Costa Rica

Der var en kamp i nat. I det sydøstlige Costa Rica spillede Limón hjemme mod Alajuelense. Jeffrey Montoya fra Limón scorede kampens eneste mål efter 67 min. Dermed har mesterholdet fra Alajuela kun 1 point efter 2 kampe. Men der er selvfølgelig lang vej endnu.

@ Dibben - jae er også lidt bagud her ...mangler lidt opdateringer fra Chile, Ecuador og Bolivia - man kan vist roligt sige The Strongest ikke har fået den bedste start.

Internacional admit deal could be done for Leandro Damião

Internacional have admitted that a deal could be struck for star striker Leandro Damião today but warn clubs that they will have to move quickly.

Tottenham are reportedly preparing a deadline day swoop for the striker with talks of a £20m bid being lodged but the club says a deal would need to be done quickly.

"Leandro Damião will only leave if there is a very quick negotiation," Luis Cesar Souto de Moura told Sky Sports. "But no official offer has been made."

The director of football also revealed that there is still interest in the 23-year-old from Tottenham but made it clear that he felt a deal would be difficult in the short time frame.

"The news involving interest for Leandro Damião, especially from Tottenham, will always happen, they come and go," he added.

"Damião has a lot of quality, is a goalscorer, was the top scorer in the Olympics and he is a very important player.

"Internacional understand that it´s extremely difficult, very difficult, for Leandro Damião to leave now."

Grêmio fans taken to hospital after pile up at Arena Grêmio


Grêmio fans were admitted to hospital after an incident at the Arena Grêmio where fences collapsed under a crowd pile up.

Midfielder Elano had given the hosts the lead when celebrations amongst the fans led to a pile up near the protection barriers at the edge of the pitch which caused the fences to collapse.

Ten fans were taken to hospital for medical treatment but none is thought to be life threatening.

The incident raises serious concerns for the 2014 World Cup, occurring just days after the Santa Maria tragedy where more than 230 nightclubbers died in a blaze.

Although the Arena Grêmio is not one of the designated stadiums hosting the World Cup, it is one of the newest arenas and as such isvery similar to the new stadiums being purpose built for the competition.

Chief engineer Eduardo Antonini, who oversaw the construction project, was quick to assure investigations would be carried out: "It is an engineering matter, and we want to achieve 100% safety," he told SporTV.

"We will carry out the necessary technical analysis, and look through the details calmly tomorrow. We do not want further injuries at the stadium."

Neymar accuses Ituano coach of racial abuse

Santos´ Neymar has blasted Ituano manager Roberto Fonseca, claiming that he was the subject of racial abuse from the coach.

The Seleção star became embroiled in a touchline spat with Fonseca and furiously asked the coach whether he had called him a ´monkey´.

TV cameras heard Neymar protest “Did you call me a monkey?", while the Santos forward then turned to the officials for their help in the incident.

Fonseca denied the accusations, saying he only called Neymar a “cai-cai”, a diver, whilst also accusing Neymar of “being deaf.”

It remains to be seen if any action will be taken over the allegations as the CBF are yet to comment on the events.

Santos secured a 1-0 win in the Campeonato Paulista fixture with a Cicero goal after the break to remain top of the league, level on points with Ponte Preta.

Gago til Vélez er officiel.

En lejeaftale med option på 3,5mio. (like that´s going to happen).

Skide, fattige argentinere...

Velez Sarsfield har siden starten af 90`erne været en ren succeshistorie. De er sammen med River Plate og Boca Juniors den mest vindende klub i Argentina i de seneste 20 år. Jeg synes Fernando Gago er en undervurderet spiller. Han har haft nogle udsving i sin karierre helt sikkert, men jeg synes han er en klassespiller.

Colombianske Dorlan Pabón på leje i Betis fra italienske Parma.
- Lidt konkurrence til andibs Campbell.

Venezuelanske Darwin Machís på leje i portugisiske Vitória S.C. fra Granada.
- Godt for stortalentet, der imponerede under netop overståede U20-mesterskab.

Chilenske Pedro Morales på leje i Málaga fra kroatiske Dinamo Zagreb.

Gago er uden tvivl stadig en klassespiller, men var totalt fejlcasted i rollen som defensivmidt af daværende træner Pellegrino (Vélez-mand).

Hvad helvede lige det nu?!? Det vil være flabet at spille Pabón søndag i stedet for Campbell. Så skal i se en klub få et helt land på nakken...

Hvor er det fedt med Pabon i Betis!
