First Session Of The Week

Well, that’s the way football goes sometimes. The result was disappointing. However, we’ve been on the other side of those last minute stoppage time goals plenty. Luck was bound to go the other way at some point. But it still sucks.

Oh well. We still have a game in hand. Our next game is on Wednesday is vs. Deportivo and the team began to prepare for that today.

More Clasico Prep & It’s Atleti

Clasico prep continues with just two days until we face our eternal rival.

Easter Sunday Training

First off, Happy Easter! Also, Chag Sameach to those celebrating Passover.  And now may I take a quick minute to sing the praises of Isco? Isco, Isco, Isco!

It’s Bayern

Because the universe hates us and wants to rub Xabi Alonso in our face one more time, we have drawn Bayern as our next opponent in the Champions League. First leg is away on April 12 and the second is at home on April 18. Other matchups: Atletico Madrid-Leicester, Borussia Dortmund-Monaco and Juventus-Barcelona.

Ticket pre-sale begins March 16 at 10 AM ET.  Having been to the Clásico in Madrid with mygypsyspirit, I can tell you that it has a very special atmosphere and energy.

Best Of The Best

Well, I got home from work at 10 PM so that tells you what kind of day I just had. But you know who had a good day? These guys! (And a few more not in the picture). It was FIFA’s Best awards in Zurich.

Ready For El Clasico!

“No pressure or anything, Cris.”

Are we ever really ready for El Clasico? Like death and taxes, they come anyway. Perhaps I was in El Clasico avoidance mode but by the time I got home last night, it was close to midnight, I was tipsy and I conked out before I could post so here’s a quickie before I leave for the match.
