!!!

By: Corey | Comments 1 Comment

We did it! We are through to the final as I for one am so happy. I was jumping around like a mad man when Guiza scored, it was as he described “a beautiful moment”. Spain severly outplayed Russi the whole game, and kept the shackles on Pav and Arshavin, further proving that one, Senna [...]

A Sad Day For Corey

By: Corey | Comments 7 Comments

And while I have been advocating it and had expected for awhile, today was finally the day that Javier Balboa left for Benfica. Realizing he barely ever played this past season (when he did play he either scored or had an assist, talk about effective) after over 20 games the previous year with Santander, and [...]

08/09 Kits

By: Corey | Comments 8 Comments

These are late, because I completely forgot about the kits for next season. I had posted a video awhile back with pictures of the new kits, but here is some official stuff for everyone to drool at.

So Gonzo and Mamadou made it into the picture, impressive. They look so noble and righteous in this [...]

Phil Ball Is A God Amongst Men

By: Corey | Comments 2 Comments

I was as ecstatic as any other La Furia fan on Sunday when we out played, out classed and beat the Italians in a less then aesthetically pleasing but still interesting game. As it was our first progression into the semifinals in some years, it seems that all the celebration is about ending the self [...]

Looking Ahead to Next Year

By: Corey | Comments 6 Comments

This will be a discussion about where our players fit into our formation that was used last year and how tactically Schuster could use the massive squad he has at his disposal. So lets begin with a breakdown from the back.
GK:
Casillas
Dudek
Codina
Adan
Casillas will be the starter again, not that its a problem. Dudek has not left [...]

The Double Standard of English Football

By: Corey | Comments 19 Comments

For awhile now we have been hearing about how Real Madrid is using all avenues possible, whether legitimate or not, to lure Cristiano Ronaldo form Manchester United. And we have also heard of the backlash from the Manchester United camp of Real being less the honorable business men. But the truth is Real has made [...]

De la Red to Get a Game

By: Corey | Comments 3 Comments

I know I said I didnt want to cover the EURO, but I am bored at work. So it seems that with Spain already having qualified for the quarterfinals, that Aragones will play the reserves against an absymal Greece team on Wednesday. And this means we will get to see Ruben De la Red playing [...]

A programming note…

By: Steve | Comments 3 Comments

Hala Madrid! What up, Madridistas? Many apologies for not having a post for the first round of games of the group stage for Euro 2008, but I’m too busy to do 3 posts for the group stage and then each of the knockout rounds, so i’m going to wait until the end of [...]

Season Review

By: Corey | Comments 13 Comments

I am pretty sick of the Cristiano Ronaldo saga, and the EURO’s never provide us with any entertainment except when they actually play games. So I figured today would be a good day to put up the season review which I was putting off for awhile. How I will format this is I will select [...]

Be Still My Heart 1.0 - Karim Benzema

By: Steve | Comments 14 Comments

Hala Madrid! What up Madridistas and visitors? Y’all enjoying Euro 2008 so far? I’m gonna do a writeup of the first few matches after the end of Group Stage 1, and especially of the Madrid talent on display - were Pepe and Sneijder the dog’s bollocks or what? Sneijder’s goal was [...]
