Ched Evans Guilty Verdict Announced, Heading to Jail


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A Ched Evans guilty verdict has just been announced. Ched Evans faces five years in jail, a court said of the Sheffield United striker today. Evans, a Sheffield United and Wales football star, moments ago learned that he will face upwards of five years in jail for being found guilty of criminal charges stemming from a North Wales encounter with a female.
Clayton McDonald was found not guilty.Both men encountered the woman, 19, in May 2011 inside a North Wales hotel. But a court just ruled that the female was “too drunk to consent” to have relations with Evans.

The woman has said that she has no memory of the night because of alcohol consumption. The jury received the case in April and had to decide if McDonald or Evans had consensual or non consensual relations.

Ryan Roberts, Evans’ brother, watched while Jack Higgins videotaped the encounter. Evans told the jury that he and the woman had relations. But he claims she was not drunk but “in control of her actions”.

Judge Merfyn Hughes QC told the court this week “You need to reach a conclusion on what was the complainant’s state of intoxication… was she just disinhibited or had what she’d taken removed her capacity to exercise a choice?” Evans has yet to state if he will appeal.

Peru vs. Chile 2012 International Friendly Renews Previous Showdowns

CORAL GABLES (LALATE) – Wednesday’s Peru vs. Chile 2012 international friendly match will renew two previous showdowns between the teams from last year. Peru vs. Chile 2012 (en vivo 6 PM PST) will be the third time these teams have met since July’s Copa America. And while Chile is hoping to achieve its third consecutive defeat of Peru, the Peruvians are hoping for new changes in this new year.

Peru vs. Chile 2012 is one of two major international friendly matches this Wednesday. But as soccer news notes, this is the only match in which the teams have battled twice before in less than one year. And there is a lot at stake for Chile.

The first time the two teams battled was in the Copa America 2011 group action. During that showdown, Chile’s defense kept Peru scoreless. Chile defeated Peru. But because of ranking and scoring, both teams made news, advancing to the quarterfinals.

In the quarterfinals, Chile shocked news, falling to Venezuela 1-2. Peru, however, advanced all the way to the semi-finals. After being defeated by Uruguay, Peru beat Venezuela to finish third in the Copa America.

Since that showdown, Peru has battled in three international friendly matches and three Copa Mundial (World Cup) qualifiers for the CONMEBOL. In the International Friendly matches, Peru delighted national news with its undefeated record. It had a draw in all three matches. In World Cup qualifiers, however, Peru, won only one of three matches.

Chile, in contrast, played only two international friendly since last year’s Copa America. Chile was defeated by Mexico but later beat Paraguay. In World Cup qualifiers, however, it has been differnet news for Chile. In those qualifiers, Chile has won three of four showdowns.

Wednesday’s game, however, will renew tensions between these teams last seen on October 11. That’s the last time these two countries met in a critical qualifier. During that CONMEBOL showdown, neither team proved to have a strong defense. In the end, Chile defeated Peru 4-2. For updates on Wednesday’s game, click HERE.

Costa Rica vs. Honduras 2012 Battle in International Friendly

Costa Rica vs. Honduras 2012 Battle in International Friendly


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – When Costa Rica vs. Honduras 2012 (en vivo 6 PM EST) battle in their International Friendly, the two teams will renew a classic rivalry. Costa Rica vs. Honduras 2012 is airing Wednesday live in demand on Cox, Time Warner and Comcast channels for what soccer news is promising to be one of the best showdowns this month. It will, however, renew a previous showdown between the countries from June 18 last year.

Costa Rica enters this showdown after advancing to the quarterfinals in the Copa Oro last year but after being eliminated in the group round of the Copa America. Honduras, in turn, reached the semi-finals the Copa Oro, impressing news and fans at the time.

Wednesday’s match will be Honduras’ first international friendly competition since August of last year. Since then, Honduras has played five International Friendly matches, winning three of them. The team shocked news with a strong 2-0 defeat of Venezuela. Later that year, Honduras won back-to-back matches against Jamaica and Serbia. But during the fall, Honduras shocked news with their scoreless losses to Columbia and Paraguay.

Honduras’ year started off better, though. In 2011, Honduras defeated Guatemala to advance to the quarterfinals of the Gold Cup (Copa Oro). But in that match, it defeated Costa Rica. In the semi-finals, Honduras fell to Mexico, the tournament’s winner.

Costa Rica, however, has shocked news with three losses in just four international friendly matches since August last year. Costa Rica has been defeated by Ecuador, Brazil, and Panama since the Copa America. And in the Copa America, Costa Rica disappointed fans. The team couldn’t advance out of the group action, falling to Colombia and Argentina.

Yet, when Costa Rica vs. Honduras 2012 take to the field tomorrow, fans will be reminded of one previous showdown, the June 18 quarter-finals of the Copa Oro. During that shocking match, Costa Rica and Honduras ended regular time tied after Dennis Marshall scored for Costa Rica, and Jerry Bengston scored for Honduras. But on penalty kicks, Costa Rica fell apart. Marshall, Bryan Gonzalez, and Joel Gampbell could only score for Costa Rica. Honduras won on penalty kicks because of Carlos Costly, Victor Blanco, Wilson Suazo, and Bengston. For updates for tomorrow’s match, click HERE.

Honduras vs. Mexico 2012 Battle in CONCACAF U23 Finals Soccer Match



LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Honduras vs. Mexico 2012 (en vivo 8 PM EST) will battle in CONCACAF’s Finals futbol match Monday April 2. Honduras vs. Mexico 2012 advance to the finals after they confirmed news predictions, defeating their semi-finals opponents last night in stunning games. Both Honduras and Mexico came into Saturday’s matches as boasting high scoring, strong skilled strikers. Yesterday, both teams proved too potent for their opponents, El Salvador and Canada. But what will happen when both Honduras and Mexico battle head-to-head on Monday?

The Honduras vs. Mexico 2012 April 2 soccer match will be one of the best between these rivalry countries in recent memory. On Saturday, with compelling defenses, these two countries proved what it takes to win against formidable opponents.

First, El Salvador vs. Honduras 2012 confirmed news predictions with a 2-3 final score victory for Honduras; Honduras picked up the win after late scoring actions. El Salvador scored first in Saturday’s match with a strong strike by Molina at the seventy-seven minute mark. But less than a half hour later, Rodas put up numbers for Honduras. Later in the match, Rodas would give the team its critical goal. Sanchez shocked news with a difficult goal at the one hundred mark, but fourteen minutes later, Roadas tied up the match.

In Mexico vs. Canada 2012, the final score ended just as LALATE had predicted. A 3-1 win for Mexico confirmed the Mexicans’ unmatched scoring abilities this tournament. Mexico has barely ever been defeated in four years, and has rarely and if ever ended a game with a mere single goal. Two of three players that LALATE predicted would score did exactly that. Fabian and Pulido have been the stars of the tournament. And last night, they continued to destroy their competition.

Fabian scored at the twenty minute mark. Minutes later, Haber tied it up for Canada. But less than sixty-seconds after Haber, Pulido put Mexico in the lead. A later goal by Ponce ended the match for Mexico.

“I feel very happy,” said Mexico coach Luis Fernando Tena in a news statement last night. “It is a very good generation of players we have here. When you’re coach of the national team, you get a lot of criticism, so you have to be ready. A lot of good things have happened to us, I am very very happy for the players.” He added “I think we deserved it.”

Mexico vs. Canada 2012 Today Prompts CONCACAF U23 Olympic Showdown

Mexico vs. Canada 2012 CONCACAF en vivo hoy U23 Renews Olympic Soccer Rivalry



LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Mexico vs. Canada 2012 (en vivo hoy 9 pm EST) will renew an Olympic rivalry en today’s CONCACAF U23 soccer semifinals showdown. The Mexico vs. Canada 2012 soccer game’s start time is still a few hours away; but since the quarterfinals, these two talented teams have drawn international news coverage. Canada has a strong defense coming into tonight’s game. But Mexico has unmatched offensive team with Marco Fabián and Javier Aquino (fotos below). The ganador of Mexico vs. Canada 2012 en vivo futbol showdown will face the winner of El Salvador vs. Honduras 2012 next week. But who will win?

In tonight’s Mexico vs. Canada 2012, the key will be scoring. Throughout earlier rounds, Mexico’s key has been Pulido and Fabian. But if Mexico intends to beat the Canadians, the rest of their team needs to demonstrate scoring flexibility. And if Canada intends to win, they rely on one goal to defeat the Mexicans.

Throughout these Olympic qualifiers, Pulido has lead Mexico’s team scoring with four goals. He is followed by attacker Fabian with three. For the rest of the team, one four other players, however, have scored to date. Jimenez, Reyes, Cortes, and Torres each have one goal. But with Canada expected to increase defense against Pulido and Fabian tonight, Mexico will have to rely on the rest of its field, ready to score.

Mexico’s scoreboard of games this decade is a sea of green images with green representing wins. The team hasn’t been defeated in four years since its March 2008 showdown against Guatemala. With a 1-2 loss, that game represented only one of of only two defeats for Mexico this decade. The other to make news was the 1-0 loss to the Korea Republic during the 2004 Olympics.

But Mexico news analysts remember one other notable game this decade. In 2008, Mexico had its other non-win against Canada. Tonight, Mexico faces the only country to earn a draw against them since 2004.

The news for Canada is far more troubling. Canada hasn’t been scoring well in recent games. For 2012, the team has earned a mere three goals, total. That scoring difficulty has been led by Henry, Cavallini, and James. For Canada to defeat the Mexicans tonight, however, they need to be prepared to score more goals than they have been doing this year.

The field of games for Canada in the last four years has been far more problematic. Canada since 2004 has played twelve games and has only won three of them. Why has Canada been defeated so many times? A quick perusal of those games show that Canada has rarely, if ever, been able to score more than a single goal per game. In fact, of the two wins, one was a scoreless game won only on penalty kicks.

News analysts predict Mexico to be the favorite for tonight’s game. If Mexico does win, fans will see either a Mexico vs. El Salvador 2012 or Mexico vs. Honduras 2012 game on April 2. The finals air en vivo at 8 pm EST. For updates on scoring, click HERE.
