The financial hard times are hitting everyone these days. Reports are coming of out Argentina that some of the big clubs are hurting. They are so deep in debt that they may not be able to meet payroll.

It is reported that these debts are well over ten million dollars a piece for River Plate, Independiente, San Lorenzo, Newell’s Old Boys, Huracan, Racing, and Rosario Central.

Will the big boys push back the start of the season? It may happen AFA President Julio Grondona implied.

One of the lower level futebol leagues in Argentina will postponed the start of their spring and summer season for at least fifteen days.

How’s that hope and change working for ya?

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal Real Madrid when he booted home a PF kick in the 48^th minute. Real Madrid defeated Quito 4-2 in the Peace Cup. Quito hung in there for the first half before the big boys from Spain turned up the heat and scorched em in the second half. 

The Ecuadorian side kept it close throughout. It was nice display of offensive fireworks by both sides.

Never underestimate the power of South American futebol. Most folks forget that South American futebol is very good. Four out of the last five winners of The FIFA World Club Futebol Championship were from South America.

Man U barely got by Quito 1-0 to the 2009 FIFA World Club Futebol Title.

If you think, I am lying, check out the facts. Facts don’t lie unless you make them up like the New York Times, the LA Times, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and the rest of the state run media.

Brasilian club Santos just signed Emerson. Emerson has been out of futebol since April 2009. He did not resign with AC Milan.

Santos is making some changes in their lineup. Rodrigo Mancha will start for Santos against Nautico in Recife later tonight. Wagner Diniz, Eli Sabia, and Kleber Pereira will also start against Nautico as well. Headman Luxemburgo is making four changes to the starting lineup. We will see how this works against bottom feeder Nautico.
