Congratulations to Sergio & Cris on the birth of their daughter India yesterday. I dare you to look at both of these sweet pictures (the second one is of the whole family) and not dissolve into “Awwwwwww!” immediately. They are such a delightful couple and I am so happy for them. Wishing the new little family all the best.

Back To Work & A Belated Birthday

You should have been in my living room on Saturday. Shigs, DK and me were cursing up a storm at the whistle. I’m sure some of you were doing the same. But whatcha gonna do? We just have to pick ourselves up and move on. Next match is Saturday vs. Real Sociedad.

A Rainy Training Session & Happy New Year!

The team had a rainy little training session today as you can see from Sergio’s baby chick hairdo.

And Now We Turn Our Attention To La Real

Okay, okay. So we’re knocked out of the Copa Del Rey. It’s not ideal, obviously, but now we need to concentrate on La Liga & the Champions League. First up, Real Sociedad.

The Daily Drool: Yuri Berchiche

Left back Yuri plays for Real Sociedad. He has represented Spain at the U17 level and the Basque Country at the senior level.

Match Recap: Real Sociedad 0 – 3 Real Madrid

It’s been a footie-filled summer. While I’ve enjoyed it, I’ve also really enjoyed the weeks I’ve had off from writing between Euros and the beginning of the La Liga season. We started our season on the road in San Sebastian against Real Sociedad (duh, it’s in the post title).
