Sunray Cave FC 3-4 LiverpoolLiverpool was easily leading two nil after only twenty minutes, but Guangdong’s team Sunray Cave managed to score two goals during additional time, to make the final scoreline 3-4. Charlie Adam made his debut for Liverpool in the second half of the match. The team is now in Malaysia, and they will play Malaysia XI on Saturday.
Goal scorers: (Liv) Poulsen, N’gog, Coady and Carroll;
(Sun) Steer, Lin and Hongbo


Malaysia XI 0-4 ArsenalArsenal’s Ramsey scored an early penalty at only six minutes and the team go on to score another three goals, the home team was having a hard time trying to find a way to fight back. Arsene Wenger must be happy to see his boys playing just fine with Fabregas absence.This is only the first stop of Arsenal’s Asia Tour, their next stop will be China.
Goal scorers: Ramsey, Walcott, Vela and Rosicky

New England 1-4 Manchester UnitedFirst half looked kind of dull but when United actually start scoring, it just kept coming. Ashley Young made his debut for the team, and apparently Sir Alex Ferguson was very impressed with his performance. Let’s see what will happened in the following friendlies when both De Gea and Phil Jones join the team after their holiday.
Goal scorers: (Man Utd) Owen, Macheda (2), Park
(New Eng) Mansally     


The Women’s World Cup finalists are USA and Japan. The scorelines of the two matches were identical, both ended with 3-1 and their progresses were almost the same!

USA scored an early goal at 9 minutes and France found an equalizer in the early stage of second half, but then USA went on to score two more goals and that sent them straight into the Final.

On the other hand, Japan too, scored an early goal at 10 minutes and Sweden found an equalizer soon after, but then Japan went on to score two more goals in the second half which secure their place in the Final.

Final will play on Sunday. Japan vs USA!

Meanwhile the disappointments in COPA 2011 seem to come to an end (Well, hopefully). After seeing Argentina’s tango, Brazil finally found back their samba steps. Neymar’s hair finally poked opponents in their face, and he netted two goals last night. So did Pato, who was disappointing in the previous matches, scored two goals in this morning’s game. Therefore all the quarterfinalists were out:
Colombia vs Peru
Argentina vs Uruguay
Brazil vs Paraguay
Chile vs Venezuela
Let’s see who will shine till the end!
