The Media wars that have been affecting Spanish League football this season intensified last night
over the broadcasting rights for the Real Madrid - Betis match. Two rival media companies:
Sogecable and Mediapro are currently in dispute over who has the right to show certain matches.
Sogecable maintains that that Mediapro must first accept a contract on joint football rights signed
by the two groups in 2006 and pay Sogecable a pending fine of around 70 million euros.
Mahamadou Diarra captained Mali to a 2-0 victory away to Togo on the weekend, ensuring the national
side's qualification for next year's African Cup of Nations in Ghana. The competition, which runs
from the 20th of January to the 10th of February will leave Real Madrid without their key defensive
midfielder for at least the whole of January, given that players have to be available to join their
national sides 15 days before the start of official competitions.
When Robinho and Baptista returned several hours late to Madrid following Brazil's 5-0 thumping of
Ecuador, they missed training and were excluded from the squad that lost the first league match of
the season to Espanyol. Following reports that Robinho particularly had been involved in some "wild
partying" on the night following the game, the club launched an enquiry and the two face some heavy
fines.
