I think he's special, the kind of player that can worry a lot a defence, but not the one that can win matches... but he's still young, he will be better. If you notice since Messi plays in Barça they haven't won a thing. Not because of him but he's not the kind of player that makes you win. BTW tomorrow the classic american derbi. Brazil vs Argentina.

Sympathy and prayers to the families of those that perished in the tragic airline crash in Madrid today. 141 of the 164 passengers reportedly perished after a Spanair MD82 flight bound for Las Palmas crashed after it aborted its takeoff from Madrid-Barajas Airport.
Reports claimed that the left hand engine of the plane caught fire on a second attempt at take off. The plane was said to had only made it a few metres off the ground before going back down and crashing, splitting the airline in two. The match between Denmark and Spain in Copenhagen was threatened with cancellation due to the events in Madrid but officials agreed to allow the match to go ahead. Scheduled celebrations of Spain's EURO victory and the retirement of Danish player Thomas Helveg have been cancelled and a minutes silence will be held just before kickoff. Both teams will wear black armbands.

Gold for Argentina again. Di Maria's goal in parabol shot ("vaselina" is the name here... cause when the ball is on the floor the feet does like giving vaseline to the ball so it flies this way. I've found some names on the dictionary: chip, Banana shot (:lol
curler, well you know what it is.
And Robinho is quite in the similar situation than Cristiano was. "I want to go out of Real Madrid", Chelsea? How much?

This Wednesday 2nd match of the last qualifying for the Champions League. It's not a league and the teams are not champions, but they put it that name... The draw of the group stages is gonna be the day after the matches. 28 Aug. I guess fantasy football will begin that date. I hope someday you'll join us.
actually even if you didn't have a clue of football you can select the "more selected players" or the "players with more points" and still seem like you do.

End of The Spanish "Supercopa". The tournament between the League and Cup champions. Valencia won 3-2 the first match but Real Madrid has won 4-2 this one. One of the strangest match ever. Silva makes the first goal in minute 30. 0-1 Real Madrid playing very bad then. Van der Vaart, red card in minute 35- Van Nistelrooy scores a penalty in minute 50, playing with 10. Red card for Van Nistelrooy in minute 55. Real Madrid plays with 9 against 11 and scores 3 goals to 4-1. Morientes scores at the end for Valencia and 4-2. Football is so complicated that taking some players out of your team can be good sometimes. Even two, I don't know of any other sport like this. Robinho was with the substitutes but didn't play.

Why do I get the feeling Liverpool will now go on and lift the trophy?
: Mixed feelings about the Atletico-Schalke result. My two favorite clubs are FC Cologne and FC Barcelona, so the Bundesliga and La Liga are the leagues I tend to follow the most. I like to see them represented well in Europe, and realistically Atletico v Schalke could have been a Round of 16 matchup. Now the Bundesliga is down to only two clubs in the Champions League.
On the other hand, I love the prospects of La Liga sides doing well in the CL this season. Villarreal and Atletico have had a great summer spending spree getting good value for money spent. The Fantasy Football game for the Champions League should be up in a couple of weeks. I'll post the link for anyone interested. Daniel and I have played alone for a while and I think he needs some better challengers.
I tend to do well in the UEFA Cup version though.

Beckham caught offside.

The time has come, Spanish League begins.

No players from Villarreal in those pics. And I'm calling it now: Villarreal will win the league.

He plays in Villarreal.
Well, I don't think Barça is a fav to be league and there's a lot of his players above. For me the main fav is Real Madrid, then Villarreal, and then Valencia and Atletico de Madrid.

21st Century Paul:
He plays in Villarreal.
Ah, I can't believe I missed Senna.
ops: Torres out of Spain's squad because of injury, replaced by Raúl. Er, I mean Bojan, Raúl's lookalike.

and the Barça hope to score goals when a defence goes back, he's the most similar player to Raul in the team(Probably you would say "fortunately" about this...)
