Let see if we can update.

Couple of things in the news. Some of them are just rumors so if you can confirm it. Do not hesitate.

* Casano goes to Madrid. Good player, don't see the point. Cicinho is already in Madrid, great player! Ballack is most likely to be a Galactico next season, Madrid also wants Totti and Gerard.

* There is a rumor that says that Barcelona is talking to Henry and Lampard. They both like the idea of going to Barcelona instead of Madrid.

* AC Milan wants Ronaldinho for next season not matter what!

* River defeated Boca Jrs. 3-0 in the championsphip of the verano tournament. Boca did not play their best players.

* Bruno Marioni is most likely to leave Pumas. He has some offers to go to Europe but I think he is going to Boca Jrs.

* Cristiano Ronaldo is having issues with Nistelroy in ManU.

* Beckam said that after his contract with Madrid is over, he wants to come to the US.

* Juventus is doing very strong in the Italian League. "The Old Lady" is a serious contender for the European Cup.

* Experts of soccer think that if Ronaldinho does well in this World Cup, he can be the next Pele.

* Lionel Messi is getting all the attention in Europe. Everybody think of Messi as the new Diego Armando Maradona.

* Most of the Argentinian fans do not beleive their national team is a contender to bring the glass home from Germany.

* Deportivo Saprisa (Costa Rica) who is the Champion in CONCACAF (our region) lost to Liverpool in the Worl Club semifinal 3-0. Saprissa defeated Kansa City Wizard (US) and Pumas (Mexico) in their way to the CONCACAF championship.

* MLS did not take the invitation of CONMEBOL to assist to Copa Libertadores 2006. The same with US National Team not taking the invitation to Copa America.

I think if Saprissa who was representing our area lost to Liverpool 3-0, that is the diffenrece between our level and Europeans. Why MLS does not want to participate in La Copa Libertadores? The same with the US national team in La Copa America? Interesting.
