Sunday recap

End of the road for Los Pibitos

After a solid first round and a great win over Costa Rica in the eight-finals, Nigeria were too much for our U17 National Team as we crashed out of the tournament with a 2-0 result. We are still without titles in this category, notoriously dominated by African teams and Brazil (who won't win it this time as they were eliminated by Ghana).

Mamma mia! Napoli are back for good in Serie A

After a 2-0 defeat at home to Cagliari in the first week of the Serie A season, Napoli had to visit Udinese at the Stadio Friuli and with the help of Roberto SOSA and Ezequiel LAVEZZI, the blue team destroyed the blue and white from Udine with a heavy 5-0 win.

Uruguayan Marcelo ZALAYETA scored a brace while LAVEZZI and SOSA scored one each. DOMIZZI also found the back of the net and Napoli secured their first three points of the season.

CHELA outplays LJUBICIC and advanced in New York

Juan Ignacio CHELA fought against one of the best players in the world and defeated him 6-4, 6-7, 2-6, 6-3 and 6-3 to advance to the eight-finals of the US Open. He'll face the winner of the match between GINEPRI and WAWRINKA.
David NALBANDIAN was in control but lost in five sets against Spaniard David FERRER. As I'm writing this, Juan MONACO is defeating Agustín CALLERI 2 sets to 0 and later tonight, Juan Martín DEL POTRO will face Serbian sensation DJOKOVIC.

  1. Word of mouth among Boca players tonight is that Roman is returning to Boca. Of course, who knows. Too many twists and turns to be sure. Looks like Real Madrid served notice to their rivals today with a demolition of Villarreal.

    Just a detail, but it's important for all Udinese fans out there: Udinese plays black and white (not blue and white!) when playing at home, while the light blue and white jersey is used for matches on the road.
