- Oh Ibracadabra… He who looks ever so eloquent! How strange it must have been for him to return to San Siro. Well at least Julio Cesar was kind about the whole thing. Mano bumped into the Swede – who was his former teammate – in the tunnel before last night’s Champions League showdown. “I saw Zlatan before the match and we joked. He told me he’d score against me and I replied that he wouldn’t. Luckily he didn’t have many chances during the match. He only had one chance during the first half and he shot wide. Just as well for us,” said The Caesar.
- Former Coritiba and Fluminense coach, René Simões has found a new job!! Looks like Ranieri recommended the right employment agency to him. These guys are efficient! Anyway, Rene has been tasked to take over the Costa Rican national team and “ensure qualification” for South Africa next year. He’s going to need all the help he can get because they currently lie in fourth place behind Honduras, Mexico and the United States.
- The u-20 World Cup officially kicks off next week and Douglas Costa, Walter and Wellinton Souza are a few of the meninos who will be representing the selecao jovem in Egypt. On the other hand, Spain has Daniel Parejo and Atletico’s keeper, Sergio Asenjo. Unfortunately, Bobojan will miss the tournament through injury.
- Velez Sarsfield knocked out Boca Juniors in the Copa Sudamericana last night after a superb goal from Jonathan Cristaldo. Tipooo blasted the ball in like there was no tomorrow!! Watch for yourself.
