with New York), giving the Impact the option to make a
major investment immediately.
Today the league released the list of players that have been exposed by their teams for Wednesday's
expansion draft for the Montreal Impact. Plenty of arguments are made about how bad the expansion
draft is. Teams do work to develop players than have to lose one of those players to an expansion
team.
Are the 2011 L.A. Galaxy the best team in the history of MLS?
Is David Beckham's MLS career over?
Those seem to be the questions everyone's contemplating after last night's 1-0 MLS Cup victory.
(Along with this lesser one: Did you ever think a player could be so awful that you'd pine for Chad
Barrett?
Well it sounds like you can rule another team out of the running for Omar Bravo's services during
the MLS offseason. Previously Atlas had ruled it out due to lack of funds. Although Bravo moving
there was unlikely due to his history with their main rival Chivas. But today from ESPN Deportes
comes word that Estudiantes Tecos is now out of the running as well.
