It was classic Michael Bradley.

From inside his own half he touched the ball to the winger and took off.

The level of commitment, passion and hunger shown by players at the
country trials is making the scouts‘ and coaches‘ decisions extremely
difficult. With every stage of the country trials demanding players find
a new level of performance, the expectation becomes even bigger. These
are a few of the players who’ve handled it.

Jose David Castro, Colombia:
A silky central midfielder, Jose’s style of play gives him all the time
and space on the ball he needs. Crucially, he also knows how to use it.

Keron McArthur, South Africa: At the Chance trials, South Africa, the
scouts thought that Keron’s strength and pace helped him stand out. He
has another opportunity to excel in the final country trials.

Petr Pokrovskij, Czech Republic:
Petr has aspirations to play for Arsenal, and if his trials performance
was an indication of his potential, the cultured defender is giving
himself every chance.

Jaleel Johnson, South Africa: A commanding young goalkeeper, Jaleel’s
strong communication, strength under high balls and quick distribution
kept his side safe at the back and on the front foot.

Will these players make it to the final 100? Find out on November 15th.

The 8th Homeless World Cup kicked off this past Sunday in Rio de Janeiro with delegations and fans from the 64 countries involved in the event.

The US team was one of the first to perform and they entered the court wearing the Brazilian jersey over their US uniforms. The men's team from Kenya also drew attention with their war calls and by beating Ghana 12 to 3 over Ghana.

The Mexican fans were the noisiest, with horns, wooden "maritacas" and their famous Luche Libre wrestler costumes.

Everyone who took part appeared happy.

Someone truly happy with the tournament was Colombian Ingrid Macana, whose eyes sparkled when she spoke of her experience. "It's the first time I swim in the ocean. We arrived here on the 17th and we are making the most of it."

The Colombian player said that besides her, most of the players from her country had never been on an airplane, or seen the ocean up close. Ingrid used the word "super" often when recalling the start of the trip.

Besides providing unique experiences to disadvantaged youths, the Homeless World Cup offers hope for a better life to many people. Six months after the last edition of the event, a survey showed that 71% of the participants changed their lives considerably; 29% found work, 32% went back to school and 71% now play football regularly.

Since 2003 the charity tournament has contributed to a better quality of life for over 30 thousand people around the world and has counted with the support of over 70 social organizations.

The celebrations with the fans and the delegations from the 64 countries will continue until the 26th, the end of the tournament in which everyone wins medals and, most importantly, hope for a better life through sports. "Football gives me courage to do things I didn't think were possible," concluded the Ugandan Player Susan Lakica.

Four games into the German season. Four victories for Mainz.

On May 20, 1992, FC Barcelona entered the history books of football. A chapter that set a milestone for a club that, from this day, would never be the same again.

18 years later, 19 men are once again being called upon to repeat, for the fourth time, one of the biggest feats in football: to be Champions of Europe.

FC Barcelona has begun its journey to the final with its first convincing victory of the season against the Greek champions. The hunger for victory is evident in every attacking play and every ball recovered. The rivals may be stronger and the season longer, but Barça’s desire to do more than just win is unparalleled.

The first hurdle has been cleared.

The first step towards the call of Wembley.

Never Look Back.

It’s not the match you leave behind what matters; but the rival that you’re going to face.

FC Barcelona makes its debut in the highest European competition against the Greek champions. In front of their fans, Iniesta, Piqué and the rest of the team will leap into the field with the objective of shouting out to the whole continent who they are and what they play for.

This year, once again, the road to the final will be hard and unpredictable for Barça, but this is exactly where Guardiola’s team can shine, showing their best game and trademark way of playing. All of their rivals will do their utmost to beat them and Barça will do its utmost to win the title.

The assault on Europe is about to start. The swords are drawn.

Never Look Back.

You never know who's watching.

With these words, Arsene Wenger issued a nationwide challenge for the UK's best players to prove their game. And yesterday, the Arsenal manager proved his own statement by personally attending The Chance UK trials.

Arsene watched the last 32 players battle it out for a shot at representing the UK in the global finals. Then came the moment of truth. The coaching staff pondered. The players sweated. Then, Arsene congratulated Titi Accam, Peter Wedgeworth, Toby Ajala and Tobi Amokeodo.

Well done lads. See you at the global finals.

They've been through a lot to get this far. They never gave up on their dream of playing football and will now have The Opportunity to show all their skills in England.

From now on they will have to practice even harder to get high marks abroad and compete for the spots to train at the Nike Academy, an exceptional doorway into European football.

In January we will fly them to London, where the international stage of the selection will take place, with over 90 athletes from around the world.

Check out below a quick profile of the winners (in order, from left to right on the photo above):

. Felipe Franco, 17 years old, 1.72m, 63 kg, center field. Skillful, a technical player.

. Iuri Gorentzvai, 20 years old, 1.86m, 78 kg, forward. European style player, with great physical strength. Good scorer.
"Ever since the Nike Cup I've been practicing a lot. I'm very happy to have been chosen and to see that the hard work paid off"

. Yuri Messias, 18 years old, 1.64m, 67 kg, center field. Good fitness and excellent technique in different positions on the field.
"My dream was always to make it to Europe, coincidentally, to England. I'll give it my best and see if I can manage to stay there"

. Diego Amaral Gonçalves, 18 years old, 1.71m, 65 kg, midfielder. Good fitness and technique, marks well and never gets tired.

There were approximately 2,000 registrations, players were evaluated in various tests and during the Nike Cup. Scouts worked tirelessly to narrow the group down to 44 players. In the end, only 6 were chosen.

All these numbers and stages only hint at how fierce the competition was in the Brazilian stage of The Chance, our international selection process that will choose players to spend a season training at the Nike Academy.

This last Sunday, the process reached its apex in Brazil, with the announcement of the selected athletes. After spending all of Saturday on activities and tests, the players returned to the field on Sunday.

With the players again forming four teams, each team played two 35 minute games, this time on a full-sized field (on Saturday they had played on a reduced field).

Besides the criteria by which they had been assessed earlier (control, precision, speed and in-game intelligence), on the full sized field they could show the scouts another basic selection aspect: physical strength.

Board meeting
At the end of the games, the technical team met and the observers presented their lists of selected players, highlighting the decision criteria for each.

There was some consensus in the meeting, but also plenty of discussion and voting arguments until the list was finalized.

From the conference room they returned to the field, for their final meeting with the players and to announce those selected, in an emotional ceremony mixed with happiness and relief from the winners.

With South Africa a distant memory, Europe turns its focus on the long road to 2012.

Miroslav Klose and Mirko Vucinic proved the match-winning difference for their sides, and Ruud Van Nistelrooy made it a goalscoring return to international duty. Fernando Torres continued his return to full form and fitness with two goals but Klaas Jan Huntelaar’s devastating hat-trick was the highlight.

And with strong starts for Serbia and Turkey as well, every team will want to repeat the feat tonight.

The winning standard’s been set. Who has the quality and consistency to maintain it?
