Fútbolita

• So Marca gave out one of their futbol awards yesterday in an attempt to find out who’d be the next hombre to join Potter Perez’s gang. Both Diego Forlan and David Villaaaaa received the “Pichichi” award for their service to their clubs and national team respectively. Victor Valdes was totally checking out Villa’s hair gel and you know he thinks his “Zamora” award is a big joke because he won’t be a Madrid man anytime soon. Why else is Wedgeillas still Spain’s #1 choice? As for the Valencia hitman…. ¿Por qué tan serio, David??? Ok, at least he’s smiling here….
• The Brazilian U-17 meninos will face Mexico later tonight, after struggling to beat Japan 3-2. Lucho Nizzo’s man struggled against Japan – despite Neymar’s goal – and needed two own goals to secure a victory.  Ei, acordar caras!! Stop thinking about your girlfriends and your Xbox 360s back at home. Bring home the cup first!
• Maradona Beer! Does anybody want some? It’s called the “10 Maradó” and is the brainchild of (drumroll)… a Mexican named Roberto de Alba. He says that The Dona hasn’t gotten back to him on franchising the name yet… but this is one beer you wouldn’t want to export to Brazil.

• Kaka, Greaseano and Raul The Great One paid a tribute to Markus, the nephew of former Real Madrid player Pedro de Felipe, who is suffering from celebral palsy. The best message came from Xabi Alonso : “The person who buys this shirt will be doing something very important for a child. This has no price. A big hug from Xabi Alonso.” Awww!
