Big Games in the World of Soccer
Sunday, 19 October 08, 03:51 PM
Monterrey vs. Tigres: Monterrey was winning 1-0 next thing I know, Tigres score 4 fast goals. Monterrey fans must be upset losing so badly so quickly after having a lead most of the game.
Indios vs. America: well what has happen to CD America. On the bottom losing to a team that was promoted up this season. I had to mentioned this game.
Boca Jr. vs. River Plate: Super Clasico. Boca Juniors wins. One of my favorite teams I noticed I do not blog much of anything about them. I will have to change that.
I believe next weekend it is CD Chivas Guadalajara vs. CD America. The Burrito challenge. A friend of mine is a huge America fan and I am really a CD Chivas USA fan but the big game is against CD Chivas Guadalajara. If America wins, I buy him a breakfast burrito and if CD Chivas Guadalajara wins, he buys me a breakfast burrito. We are both skinny, we can afford it.

Barcelona loses to who?
Sunday, 31 August 08, 05:23 PM
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
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
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.

Sad opening in La Liga
Wednesday, 29 August 07, 07:15 PM
I was watching the match between Getafe vs. Sevilla FC. During the match, I saw a player go down without contact. After a few minutes as medical staff where attending, he walked off the field with assistance. I was very sadden to learn later he had suffered a heart attack and was at the time in critical condition. Yesterday I saw on the news, he had passed away. Very sad. My thoughts and prayers are for those who have been effected. He died doing something he loved, playing Futbol-Soccer. He is probably in heaven playing soccer with the angels.
Brighter note: Sevilla FC came on strong in the second half. Getafe ended up with two red cards which put them in a real disadvantage. Hopefully Sevilla will play for their team mate who had passed away. In Puerta's memory. He will be smiling from the heavens watching his team.
I hope Spain resolves the Television dispute so we can watch all the games that was scheduled over here. Two big games Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona vs. Athletic Bilbao was blacked out world wide. I was really looking forward to opening week in La Liga. I realized that La Liga is my favorite league. Please resolve the differences. We want La Liga.

Counting the days down until La Liga
Monday, 13 August 07, 09:13 PM
I am counting the days down until August 25 when La Liga begins. I think it will be a very intersting season with new players on Real Madrid, Barcelona added some more fire power and so on. With Real Madrid loosing some players (but added new players) new Manager, I think Barcelona at this point has the best chance of winning the 2007-08 La Liga Season. Sevilla FC and Valencia will be tough as well. Hopefully they will compete for the title as well.
It will be a very exciting season. I hope it goes right down to the wire again this season.

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.
