Ever since I started watching football many years ago now, when it came time for the World Cup, Spain were always considered a dangerous threat by many pundits that they would win the tournament, only to let everyone down time and time again. Spain are likely to have one of the best selling World Cup Jerseys in the tournament, but the best they have finished is 4th place in a World Cup and that was in 1950.

Luis Figo and fam hit the streets of Paris. Guess they like their outerwear puffy.
Everton's Joseph Yobo is engaged to the (former) "Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria". Pass judgment on her ring if you are in the mood. Congrats!
Sylvie van der Vaart has finished her chemo.

No recuerdo una derrota más humillante que esta, frente al Alcorcón. No pudo titularse mejor. Es increíble cómo perdieron la eliminatoria a doble partido cerrando en el Bernabéu. Hoy no apareció ese histórico espíritu que les hace ganar con la pura camiseta, como en otras ocasiones. Fue un equipo vulgar.

There might just be a Kickette brawl, folks. This morning our Spanish amigas from Poprosa alerted us to cougar-on-the-Migi-prowl Patricia Conde and her advances towards our coveted pillow lips. He's 23 – she's 30.

Rumour has it, after being introduced recently by Iker "the evil matchmaker" Casillas, they went shopping (sob) and to the movies.

Atletico have not won at the Bernabeu in 10 years. The last time October 30th, 1999 when Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink with his brace and Jose Mari won a now historic victory. Sergio Aguero was 11 years old.

Hasselbaink was virtually unstoppable and so was Joan Capdevila, now at Villareal.

Last week I posted what I believed to be Rafa Benitez's 10 biggest transfer blunders. This week, as promised, I take a look at the 10 best signings during the Boss's 5 years in charge. And there have been some absolute corkers!
When you think back to the squad Rafa inherited (Traore, Biscan, et al), it is clear that our squad is now superior in almost every way. Click to continue reading...

Despite the plethora of Champions League games available to me this week I flicked my sports channel over to the game in Milan to see whether the Milanistas could re-create their spectacular victory in the Bernabeu two weeks ago. And, despite their failure to upset the football betting odds and re-enact their Madrid heroics following 90 scrappy but passionate minutes, there were still signs that they have turned the corner.

Kaka made his glorious return to his old home for Tuesday's Champions League tie between Real Madrid and AC Milan a loser-free lovefest that ended in a 1-1 draw. The San Siro gave their returning hero a warm welcome as both sides had their chances to take three points in the wide open match.

NOTHING excites us more than meeting a fellow chica who plies her trade in the truly madcap world of the football media. So when Futbolita encountered Kay Murray, the fresh face of Real Madrid TV (which telecasts on Sky TV and Digital in Spain), it was a bit like talking to a long lost hermana.

The most successful club in the history of soccer just got ridiculed by a 3rd division team!!!Real Madrid lost 0-4 to Alcorcon in last night's Copa del Rey (King's Cup) match. It's safe to say this club is getting by because of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, who were both absent from yesterday's game. Ronaldo is still nursing an ankle injury while Kaka, Casillas, and Sergio Ramos were given some Click to continue reading...

Lo único que faltaba para el Real Madrid acaba de suceder hoy en la Copa del Rey de España, el club Alcorcón de la tercera división española goleó cuatro goles a cero al mismísimo equipo galáctico, así como lo leíste, un equipo de tercera división humilló a uno de los mejores clubs del mundo.

Too many errors from the goalies and a superb game play from AC Milan ensured that they dumped Real Madrid 3-2 in their Champions League encounter last night. Brazilian forward Pato who scored twice was the star for AC Milan as he proved too good for the Real keeper Iker Casillas. Playing at [...] Click to continue reading...

Como pata femenina de LPND, va una visión hormonal y nada futbolística sobre estos hombres que juegan con el esférico. Si si, a mi me gusta el fútbol, me gusta verlo, comentarlo, analizarlo, pero ahora voy a dejar eso de lado.
Tengo que decir, primero, que como mujer futbolera no estoy mirando realmente a los tipos si son lindos o no cuando veo fútbol. Click to continue reading...

France Football ha publicado la lista de nominados al Balón de Oro 2009, donde destacan seis futbolistas del Barcelona (Henry, Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Touré e Ibrahimovic), actual campeón de la Champions. El histórico triplete conseguido hace unos meses ha pesado bastante en los periodistas de la prestigiosa revista francesa, pues los jugadores del Barça representan una quinta parte de la lista.

I'm a literal sort of person, and it annoys me when things are so stupidly wrong, and yet people still fall for it blindly, and repeat it as though it is a fundamental truth. Like the idea that Liverpool are a two man team, which is a theory so widespread, it's become gospel.
For a start, how can any side be a two man team? Click to continue reading...

AAAAHHHHHHHH I AM ARTUR BORUC AND THIS IS A LIST OF THINGS THAT MADE ME ANGRY THIS WEEK:

Chazza is ELLE UK's cover for November. Check out the sexy shots here.

The PR team in charge of WAG reputations has been hard at work recently.
Diamonds/flowers/hand-crafted poems are so 2008. This is a true expression of love.
Surely now there's no reason England wouldn't be given the 2018 World Cup.

Okay, that's not really fair. She's not just "some chick". She's obviously "some chick that Iker Casillas is happy to be publically photographed holding hands with and kissing." Our twitchy jealous fingers are taking control of the keyboard.

Her name is Ana Isabel (which, by the by, is actually Kickette-short for Ana Isabel Medinabeitia Domínguez), she works as a marketing director for a bank and apparently she's been on the scene since the summer.

.Real Madrid felt the absence of Christiano Ronaldo, as they suffered a comprehensive 2-1 defeat at the hands of rivals Sevilla at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Sevilla lived up to the expectation of the players in Los Galácticos and completely outplayed the touring side. This loss not only took apart the 100 percent win record [.

Is this save of the season? So far it has to be, it came from the Sevilla V Real Madrid match last night, which Madrid, minus Ronaldo, lost 2-1.

Funny thing happened on the way to the battle of the unbeaten between Barcelona and Real Madrid next month. Someone forgot to tell Sevilla who beat Real 2-1 win at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan tonight.

Without the services of the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, Real seemed to lose its attacking swagger that has carried it so far this season, and instead the attention was focused on Madrid's poor defence.

It would seem that perhaps whatsherface Gallardo isn't quite so crazy/stalktastic as we may have thought.

We all know Cristiano's insane talent, dedication to removing his shirt after matches (whilst shunning the evil that are base layers) and extensive man bag collection make him pretty damn hard to resist.

Seven games tonight of Round 4 in the "Liga" with its usual mix ofaction, goals & last minute surprises. Here is a summary of tonights scores & results:REAL MADRID left Benzema & Raul on the bench to change its system to 4-3-3 ( or 4-2-3-1) & saw how defender Garay injuried himself inthe warm up. This lead to a "revolutionary change" in the defence with Casillas, Lass Diarra, Albiol, Ramos & Click to continue reading...

What sort of secrets does Fernando Torres confess in his new book? His favourite telly shows are The Dog Whisperer and Super Nanny.
Our prayers have been granted. Iker Casillas has shaved/trimmed his beard. And possibly his leg hair. Perhaps this is his way of celebrating a decade with Real Madrid.

Sir Alex looks for a long term goalkeeper solution.

Manchester United are keen on Lazio goalkeeper Fernando Muslera as a replacement for Edwin van der Sar.

According to Sportal.it, the Red Devils have laid eyes on the Uruguayan shot-stopper. Muslera joined the Biancocelesti in 2007, and after a poor start last term, the goalkeeper has improved, attracting plenty of interest in the process.

Spain were eliminated in the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup by USA in a shock 2-0 defeat in June, but the team have already put the episode behind them, according to their 'keeper Iker Casillas.

Since then, Spain have eased through Group 5 to qualify for the World Cup and the Real Madrid stopper has admitted that la Furia Roja will not get carried away when they return to South Africa.
