It’s transfer season, and money and superstars are being carted across borders and oceans worldwide. Chelsea is still pursuing Brazilian maverick Robinho, with his current club of Real Madrid wanting to keep him and Robinho wanting to leave, issuing bold statements about his poor opinion of Real and his desire to play at Chelsea. Madrid claims to have a two-year hold on the player as per their contract agreement, and the situation is intensified by Real Madrid’s inability to sign a replacement. Other major signings include the move of Deco from Barcelona to Chelsea and wingman Jose Bosingwa from Porto to Chelsea, giving the Premiership favorites a distinct Portuguese flavor, including Scolari as the head coach.
Mexico, meanwhile, has been more occupied with the actual playing of the game. San Luis moved to a six point lead at the top of their Group C table by defeating second place Tigres 1-0. Group 2 remains a tight one with Cruz Azul, Pumas, and Tecos tied for points at the top of the table; Tecos was frustrated last week by a disappointing tie where they sacrificed a two goal lead to Necaxa and Columbian striker Hugo Rodallega, who knocked in the equalizer in the 89th minute for his second double of the season. The Aperture moves to a short break next week as a series of internationals commences, with Mexico slated to play Jamaica. (Source: esmas.com/BBC News)
