Internationals: Euro Qualifiers

Spain V Liechtenstein

1. Spain completely dominated with 73% posession.
2. Torres looks MUCH better with blonde hair.
3. Frustrating how pique was denied of his goal twice.
4. Enjoyed that the fact that the liechtenstein captain's name was Frick.
5. Torres plays exactly like he does on PES. impressive stuff.
6. Iker Casillas barely had anything to do.


England V Bulgaria - last 20 minutes of it at least

1. Defoe is basically amazing. Hat trick waaaay!
2. So glad that they're using Joe Hart. James is old and angry and Rob green will probably never show up in public again.
3. Impressed how the entire stadium belted out the National Anthem.
4. The midfield and defense is chaotic. All england has now is the fortune of having a good striker.
5. Just saw the most powerful header ever from bulgaria.
6. Bewildered by how capello is still around.

Bit Late Post: Season starts

So La Liga started last weekend.
Maybe it's a fluke, or maybe just bad luck, but real madrid drew with 2009-10 5th placed mallorca last weekend.
Perhaps it's the change of coach that brought on this dissapointing start to the season. On top of that C. Ronaldo has picked up an injury that sees him unable to play the next portugal qualifying campagne fixtures for the euro qualifiers.
On the same page is Carles Puyol who has just been annouced to be suffering from a calf muscle injury. He too will be out for a few weeks, and what really confuses me is that I had heard after the world cup that he would be retiring from international duty, when here it says he had been injured during a spain training session. Anyway, it seems Barcelona will have to do without him. In truth he seems to be loosing out on a bit of game time even before hand.
Barcelona's start to the season however, was very sucessful as predicted. In fact, the betting odds of a draw for the game was even higher than a loss for barcelona. David Villa scores his first goal in La Liga for Barcelona, but personally i thought andreas iniesta's goal was by far the most impressive, although messi scoring within 3 minutes into the game is somewhat rediculous.
This was also the first game since ibrahimovic's exit.
Speaking of which Ibrah has been going around with claims that Pep Guardiola had "shattered" his dream of barcelona, and that the head coach was the reason he left. He claims that Guardiola had a problem with him and would not talk about it. Whether it's true i don't know, it could all be bullshit, it just all seems a bit dodgy and strange. The club is looking into it.
Following Ibrahimovic's exit, Bojan fills the No. 9 shirt. I would say at the age of 20 he's really accomplished a lot. congrats to bojan.

First post: Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

So apparently now he's leaving to AC Milan.
Thoughts? It's good. Barcelona never really needed him.
The club have already got an established attack... Messi, Bojan.
and now that they have David Villa it really is a more than obvious hint to the big swede that his time is up at the Catalan Giants.
While AC Milan will greatly benefit from this addition to their attack.
They haven't really been doing all that well lately anyway, and Zlatan was always very impressive in italy.
And then there's Javier Mascherano joining barcelona.
I'm having some trouble in believing that he'll really shine and do the club proud, as after all, he does have a reputation of being a douche at anfield.
But I hope i'm wrong. I hope that his move to Barcelona will help the continue to destroy real madrid and its 15 million mid fielders, now that mesut ozil has been transfered there.
And in completely irrelevant news, Bojan Krkic is now 20. happy belated birthday bojan.
