Hace 40 años, el 19 de diciembre de 1971, el estadio Monumental de Núñez fue protagonista de la
apasionante semifinal del Torneo Nacional entre los dos grandes de Rosario: Central y Newell's. Los
Canallas vencieron 1-0 con un legendario gol de palomita de Aldo Pedro Poy.
Tres dÃas después, Rosario Central derrotaba 2-1 a San Lorenzo en el Parque Independencia y
conquistaba el primer tÃtulo de AFA de su historia, pero en el corazón de los hinchas la victoria
en aquella semifinal contra el clásico y eterno rival serÃa el momento más recordado.
As a recently graduated high school senior, attacking center midfielder Morgan Brian already has
career stats that any soccer pro would envy. This past spring season she led her high school,
Fredericka Academy in St. Simons, Georgia, to a 17-2-1 record and a fourth straight Georgia
Independent School Association Class AA state title.
Now in its 26th year of honoring the nation's elite high school athletes with the Gatorade
Player of the Year award, The Gatorade Company presented the ninth annual Gatorade High School
Athlete of the Year awards to the nation's best overall male and female high school athletes this
evening.
In the female category, senior Morgan Brian of Frederica Academy received the 2010-11 Gatorade
High School Athlete of the Year award at a dinner reception in Los Angeles.
Stuart Holden is bringing in the post-season awards...
Despite missing a good portion of the second half of the season with a knee injury, Stuart
Holden appears to be Bolton Wanderers' unanimous Player of the Year. Two nights ago, at the
club's end-of-season banquet, Holden took home the club's POY award, as well as the media's (not to
mention he won the same honor from the Bolton Wanderers Supporters Association a month
earlier).

U.S. national team centerback Clarence Goodson is going to be entering the Gold Cup on a good
run of form.
Goodson scored his second goal of the season for Danish outfit Brondby, heading home a corner

The amazing Marta won her fifth consecutive FIFA player of the year award Monday, ahead of
Germany's Fatmire Bajramaj and Birgit Prinz.
Hosted at the Zurich Kongresshaus, the evening's FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala raised the curtain on the
new decade in style. Attracting the cream of the soccer world, who had come to pay tribute to the
leading players and coaches of 2010, the event reached its long-awaited climax with the award of
the inaugural FIFA Ballon d'Or, a fusion of the FIFA World Player of the Year award and France
Football magazine's Ballon d'Or.
