Thursday Recovery Session, Awards And A Birthday

A scoreline of 3-0 in our favor? Yes, please! That was pleasant to see yesterday. Let’s keep going with that, gentlemen.

Belated Congrats: Three In A Row!

I’m recovering from surgery (again) so I’m quite a bit behind on my posting. Los Blancos won their third consecutive Club World Cup title a few days ago.

It’s A Lukita Sweep!

Congratulations to Lukita! He won the Ballon D’Or (today), FIFA Best, Award and UEFA Player of the Year this year! He also ended the 10 year domination of Cristiano and Messi winning the Ballon D’Or. Cris came in 2nd in the voting and Messi 5th. I have to say, it’s refreshing for someone else to get a look in. And that’s not to say that they didn’t deserve their wins – they did. But there are so many tremendous players out there. It’s just nice to see them being appreciated.

Prepping For El Clasico & Boss Babies

I’ve been focusing on letter writing to get out the vote for the midterm elections so that’s definitely cut down on my Real Madrid time. I did get to watch the Champions League match (while still writing) but it’s been hit or miss otherwise for the past few weeks.  But El Clasico is upon us and I’ve just posted my final bunch of letters so I’m taking a break from freaking out about the fuckery in my country to focus on freaking out about El Clasico. Ugh.

Catching Up With Los Blancos

Gotta admit, with all the shit going down with the Kavanaugh confirmation clusterfuck, I have not had the will to write about football. JFC, what a mess my country is right now. Americans, please remember to get out there and vote next month. We need you now more than ever.

One of the fun things to do every year is see what outrageous fashion appears at The Best awards. I mean, Dani Alves is always worth a look – remember when he went apeshit with a bedazzler? And Messi never disappoints in his sartorial faux pas. Ah, but our Sese in a class by himself as is his missus. The happy couple hit the plane attired in their signature idiosyncractic style. Special shoutout to Pilar’s tangerine studded leather jacket because that is truly something and Sergio is just bein’ Sergio. Note the Frankenshirt. I swear to fuck, this man cannot purchase something that hasn’t been pieced together from seven different other garments. I bet his fave Dolly Parton song is “Coat of Many Colors” Anyhow, at first glance, it’s Frankenlicious, but tame for Sergio. But you really need to see the full thing…

Ready For Leganés, Players On The Move & More

Mariano took part in the final training before meeting Leganés tomorrow. He’s been given the number 7, so no pressure there or anything. Lord.
