Is Everyone's Face Asymetrical?

Copa Libertadores 2010, kick off!

The beautiful and exciting Brasileirão 2009 now completed, we can look at the flagship event that will host, on the whole South American continent, the first half of 2010 , in this case the Copa Libertadores, the equivalent of our good (and not so old) European Champions League!

The competition begins on January 27 next, with a turn-off for stalling on a final content of hens, and will end next August after being arrested during one month due to World Cup in South Africa.

We now know the composition of the 8 groups, in which each team will compete in match A / R, which will come the 16 teams that will play the 8th finals, the finals scheduled juqu'à therefore the beginning of August (again in match A / R). 5 Brazilian clubs who will compete themselves out of the draw with varying success:

- The Corinthians Ronaldo, winner of the Copa do Brasil and qualified ... since last May, fell in a group that qualify as "cardboard", with Cerro Porteno, Paraguay champion, the winner of a dual Colombian-Colombano with two teams whose reputation has not crossed the Rio Magdalena, in this case Atletico Huila or Independiente Medellin ... And the last team to be the winner of another barrier between a third Colombian team, Junior of Barranquilla, and Racing Club de Montevideo, Uruguay, then. An easy group, I tell you ...

- The Cruzeiro of Belo Horizonte, the fourth Brasileirão , will play a preliminary round against Real Potosi, whose main asset is its highest point at 3,976 m altitude (the highest in the world!) But the team remains modest Cruzeiro and should invite themselves logically in Group 7, not at all obvious, with Colo Colo, the legendary Chilean club, Velez Sarsfield, who won the championship closure of Argentina and Deportivo Italia Venezuelan good team.

- The São Paulo FC, 3rd in the Brazilian championship, will meet Nacional Asuncion, who won the Clausura in Paraguay this year, Once Caldas, good little team that won the opening tournament Colombia, Mexico and the champion that we know in early January. Group less obvious than the Corinthians, no doubt. And more so than of SPFC tricolor had been the law of Once Caldas in the semifinals of the Libertadores 2004 when the team won the title Manizales Continental Supreme, the surprise!

- The Internacional de Porto Alegre , 2nd of Brasileirão , will play in a group within his reach Cerro Porteno, who won the opening tournament of Uruguay, Deportivo Quito, Ecuador Championship winner, and presumably the second tournament championship closure Argentina Newell's Old Boys of Rosario.

- Finally, the great Flamengo, who won the Brazilian championship heroic 2009 (like I do not seem very objective when I talk about my rubro-negros :), who inherited 'a relatively mild, consisting of the winner of the tournament closing Chile, Universidad de Chile, the best club in Venezuela, the Caracas FC (still), and the winner of the duel between the Colon of Argentina, who faces in Universidad Catolica preliminary match in Chile. But a concentrated Mengao should not pass up the opportunity to go to 1/8th finals !

Ci-cons the coveted trophy will therefore argue that the 32 Latin American team from the end of January! We hear of course in Gooooooooooool !
