NFL looks for big play in Mexico
The NFL is the monolith of professional sports leagues, so powerful in its hold over fans and sponsors that it's hard to imagine that it could grow in popularity.
Yet that's the plan, and a chief target is Mexico and the burgeoning Hispanic market in the United States.
Like most large, powerful entities, the NFL isn't the most nimble of organizations. It admittedly has been a bit slow off the ball in selling itself to Mexico and Hispanic markets.
The NFL sees those markets as vital to continuing the phenomenal growth the league has enjoyed over the
Uruapan is a municipality belonging the mexican state of Michoacán. The town and surroundings are world famous, because of the avocado farming and packaging, a great quantity of the avocado´s production is exported to the United States and other countries.
There is a popular proverb in Mexico, that says: I have gone to "Euruapan" and means that because a lack of money the person can´t go to Europe or farther, instead he or she only have visited Uruapan because is near the mexican big cities (Guadalajara and Mexico City); Uruapan and Europe (Europa in spanish) are words that sound similar.
100 freeze to death in Europe
The freezing Arctic weather sweeping across northern and eastern Europe claimed nearly 100 lives over the weekend, with unusually low temperatures predicted to continue for the next few days.
Twenty-seven people have perished from exposure in Poland since Friday in temperatures hovering below -5°C, bringing to 150 the number who have died this winter, police said on Monday.
Nearly half of the dead were homeless, of whom 90% died while drunk. Last winter, around 180 people died in Poland from the cold.
The government said Russian gas deliveries were 34% below their contracted level
With the promotion of Cancun as a gateway from Europe, there has been an increase in the number of scheduled flights to Mexico, at the expense of charter flights from Britain (for example Iberia flies daily Madrid-Miami-Cancun; Air France/'AeroMexico twice weekly Paris-Cancun; Condor Flugdienst from Frankfurt to Cancun, Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta - also to San Jose, Costa Rica). British Airways operates a twice weekly flight from London Gatwick to Cancun and three scheduled services a week from London Heathrow to Mexico City. British Airways flights link with AeroMexico and, to a lesser extent,Mex/cono for
LEIPZIG, GERMANY - The Confederations Cup was supposed to be about the haves and have-nots of world soccer, with Brazil, Argentina and Germany expected to dominate the eight-team championship.
Clearly, no one told Mexico.
"We reckon it's time the world sat up and took notice of us," said Jared Borgetti, who scored on a header in Mexico's 1-0 victory over Brazil on Sunday. "We've proved Mexico can play good football."
The Tricolores look certain to qualify for the World Cup, but this competition has given Ricardo La Volpe's team a chance to make an impact one year earlier.
Mexico started with a 2-1 victory
Europe and US still split over next Doha move
The US and European Union remain starkly divided over who must take the initiative to end the deadlock in the Doha round of world trade talks, as trade ministers approach their next opportunity to make progress at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland next weekend.
Comments by Peter Mandelson, EU trade commissioner, and Rob Portman, US trade representative, have quashed hopes that there has been a significant change of heart since the World Trade Organisation ministerial meeting in Hong Kong in December left central issues unresolved.
Speaking on Monday in Berlin, Mr Mandelson insisted
Will Mexicos landscape change since stars have left
From the moment Pachuca hoisted the Clausura 2006 trophy last spring to the start of the Apertura 06 on Saturday, the Mexican league has gone through some unprecedented changes.
The top clubs are still around, but several of the best Mexican players migrated to Europe in ways never seen before. The top two defenders in the Mexican league are gone. The most popular forward in the country will now ply his trade abroad. A respected veteran midfielder will test his skills in the Old World.
Top-level players are leaving the familiar surroundings of Mexican soccer
Mexico Soccer Coach May Be Out
Ricardo Lavolpe is not likely to continue as Mexico coach when his contract expires after the World Cup.
Mexican club owners will meet soon to decide Lavolpes future, but the coach is expected to be shown the door, Mexican Football Federation president Alberto de la Torre said. He said the Mexican manager has offers from Argentine and European clubs.
I think he will not (continue), de la Torre told Mexican channel Televisa. He wants to coach in Europe. He was telling me he has an offer from Spain, and also has offers from Argentina, so hes
It's obvious the United States and Mexico are going to be in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Surely, U.S. manager Bruce Arena and Mexican manager Ricardo LaVolpe would not admit this in front of their players, but it's reality.
On Saturday, it's win and you're in when the teams meet in Columbus, Ohio.
And the sooner a team qualifies, the better its chances could potentially be at the World Cup.
So here's the plan: Win and qualify. Celebrate briefly. Refocus.
Realistically, the U.S. and Mexico have navigated the CONCACAF qualifying waters with confidence and have put themselves in position to qualify for Germany
