SPAIN DEFEATS ECUADOR 0 - 2 IN U-20 GROUP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS GAME

Another example of early morning Football ( from a local Spanish time perspective), too early to watch locally,  that gave me good news when I checked the result this morning. The SPANISH U-20 FOOTBALL NATIONAL TEAM defeated 0 - 2 ECUADOR in ther Group match in Colombia where the FIFA U-20 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP is being held. The win keeps SPAIN in top spot of the group with 6 points ( out of 2 games ) & assures their continued participation for the following phase. 

Spain u-20

Watching the highlights, it looked as if it was a tough day at the office for the Spaniards who faced a sticky & uncomfortable Ecuador that were, to say the least, frustrating for them. The Spanish team had to resort to SERGIO CANALES who has recovered from injury & came on in the second half to "open the can" & score in the 66 min. From here Ecuador was forced to open up to & attempt to find the equalizer & the spaces created allowed another substitute VAZQUEZ to score the second goal. Lastly, the red card to Ecuador which left them with 10 men did not help their cause, but that´s Football.

Overall, good victory & great result as Spain remains on course.

Details-starting 11:
Ecuador 0: Jaramillo; Pineida, Narváez, Quiñónez, Fuertes; Govea, Gaibor, Oña, Caicedo; De Jesús y Montaño.
Spain 2: Pacheco; Hugo Mallo, Bartra, Amat, Planas; Oriol, Koke, Isco, Pacheco; Tello y Rodrigo.


Goals: 0-1 (66'): Canales. 0-2 (85'): Álvaro Vázquez

REAL MADRID PRE - SEASON 2011 SUMMER WORLD TOUR

Real Madrid 2011
SPANISH FOOTBALL Club REAL MADRID started on Monday ( yesterday ) their pre-season & flew off immediately to Los Angeles (USA) to begin their training sessions . Four players stayed back in Madrid that indicate the Coach Jose Mourinho does not count with them for 2011-2012; Pedro Leon, Sergio Canales (also with U-20 Spain duties), Drenthe & Lass Diarra.

Said this what it also signals is an intense couple of weeks of Friendly games & travelling that the actual Club has called the Real Madrid World Tour 2011. The Club Marketing Department has whipped up this video below to advertise their upcoming Friedly matches in the US , Europe & in Asia (China).

Although the video is a bit pretentious & at times "over the top", it is true to the marketing  policy of the Club & does do its work in informing fans across the World about dates & cities that the Spanish Football Club will be attending. With this last bit in mind & knowing that this site receives a big number of readers from USA & China I though I put on the video as an informative piece. Hope the team lands soon in your city.

FIFA questions veracity of World Cup allegations

Jerome Valcke, FIFA's secretary general, has questioned why former FA and England 2018 bid chairman Lord Triesman has waited so long before revealing allegations of World Cup bid corruption.



Triesman told a Parliamentary committee there had been "improper and unethical" behaviour by four FIFA executive committee (ExCo) members including asking for money and a knighthood when he was lobbying for England.



Valcke said however: "It could have been said before. If it was known, why did it not come to our attention? Why were we not informed?"



Two more FIFA members, Issa Hayatou from Cameroon and Jacques Anouma from the Ivory Coast,are alleged to have been paid $1.5million to support Qatar's bid to host the 2022 World Cup, according to claims made to MPs at the culture, media and sport committee in the House of Commons.



With two other FIFA members, Amos Adamu from Nigeria and Reynald Temarii from Tahiti, banned by the body's ethics committee last year, it means no fewer than eight Fifa ExCo members - one third of the total of 24 - have either been accused of asking for bribes or already found guilty of impropriety in relation to the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids.



Adamu was also named in evidence provided by the Sunday Times to the committee as having been bribed by Qatar but his suspension prevented him from voting.



Valcke denied claims by MPs that FIFA had failed to reply to an official letter about the Qatar claims.



"There was a letter and we did definitely reply," said Valcke. "But there has not been a single time, apart from what we got from a UK newspaper, where we got any evidence anything was wrong during the process.



"I'm not saying anyone is lying but if we had clear information that there was some kind of evidence we would have immediately asked for it."



Triesman gave evidence of "improper and unethical" behaviour by four other executive committee members.



He said FIFA vice-president Jack Warner asked for money - suggested to be £2.5million - to build an education centre in Trinidad with the cash to be channelled through him, and later £500,000 to buy Haiti World Cup TV rights for the earthquake-hit nation, also to go through Warner.



Paraguay's FIFA member Nicolas Leoz asked for a knighthood while Brazil's FIFA member Ricardo Terra Teixeira asked Triesman to "come and tell me what you have got for me".



Thailand's FIFA member Worawi Makudi wanted to be given the TV rights to a friendly between England and the Thai national team, said Triesman.



Triesman added: "These were some of the things that were put to me personally, sometimes in the presence of others, which in my view did not represent proper and ethical behaviour on the part of members of the executive committee."



John Whittingdale, chairman of the committee, said he would now be writing to FIFA president Sepp Blatter to launch an investigation into the evidence "as a matter of urgency".



And the FA's chief operating officer Alex Horne has pledged to bring any evidence of corruption to FIFA as quickly as possible.



"We will make sure the evidence gets to the FIFA ethics committee," Horne said.



"So many people put so much time into the vote but we've tried to move on. I'm not sure what the protocol is but we will recommend the select committee passes any evidence over to FIFA."

Qatar proposes artificial clouds to cool World Cup temperatures

Scientists at Qatar University claim to have developed the technology to create artificial clouds capable of providing shade for stadia and training grounds at the 2022 World Cup.



The searing summer heat in the Gulf, where temperatures in June and July can reach up to 50C, has led to concerns about conditions for players and fans at the tournament.



Qatar were announced as hosts in December, and FIFA president Sepp Blatter initially said he expected the 2022 competition to be moved to winter, but he has since confirmed that the tournament will go ahead as planned in the summer months.



Qatar plan to air condition their World Cup stadia via solar power, and now scientists have designed the 'clouds', which can be produced at a cost of $500,000.



Saud Abdul Ghani, head of the mechanical and industrial engineering department at the university, said the 'clouds' are made from a lightweight carbon structure, and carry a giant envelope of material containing helium gas.



Four solar-powered engines move the structure via remote control.



Qatari president of the Asian Football Confederation Mohammed Bin Hammam, who will stand against Blatter for the FIFA presidency in June, insists his country is "well equipped to challenge the summer heat".
