* In Copa Libertadores group phase action this week Paraguay’s Libertad continued its unbeaten run, Peru’s Cienciano thrashed Bolivar from Bolivia, and a pair of tournament favorites- Argentina’s River Plate and Chile’s Colo Colo- each lost their matches.
* Brazilian coach Dunga named his squad for a pair of friendlies this month against Ghana and Chile; notable absences from the team include Ronaldo and Adriano.
* Guess who’s in trouble with taxes again? You're correct if you guessed Argentine legend Diego Maradona.
* Julio Cesar Uribe was named as Peru’s new head coach; let’s hope he fares better than his previous stint between 2000 and 2001 when the squad was only able to win 3 of 15 games.
