Monday, July 10, 2006
Another World Cup is over and that only means that we have four boring years ahead!
Today the Italians won their 4th World Cup 24 years after they won their last one back in 1982. I must say that the Italian team was very compact and well organized in defense. They played very good as a [...]

This is how I would classify the different teams
Candidates to win the WC: Brazil, Spain, Czech Republic and Germany.
Brazil obviously is everyone’s favorite, although they didn’t have a great game against Croatia. Spain smashed Ukraine and has a very strong team, with very young players on the attack. The Czechs are not a surprise: they’ve [...]

This week the colombian vicepresident Francisco Santos, gave César two AK47 from former paramilitars, to have them transformed.

Well done Longhorns!
Thursday, January 5, 2006
The University of Texas (UT) football team won last night the Rose Bowl beating the University of South California (USC) 41-38 and became National Champions.
This is a huge accomplishment for the team, for the University and its home town Austin. 1970 was the last time UT won the National Championship.
I don’t particularly love football and [...]
