Im surprised Zapata got called up to the Colombia squad, he hasn't played in months and is 4 or 5th choice behind some of the worlds worst defenders.

That Argentina squad though, phwoar.

He only played one lovely year and he's just gotten loaned every season since then. Dude couldn't even make the world cup list at striker for Brazil. It was a really stupid transfer.

Oh yeah today is the Super Cup day in Mexico (Well in Houston Texas USA since they can make more money there than in mexico) where there is two super cup games going on today. The one thats going on right now is the SuperCopa MX which is beween the two winners of the Clausura and Apertura Copa MX from last season which is Puebla and Morelia. It's a 0 - 0 game in the 28th min in somewhat empty stadium but it's a game one of a double header which the main event is the Campeón de Campeones which is beween the two winners of the Clausura and Apertura last Liga MX season which were Santos Laguna and Club América which starts 8:40pm Local time tonight. Am sure the stadium will be pack by then since Club América can draw alot of people as I found out 2 years ago when they played a friendly game with my club the Fire and the only section that had Fire fans was the supporter section and the rest of the park was painted yellow.

Anyway the new Liga MX season starts soon, right after the Gold Cup finishes if I recall right.

Do you have a list of transfers for Liga MX that might be interesting? I remember at least a few teams signing relatively big players from Europe.

Argentinian side Huracan's bus's brakes failed on the highway and the thing fell over while going to the airport in Caracas. One of their midfielders had to have 4 of his toes partially amputated:

though Colombian players have either turned to poo poo lately like James, gone to China like Jackson or gotten/stayed injured like Falcao so maybe it won't be that hard for USA.

All they need is one garbageman to put the ball within a few meters of Bacca, friend.

Dunga's final 23 list for the Copa America:

GK: Alisson (Internacional), Diego Alves (Valencia/ESP) y Ederson (Benfica).

Defenders: Daniel Alves (Barcelona/ESP), Fabinho (Monaco/FRA), Douglas Santos (Atlético Mineiro), Filipe Luis (Atlético de Madrid/ESP), Gil (Shandong Luneng/CHN), Marquinhos (Paris Saint Germain/FRA) y Miranda (Inter de Milán/ITA).

Midfielders: Rodrigo Caio (Sao Paulo), Casemiro (Real Madrid), Elias (Corinthians), Luiz Gustavo (Wolfsburg/ALE), Rafinha Alcántara (Barcelona/ESP), Lucas Lima (Santos), Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool/ING), Renato Augusto (Beijing Guoan/CHN), Willian (Chelsea/ING) y Douglas Costa (Bayern de Múnich/ALE).

Forwards: Gabriel (Santos), Hulk (Zenit/RUS) y Ricardo Oliveira (Santos).

I didn't think Brazil could get any worse than during the WC but they did.

That isn't a full strength side obviously without Neymar, Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Oscar, etc. I doubt Argentina puts out their best either. That has to be a record for number of Brazil players in a tournament playing their club football in loving China though.

I guess this partially has to do with the Olympics.

Yeah, them seemed lost in the pitch, and between Cristiane and Marta Brazil just hosed with them, it was like watching our 2004-ish men's team. I miss Brazil being good at soccer, man. Also Gabriel Jesus missed a ridiculous goal against South Africa, holy poo poo. Iraq should be an easy match IN THEORY, tho, so that tie might not matter too much.

Yeah the men's team in comparison looked like poo poo from what I saw from them, especially given the talent that they have. That Gabigol miss was great for social media in Italy though.

Several Brazilian Serie A clubs have asked to protect Chapecoense from relegation for the next 3 seasons

They've also asked to have them be able to have all their loan players for free while they rebuild. Hopefully this keeps them from going bankrupt at the very least.

Palmeiras has also asked to wear Chapecoense's kit for the last game of the season (which they just won...by beating Chapacoense last week).

Torino tweeted this earlier, having gone through this very situation almost a century ago:

Oh yeah there's been talk about bringing back the superliga which for those who don't remember was the closest we had to a Copa Sudamericaca/Europa League like competition. I think the MLS won one time but it was mainly another thing for Liga MX to win and gave us alot of MLS vs Liga MX games which one sided as one expected. My Fire mde it to the 09 finals but lost to Tigres in a shootout, I always liked it since it was a nice bonus competition to watch.

New England won it once against Morelia and it remains one of like 2 trophies the team has ever won. I remember it being a fun game anyway. Ended on PK's.

I just saw highlights of Tigres - America and the two goal scorers were Gignac and Menez. Weird times. I didn't even realize Menez had signed with America.

Honda has been scoring a few crackers as well. Menez owns, he was an unstable oval office but he was incredible when he was on.
