Barcelona smoked this week

Saturday, 25 October 08, 08:40 PM

Barcelona really put the goals on the first half agains Almeria. Lean, mean goal shooting machine in the early going. Almeria was promoted in the 2007-08 and had a decent showing.
In the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona smoked Basel.
Way to goool. I mean go.

spoke too soon. Hamburg back on top in Bundesliga

Sunday, 19 October 08, 05:10 PM

Well, Hoffenheim was in first for a day. With the games today Hamburg is back on top.
I would like to see Hoffenheim do something this season. It would be a great story. Read my yesterdays blog for more details. Hoffenheim was in Regionalliga Sud in 2006-07. Bundesliga 2nd Division 2007-08 and was promoted once again to Bundesliga 1st Division. Hoffenheim is putting some money into the club the past few years. Inquiring some good players to build their program up. Like a comment in my blog (oleole.com) said, go Hoffenheim.

Who's in First in Bundesliga-TSG 1899 Hoffenheim

Saturday, 18 October 08, 06:25 PM

Did you noticed who is in first place in Bundesliga? TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. 2006-07 they were in Regionalliga Süd. They finished 2nd. They were promoted to 2nd Division Bundesliga. 2007-08 they finished 2nd and was promoted to Bundesliga 1st Division. Now they are in first place. What a story. We will see if they hold up.
Bayern Munich is currently in 11th. What a slide. New coach, goalie and some other changes. Bayern Munich finally won today.

Barcelona loses to who?

Sunday, 31 August 08, 05:23 PM

Tough day for Barcelona. Losing to a newly promoted CD Numancia. The heat is on the Club President and the new Manager. Congratulations to CD Numancia. Promoted to the 1st Division and taking on what is suppose to be Mighty Barcelona. CD Numancia won in front of their home crowd. This is the 4th time CD Numancia has been promoted. Let's see if they can change history. Past three times they went back to the 2nd Division after one season. CD Numancia won the 2nd Division title 2007-08.
Barcelona has really struggled on the road. To be a competitive club, you must win at home and win away.
CD Numancia's next game is La Liga Champion Real Madrid. Real Madrid looked flat today and lost. This will be a test for CD Numancia if they really can compete againts the big teams. Small Club playing in a big league. It will be tough.

Real Madrid vs. Deportivo La Coruna: Tough loss for Real Madrid. Deportivo pulled a win againts La Liga Champions. Real Madrid really didn't look that good last year. The whole league was down. Real Madrid was just the best dispite Sevilla, Barcelona and Valencia were down.

Valencia vs. Real Mallorca: Is Valencia back? They sure put a beating on Mallorca who just missed the UEFA Cup Division last season. I didn't have a chance to see the game, once I do, I will post my thoughts. Next game, Osasuna for Mallorca. That game will tell us if they are any good. Osasuna has not been that good, we will see how this plays out. If Mallorca is any good, they should beat Osasuna.

I love La Liga. Glad it is back! :-)

Sweet-New Season is Here

Saturday, 30 August 08, 10:19 PM

I am so excited that the Bundesliga, La Liga and other League's have kicked off.
Spanish La Liga is my favorite league. Will Real Madrid repeat, will Barcelona reclaim the title?
Many questions will be answered by next May. It will be a exciting season. Villareal was a nice suprise last season as Barcelona, Sevilla FC and Valencia were a major dissapointment. Barca a dissapointment being in third. Yes. I felt they were strong enough to win it all. The big shocker of last season was the tumble of Zaragoza. Going from UEFA Cup to being regulated. Yikes. Major down spin.
Bundesliga: Will Bayern Munich repeat. New Coach and Goalie. The great Kahn has retired. He was fun to watch. Gave 120%. Competition in Bundesliga will be fun to watch.
Mexico: The shocker of last season was the down spin of America. Maybe aging. Changes needed to be made. It was. It will be interesting to see how the rebound this season. Will Cruz Azul repeat? Will Atlante regroup after winning Apertura part of the season but stumbled afterwards. See if they regroup during the Apertura 2008. Will Chivas make some noise this season. They do well during the regular season my can't seem to close the business during the playoffs. I was very happy to see Indios (moved to 1st division) when tonight. My new favorite Mexican Team. Let's see if they can make some noise. It will be very tough.
I am praying for Puntarenas FC to win it this season in Costa Rica. They really fell apart last year.
In Holland, who will win? Ajax, PSV or will someone else take the title this season.

Today's Euro 2008 Picks

Tuesday, 10 June 08, 09:30 AM

Spain againts Russia: Spain will win this match. Better ball club. Russia is on the rise but Spain is a much better team. Spain is ranked number 4 and Russia is ranked number 24.
Greece againts Sweden: Sweden is not as good as they have been in the previous years. Greece is in the top 10. A rising national team. Greece will win this match.
Other than Spain, I have not seen the other Teams. I have to go by history, ranking and what I have read.

follow up to my first blog

Thursday, 02 August 07, 09:25 PM

Yikes, I did forget to mention Barcelona as well. I really enjoy watching them over the years as well. I became a fan of Sevilla when I saw them on Gol TV playing againts Barcelona. Sevilla fans were really chanting through the whole game which was music to my ears. I am sure many other teams have some great energy as well. Here in the US, we get great exposure to Real Madrid, Becelona and sometimes Sevilla. but very little of the other teams except when Real Madrid, Barcelona or Sevilla plays againts them.

I have also become a great fan of Bundesliga as well. I enjoyed watching Schaulke 04 and Stuttgart this past season.

I can't wait until the upcoming season

Tuesday, 17 July 07, 10:11 PM

I can not wait until the La Liga, Bundesliga and various leagues in Latin America Begins.

I love the large clubs like Real Madrid, Sevilla to the small clubs like Puntarenas FC from Costa Rica. I mostly follow Puntarenas FC on line since we are unable to see Costa Rican Soccer. I enjoy the small clubs because it has a small hometown feel. Their fans are real and the players play for the love of the game.
