The game was a little boring and regular but at least it's a win, the best part was chillin' with
the NYC MADRIDISTAS as we welcomed a few new faces and smoked a few Honduran cigars at
halftime.
Real Madrid defeated Deportivo La Coruna 3-2 in typical workmanlike fashion. That MADRIDISTA
flowing futbol swagger is still not there, but let's give them time.
Sneijder and the DUTCH OVEN contingent at MADRID look more and more regular and pedestrian every
game.
sorry robben, you are no ROBINHO.
Is ARAGONES the only one on the planet who realizes that RAUL is no longer a productive force?
MADRID is paying a price that SPAIN refused to pay during their EURO CHAMPIONSHIP run last summer.

I don't have as much free blogging time as I used to so I just wanted to let everyone know that
although I may drop a new post from time to time it might not be on a regular basis or as
frequently as before.
It's one thing to lose, all teams go through rough periods, but for REAL MADRID to be not only
losing, but playing an uninspired, average, hardworking pedestrian style instead of the world class
flowing attractive attack minded soccer which is supposed to be its trademark is in no uncertain
terms .

I'm still kind of busy these days so I'll keep posting AP and REUTERS coverage of futbol until I
have time to cover the games myself. In overall Flowing Futbol commentary, I have noticed that the
supposed two best players in the world these days C.

MANCHESTER, England (AFP) - Robinho produced another captivating display to inspire Manchester City

This crushing win left his new club fifth in the Premier League table while Portsmouth dropped down
into 12th place.

My little bro was in town so I skipped the game and took him to the BRONX ZOO. Based on the
highlights I saw and commentary it looks like I missed another SNOOZEFEST. Winning like this is
good for the standings but bad for the soul of a team that is supposed to be about attractive
'futbol'. Anyways here's what GOAL.
I don't remember when was the last time I was in full agreement with MARCA, but yes, MADRID and
their 'pedestrian futbol' stunk it up again. Warning - Guti had an excellent game, now expect him
to disappear for the next 5 matches.
