Sad opening in La Liga

Thursday, 30 August 07, 01:15 AM

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.
