Not reached, in an auspicious occasion. Marked and reached the shore, with 43 goals. A one less than the former captain of Real Madrid.

Spain has won respect in its own right in world football. Liechtenstein, full of gaps but enthusiastic in pursuit of its own growth reflected the impact generated by the Red. In the assumed inferiority, is the 141 in the FIFA ranking, added precautions against the champion older.

However, Vicente del Bosque, always respectful to the rival, put aside the numbers and the euphoria that usually emerge from the successes. He pulled eleven logic and gala. Edged Carlos Marchena, the natural solution in the center of the defense that left an orphan Carles Puyol with soleus injury. It included Fernando Torres in the side despite the specific job intended putting them are female.

The team of Vicente del Bosque opened the can past the quarter hour. He could sign the Second Madrid striker, Liverpool, again enabled by Iniesta. But the goalkeeper jumped on him. And it was Torres, who reappeared less than a month after the injury he suffered in the 2010 World Cup final, who understood the situation better attack. That offered more alternatives to Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta. The smarter.

In fact broke the drought. No official score a goal for over a year, at the last Confederations Cup. Then scored in Murcia, against Poland in the final match of preparation before going to South Africa.

David Villa, but his anxiety with a shot from outside the box four minutes from half time, they could not stop Jehle. Both signed his 43 with the Red. And she stood to one of Raul Gonzalez as top scorer in team history.

Federer, seeded tenth, would be the only survivor of the Armada and, after a very even start in the third set, broke through his opponent’s service in the third game and held his serve, which allowed him to take the domain on the scoreboard.

However, achieving cost him his points and get into Ukrainian prison, who saved a match point up and kept his best service, with what he did that Valencian suffer until the end to clinch the victory with his serve.

The Javea, and in the second round, will now face American Sam Querrey, who won easily into German Phillip Petzschner 6-1, 6-4.

Albiceleste captain jumped on the Camp Nou turf 19.30, Barça dress, and took his first touch before some 5,000 fans waited anxiously, the presentation in the stadium bleachers.

Later, at a press conference, former Liverpool midfielder claimed to be aware of the great competition within the team and what their role in Pep Guardiola’s orders.

“It would be a fool if you think I come here to play it all, we should respect people who are doing well and has won everything. In positions where I can play me there are three world champions. It is an honor to learn of them and grow with them, “he said.

In this respect, it held its strong position in the exhibition because “there are three world champions,” referring to Xavi and Iniesta, plus Busquets. “I grow with them,” he said before stress that wants to fight for ownership. “I do not come on vacation, but to seize an opportunity that occurs once in life,” he added.

The Argentine, whose buyout clause is 90 million euros, has highlighted the interest of Barcelona in signing him as one of the keys to his arrival. “I decided by the club actually came and bet on me, and that was the Barcelona”, even at the cost of waiving the 20 percent of her salary for the next four seasons.

“The last thing crossed my mind was the money,” explained the Argentine midfielder, “one can give up money to make other things. I think I earn a lot in sports, prestige and recognition that not many clubs give you. ”

On his new coach, who has already spoken on the phone, Mascherano Josep Guardiola has stated that “it is genuine, as is seen on the court and has revealed that his coach has told you already know” which side I come from and under what conditions. “

Almagro said goodbye against Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka 6-3 double. The Swiss did not miss their balls break, unlike the Spanish player who did not respond at key moments of the match. The Murcia could not break at any time the demanding pace set by its rival.

Another bad news reached us by Feliciano Lopez who could do nothing against the local player, Taylor Dent, succumbing in straight sets 6-3 6-2. The strong conditioned U.S. service the party, due to the inability of Toledo by subtracting its rival. Feliciano acknowledged his lack of pace throughout the match and fell in the first round, as in Toronto.

For his part, Tommy Robredo could not beat Germany’s Michael Berrer, despite winning the first leg: 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (8).

Nadal Pending

Nadal is already prepared to win the Cincinnati Masters 1000 single that resists the number one in the world after his performance in Toronto, despite their semi-final elimination at the hands of the ‘winner’ Andy Murray. David Ferrer, Tommy Robredo and Fernando Verdasco also fight for completing a well in the antechamber of the U.S. Open.

“Without a doubt I made many mistakes in my life and that is something that I will have to carry forever,” he began, the number one golf.

Regarding the decline of his game and lost millions for their controversial attitudes, Tiger said: “Every year you have to find the positive. Although there are a lot of negative things I think that’s actually a good thing, because I learned a lot about myself and also learn to be a better person, “she stated.

Finally, the U.S. said it hopes to solve some of the damage caused to his family. “The wish him well in everything. It is a sad time in our lives. And we are thinking how we can help our children the best possible way. That is the most important, “he said.

Federer was conspicuous by his absence from the playing time now with no pattern of play, whipping, lives in a magic hat full of hits, but does not enjoy and you can see. He looks tired, erratic, stiff. Despite all reached the final, but still waiting to return the tennis implacable.

Strong candidate for the U.S. Open

A Murray fast tracks in North America will come like a glove, where you feel comfortable and ephemeral ground for the season always gives an extra can of gasoline that knows how to manage a charm. The Scot leaves Toronto strengthened, after beating the two best players on the tour and for terminating as coach Miles Maclagan. This year his candidacy for the U.S. Open is stronger than ever.

Djokovic reached the semifinals met, but need more. The Serb has long lived in the shadow of binomial Rafa-Roger and need a final push. A Toronto came as world number two and leaves as three, while in his corner coach Marian Vajda looking for solutions. Where is the roof of Novak? For tennis does not, however, mentally still cold.

Nadal leaves with a bittersweet taste, in a tournament where he was from less to more, until Murray upped the ante: it showed signs of weakness in the quarter, in an erratic match against Kohlschreiber gave a set and where it was lacking in form. The Balearic plan your assault on the U.S. Open thoroughly and Cincinnati Masters 1000 will mark a second set-up. “Toronto has been a good start on the hard court season. I’ve won 34 of my last 36 games. To win at Murray should have gotten much better. I’m a little slower than normal and more tense points long this is normal after a break, “said Nadal.

For now, the four large suitcases were already bound to the state of Ohio, where there will be a new revalidated for Nadal, who after winning the 1000 Masters record 18 in Madrid after batiera Agassi mark, it only remains to place its name in the imminent appointment of Cincinnati, in addition to Miami, Paris and Shanghai.

From the outset, was that Barcelona and faced the meeting with a different attitude after the 1-3 first-leg wins.

Messi was the first in their boots in the sixth minute but his shot flew past the goal defended by Palop.

But it was a warning of things to come. It was enough that Peter will win the line, will launch the center back and the poor Konko appeared to mark an own goal.
When averaging the first part was Messi who after receiving Xavi’s pass, deceived Palop with a feint and played for a goal that gave the title to Barca.

Two minutes from the end of the first part, the center of Alves, Messi shot and goal. 3-0, cleared game, and title almost home.

We say almost because the Seville was supposed to go in the second half in search of a goal that forced overtime. Not so, Barcelona, and with Villa and Iniesta on the court, was closer to the fourth and then it got on the closure through Messi.

In this way all culé, which faced the tournament with much less preparation, continues to show that for now, at least in Spain, has no rival.

FC Barcelona: Valdés, Alves, Piqué, Abidal, Maxwell, Xavi (Adriano, 87 ‘), Sergio Busquets, Keita, Messi, Bojan (Iniesta, 56′) and Pedro (Villa, 56 ‘).

Sevilla: Palop; Dabo, Escudé, Konko, Navarro, Zokora, Romaric (Cigarini, 60 ‘), Navas, Capel (Luis Fabiano 60′), Alfaro (Perotti, 60 ‘) and Negredo.

Goals: 1-0, Konko (13 ‘) (pp) 2-0, Messi (24′) 3-0, Messi (43 ‘) 4-0, Messi (90′)

The paddock of Formula 1 has been pronounced and therefore “Nelsinho” Piquet, Alonso’s former teammate at Renault, as the former driver Gerhard Berger are sympathetic with the attitude of Ferrari in the Hockenheim circuit. The ‘cheeky’ message Ferrari Massa, “Fernando is faster than you. Can you confirm that you understand this message?” has found new support.

For ‘Nelsinho “Piquet, Felipe Massa is to blame for this situation,” if Massa does not want that to happen, then you have to work hard to go faster than Alonso. ” Also understand that if it had been his compatriot who had been ahead in the standings this situation would have been different if he’d been ahead of Alonso in the championship, would have passed him. “

Former Ferrari driver Gerhard Berger, the team suggests that the ‘Prancing Horse’ should bet directly by the Spaniard in the remainder of the championship, “Alonso is clearly the best on the team, is their only chance of winning the World Cup” . Berger knows that Ferrari has to fight for the title and ‘Magic’ is the right choice, “Montezemolo signed him and will play his cards as much as possible.”

The great rival Alonso, Webber and Vettel have a car less reliable than the Spaniard. The Red Bulls have dropped three times, two of them because of accidents and the other due to mechanical problems. The most memorable was the abandonment of German Sebastian Vettel in the Turkish Grand Prix following his collision with team-mate, Australian Mark Webber.

The study counted the number of laps completed and Ferrari has given nearly a hundred laps longer than Red Bull. This is the conclusion reached by the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport ‘, author of the study. The team of the Prancing Horse has not taken all the performance of the reliability of his car because five times Massa and Alonso finished outside the points.

Good news for the Hispania

Among the newcomers to Formula 1 championship, the team is the most reliable Hispania with ‘only’ eight retirements and Lotus and Virgin than the Spanish team. The car is less reliable than ‘enjoy’ De la Rosa and Kobayashi is that the team has had 13 Sauber dropouts, seven of them sustained by the Spanish.

“Unfortunately none of these players appeared, and it is difficult to name the best in the world in recent times has Kaka, Messi, and both are good technically and is also referred to Cristiano Ronaldo, but for me seen by Cup World’s Forlan, and was the most represented, “said the former star of world football.

“Any player would like to be on that team from Spain, no doubt, I appreciated the Spanish football and before the World Cup, I knew it would come to the final and Spain has a soccer demonstration of a different, less aggressive 74 as the Netherlands, which was a new thing, the Spanish team played with a precision ball with touch and of course I would have liked to play on a team like that, no doubt, “declared the popular” O King. “
