UOL wrote this “Dois confrontos equilibrados e com poucas oportunidades de gol. Desta forma, jogadores e comissão técnica do Vasco apostam nas partidas contra o Corinthians, pelas quartas de final da Copa Libertadores. A primeira, nesta quarta-feira, às 21h50, em São Januário. O Cruzmaltino espera conseguir uma vantagem mínima, mas acredita que a vaga na semifinal será decidida apenas nos últimos minutos do segundo jogo, dia 23, no Pacaembu.”

It is all over but the shouting in the Argentinos Clausura. Velez Sarsfield wrapped up the title last week when they beat Huracan 2-0.

This is a done deal for El Fortin.

Velez Sarsfield has won the Clausura the last two out of three years.

El Fortin won in 2009.

In 2010 Velez Sarsfield dropped to ninth place in the table.

The battle will be for second place between Lanus, Godoy Cruz, and Argentinos Juniors.

El Granate has 32 points.

Tomba has 31 points.

Bichos Colorados has 29 points.

Lanus is in the drivers seat. All El Granate has to do is win their final match.

Godoy Cruz needs to win and hope that El Granate either loses or ties.

Argentinos Juniors is a long shot to take over second place.

Too many things have to happen for Bichos Colorado to slip past Velez Sarsfield.

Argentinos Juniors needs to win by thirteen goals and hopes that El Fortin loses by thirteen.

This ain’t gonna happen in this lifetime.

The best Bichos Colorados can hope for is that Godoy loses their final match of the season.

If this happens Argentinos Juniors will capture third place.

El Fortin won 2-1 at home but lost on away goals 1-0. The aggregate was tied at two all.

Matias Mier nailed the winner with a great dribble into the box.

His shot flat out beat the keeper top shelf right.

Mate Alejandro Martinuccio set this puppy up with a great pass.

Velez Sarsfield had a chance to advance with a gift PK in the 75^th minute.

Up steps, El Fortin’s Santiago Silva. He wore the choke collar big time.

Silva spilt the uprights.

Big time miss.

Choke City baby.

Game, set, and a trip to the Copa Libertadores finals for the Manyas.

Penarol is one of the most successful futebol clubs in Uruguayan history.

The Manyas have won five Copa Libertadores. The last title came in 1987.

Santos last won the Copa in 1962.

Peixe made the Copa finals in 2003 but lost to Boca Juniors.

This should be a classic battle.

Remember Santos is the home of Pele and Charlie Brown Junior.

Who is Charlie Brown?

He is one of the best rock musicians in Brasil.

Peixe scored three first half goals to jump out to a 3-1 lead.

Cerro Porteno scored two second half goal to make this sucker close.

Neymar (45^th minute) and Ze Eduardo (2^nd minute) ripped the twines for Santos.

The difference in this puppy was an own goal by Porteno’s Diego Barreto in the 28^th minute.

This was a classic keystone cops routine.

Neymar broke free into the offensive zone. This forced the keeper Diego Barreto to leave his line. Defender Pedro Benitez jumped between Neymar and the keeper. Benitez’s noggin hit the ball to the keeper Barreto. Barreto looked like he was swatting butterflies and batted the ball into the back of the net.

Game, set, and match to Peixe.

Peixe has not won the Copa Libertadores since 1963.

Santos also won this sucker in 1962.

Peixe’s last trip to the Copa finals happened 2003.

Santos lost to Boca Juniors.

Uruguayan side Penarol won the first leg 1-0 in their house in Montevideo.

UOL wrote this about the Peixe win- Na classificação do Santos à final da Libertadores após oito anos teve de tudo. Um gol bizarro, o fim do jejum de Zé Eduardo, a marca de Neymar, a expulsão do capitão Edu Dracena e outros três gols do Cerro Porteño. Foi com o empate por 3 a 3, na noite desta quarta-feira, no estádio Olla Azulgrana, em Assunção, no Paraguai, que o alvinegro se classificou. O placar agregado foi 4 a 3 para o time da Vila.

Will Santos win their first Copa title since 1963?

Another European futebol season is in the books. Man U won the EPL. This gives Sir Alex and the boys a record 19 titles.

Both Man U and Liverpool shared the record for most English division one crowns at 18.

Man U made to the Champions League finals the last three out of four years.

The mighty boys from Old Trafford won one and lost twice.

In 2009 and 2011, the Red Devils lost to the cheaters from Barcelona.

The Catalans have one of the best sides on the planet. Barca made Sir Alex and his chargers look like mere mortals.

When the Catalans won the 2009 title, they had a huge Bullseye on their backs.

They crashed and burned in the quarterfinals in 2009.

Will this happen in 2012 competition?

We will surely find out.

Don’t call me Shirley.

Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

Have you ever seen a grown man cry?

Barcelona has one of the best players in the world Lionel Messi.

Messi has performed very well in the league play and the Champions League.

Messi needs now to play lights out on the world stage- The World Cup.

Messi isn’t a Pele.

Close but no cigar.

Pele burst onto the world futebol stage in the 1958 World Cup.

All this cat did was have a hat trick in the semifinals.

Pele then turned around nailed a daily double leading Brasil to the world crown.

Pele was 18 years old.

Will Messi reach Pele’s heights?

Only if he can play lights out and lead Argentinos to the title.

Argentina has a top-notch squad.

Messi, Tevez, Martin Palermo, Juan Riquelme, and Maxi Rodriguez are just some of the world-class players Argentinos has.

In the Clausura Godoy Cruz and Gimnasia tied two all.

Tomba has now fallen to third place.

Top dog is Velez Sarsfield with 30 points.

Second place is Lanus is 29 points.

Godoy is third with 28.

A PK in the 20^th minute and his lay up goal in the 22^nd minute.

The Reading Choo-choo guys made to the First Division for the first time in 2006-07 but were sent packing in after the 2007-08 season.
