Adrián Dalmau in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at PSIM this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The Ezequiel Vidal story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Ezequiel Vidal signs something — a contract at PSIM or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
