Alexandra-A History $39.95 Alexandra -A History is a social history of one of South Africas oldest townships. It covers the period from the townships founding in 1912, when it was perceived as a peri-urban outpost, through to its growth as a center of black working class life in the heart of Johannesburg, to the post-apartheid era. Declared as a location for 'natives and coloureds,' Alexandra became home to a diverse population where home-owners, tenants, squatters, hostel-dwellers, workers and migrants drawn from every corner of the country converged to make a life in the city. The stories of ordinary people are at the core of the townships history. Based on scores of life history interviews, the book portrays in vivid detail the daily struggles and tribulation of Alexandrans. A focus point is the rich history of political resistance, in which civic movements and political organizations -such as the ANC, Communist Party and socialist organizations like the Movement for Democracy of Content-organized bus boycotts, anti-removal and anti-pass campaigns, and mobilized for housing and a better life for residents. But the book is not only about politics. It tells the stories of daily life, of the making of urban cultures and of the infamous Spoilers and Msomi gangs. Over weekends Alexandra came alive as soccer matches, church services and shebeens vied for the attention of residents. Alexandra -A History highlights the social complexities of the township, which at times caused tension between different segments of the population, such as between the 'bona fides' and amagoduka, stand-owners and tenants, or hostel-dwellers and township residents. Above all else the community spirit of Alexandrans, expressed in an enduring love for the place, has repeatedly triumphed in the face of untold misery and adversity. |

He played professionally in the American Soccer League, United Soccer League, American Indoor Soccer Association and Major Indoor Soccer League and Western Soccer Alliance. A native of Key West, Florida, Gabarra attended Connecticut College where he played soccer from 1978 to 1981. In 1989, Connecticut College inducted Gabarra into its Athletic Hall of Fame. After finishing college in the spring of 1982, Gabarra was signed by the Detroit Express of the American Soccer League (ASL). The Express won the ASL championship that season, defeating the Oklahoma City Slickers two games to one to take the title. However, both the Express and the ASL barely made it through the 1983 season before they both folded. Gabarra spent most of his time with the Express on the substitutes bench. In 1984, the United Soccer League (USL) attempted to replace the ASL as the de-facto U.S. second division. Gabarra moved to the USL where he joined the New York Nationals. The USL fared little better than the ASL and the Nationals folded at the end of the season. The league itself collapsed during its second season, but by that time Gabarra was establishing himself as an indoor star. In 1984, the Louisville Thunder of the newly established American Indoor Soccer Association (AISA) signed Gabarra. With the move to indoor soccer, Gabarra found his niche.

Argentine Football (Soccer) Rivalries: Supercl sico $9.91 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Superclásico is the name used to describe the football match in Argentina between Buenos Aires rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate. It derives from the Spanish usage of “clásico” to mean derby, with the prefix “super” used as the two clubs are the most popular and successful clubs in Argentine football. According to some statistics, commandeering more than 70% of all Argentine football fans between them, with Boca claiming 40% and River 32%. The Superclásico is known worldwide as one of the fiercest and most important derbies. In April 2004, the English newspaper The Observer put the Superclásico at the top of their list of “50 sporting things you must do before you die”, saying that “Derby day in Buenos Aires makes the Old Firm game look like a primary school kick-about.” The two clubs both have origins in La Boca, the working class dockland area of Buenos Aires, with River being founded in 1901 and Boca in 1905. However, River moved to the affluent district of Núñez in the north of the city in 1925. Since then Boca Juniors has been known as the club of Argentina’s working class or the people’s club, with many Boca fans coming from the local Italian immigrant community. Boca fans are actually known as Xeneizes (Genoese). By contrast, River Plate became known by the nickname, Los Millonarios (The Millionaires), with a supposedly upper-class support base. Both clubs do though have supporters from all social classes. The first ever recorded Superclásico was a friendly played on 2 August 1908, when Boca prevailed 2-1. The first official match was played on 24 August 1913, with River winning 2-1. The Superclásico is particularly noted for the passion of the fans, with what the BBC describe as “a sea of colourful flowing |

Arizona Outlaws $68.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Arizona Outlaws were a professional American football team that played in the United States Football League in the mid 1980s. They were owned by Fresno banker and real estate agent William Tatham, Sr., who had briefly owned the Portland Thunder of the World Football League. The Outlaws were originally slated to play in San Diego. However, under pressure from baseball’s Padres, the NFL’s Chargers and the NASL’s Sockers, the city refused to grant Tatham a lease for Jack Murphy Stadium. Scrambling for a home, Tatham seriously considered playing in Honolulu for its inaugural 1984 season, but settled on Tulsa, Oklahoma–even though the city had not even been included in a list of possible expansion sites for the USFL. However, Tatham had roots in Oklahoma (his father had moved to California during the Great Depression), and felt that putting his team there would give something back to the state. He christened his team the Oklahoma Outlaws. The club was the second major-league sports team to play in the state, after the North American Soccer League’s Tulsa Roughnecks, and played at Skelly Stadium. |

Ask Me Again Tomorrow: A Life in Progress $10.99 From her fame as the Oscar-winning actress who uttered the famous line in Moonstruck, “I know who I am,” to her lauded role as Mrs. Madrigal, the landlord of indeterminate gender in Tales of the City, to being the cousin of presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, Olympia Dukakis has captured the imagination of a broad audience. Known for her straightforward talk, her lack of pretension, and her ongoing quest to explore ever more aspects of herself and her art, she is a role model to women of all ages.Olympia Dukakis’s award-winning role in Moonstruck made her a household name, but before that overnight success came twenty-eight years of hard work. For nineteen of those years, she was an integral part of running the Whole Theatre Company in Montclair, New Jersey, while she and her husband raised their three children. She managed to “have it all” — career, family, home — before having it all became fashionable (even if she did root for the wrong team at her sons’ soccer games — “We’re in the blue shirts, Mom”). She also managed to care for her aging mother, who developed Alzheimer’s and moved into the family home, completing Olympia’s three-generation family.In Ask Me Again Tomorrow, this internationally renowned film and stage star reveals her struggle to assimilate as a first-generation Greek-American, her long alienation from her mother and how that finally resolved itself, her battles with addiction and her volatile personal relationships, and the efforts it took for her to overcome all of this and achieve excellence in her professional calling. A story told with honesty, humor, and the sincere desire to be shared, Ask Me Again Tomorrow is more than acelebrity memoir — it’s a book that will endure.During a career that has spanned more than forty years, Olympia Dukakis has worked as an actress, director, producer, teacher, and activist. She received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, the New York Film Critics Award, the Los |

Australian Expatriates in Belgium: John Aloisi, Jason Culina, Aurelio Vidmar, Alex Brosque, Joey Didulica $9.25 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Appearances (Goals). National team caps and goals correct as of 17:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)John Aloisi (born 5 February 1976 in Adelaide, Australia) is an Australian football (soccer) striker who currently plays for Melbourne Heart in the A-League. He is the younger brother of Ross Aloisi. Aloisi signed for English Premiership side Coventry City in December 1998 from Portsmouth then of the lower division Championship League. The fee was £600,000. He made his debut in a 1-1 home draw with Derby, being introduced as substitute a few minutes from the end. In the next home game against Tottenham Hotspur, Aloisi was again on the bench. This time though he came off the bench to equalise in a 1-1 draw. Aloisi’s next notable performance came almost 12 months later in a historic 4-1 win away at Villa Park against Aston Villa. This was Coventry’s first ever away victory in the League against their Midlands rivals. Aloisi bagged two goals, playing his part in an excellent team performance. Aloisi started in the next game – a home match against fellow strugglers Charlton Athletic – but ended up being sent off for punching Danny Mills the Charlton player and banned from the game for some considerable time. Aloisi failed to claim a regular starting place for the next two seasons even though his club was short on goalscorers and the Sky Blues bought other strikers to the club. Many thought Aloisi lacked the pace and power and mental strength required for the Premiership and that he wasn’t technically gifted enough. In total he made just seven appearances during his first two seasons at the club. 2000/01 was a disappointing season for Coventry as they were relegated from the Premiership. Aloisi made just 18 appearances, only scoring 3 goals. Following rel… More: |

Excerpt: William “Billy” Ronson (born 22 January, 1957 in Fleetwood, Lancashire) is a retired English footballer who spent twelve seasons in the English leagues, one in the North American Soccer League, six in the Major Indoor Soccer League and another seven years in a variety of lower division indoor and outdoor leagues in the United States. He also coached at the collegiate and professional levels. Ronson, the son of Fleetwood stalwart Percy Ronson, began his career at Blackpool, making his debut in March 1975 against Nottingham Forest. He originally struggled to break into the side but eventually managed to establish himself in the first team. In 1978, he went on loan to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League. He was unable to prevent the club’s relegation during the 197778 season and spent one more year at the club before joining Cardiff City for a fee of £130,000, a club record at the time. He missed very few games in his two years at Ninian Park before growing disenchanted with the club’s lack of progress and leaving to join Wrexham. His only season at Wrexham ended in relegation, and he left to join Barnsley. He became popular at the Yorkshire club before falling out with manager Allan Clarke and being loaned to Birmingham City before being released and returning to Blackpool on non-contract terms. He moved to America in 1986 to join the Baltimore Blast of the Major Indoor Soccer League. He remained with the Blast for six seasons. The Blast collapsed at the end of the 1991-1992 season. In February 2009, the reconstituted Blast inducted Ronson into the team’s Hall of Fame. In June 1992, he signed with the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the American Professional Soccer League. In 1994, he joined the Baltimore Bays of the USISL. … More: |

Not illustrated. Excerpt: Aurora Basket Jesi, also known for sponsorship reasons as Fileni Jesi is an Italian professional basketball team from the town of Jesi. In that far 1965, Gianni Rossetti (a RAI – National TV Network – journalist), Carlo Barchiesi (current president) and Primo Novelli (who used to be in charge of the junior teams) who set up Aurora Basket couldnt foresee such a successful future for their new born team. It was in those years that Springoil, the most important basketball team of the city at that time, was very close to move up to the A League (the highest division of Italian professional basketball), but it wound up due to economical problems. (This team was set up by Ottorino Apolloni and since he died, a pre-season game is held in his memory every year). Hence immediately there was the need to re-launch basketball in Jesi. The first step was taken by Roberto Vigo. Also Roberto Mancini, one of the most popular soccer players in Italy, used to play in the ground of his parish when he was a child. Roberto Vigo proposed to Gianni Rossetti to set up a basketball team inside the Aurora Group. This way Aurora Basket was officially set up by the managers Rossetti, Barchiesi and Novelli together with President Mario Gherardi. The first season 1965/1966 was in the first Regional division and the team moved up only three years later. The team experienced a slow growth in the first years, but then it started to grow gradually when other new managers and the first sponsors joined the team and when the junior teams were started. At the same time, the senior team became more and more successful and only after 10 years Aurora moved up to an important national division (called D division) in the 1973/74 season. Since then the team has alway… More: |

Born in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, Pelter emigrated with his family to New Zealand at the age of eight and entered the New Zealand Football Academy whilst twelve years old.

Carlos Tevez: The Biography of Manchester City's Super Striker $7.17 Carlos Tevez is one of the Premier League's most lethal finishers, loved by Manchester United and Argentina fans alike, and respected by many more in the world of soccer. After completing a protracted and controversial move to Manchester from West Ham in August 2007, Tevez quickly established himself as a fans' favorite as he developed a deadly partnership with Wayne Rooney up front. During his first season with the club he scored an incredible 19 goals, which were instrumental in sealing the Reds' Premier League and Champions League Double in 2008. In his second season at United he has added the Club World Cup and League Cup to his trophy haul, scoring his first United hat trick in the process against Blackburn Rovers. And it isn't just United fans who hold Tevez in great esteem—he still commands a special place in the hearts of West Ham supporters after he scored an incredible winner against Manchester United on the last day of the 2006/7 season, which ensured West Ham's top-flight survival. Thanks to his stints at Boca juniors and Brazilian side Corinthians at the start of his career, he is also a popular figure across South America. On the international stage, he scored a phenomenal eight goals to seal gold medal victory for Argentina at the 2004 Olympic Games, and is a regular in the Argentina side. |

Excerpt: Club Olimpia is a traditional Paraguayan sports club based in Asunción, best known for its football (soccer) team. Founded in 1902, it is the oldest Paraguayan football club having won 38 1st division titles, the Copa Libertadores in 1979, 1990, and 2002; and the Intercontinental Cup in 1980. It is considered a classic football club by FIFA. Club Olimpia is the oldest football (soccer) team in Paraguay. It was founded July 25, 1902 by Dutchman William Paats, along with Paraguayans Sila Godoy, Fernando S. Pascual, José E. Torres, Gustavo M. Crovatto, Héctor Cabañas, Juan Rodi, Antonio Pedraza, Luis Marecos, Juan Mara and Genaro Gutiérrez Yegros. The act of foundation was written in the Rodi's family home, located in the streets of Azara and Independencia Nacional in downtown Asunción, Paraguay. That evening, three names for the club were suggested: Paraguay, Esparta and Olimpia. The final decision came to William Paats who chose Club Olimpia as the team official name, in honor of the Greek city of Olympia where the Olympic Games were born. The original kit was composed of a black shirt with the word OLIMPIA written in white across the chest and white shorts. Later, white and black were adopted as the colours for the team, with a white shirt with a horizontal black stripe. The alternate jersey is black with a white stripe, though in 2008 the stripe is vertical. The first national championship in Paraguay was played in 1906, after the foundation of the Paraguayan Football Association (APF). It wasn't until 1912 that Olimpia won a championship, facing Club Sol de América in the final. In that same year, Olimpia's biggest rival, Cerro Porteño, was founded. After a few championships won during the 1910s, Olimpia's next big |

Finn McCool's Football Club: The Birth, Death, and Resurrection of a Pub Soccer Team in the City of the Dead $4.12 "Stephen Rea uses one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history as the backdrop for a love story--not your average love story either, as it's also the love of a city, the ties that bind friends, and the passion for a sport. Soccer brings fans from around the globe together and that has never been proven more true than in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Rea's book brings one of the biggest stories of the century down to a touching, emotional, personal level in a solid debut effort."--Phil Schoen, GolTV commentatorIn 2004, Belfast-born Stephen Rea moved to New Orleans, a city where "football" means something entirely different than what it does for the British. After struggling to find a place to watch European soccer games, Rea discovered Finn McCool's pub and its mixed clientele of good-humored European ex-pats, charismatic New Orleanians, and assorted matchless personalities. Irishmen exchanged jokes with the Scots, and the Dutch, English, and South African sat together swapping stories over murky drinks. Rea the Ulsterman became a regular and before long he was playing on the pub's motley over-thirty-five fledgling soccer team.Gathered at the bar on August 27, 2005, members of the team were discussing their upcoming match, untroubled by the impending storm and unknowing that their city and team would nearly be obliterated by Hurricane Katrina in a matter of hours. Days later, the lucky among them were scattered across the country; the others struggled to survive as they awaited rescue in New Orleans. With clarity and compassion, Rea examines the disaster as he profiles the experiences of his teammates and their efforts to resurrect the team and pub that had become so central in all of their lives. A gripping and moving memoir about an unusual pub team and a devastating natural disaster, this work is a celebration of ex-pats and pubs, soccer and sportsmanship, and the strength it takes to rebuild a team, a city, and a life. |

Golden and Blue Like My Heart: Masculinity, Youth, and Power among Soccer Fans in Mexico City $45 For fans of pro soccer in Mexico City, the four most popular teams represent distinct identities that embody such attributes as political power, nationalism, and working-class values. One of these teams, the Pumas, is associated with youthfulness, and its equally youthful fans take pride in the fact that their heroes have not yet been corrupted by corporate or political interests. This ethnographic study examines Puma fans’ understanding of the ideal that the team represents, considers the practices they employ to express and sometimes contradict this ideal, and reveals how soccer fandom in contemporary Mexico has emerged as a nexus of tensions among competing visions of state and society.Roger Magazine takes readers inside Mexico’s soccer stadiums to explore young men’s participation in struggles over the future of that country’s urban society. His firsthand observations of the fan clubs—las porras—yield a unique inside look at confrontations in the stands over group organization, particularly at the emergence of rebel segments within the clubs. His study offers a close-up look at ground-level struggles over social organization in contemporary urban Mexico, showing how young male fans both blindly reproduce and consciously manipulate images of violence and disorder derived from national myths about typical urban Mexican men.Golden and Blue Like My Heart offers a new way of understanding the dynamics of fandom while shedding new light on larger social processes and youth culture in Mexico. And with its insight into soccer culture, politico-economic transition, and masculinity, it has important and wide-reaching implications for all of Latin America. |

Guatemalan Journey $0.25 Guatemala draws some half million tourists each year, whose brief visits to the ruins of ancient Maya cities and contemporary highland Maya villages may give them only a partial and folkloric understanding of Guatemalan society. In this vividly written travel narrative, Stephen Connely Benz explores the Guatemala that casual travelers miss, using his encounters with ordinary Guatemalans at the mall, on the streets, at soccer games, and even at the funeral of massacre victims to illuminate the social reality of Guatemala today.The book opens with an extended section on the capital, Guatemala City, and then moves out to the more remote parts of the country where the Guatemalan Indians predominate. Benz offers us a series of intelligent and sometimes humorous perspectives on Guatemala’s political history and the role of the military, the country’s environmental degradation, the influence of foreign missionaries, and especially the impact of the United States on Guatemala, from governmental programs to fast food franchises. |

Hardly Knew Her (Short Story) $0.99 New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman has been hailed as one of the best crime fiction writers in America today, winning virtually every major award in the genre. The author of the enormously popular series featuring Baltimore P.I. Tess Monaghan as well as three critically lauded stand-alone novels, Lippman now turns her attention to short stories—and reveals another level of mastery. Lippman sets many of the stories in this sterling anthology, Hardly Knew Her, in familiar territory: her beloved Baltimore, from downtown to its affluent suburbs, where successful businessmen go to shocking lengths to protect what they have or ruthlessly expand their holdings, while dissatisfied wives find murderous ways to escape their lives. But Lippman is also unafraid to travel—to New Orleans, to an unnamed southwestern city, and even to Dublin, the backdrop for the lethal clash of two not-so-innocents abroad. Tess Monaghan is here, in two stories and a profile, aligning herself with various underdogs. And in her extraordinary, never-before-published novella, Scratch a Woman, Lippman takes us deep into the private world of a high-priced call girl/madam and devoted soccer mom, exploring the mystery of what may, in fact, be written in the blood. Each of these ingenious tales is a gem—sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous, always filled with delightfully unanticipated twists and reversals. For people who have yet to read Lippman, get ready to experience the spellbinding power of “one of today’s most pleasing storytellers, hailed for her keen psychological insights and her compelling characterizations,” (San DiegoUnion-Tribune), who has “invigorated the crime fiction arena with smart, innovative, and exciting work” (George Pelecanos). As for longtime devotees of her multiple award-winning novels, you’ll discover that you hardly know her. |

Home and Away $12.95 By the time Germany and Costa Rica kicked off the 2006 World Cup in Munich, hundreds of thousands of soccer fans from around the globe had descended on the host nation to cheer on their national sides and soak up the atmosphere. Among them were a group of New York City soccer players celebrating an anniversary of sorts. At the tail end of the 2002 World Cup, inspired by many late nights watching live matches in some of the city’s crowded bars, the group of artists, photographers, and filmmakers began meeting in lower Manhattan’s Chinatown to play soccer a few mornings a week. Only a chain link fence shielded their pitch from the cacophony and traffic of the surrounding urban chaos. As they warmed up in the chill morning air, the smell of garbage from the nearby fish markets wafted over. Their spectators included bums sleeping off hangovers on the benches next to the field and Chinese immigrants finishing up their morning Tai Chi sessions. Some of them were playing for the first time, others rediscovering skills they had honed in high school or college. Still others found an outlet for a passion they had developed in their native countries: in England and Austria, Israel and Brazil. Even in the dead of winter, the love of soccer would get them out of bed at 8 in the morning several times a week to play for an hour or so before heading off to work. It would cost them extra in cable bills at the end of the month, or for pints at the pub to watch European matches at equally trying hours on Saturday mornings. They began calling themselves the Chinatown Soccer Club and by the time the 2006 World Cup rolled around, heading to Germany didn’t just seem like a good idea, it had become a requirement. This small book of photographs, Home and Away, is a record of that trip. Shot by Gerhard Stochl, Peter Sutherland, and Kevin Trageser, photographers who have all been integral members of the Chinatown Soccer Club since |

Home on the Field: How One Championship Soccer Team Inspires Hope for the Revival of Small Town America $0.25 A Home on the Field is about faith, loyalty, and trust. It is a parable in the tradition of Stand and Deliver and Hoosiers—a story of one team and their accidental coach who became certain heroes to the whole community. For the past ten years, Siler City, North Carolina, has been at the front lines of immigration in the interior portion of the United States. Like a number of small Southern towns, workers come from traditional Latino enclaves across the United States, as well as from Latin American countries, to work in what is considered the home of industrial-scale poultry processing. At enormous risk, these people have come with the hope of a better life and a chance to realize their portion of the American Dream. But it isn’t always easy. Assimilation into the South is fraught with struggles, and in no place is this more poignant than in the schools. When Paul Cuadros packed his bags and moved south to study the impact of the burgeoning Latino community, he encountered a culture clash between the long-time residents and the newcomers that eventually boiled over into an anti-immigrant rally featuring former Klansman David Duke. It became Paul’s goal to show the growing numbers of Latino youth that their lives could be more than the cutting line at the poultry plants, that finishing high school and heading to college could be a reality. He needed to find something that the boys could commit to passionately, knowing that devotion to something bigger than them would be the key to helping the boys find where they fit in the world. The answer was soccer. But Siler City, like so many other small rural communities, was a football town, and long-time residents saw soccer as a foreign sport and yet another accommodation to the newcomers. After an uphill battle, the Jets soccer team at Jordan-Matthews High School was born. Suffering setbacks and heartbreak, the majority Latino team, in only three seasons and against all odds, |

Incendiary $15 A distraught woman writes a letter to Osama bin Laden after her four-year-old son and her husband are killed in a massive suicide bomb attack at a soccer match in London. In an emotionally raw voice alive with grief, compassion, and startling humor, she tries to convince Osama to abandon his terror campaign by revealing to him the desperate sadness—“I am a woman built on the wreckage of myself”—and the broken heart of a working-class life blown apart.But the bombing is only the beginning. While security measures transform London into a virtual occupied territory, the narrator, too, finds herself under siege. At first she gains strength by fighting back, taking a civilian job with the police to aid the antiterrorist effort. But when she becomes involved with an upper-class couple, she is drawn into a psychological maelstrom of guilt, ambition, and cynicism that erodes her faith in the society she’s working to defend. And when a new bomb threat sends the city into a deadly panic (“It was a panic like the darkest dream and the more people ran out onto the streets the bigger the panic got like a monster made of human beings”) she is pushed to acts of unfathomable desperation—perhaps her only chance for survival.A surreal vision made brilliantly, viscerally powerful and undeniable, Incendiary is a stunning debut novel.The author responded to the tragic events which took place in London on July 7, 2005.

Independiente Medell N $14.14 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Corporación Deportiva Independiente Medellín is a professional Colombian football (soccer) team competing in Fútbol Profesional Colombiano, the Colombian first division. The club is based in the city of Medellín and founded in 1913. It has won the league’s national tournament known as Copa Mustang five times: in 1955, 1957, 2002-II, 2004-I and 2009-II. Its best performance at international level was in 2003, when the team achieved the third place in the Copa Libertadores de América. Medellín’s greatest rival is with the city’s other major club Atlético Nacional, with whom they share the home stadium Atanasio Girardot. The team is dubbed “El Poderoso de la Montaña” or the powerful of the mountain due to Medellín’s geographical location high in the Andean mountains. The rivalry is especially strong due to each team’s main support club, Rexixtenxia Norte for Medellín and Los Del Sur for Atlético Nacional. The two clubs are named with the location that they occupy in the stadium where Rexixtenxia occupies the section behind the northern goal and Los Del Sur occupy the section behind the southern goal. In 2004 Medellín and Nacional classified to the final of the Mustang Cup; in Antioquia everybody was very excited because this was the first “Paisa” final of the history of the short tournaments. This system requires 2 games to be the champion, in the first game, Medellín won 2-1 with a goal of Rafael Castillo in the 87 minute after the goals of Jorge Serna (DIM) and Carlos “Chumi” Alvarez in the first half. The final game was in the 27 of June, and it ended 0-0 and Medellín became the champion of the Colombian National League. Medellín won its third league title after 45 years |
