TEAM CANADA, led by Uruguayan Canadian coach Oscar Cardozo and his technical assistant coach, Argentinean Canadian Gabriel Soza, have received the results of Cali 2013 The World Games Draw for the Men's Futsal Competition. A very competitive pool for the red and white with the maple leaf in the heart, having as rivals in the first stage Argentina, Russia (third in the world) and Czech Republic.

Cardozo has been training with the group intensely during the last month - team already have been practicing at Westview Collegiate for the past three months - and in its latest friendly they defeated Regional TEAM NIAGARA FC by the final score of 8-2 with 3 goals by Nicolas Martinez, 2 by Johan Vargas, 1 by Mario Espinoza, 1 Martin De Marco, 1 Nicolas Farfaglia, Two-times Canadian World Cup Goalkeeper Joshua Lemos, Chiruzo, Nicolas Cordero-Ramirez and Mauricio Hernandez, were in the first 12 players for that friendly.


 

Currently, TEAM CANADA is working with a roster of 24 players, but only 12 of them will make to the final cut for the Futsal at The World Games, to be held in Gualajara de Buga, 60 kms away from Cali, Colombia, during July 27 to August 4, 2013. For the semifinals, the top national team in each of the three groups, plus the second best overall, will play for the right for bronze to gold medals.

 

FUTSAL – ITS ORIGIN AND GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT

 

Futsal started in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1930 when Juan Carlos Ceriani created a version of indoor football for recreation in YMCAs. This new sport was developed originally on basketball courts and a rule book was published in September 1933, the South American Futsal Confederation was formed, consisting of Uruguay, Paraguay, Peru, Argentina and Brazil.

 

The sport began to spread across South America, and its popularity ensured that a governing body was formed under the name of FIFUSA (Federación Internacional de Fútbol de Salón) in 1971, comprising Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal and Uruguay, along with the World Championships. The first FIFUSA World Championships were held in São Paulo, with host Brazil crowned champion ahead of Paraguay and Uruguay. Even more countries participated in the second World Championships held in Madrid in 1985.  Due to a dispute between FIFA and FIFUSA over the name of fútbol, FIFUSA has registered the word futsal in 1985, Madrid, Spain.

 

The game is frequently referred to as Five-A-Side.  Once Ceriani got the ball rolling, Futsal gained rapid popularity throughout South America, particularly in Brazil.  The skill developed in this game is visible in the world-famous style the Brazilians display outdoors on the full-sized field. Pele, Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, Robinho, Bebeto, Marta, Romario,  and other Brazilian superstars developed their skill playing Futsal.  While Brazil continues to be the Futsal hub of the world, the game is now played all over the world, from Europe to North and Central America and the Caribbean, South America, Africa, and Asia and Oceania

 

In 2002, members of PANAFUTSAL (Pan-American Futsal Confederation) formed AMF (World Futsal Association), an international futsal governing body, maintaining FIFUSA‘s ‘Historical’ Leadership in World Futsal. Exercising its sovereign right, the Federación Internacional de Fútbol de Salón (FIFUSA) resolved on Dec. 1, 2002, to change its name, to update its social and sport objectives and reorganize its structure in order accommodate new and existing demands.  From that date, the Asociación Mundial de Futsal (AMF) is the new worldwide organization that reunites FIFUSA’s member countries, maintaining the historical, cultural and sports leadership of its predecessor. The sport is different from and independent of any other existing world-wide organization, it is play in 5 vs. 5 style in a hardwood floor hall.

 

 


 

The latest Men’s Futsal World Championship was held in Colombia IN 2011 and the host country resulted the champion. The first Youth Under-12 World Futsal Championship took place in Quito, Ecuador in 2003, with 16 countries participating.  The second Youth Under-12 World Futsal Championship was also held in Quito, Ecuador in 2004. The First Women’s Futsal World Cup was held on 2008 and won by Catalunya.

Now, in 20013, Colombia will host II Women’s Futsal World Cup with the participation of 16 national teams, and TEAM CANADA WNT will be one of them.

Jodi Arias trial jury foreman calls decision 'gut-wrenching'

Jury foreman: Jodi Arias a bad witness

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • "It just doesn't wash," foreman tells ABC
  • "We couldn't allow ourselves to be emotional," William Zervakos says
  • He says Travis Alexander abused Jodi Arias
  • "Is that an excuse? Of course not," he says

 A day after a jury deadlocked on whether Jodi Arias should be sentenced to death for the murder of her ex-boyfriend, the jury foreman described the decision process as tense and emotional.
"It was a gut-wrenching thing we had to go through, and everybody had to make their own decision," William Zervakos told ABC's "Good Morning America."
The foreman said some of the most difficult testimony to hear came from the dead man's relatives. "Until you're face to face with people that have gone through something like that, it's something that you really can't put into words," he said. "I'm 6 feet away from somebody talking about a horrendous loss, and if you can't feel that, then you have no emotion, no soul. And yet we couldn't allow ourselves to be emotional on the stand.
"We couldn't allow ourselves to show emotion, although I'm sure some came through, and I'm very, very proud of my peers and my jurors that were with us because they did a fantastic job of holding it together."
New jury to hear Arias penalty testimony

Baez advice: 'Take death off the table'
That stoicism in the face of emotional testimony disappeared in the jury room, he said.
Zervakos said the 32-year-old defendant simply did not fit his image of a murderer. "When you look at a young woman and you think of the crime, and then you see the brutality of the crime, it just doesn't wash," he said. "It's very difficult to divest yourself from the personal, from the emotional part of it."
Though the jury did not believe Arias' story that she killed Travis Alexander in self-defense, Zervakos said he believed Alexander abused her. "I'm very sure, in my own mind, that she was mentally and verbally abused," he said. "Now, is that an excuse? Of course not. Does it factor into decisions we make? It has to."
Zervakos said Arias' 18 days on the stand hurt her case. "She was not a good witness," he said. "There were so many contradicting stories."
But he expressed sympathy for her ability to endure her time on the stand. "I think the way the prosecutor was with her -- he's known for an aggressive style -- I think it was very hard, I think it would be difficult for anybody."
A retrial for the penalty phase will begin on July 18, Judge Sherry Stephens said.
Jurors had deliberated since Tuesday on whether Arias should get a death sentence for the 2008 murder.
A source with knowledge of the jury's vote said there was an 8-4 split in favor of sentencing Arias to death.
Jurors refused to talk to reporters and immediately left the courtroom.
The hung jury brought to a close a chapter in the high-profile case, which has lasted for months.
But the trial isn't over. In many states, the death penalty would be off the table if the jury couldn't agree.
Not Arizona.
In a written statement, Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery said prosecutors "will proceed with the intent to retry the penalty phase."
"We appreciate the jury's work in the guilt and aggravation phases of the trial, and now we will assess, based upon available information, what the next steps will be," he said.
Emotions ran high in the courtroom as the jury's deadlock was announced. Arias appeared to be on the verge of tears. One of Alexander's sisters sobbed.
Even the voice of the normally stoic judge cracked as she dismissed jurors.
"Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the participants in this trial, I wish to thank you for your extraordinary service to this community," she told them. "This was not your typical trial. You were asked to perform very difficult responsibilities."
As the jury filed out of the courtroom, one juror said, "I'm sorry" to Alexander's family.
Jurors had deliberated for more than 13 hours in the penalty phase of the trial when they told the court they wouldn't be able to agree on a verdict.
On May 8, the same jurors decided in 15 hours that Arias was "exceptionally cruel" when she stabbed Alexander 29 times, slit his neck from ear to ear and shot him in the face. They pronounced her guilty of first-degree murder.
For Arias to be sentenced to death, a jury's decision must be unanimous.
If Arias is sentenced to death, she would be the fourth woman on death row in Arizona. On Tuesday, she pleaded with jurors to spare her.
She called Alexander's murder "the worst mistake" she had ever made, "the worst thing I've ever done." She couldn't have imagined herself capable of such a grisly crime, Arias told the jury.
"But I know that I was," she said. "And for that I'm going to be sorry for the rest of my life -- probably longer."
Arias was living in Yreka, California, when she met Alexander at a business convention in Las Vegas in September 2006. That November, he baptized Arias into the Mormon faith, a ceremony Arias said was followed by anal sex.
Arias became his girlfriend two months later, she testified. They broke up in the summer of 2007, and Alexander began dating other women.
In June 2008, Alexander missed two appointments, prompting friends to go to his house. They found his naked body crammed in a stand-up shower.
He had been stabbed 29 times in the back and torso and shot in the head. His throat was slit.
After her arrest, Arias told an elaborate lie about masked intruders breaking into Alexander's house and killing him before she narrowly escaped.
Relatives who spoke with police described her as mentally unstable.
The trial, which started in January, has been rife with talk of sex, lies and digital images -- among them graphic autopsy photos.

El brasileño Neymar "parte hacia España para jugar al fútbol y ser feliz", afirmó hoy el empresario Wagner Ribeiro, uno de los representantes del jugador, quien sin embargo no aclaró si fichará por el Barcelona o el Real Madrid.
Ribeiro escribió ese mensaje en su cuenta en Twitter después de asistir la noche de este viernes a una reunión con directivos del Santos, en la que también participaron el propio jugador y su padre, Neymar da Silva.
Tras esa reunión, que concluyó esta madrugada, Neymar declaró a periodistas que pretendía decidir sobre su posible salto a Europa junto a sus familiares.
"Voy a decidir con mi familia, pues no tengo prisa y la decisión puede salir en cinco minutos, en media hora o en tres días", dijo el delantero, quien tampoco aclaró cuál sería su destino.
El Santos divulgó una nota oficial tras la reunión, en la que admitió que había decidido aceptar "dos ofertas", sin precisar de qué clubes se trataba.
Sin embargo, el vicepresidente del Santos, Odilio Rodrigues, confirmó luego que una oferta es del Barcelona y la otra del Real Madrid, aunque declinó revelar los valores.
Según afirmaron hoy medios locales, el Barcelona ha ofrecido 28 millones de euros por la ficha de Neymar, mientras que el Real Madrid ha subido el listón hasta los 35 millones de euros.
Desde Barcelona, sin embargo, la TV3 ha asegurado que el delantero le costará 40 millones de euros al club catalán, que anunciará este fin de semana su contratación.
La decisión final estaría en manos del propio Neymar, quien aún no ha hecho otros comentarios sobre el asunto. En todo caso, medios españoles como Marca sostienen que ya habría elegido ser compañero de Lionel Messi y Alexis Sánchez.
El Santos ha confirmado que el atacante jugará mañana frente al Flamengo, en un partido correspondiente a la primera jornada del Campeonato Brasileño que se disputará en Brasilia y pudiera suponer su última aparición con la camisa blanca del club brasileño.
Después de ese partido, Neymar deberá integrarse a la selección brasileña que disputará la Copa Confederaciones, que comenzará el 15 de junio próximo, también en Brasilia, con un partido entre los conjuntos de Brasil y Japón.
