THE COPA BIMBO

YES!!! There is a Copa Bimbo! It is a pre-season tournament held in Uruguay that was just started last year. It is composed of four teams who play a two-day tournament in Montevideo. The 2010 version features Nacional de Montevideo, Penarol, Danubio (all Uruguayan teams) and an invited team from another country. Club Atletico Banfield of Argentina was invited but turned it down, so the fourth team this year is Nacional de Paraguay. It is sponsored by the Mexican bakery company, Bimbo. XD

Here are a few pics from the game between Nacional de Montevideo and Penarol, won by Nacional on penalties.
