Into the Last 16!

Woot woot for advancing to the next round! Our boys turned around, left that 0-0 draw in Xativa behind them, and put away two goals to secure the win.

THE MATCH: Real Madrid-Olímpic de Xàtiva Copa del Rey Preview

Someone Broke Gareth, Well Suited, The Circus Visits The Circus & More

So the mothership isn’t exactly saying  who did the damage but they released this statement “The player Gareth Bale was involved in a collision with a teammate during today’s training session and received a blow to his left calf. Progress is being monitored.” So both Gareth & Cristiano (he’s suspended) will be out of the match tomorrow. It sounds like it was minor, so let’s keep our fingers crossed.

That’s The Spirit, Olímpic de Xàtiva!

What an absolutely delightful thing to wake up to! Our opponents in tomorrow’s Copa Del Rey match, Segunda B side Olímpic de Xàtiva, made this adorable commercial for Vodafone. Smiling and dancing around singing “Don’t Worry Be Happy” they couldn’t be more charming. Considering that they held us to a 0-0 draw in the first leg, I’m sure they’re in a relatively decent mood. Let’s hope our “good” team shows up and it’s not our evil twin that seems to fall apart at the drop of a hat. But in the meantime, enjoy the cute boys being cute.  (H/T to 101 Great Goals)

A Quiet Day

Casanova chases down his next potential bromance.

It was a quiet day today as all eyes were trained on the Champions League battles. The next round’s draw will be on Monday.

Preparing For Copenhagen/RM & The World Cup

“ONE! Singular sensation, every little step he takes…”

The team got right back to work after yesterday’s 0-0 draw with Olimpic de Xativa. Good to see that Gareth has recovered from his flu like symptoms to practice with Cris for Real Madrid’s production of A Chorus Line Tuesday’s Champion’s League match against Copenhagen.

Last Training of The Week, Ancelotti Loves Xabi, Zizou Loves Cris, & Hello Spandex!

“You think that will make the Watishistas love you even more?”

Booty stretches? Check. Last training session complete? Check, Check. Hello weekend & hello Copa del Rey! The boys have prepared all week and tomorrow they’ll take on Olimpic de Xativa at the La Murta Stadium.

Training for CdR Action, Iker Ain’t About Bullying, & LFP Awards Leftovers

Jese!! That’s a no no sign! *Sigh* Obviously, we love these boys for what they do with their feet, not their hands…

Friday Training, Injuries, CDR Draw & More

I love the smiles on the faces of our petit croissant and bebe baguette, don’t you? Great shot of them. Training today was a good news/bad news sort of thing. Good news first. Pepe & Cristiano returned to training with the team. Sami took a knock but should be okay to play. Fabio is on the road to recovery.
