SEGUNDO SEMPRE
Televisión brasileña
Es O Rei de los amargos
Bien sabemos que O Rei siempre intentó, sin éxito, ningunear a Maradona, por celos, envidia, vaya uno a saber. Y ahora parece que quiere hacer lo mismo con Messi. "La verdad, no tuve la chance de ver el gol que le hizo al Getafe", dijo Edson Arantes. Parece increíble, dado que cualquier ser humano abría la heladera de su casa y pum, pasaban el gol... En fin, después intentó arreglarla: "Debe haber sido muy bonito". Tarde”.
“Según la prensa mundial, el gol de Messi hace que el Milan sueñe con Ronaldinho Gaucho.
Según la prensa brasilera, Ronaldinho va a hacer varias jugadas espectaculares que van a opacar el gol de Messi.La prensa local recuerda que Ronaldinho es un genio porque siempre hace varias jugadas espectaculares, no una cada 100 años.Algunos comentaristas locales deportivos recalcan que en realidad, Ronaldinho deberá volver a hacer sus lindas jugadas que hacen al mundo babear”.

Alan Ball 1945-2007
Alan Ball's loss is as much England's loss as football's loss, judging by all the column inches devoted to him by the press since he collapsed of a heart attack at his Hampshire home on the 25th April at the age of just 61.
Ball will always be remembered for the part he played in England's only World Cup triumph. He was the youngest member of the team that lifted the Jules Rimet trophy at Wembley in on the 30th July 1966.
Born on Victory Day, 12th May 1945, Ball overcame early rejection in his career when Bolton told him he'd never be big enough to play football.
He joined Blackpool in 1962, and six weeks after the World Cup, Everton paid a then record fee of £110,000 for the all-action aggressive midfield maestro. He then helped the Toffees win the League Championship in 1970 before being transferred to Arsenal in 1971 for £220,000, another record fee at the time.
In 1975 Ball won the last of his 72 England caps, skippering England to a 5-1 demolition of Scotland at Wembley.
He signed for Southampton in 1976, before joining the North American Soccer League in 1978.
In 1980 he returned to England and had brief spells with Blackpool, Southampton and Bristol Rovers before hanging up his boots in May 1983 after 975 first-team games.
His managerial career never touched the heights he enjoyed as a player. He managed seven clubs in 19 years including Southampton, Manchester City and Pompey.
Despite the ups and downs he never allowed his enthusiasm for the game to waver. He loved football and he loved life.
In 2000 he was awarded the MBE for services to football.
Ball's other sporting passion was horses. He was a racing aficionado. He would talk endlessly about horse racing, and could often be spotted among the crowds on a summers day at Goodwood or on freezing winter days at Fontwell.
Off the pitch Alan was a devoted family man. He was married to his childhood sweetheart Lesley for 37 years. They had three children - Mandy, now 39, Keely, 35 and son Jimmy, 31.
Tragedy struck the family in 2004 when Lesley died of cancer aged 57.
Alan Ball had also suffered personal tragedy back in 1982, when his father died in a road traffic accident.
Alan Ball was a gentleman, a real man's man and his place in the folklore of the game and the heart of the nation is secure. He will be sadly missed.
Sincere condolences go out to his family.
Alan Ball - Rest In Peace.
*England's current players will wear black armbands as a mark of respect for Alan Ball in their first game at the new Wembley against Brazil on the 1st June.

Sigue el paro en la Redó
En un clima hostil, los trabajadores del sitio encabezados por Pastor comunican que mantienen el paro de actividades hasta nuevo aviso realizando la toma pacifica de su lugares de trabajo, así lo resolvieron en la asamblea extraordinaria realizada ayer por la tarde. Asimismo a través del delegado Pep se elevó la propuesta a la patronal: sueldo básico que cubra la canasta familiar y un aumento retroactivo del 23%. En tanto, xcos aduce que ya no vende suficientes remeras para subvencionar tal aumento y pide tiempo para negociar, según informó el vocero de la empresa, Perplatado. La medida de fuerza lleva ya 3 días.

River es esto
2000-2001
“Desde ese momento se podía fácilmente observar que Lionel Messi era dueño de las características propias de jugador estrella. Estuvo a punto de incorporarse a River para seguir los pasos de su ídolo, Pablo Aimar, pero en medio de las gestiones, mediante un control medico de rutina, se le diagnostico un retraso en el crecimiento (desarrollo de la estructura ósea) a causa de un déficit en la producción de la hormona del crecimiento, cuyo tratamiento era cercano a los 1000 dólares mensuales. Existía en ese entonces un tratamiento disponible pero la familia de Leo Messi no podía afrontar el gasto ya que su padre era un simple trabajador de la industria metalúrgica y solamente recibía una escasa ayuda de su Obra Social y de la Fundación Acindar. River tampoco quiso hacerse cargo.”
“Mientras, ya empezaron los recortes: no se hizo uso de la opción por Carlos Chacana. "Es de locos. Entre alquiler, sueldo y préstamo, costó 180.000 dólares. Y apenas jugó un par de partidos en la Libertadores (en la altura de Quito y de La Paz) y un par de amistosos", dijo una fuente dirigencial”.
“Este miércoles, además, se sumará el delantero Pablo Sabbag, ex Argentinos Juniors, quien tenía el pase en su poder y estará a préstamo por un año. El futbolista es hijo de Máximo, vocal titular de la directiva de River, y antiguo opositor a la conducción de Pintado”.

Voce um fabulador
Hace unos años escribí un post en la temporalmente caida Redó donde afirmaba que los mejores 4 goles de la historia de los mundiales habian sido argentinos. Y eso antes de los 25 toques del 2006 o la volea de Maxi. Lo dije porque los muchachos de O GLOBO habian elegido el no gol de Pelé como el mejor y la jugada del diez a Inglaterra ni siquiera figuraba en el penoso ranking. Algunos me tildarán de arlequinero pero ahora con lo del gol de Messi me surge una pregunta:
¿Por qué los brasileros no pueden hacer un gol así?
Tomemos a Pelé, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, y Robinho. No perdamos el tiempo ni con Zico, ni con Romario, ni con Rivaldo, ni con Kaká porque no da.
Empecemos con Pelé.
Pelé tuvo que salir a in-ven-tar que el mejor gol que habia hecho en su vida no habia sido filmado. Jaja….Andá!!!. El mejor gol de la historia de Pelé son unos muñecos de Winning Eleven en modo training.
No, no es este famoso que erró con el arco libre. Sino este.
Para los que no entienden nada y piensan que la sobredosis de Playstation los está haciendo ver visiones. Acá los “amigos” de Pelé imaginan el gol que no fue.
¿Estaban todos en la cancha como el día que debutó el D10s? ¿Cómo lo vieron si no fue filmado? ¿Que hacia Rivelino viendo al Santos? Afloja con el joystick brazuca…Me parece que lo “copiaron” de acá.
Sigamos con R10. Ronaldinho el gol mas importante de su vida se lo hizo a la selección de Haití. Hai-ti!!. Un país en permanente guerra civil, que paga para figurar en el puesto 86 del ranking FIFA arriba de Bolivia, Canadá y Nueva Zelanda para hacer propaganda pero es uno de los paises mas pobres del mundo (con una esperanza de vida de 53 años) y que hace de local en Miami por sus problemas politicos. Bueno el gol mas importante en la carrera de Dinho fue en un partido organizado por la UNICEF!!
Vamos con Ronaldo y su gol al …Compostela. A los tumbos!!.. y después dicen que los brasileros son los de mas fantasia.
Y terminemos con “bicicleta” Robinho. La mejor jugada de su vida fueron 8 “pedaladas” seguidas en una jugada (a otro brasilero por supuesto, ¿quien se va a comer semejantes amagos?) que ni siquiera terminó en gol sino con un penal a favor.
Ya está no discutamos mas. BRASIL AFLOJA CON LA MENTIRA.
Por ahora están lejos de la Santa Trilogía.
London BAR King - 'The Tattershall Castle'
He is always banging on your door if you owe him a few quid, which doesn't bother me surprisingly, as he is quite a character and a betting man too.
He often gives me a horse to back which is a dead cert, although as everyone who enjoys a flutter knows - there is in fact no such thing.
However he bets big boys dosh and he wouldn't give you a donkey to back unless he had heard a whisper for it from someone on the inside.
The seasonal good weather means only two things to many. Firstly, the gyms are packed with once a year male members trying to lose their man-boobs, before they dare to unveil there shiny white torsos for the first time in six months, along with that group of fitness obsessed middle-aged women, who have been going to the gym 3 or 4 times a week forever, in the feint hope that once more this Summer they can get away with wearing a belt for a skirt and a crop top to expose their belly piercing!
Grow old gracefully I say, and that's coming from my goodself, a once upon a time gym fanatic and qualified fitness instructor.
What is it with women that when you ask them what social activities they enjoy the 'gym' is always in the top three, with the other two being swimming and pilates!
The 'gym' was once upon a time a home from home for men, where they could go to effectively preserve their masculinity and lift some weights in between chatting to other guys of the same ilk about 'man' things.
Secondly the tanning salons are empty as people try to achieve the 'real deal' even in April.
But in my world good weather means the opportunity to enjoy a bevy outdoors in the sunshine, be it in a beer garden or your own garden.
In my eyes take the opportunity now....who knows when we will see any good weather again....tomorrow, in a week, in a month!
Alternatively how about having a glass of something ON The Tattershall Castle.
Moored on the Thames, this refurbished old paddle steamer is a good place to go if your looking for a change of scenery and venue.
Drink up on the deck while the heat of the sun allows, whilst enjoying the panoramic backdrop of the London Eye, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, then toddle off down below as the sun sets and it starts to cool off.
For those looking for a 'big night in' there is also a night club on board which stays open into the early hours.
Ideally located, 2 minutes walk from Embankment tube station, 5 minutes or so from Charing Cross mainline station, and only a 10-15 minute walk from the boat itself into the West End or Soho.
'The Tattershall Castle' makes for a great meeting place. It's very informal and relaxed, and with the sun on your back, a beer in your hand and the great views of London, it is a must-go venue for an early evening or post-work libation.

“Carrizo: siguió mostrándose en el nivel del superclásico y partidos anteriores, y con eso le alcanzó para ser la figura del equipo. En el primer tiempo le llegaron tres veces mano a mano y en el segundo le patearon un par de veces desde posiciones peligrosas; siempre respondió con solvencia, adelantántose a la jugada y brindando sensación de completa imbatibilidad”.

Breve comentario
Dicen que Guillermo se negó a levantar la copa (por el valeroso empate) porque estaba enojado con Russo porque lo hizo jugar 4 minutos en vez de los 5 que tenia prometidos en la despedida del idolo maximo de la historia xeneize (marcha al poderoso Columbus Crew), hombre del club desde sus origenes (hincha no precisamente del clasico rival), ganador de titulos (siempre dentro de la cancha y nunca desde el banco), presencia en Europa (ahh no era el, era su hermano) y en la selección nacional (suplente en el importante Panamericano del 95, la exitosa Copa America del 99, eso sí, titular indiscutido en el brillante Panamericano no oficial del 93 dirigido por Merlo que perdió con Costa Rica y empató con Venezuela).

'The Lady & The Tramp' - Pounds Sterling OR Poundstretcher!
After another lifeless day at the 'orifice' I was on the chuffer home assuming the bog standard bolt upright posture, among the sweaty armpits that filled the air and with my faced pressed to the glass door. Bored of the panoramic grey concrete landscape that was illuminating my journey I dared to open very carefully, with elbows tucked in, as if doing dumbell raises in the gym, today's copy of 'The London Paper' (10 April '07) that had been thrust into my sweaty paw at Victoria Station.
I was instantly drawn to his editorial headline (on page 25) announcing 'Rich Girls Don't Care Too Much For Money.' So after a few minutes of intriguing reading I knew this was well worth sharing.
But to avoid being accused of plagiarism I have 're-worked' the article to give it a more closer to home feel on my part, so as to share with you my own worldly but humble experiences of the article in hand.
Recently a fiery debate has reared its head in the press on the subject of who should pay on a first date, or should I say who doesn't pay?
Well while the debate rages on, let's examine the subject in more depth.
Dating is an old-fashioned expression for taking a chick you fancy out on the town, getting them fully loaded, pretending your interested in anything they are or better still their folks are, even if it is fly-fishing, and to declare that you are in touch with your femine side, so you don't mind doing girlie things.... all as long as in the morning you get to say that icon of all idioms......'there is a cab number by the phone, do what you feels right.'
Dating is not about taking totty home to meet your folks!
Lads: face it. Money talks when it comes to dating.
I have never met totty that has EVER 'admitted' to me anyway, that money doesn't matter. But not all totty is looking for a company director's salary!
Now this is where hope springs eternal for yours truly.
Starting a relationship on a 'financial budget style safeguard' is a a non-starter, and a sure fire way not to make it to second base.(Comparable with missing a penalty in the last minute of a cup semi-final).
You never get to go there again, and it lives within you perpetually.
Expecting women to pay, especially on a first date is like turning up to see your favourite team play the most important game of the year, only to find you have left your season ticket in last nights jeans.
Or equally complaining your date has turned up in high heels and a skimpy micro skirt
instead of a maternity dress and builders boots - No fun, no game, no chance!
But are we missing the point about money & wealth.
What the issue hides is a potentially 'awkward' conversation that draws one into the subjects of status, schooling, success, and therefore possibly being fairly or unfairly categorised on the basis of class.
Any mention of any the above subjects could lead one to an early night home alone!
If you want a relationship in which money is not top of the agenda then the answer is blindingly simple; date someone who is posh, or someone who is unquestionably filthy rich.
Why?
Well not long ago I went out with a lass who was in my world anyway seriously top totty, we are talking fit, designer clothes & shoes, expensive jewellery, all year round 'bona fide' tan, beautiful apartment here & abroad, convertible sports car.....oh and a great personality, no really & truthfully.
She wasn't interested in me for my wealth, prospects or breeding potential. I don't have any.
But to my astonishment she used to prefer to come round to my tiny one bed flat, rather than veg out in her gorgeous apartment where you needed a walking escalator a la airport style just to get from one of the living rooms to the downstairs cloakroom.
At mine we'd sit on the floor watching tv together, chill out, share a couple of half decent bottles of vino, talk title-tattle before finally hitting the sack.
The reason this 'Lady and the Tramp' relationship ended had nothing to do with cash - it was just I was keen, in fact very keen but she was not keen on the very fact that I was so keen - so let's just leave it at that!
The up shot of that relationship was that I was able to ascertain ways to seduce posh girls - or indeed rich girls - should the opportunity arise again.
The rules are as follows:
* Firstly, have no ambition or money (or at least appear that way, in a kind of audacious manner or bravado).
* Having long hair or at least unkept hair combined with a few days excess facial growth is an advantage.
* A well chewed roll up is a must, as is the smoking of illegal substances.
* Don't work and show no interest in the value of anything or even attempt to understand the meaning of wealth.
* Don't mention the subject of 'culture.' You don't do museums, art galleries or period furniture auctions!
* The less salubrious your dwellings the better. Hygienic is adequate.
* Don't be intimidated or overwhelmed by the prospect of weekend breaks to cities and/or resorts you can't even pronounce, let alone pinpoint on a map. Remember you went to school because you had to, not out of choice. Go with the flow and enjoy the ride.
* Last but not least try to be good fun, congenial, and easy going. This can be accomplished in numerous ways. Learn to play an instrument, however shoddily, take up amateur dramatics, write poetry, or at least leave romantic annotations lying around on post-it notes.
I have on one or two occasions for newly acquired totty of course,(now ex-girlfriends) been known to leave brief notes, not shopping lists, more chic romantic expressions of affection, on household mirrors written using lipstick in my own handwriting.
Inexpensive but incredibly effective, added to the fact that they were not my mirrors nor my lippy, so the clear up factor was er......not my problem!
All the above 'rules' guarantee that you fundamentally have no future earning potential no matter which way you try to dress it up.
Stick to these basic rules and a 'Princess' will be yours.
How else can you explain how Pete Doherty charmed quite literally the pants off the once, not so long ago 'attractive' Kate Moss, one of the World's wealthiest models?
Recently I put my class based seduction technique on the back burner and have begun to try and woo a cute chirpy check-out girl at a local Poundstretcher store. She refers to me as 'luv or 'mate' and I'm on the verge of asking her out for a meal to somewhere exclusive - 'Spud U Like' perhaps. The kind of venue that endorses ripped jeans, worn trainers, spiky hair and bottled suntans.
Like it or not money talks, providing the money is talking to the right individual.

Paremos la mano.
Puede perder con el Caracas en primera ronda, o con Pepeganga pero igual va a seguir siendo el mas grande. Lo que pasa que no entienden nada y creen que la grandeza se mide por cantidad de Copas Niembro, padrón de arlequineros o cantidad de conciertos de los Backstreet Boys.

Tapa negra (se los dije).
"Contra lo que piensa Farinella, el maremoto recién comienza. ¿Vieron que el problema no era Sambueza?. El gordo de Olé y Estudio Futbol dice que Belluschi, Ponzio, Ahumada y Zapata es un medio copero... ¿copero?.
Si el River de Merlo tenia el peor plantel de la historia, este es el que peor juega. Si no se recuperan Tuzzio, Falcao y Ortega vamos mal. ¿Farias? Que juegue Farias es masomenos como que el nueve de River sea Cardetti (que por lo menos la metia mas).
"Sinceramente juntas al capitán de los Murcielagos y a un vendedor de la Solidaria, y no la podrian hacer peor que Aguilar, Israel y Passarella. Aguilar sobretodo tiene la (enorme) virtud de hacer todo al revés. Nunca vi una cosa igual.
"Pero ojo si todo sale bien, le renuevan contrato al Chapa Zapata y Passarella ya tiene firmado el suyo hasta el 2009. Desastreee."
Se los dije. Quien haya leido mis posts en La Redó y en este blog desde el 2004 a esta parte sabe que este no es un problema de Passarella. En todo caso la culpa de Passarella es la de siempre. La de ser un entrenador que pierde la serenidad frente a la presión y puede llevar a un equipo al precipicio.

Debería haber estado ahí – Primera parte
Bobby “peluquín” Mihailov (Bulgaria 1994-98)
Buen arquero de perfil bajo aunque con un indisimulable peluquín para llamar la atención.
Bogdan Stelea (Rumania 1990-94-98)
El pelado al que le copió el look Barthez, era un tribunero terrible, acrobatico volador para la foto.
Lee Woon Jae (Corea 1994-2002-2006)
Arquero con nombre de estrella de cine de acción hongkonés, cada vez que volaba parecía que estaba en una película con Jackie Chan.
Pat “panza de birra” Bonner (Irlanda 1990-94)
Este personaje “eliminó” a Irlanda de dos mundiales con sus bloopers. Su rasgo diferencial era una cara de boby que le haría sombra hasta al mismísimo Walter Safarian.
Shaka Hislop (Trinidad & Tobago 2006)
El tiempo dirá si se ubica mas arriba en el ranking, por ahora reune las condiciones necesarias para formar parte del olimpo de tribuneros mediaticos.
