Si no pudiste ver el partido de hoy el clásico español, el que paraliza al mundo futbolistico,
te cuento lo siguiente,fue en resumen muy similar al partido anterior, error del portero al inicio
del juego Real Madrid se adelanta, echa el camion atras y Barcelona en el segundo tiempo remonta y
le pone un baile a los merengues en su propia casa.
28.12.2011 - A un mes del esperado y temido superclásico de verano (2012), Boca (que ya
largó los afiches del día del inocente) anuncia que para la cita "estelar" utilizará
indumentaria atípica: el modelo camisa a bastones negros y blancos, la primera que usó el club
allá por 1905 (según datos históricos reflotados por la marca Nike).
Como pasa con muchos jugadores de futbol actual, pasan desapercibidos por poner atención a los que
las marcas deportivas nos quieren hacer ver como los unicos, los iluminados, Andres Iniesta pasaria
como uno mas,pero no es así. Recordemos que el futbol es un deporte de conjunto, donde las
individualidades brillaran siempre y cuando su equipo lo desee asi,por meritos y por grandes
momentos y hazañas.
Los conteos y recopilaciones la mayoria de las veces son injustos y odiosos, en esta ocasion sin
afan de generar polemica traigo hasta ustedes el top 10 de los mejores goles entre estos equipos
que levantan pasiones, 101 grandes goles lo hizo, pero aqui los primeros diez ordenados
cronologicamente.
As usual, there is plenty of action taking place on U.S. television this weekend, but let's face
it, there's one match that dominates the schedule. This past weekend, Manchester United faltered
and dropped to second in the English Premier League behind intercity rival Manchester City and also
lost the top spot to its hated adversary in the latest WCR Top 25 Clubs in the World.
One game. Everything on the line.
This is the stuff that rivalries are made of.
Philadelphia Union vs. the New York Red Bulls. On national TV. It's so on.
If Philadelphia wins, the Red Bulls go home for a long winter. Their disastrous season is over.
The Union win the Eastern Conference and home field advantage if they make it to the conference
finals.
At first if you don't succeed, try, and try again.
Los Angeles Galaxy forward Chad Barrett must have been uttering those words at halftime of LA's
Superclasico matchup against Chivas USA. The Galaxy forward had numerous chances in the first half,
but it wasn't until the 53rd minute when Barrett finally broke through, as his header off an Adam
Cristman cross finally found the back of the net, and that strike was all Los Angeles needed to
hold off Chivas USA on Sunday evening at the Home Depot Center.

The warm-up to today's Galaxy-Chivas USA main event (live at 6 p.m. on ESPN) ended in a 1-0 win
last night for the Chivas USA supporters group due to a defensive error, I'm told.
Who knows whether that portends anything when it comes to today's almost sold out derby, which
in one respect doesn't mean a thing.
As far as intense rivalries go, you can't find many more intense than the Rome Derby.
Roma and Lazio always produce some of the most intese matches in Europe, and today should be no
different as the Serie A powers collide. Both teams have gotten off to slow starts in league play,
and are currently tied on points, but today's derby could help catapult one of them up the
standings.
*You know what they say about Paris in the spring, but what about fall in France?:
CHICAGO (AP) -- The U.S. soccer team will play an exhibition at France on Nov. 11, the
first meeting between the nations in 32 years.
The game was announced today and will be played at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, outside
Paris, the site of the 1998 World Cup final.
I don't often find myself in the position of defending the Los Angeles Galaxy. After all, the
club's ownership group (AEG) wields a mighty sword around MLS, which is why the Galaxy is about to
host its fourth MLS Cup final in nine years. That's a dandy rate – especially considering there
are now eight MLS-controlled stadiums that have yet to host a league final.
The Los Angeles Galaxy clinched their second consecutive Supporters' Shield trophy on Saturday
night when the Seattle Sounders dropped a 2-0 result to the Philadelphia Union.
Los Angeles has 64 points with two games remaining and with their regular season championship,
the Galaxy will have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, including the 2011 MLS Cup
Final, which is scheduled to be played at Home Depot Center.
You know you've made it when the boy with the slick
Cristiano hairdo (upper right) squashes his forehead and nose into the window of
the bus you're in... just for a glimpse of you! Nevermind that he isn't doing his magic for
Flamengo, it's Ronaldinho one of Brazil's favourite prodigal sons!

An old-school California derby renews itself this weekend when Los Angeles and San Jose get
together at Buck Shaw Stadium.
Although the Superclasico between the Galaxy and Chivas USA has gotten most of the state's
rivalry headlines in recent years, the Los Angeles-San Jose feud has more history on its side.
Game of the Week NY Red Bulls 2, Houston 2 So why this game? Why not the Superclasico? Or Seattle's
late-game dramatics? Short answer: there were some lively finishes this week, but not a whole lot
of lively 90s. I could've just as easily pointed you in the direction of that 2-1 Philly/Chicago
game, but God help you if you're a Fire fan this year.

CARSON, Calif – The season's first installment of the 'SuperClasico' was build as being a
tougher match-up than it has been in recent years, and that proved to be the case on Saturday night
as a Chad Barrett goal proved to be the difference in the Los Angeles Galaxy's 1-0 victory against
Chivas USA at the Home Depot Center.
The only intracity rivalry is here, the SuperClasico between the LA Galaxy and Chivas USA.
Both teams are coming off impressive victories, the Galaxy with a 4-1 victory over Sporting KC
while the Rojiblancos went on the road to defeat the New York Red Bulls, 3-2. In this, the 21st
Clasico in Los Angeles history, both teams are incredibly hot and will likely create a lively
match.
This evening the Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA meet at the Home Depot Center for the first
2011 installment of the so-called "SuperClasico". For most of its history the clash has been less
than Super with the Galaxy dominating the outcomes. The only time parity has even been a
conversation piece was during the Alexi Lalas as GM years when the team imploded,
especially 2007 and 2008.

The MLS version of the "SuperClasico" has never quite lived up to the billing, or ever
really been a rivalry worthy of an elaborate nickname. That may change this season though, with
Chivas USA looking like a team ready to be a true rival to its neighbors, the Los Angeles
Galaxy.

The SuperClasico has been a one-sided affair of late, with the Los Angeles Galaxy unbeaten in
the battle for Home Depot Center bragging rights since 2007. But with three wins in four games and
only one loss since March, Chivas USA seems poised to give the Galaxy a run for its money when the
clubs meet Saturday.
Best-SuperClasico-photo-ever: Damn, I miss Jesse Marsch.
Take a stroll down SuperClasico memory lane with a look back at these games between Chivas USA
and the Galaxy over (almost) the last three years:
*Oct. 3, 2010: Chivas USA 1 Galaxy 2
*April 1, 2010: Galaxy 2 Chivas USA 0
*Nov.
*MLS confirmed this morning that the much-discussed Real Madrid-Chivas friendly at Qualcomm
Stadium is a go with the date set for Wednesday, July 20 as expected. That gives Southern
California fans two chances to see Cristiano Ronaldo et al; the Galaxy play in a
previously-announced game against the Spanish powerhouse July 16 at the Coliseum.

For the first time all season, there's a change at the top of the SBI MLS Power Rankings.

Ante la ausencia de Héctor Baldassi - operado de urgencia por un caso de apendicitis - el joven
Patricio Loustau tomó su lugar. Fue designado el sábado para dirigir el partido (en lugar de
Carlos Maglio quien se mantuvo como cuarto árbitro). Y de hecho lo hizo de muy buena manera.

Una vez terminado el partido, con "diario del lunes", no dudo en decir que Boca se encargó de
hacer todo lo posible para que River se lleve la victoria de visitante tras 7 años. Sin embargo,
el equipo de Juan José López no aprovechó ese favor y perdió 2-0 con goles de Juan Pablo
Carrizo en contra y Martín Palermo (este sería su último Superclásico).
By DAVID MOSSE
It took only three minutes midway through the first half for Boca Juniors to take control of the
latest Superclasico, as the home side came away with a 2-0 victory Sunday in La Bombonera. River
Plate goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo was expected to be a key figure in this showdown between the
two eternal nemeses, and Carrizo played his part in a negative way in the final result.
Por Gastón del Torto / @g_deltorto
La ventaja con la que corre el equipo de Juan José López es la regularidad. Cada hincha o
habitué de River sabe a qué y cómo juega el equipo. Después, naturalmente, puede compartir o
no, pero lo sabe. De hecho es uno de los pocos en el campeonato que tiene la famosa "columna
vertebral": arquero, defensor, cinco tapón, enlace y punta.

Three goals were scored in the span of five minutes during the first half of Chivas USA's 3-1
victory over the Los Angeles Galaxy in a MLS Reserve League SuperClasico on Tuesday.
Chivas rookie Victor Estupinan netted the opener in the 31st minute, but Hector Jimenez
equalized for Los Angeles four minutes later.
Our long national nightmare is over. The MLS schedule is out.
About a month before the beginning of the season, MLS finally released the entire schedule for
all 18 MLS teams. Previously, only each team's first home game was known, and some clubs like the
LA Galaxy got an early jump on releasing the schedule by leaking the dates and opponents of some
key matches.

Pavone abrió el marcador
(´7) y superaba al primo dormido. Pero Chichizola dejó boyando una pelota y Martín (Pescador)
Palermo lo empató (´25). Entonces Ríver desapareció y el partido se transformó en un
híbrido lamentable (1-1) que le sirvió a Boca para terminar como campeón invicto del verano
(2011).
