http://www.football-scores-live.com/Widget_fla.swf Team of the Week: Athletic Bilbao beats no-manches Hugo Sanchez’s Almeria squad with a bombs away series of set pieces. Los leones are inching up to European slots and they’re already stretched thin because they qualified for Europe through the Copa del Rey. Who says the Cup is unimportant in Spain? Galactico and Goats: Roberto Soldado of Getafe. Score a hat-trick, even against lowly Xerez, and you deserve plaudits from anyone. Don’t they wish they had Soldado at Madrid [...]

Why take Cristiano Ronaldo Off? You are in a 0-0 draw coming off a halftime whistle in which you have, if not dominated, then certainly played better than you opponent. You may not have secured possession more than your opponent, but you have been more dangerous in attack, creating almost twice as many chances and shots on goal than they have. It has become a chippy affair, the stakes high and the buildup from the National Sports dailies immense, and [...]

Marca Cheats: They lasered CR9 and Pepe. Undesirables in the Camp Nou, furious spectators, camouflaged in the tiers, savoured the Clasico by lasering Real Madrid players.FCB 1-0 Real Madrid CF. Taste of Victory. The whites leave the Camp Nou reinforced by the knowledge of their good showing. Madrid enjoyed the most occasions at goal and deserved much more as a reward. Valdes miraculously saved one shot from Cristiano that could have changed the match. Ref, Undiano did not see a [...]

Look at the scoreline and you’ll see all the evidence you’ll need. Barcelona were one goal better than Real Madrid. Real Madrid were 3 points worse than their rivals. That’s what most people will see. The cules will strut and the merengues will stoop and they’ll think winning was the only important bit of data that mattered in this contest, and they’d be right I’d tend to think, but there are some as important as that. Criticisms:Marcelo is the week [...]

More than any time I remember, the build-up to this year’s early clasico at the Nou Camp is extra-crunchy, filled with more than the typical amount of morbo, that equal amounts anger, rage and perverse fascination that drives most truly great rivalries. On the Barce side: Txiki says, “We are the world’s reference point”, as if no one should tie on a Real Madrid tie. On the other side, Cristiano Ronaldo says not one Barca player would start in Madrid. [...]

   Marca.com In The Divan of Olga Viza, Michael Laudrup says: Barca aren’t as much the favorites as they were two weeks ago. Benzema: Exclusive Interview: “It will the game of my life. I am not afraid of Barca nor of the Camp Nou. I would prefer if Messi didn’t play, it would be great. Little by little, the spectacle will come. I do not think of losing.” Versus: Zapatero 2-0: If Barca wins I will celebrate it by calling [...]

Two 1-0 wins.Both by Higuain.Both in the first half.Both concluding a period of utter Real Madrid domination and control of the game.Both leading to a game that eventually bored the living hell out of the Bernabeu..More ammunition for Marca and AS to call for Pellegrini’s head.More worries for the team as it faces this Barca team that had managed to slap themselves awake once again (if we were to judge them on their performance against Mourinho’s Inter) just in time [...]

It’s no surprise that the ex-Boca Juniors prospect, sold to Real Madrid by the xeneises because they had Internet celebrity Ever Banega waiting in the wings, is ready to quit the Madrid club. Besides his worthlessness on the pitch, his role has been superseded by Xabi Alonso and Lass to some extent and his minutes are down. One of his agents, Zoran Vekic (a rather interesting subject himself if the google entries are true) has stated that his client, the [...]
