El delantero brasileño formó una dupla letal con Radamel Falcao García y redondeó una temporada a todo festejo con el Porto portugués. Aunque se cansó de gritar goles imitando al científico que se convertía en un monstruo verde, le escapa al ruido mediático y se apega a la familia. Pese a su potencia extrema, velocidad y técnica es casi desconocido en Brasil; contrató una asesoría de imagen para llegar a la Selección y aspira a cubrir el hueco que dejó la despedida de Ronaldo, su ídolo.

Ah hell. Not this shit again.

Oh joy. We've reached that special day of days in which insanity and panic trumps all. Well, you know, perhaps it's money that trumps all. Yeah, it's the cake.

This is January transfer deadline day. A war amongst men. Not really, but you know what I'm getting at.

Atletico Madrid's revival under new coach Diego Simeone continued on Monday as Diego Godin fired the winner in a battling 1-0 victory at Osasuna that lifted Atletico up to seventh in La Liga.

The Uruguay defender bundled in from close range at a corner just before the break and forwards Adrian and Radamel Falcao missed gilt-edged chances to extend the lead.

Uruguayan international defender Jorge Fucile has reportedly welcomed interest from both Liverpool and Chelsea.
The Reds were linked with a move for the player in the summer, and have again emerged on the radar in the past week as Kenny Dalglish looks to add some strength-in-depth to his defence.

Liverpool is reportedly considering a January raid on Chelsea midfield target Fernando Reges.
The 24-year-old FC Porto star has emerged as one of a number of players in the position who is of interested to the club, according to The Daily Mail, with Celtic's Beram Kayal another player on the club's transfer radar.

After 3 seasons of seeing magical football displayed by arguably the best football team ever assembled I asked myself if it could ever get better than this. The answer is YES!

Arsene Wenger is a happy man this morning. He was able to watch his young side triumph in Italy last night, after a tough week that's been riddled with doubt, apprehension and harsh criticism from every possible angle.

Arsenal were able to overcome a tricky Udinese side, and with Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie both getting on the scoresheet, The Gunners were able to progress to the group stages of the Champions League.

Falcao received a rapturous response Monday as ten thousand jubilant Atletico Madrid fans turned out to greet the club's new record signing, Colombian striker Radamel Falcao.

The Colombia striker joined La Liga club Atletico on a five-year contract from Porto earlier this month, for a reported fee of 40 million euros.

Porto have said that they have received a bid from Atletico Madrid for their Colombia striker Radamel Falcao and Portugal midfielder Ruben Micael.

"We announce that we have received an offer from Atletico Madrid to sign Radamel Falcao and Ruben Micael, and this is being considered by the club," Porto said in a statement.

Looks like Atletico Madrid are getting ready to use some of the money they got from the sale of Sergio Aguero and David De Gea as Porto striker Radamel Falcao has come out and said that he would be interested in a move to Atletico.

Rojiblanco fans will be buoyed by the news that the 25-year-old is keen on a move across the border and specifically to the Vicente Calderon.

Alejandro Bedoya must have made quite the impression on Rangers FC.

Having just agreed to a pre-contract with Bedoya that would see him join the club during the winter transfer window, Rangers wants to acquire the U.S. national team midfielder sooner.

The end of Colombia came almost anticlimactically in extra time after 90 minutes of spectacular shots which had both goalies jack knifing through the air, a missed penalty by Radamel Falcao, and two reprieves for Peru as the ball blasting Dayro Moreno and Fredy Guarin threatened to end the match.

Not even homefield advantage was enough to help Argentina put an end to its trophy drought.

Argentina was knocked out of the Copa America at the Santa Fe Stadium on Saturday night, losing to Uruguay, 5-4, in a penalty kick shootout after playing to a 1-1 draw.

Colombia has a thing for disappointing when you are expecting something from them. In this tournament they had been great, winning their group ahead of Argentina, and seemingly with some of their players, such as Freddy Guarín and Radamel Falcao, in great shape. On the other hand, Perú had only ended third in its group, working hard, but without impressing.

So it's pretty much a known fact that Emmanuel Adebayor is a dead cert to leave Manchester City. Manager Roberto Mancini admitted that the sooner the Togolese striker leaves the club; the better is the opinion of the Italian. Adebayor already wants his move to Real Madrid, where he spent the latter half of last season on loan.

It took longer than expected, but Argentina finally had a reason to celebrate.

Argentina recorded its first win of the Copa America, topping Costa Rica, 3-0, on Monday night in the final match of Group A. The victory advanced the albiceleste to the quarterfinals as it finished in second place of the group with five points.

Radamel Falcao. Il bomber del Porto, fresco vincitore dell'Europa League con la squadra lusitana, prende per mano la Colombia e la trascina ai quarti di finale della Coppa America. Sua la doppietta che stende definitivamente la Bolivia (eliminata dai giochi) e regala il primo posto matematico (con 7 punti) alla nazionale di Hernan Dario Gomez [.

Colombia could, with a victory against Bolivia today, make sure that they would be winners of group A, in front of either Argentina or Costa Rica (who are playing tomorrow). Colombia had no problems winning 2-0 on two goals by the FC Porto striker Radamel Falcao. With Falcao scoring goals, a solid defense (they have conceded no goals) and an excellent midfield, Colombia has looked as the best

A worried Checho Batista faced with a must win against Costa Rica

Watching Leo Messi, a shadow of himself struggle against Colombia throws into sharp relief the magnificent Barca midfield that makes goalscoring look so easy. The Albiceleste should on first look fare just as well with their squad teaming with the creative talent the likes of Ezequiel Lavezzi, Ever Banega, Javier Pastore, Fernando Gago, Esteban Cambiasso, and Angel Di Maria.

Copa America 2011: Argentina continue to stutter and what is wrong with Messi? is a post from: Just Football

So it seems that, in Argentina, even the wind can tackle Messi. Sure, the Barcelona phenomenon may have banged in over 50 goals in all competitions during the domestic season. But in the company of his fellow compatriots the poor guy just cannot catch a break.

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.

Este mes de julio se disputará la 43ª edición, bastantes ya que este campeonato es de los más añejos del mundo y data desde 1916, aunque con el nombre actual apenas será la número catorce. Además siguen recurriendo a invitados, principalmente México que no pertenece a la Conmebol pero que estará participando ya por octava vez, y para completar los grupos con los 12 equipos se invita a otro que varía entre los equipos de Concacaf y Japón que estaba considerado este año pero por los desastres naturales no podrá participar en la copa que se disputa en Argentina, país que ha ejercido de anfitrión en más ocasiones con diferencia, aunque en la actualidad se trata de rotarla en todo el territorio sudamericano.

The Copa America begins in earnest tomorrow so, to mark the occasion, Pies have cobbled together a list of ten of the most exciting talents to keep your peepers on throughout the tournament...

1. Neymar, Brazil

Let's get the obvious one out of the way up top shall we?

River Plate will be playing in the second tier "Nacional B" next season

So the unthinkable has happened in Argentina as record champions River Plate, who have won the domestic league on 33 occasions, finally face up to the grim reality of second division football next season. This is because River was forced to meet Belgrano de Cordoba in a two match promotion/relegation play-off, which they lost 3-1 on aggregate, having ended the 2010-11 season with the fourth worst average points record over the last three seasons.

The world of one part of Argentina's top two clubs, Club Atletico River Plate (referred simply as River Plate in most circles) is on the brink of disaster. Having suffered defeat to CA Lanus (2-1 at home) the club then faced the prospect of a two-leg playoff with second division outfit Belgrano for a place in next seasons Premier Division.

F.C. Porto striker Radamel Falcao looks set to leave this summer, regardless of the uncertainty surrounding club manager Andre Villas-Boas. According to talkSPORT, Falcao has decided to leave the Portuguese club, with Chelsea and Arsenal ...

The supposedly imminent arrival of Andrea Villas-Boas at Chelsea could finally mean some transfer movement involving two of Porto's most sought after players.

Villas-Boas has emerged from nowhere to become a 1/7 bookies favourite to take over at the Bridge after a season in which he emulated Jose Mourinho by taking his Porto side to a historic treble.
