if he is snapped up by a European club.

After the tournament, Peraita said, “I would love to come and play in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749. It would be a nice challenge and great experience for me."
However, a great goalscorer is nothing without a well-oiled group behind him. And in all areas, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cruz-Azul-c38869), goalkeeper,
Jose http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jorge-c19120 Enriquez (Chivas Guadalajara), were the standout performers in the tournament.
Brazil national side manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mano-c23341 Menezes arrive in London with the best offensive sides in the world. The Olympic tournament was seen as a good preparation for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Selecao, after a long while, has seen so many talented offensive
players playing at the same time.
The likes of Romulo, Leandro Damiao, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 were huge for the Samba Kings throughout the tournament but in the end, it was Mexicans who prevailed.

Hondurans managed to do the unthinkable when they beat Spain 1-0 in the group stages to seal a place in the last eight of the competition. 25-year-old Kansas City player, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/New-England-Revolution-c40026 star, Jerry Bengston, shone for Los Catrachos.

Britain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ismail-Matar-c17124 showed just why he deserves to be given
a chance to play in Europe.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gabon-c2902 did well in the tournament too and 19-year-old Franck Engonga should be hopeful of a bright future just like young Moroccan star Labyad Zakaria who will play for Sporting CP this season.
Belarusian http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Renan-Bressan-c30813 was impressive too so don’t be surprised if these names crop up in the future.
