Hi. Managed to find the very lastest FC BARCELONA TEAM PHOTO for season 2010-2011. The below picture is the "Gala starting 11" with Abibal, Pedro, Busquests, Pique, Valdes, Messi, Alves, Iniesta, Villa, Xavi & Puyol. Hope this satisfies the many requests from the Barça fans around the World. For your info there are Team shots up on Spanish Football Sports Blog posted back weeks & months back.

Here is the FC BARCELONA starting 11 line-up that faced REAL MADRID tonight in "El Clasico" & won 5 - 0. I suspect that many Barça fans who read Spanish Football Sports would appreciate the team photo for their records. Tonight´s victory marks the 5th straight victory over Real Madrid.

So y'all know how I feel about Ben Olsen. As a MetroBulls supporter it is hard to feel anything but scorn for a man who killed us on so many occasions. But as a supporter I do respect what a player like him means to the fans. Anytime you have a guy that quite literally gives the oh-so-trite & chliche 110% every time he steps on to the field you have to worship him with out-sized tifo shrines like the one pictured above and refer to him as a "legend" as often as possible.

D. C. United aren't messing about, Kickettes. Our declaration that the New York Redbulls were the hottest team in the MLS obviously went down like a lead balloon filled with unattractive, poor people.

Santino Quaranta is not taking this lying down. (Well, if he is taking it lying down, he's doing situps at the same time.

Here is the VIDEO of the CRISTIANO RONALDO direct free-kick goal that put REAL MADRID two goals ahead against ZARAGOZA last night. Spanish press has estimated the speed of the ball, a rapid 105 Km/ Hr. No wonder Zaragoza keeper Franco did not move, few would have & for what purpose.

How bizzare is it to hear Mike Tirico's voice talking soccer? I just keep expecting him to mention Drew Brees' lack of pass protection or how LeBron is unstoppable once he reaches the paint. And I bet by Friday they have the floor painted like a 18-yard box so that he and Shannon Sharp can better illustrate the proper crossing technique.

Continuing our series of questioning the fash-choices of the rich, good-looking and fabulous because we've nothing better to do: here's the sexy-as Zambro and wifey demonstrating what happens when held at gunpoint. Or, when heading for an audition as extras in the new film, When Blind Cowboys Go Shopping In The Dark, Now With Extra Ruffles & Reptilians!

I always sort of thought that Brek Shea's hair kind of signaled that he had this rebellious streak in him that belied his College Station, TX roots (if you don't know, College Station is the home Texas A&M University and is very, um, non-progressive). Typically dude rocks some fried, dyed and laid to the side looks worthy of inclusion in a Sigue Sigue Sputnik album cover.

I realize that with a headline like that you might expect some overwrought 2,000-word treatise relating to sportscasting, recessive genes, people who shop exclusively at Whole Foods, soft-talking and how they all intertwine in some soccer-specific manner. But then again if you read this blog with any regularity you realize that this isn't really the place for grand exposition.

Yesterday at the day job, I said that with both His Ginger Majesty and Chad Ochocinco on Soccer Talk Live last night at least one of them would say something quote-worthy.

Everytime I check the blog stats, I see that the search for ( & download ) the REAL MADRID PHOTO is amongst the most popular. I am amazed at the amount of visits that are received from around the World in search of the latest image of the Spanish Soccer Team. To keep the hungry fans happy, I have found this very latest picture of the REAL MADRID TEAM PHOTO season 2010 - 2011.

The 24 year old PSV EINDHOVEN attacking midfielder IBRAHIM AFELLAY is sounding more & more as a possible "2011 Winter Transfer Market" operation with direction Spain. Earlier the player was sounding as a possible Atletico de Madrid signing, but Spanish giant FC BARCELONA has entered the picture in a very serious manner.

Thierry Henry wasn't on the field for the Red Bulls this weekend but he was court-side for the Nets. Dude eschewed his now-usual place at the Garden to play the role of NBA fan-boy for an evening in Newark, where Lebron & them did work last night at the Prudential Center (Ronny Truiaf, you have been betrayed).

So you just spent 90€ on the latest SPAIN FOOTBALL TEAM shirt with the little star? Guess what, there is now a NEW version of the uniform that the SPANISH NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM will debut with against Portugal next Wednesday. Today Spanish Football Players did a Press Conference to show media the new uniform with a new design, "World Champions" badge & neck stitching.

What more is there to say other than we were pants? Rooney; rubbish, but also undroppable. Gerrard; wasted on the left. Lampard; ? Terry & Upson; I am actually faster than either of them.
Need I go on?
Oh and before I go, forget the non-Lampard-goal. England made Germany look like worldbeaters.

The Kickette office has been on red alert since one of our eagle-eyed staffers/readers spotted this little imperfection on the otherwise immaculately tanned Cristiano Ronaldo.

Now at first glance, we thought it might be a particularly badly placed, poorly executed tattoo; a concept we fully embrace being the aficionados of the stoopid, drunk, regretted tatt-filled bunch that we are.

Y'all want the real reason* TiTi isn't traveling to LA for the Beatdown in Tinseltown? Frenchies gotta move. It seems dude has just splashed out on a $9m apartment in Soho so obviously this Saturday will be spent in a college sweatshirt & a baseball cap moving boxes up & down the stairs with the help of his bros.

Folks let's start out with Miami FC. As some of you might know Miami FC will become the Strikers in 2011!
More on that HERE.
But, to commemorate the Blue's record breaking "Tie" streak (7 ties in 10 games) fans have decided to wear ties to the next game this Saturday June 12, 2010 at 7:30 PM versus the Portland Timbers.

It was a Soccer Marathon for South Florida Soccer fans. A few of the Ultras / Sam's Army Miami Brigade started off their day as early as 8 am at Fritz & Franz in Coral Gables. South Korea beat Greece 2-0, Argentina beat Nigeria 1-0 and the main event had USA take on England. Expectations were high to see what the USA could do.

I'm a a huge fan of English Premier League, and as such I have tons of football fangear around the house. Because you just can't watch that all important saturday-match without the jersey of your favourite team or maybe even the whole kit. New premier league kits have just been announced as the season is about to start and of course I have to get the new one, as the old one goes to the collection.

In these times of perpetual ass-clown behaviour (by England footballers in particular), we would like to take a moment to honour a pairing that to date, have managed to neatly side step a skank-related scandal in the Sunday tabloids.

Above you will see Nicola Carragher supporting hubby Jamie at his testimonial game against boyhood club Everton, held at Anfield last Saturday.

Who loves fan-fiction? Twilight-ers and D&D geeks, that's who. I don't know if there is much in the way of soccer fan-fiction out there but why not take the time to create some now if no one's doing it already? And don't give me any "SF, that's not cool" BS; I read MLS blogs, I'm not too cool for anything but MISL.

The "shock-wave tremors" continue 12 horas after yesterdays "earthquake" in Barcelona (Camp Nou) after FC BARCELONA won 5 – 0 REAL MADRID in the "Clasico",the first of season 2010 – 2011. The game was tense, very hard played & with emotions strong with two clear incidents that stand out from the game.

Here is the very latest SPANISH NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM photo. Found it surfing the Web & thought many of the readers may wish to add it to their collection of images. Spain National Team 2010 L to R Top: Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Busquets, Pique, Capdevila & Xavi Alonso L to R Bottom: Silva, Iniesta, Villa, Xavi Hernandez & Puyol

Wow, we're there!

36 years after "1974"!

32 years after "1978"!

Kees Kist, Jan Peters, Ruud Gullit, Rob de Wit, Marco van Basten, Dennis Bergkamp, Jan Wouters, Ronald Koeman, Frank Rijkaard, Marc Overmars, Frank & Ronald, Edgar, Clarence, Jaap, Edwin...so many great great players never got to play it.

Verrückt, was die Nachwuchsstars des frischgebackenen Weltmeisters Spanien so alles drauf haben. Nicht nur, dass sie die Italiener in Grund und Boden spielen, nein sie wissen auch noch wie man bei einem Elfmeter eine kleine Demütigung mit einbaut. Schaut es euch selber mal an, was bei der U19-EM vorgefallen ist.

It's rare that staff at Kickette HQ agree on anything, dear readers: mimosas or martinis, Balenciaga or Alexander Wang, whether the Fernando Torres freckle we bought on eBay is authentic or not.

But there's one thing we are unanimously decided on: Pepe Reina is a sexy beast. He's cruisin' for a spot on the F5 in the future, we can tell you that much.

We totes should have gone into product marketing.

It's not as if the concept of taking a half naked footballer, a round bed decorated with tassles from the Birdcage Haberdashery & Other Traveling Circus Ornaments Discount Supply Store, and throwing in mood lighting inspired by a dodgy massage parlour in Earls Court is original.

Nani and Daniela Martins out for dinner at San Carlos in Manchester last night.

It's one of those Fridays. You know the ones: the hangover has a hangover? As such, we're predicting the quality of "news" today is likely to range from just above monkeys with typewriters to just below toddlers with scribble pads.

As promised, managed to find a better REAL MADRID TEAM PHOTO for season 2010-2011. This is the starting line-up against Peñerol yesterday & could be the starting line-up for the start of the SPANISH FOOTBALL season - LA LIGA. Top (L to R): Casillas, Ramos, Khedira, Alonso, Carvalho, RonaldoBottom (L to R): Marcelo, Canales, Higuain, Lass Diarra, Ozil.

The ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC situation with FC BARCELONA & negotiations with AC MILAN continue with new developments according the Barcelona based Sports papers. Apparently all sides have returned to the original formula of a LOAN, but with a twist.The idea now is that Barça LOAN Ibrahimovic to AC Milan this year with an obligatory clause that forces Milan to buy the player at the end of the season.

Here is the VIDEO that shows some smart free-kick strategy that won a vital game for the SPANISH U 21 NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM against Poland. Midfielder Thiago finds Sergio Canales who puts in the goal & the winner. Final score 0 -1Poland u21 - Spain u21 0-1If you are not able to watch the video it maybe because you have Chrome Navegator

Der 167. der Weltrangliste hat es nicht einfach. Das Land selber gerät immer wieder in Turbulenzen zwischen Regierungstreuen Bürgern und Oppositionellen. Aufstände, Terror, politische Unruhen und häufige Regierungswechsel sind die Folge und natürlich leidet auch die Bevölkerung dadurch. Ohne stabile Verhältnisse geht es halt einfach nicht und solange das Volk andere Probleme hat als so [.

Kickettes, which popular EPL husband & wife were seen removing precious cargo from their chauffeured Mercedes in London late last week?

If your eyes haven't already laser-zoomed on the wife's shoes, then there's your hint.

Why it's Liverpool's Joe Cole, with daughter Ruby in tow, checking into the Mayfair Hotel!

"My teeth are bright and my hair is clean
I wear Paco Rabanne like I was Charlie Sheen."
If you haven't copped Mark Ronson & The Business International's Record Collection yet you simply must. Stylish, genre-breaking, international indie-pop at its finest...a record that makes me feel far more fashionable & worldly than I have in years.

Chelsea have announced on their official website that they will play against a Thailand XI on July 24th 2011 @ Rajamangala Stadium, Bangkok (pictured below). The match is part of Chelsea's Asia tour that will also see them play fixtures in Malaysia & Hong Kong during their preparations for the 2011/12 EPL season.

FC BARCELONA TV filmed the FC BARCELONA TEAM official photo session for season 2010 -2011. I thought that the Barça fans from around the World that read Spanish Football Sports Blog may appreciate a look & know that this video is available. Enjoy!

This is how the Rapids celebrated their MLS Cup win: a pub crawl, a party bus and more questionable costumes than the sale rack at your local sex shop. If you haven't seen the awesome/hilarious/disturbing shots of Pablo Mastroneni as a pimp-cum-mobster and a shirtless Marvelous Marvel Wynne rocking a cowboy hat, duster and a tie go here.

Back posting after a brief Christmas Break were I hope that you have had some wonderful days of relax, family warmth & lots of presents. The Spanish Football scene is relatively quiet as the Spanish League is enjoying their Xmas Break with news being generated by the rumours of new incorporations as of January 2011 Affeley presented as new Barça player The winter "Transfer Market" kicks in

Eigentlich dachte ich, ich hätte hier schon genügend Spielpläne für die Weltmeisterschaft 2010 in Südafrika gezeigt und angepriesen. Bis ich jetzt zufällig noch noch auf einen superpraktischen Pocket-WM-Planer gestoßen bin. Ein super Ding und wie der Titel es auf dem Foto schon treffend sagt, ist der „Superpraktische und ultraportable WM 2010 Spielplan zum Ausdrucken und [.
