Cualquiera que mire los datos de este mercadillo de invierno debe rendirse a la evidencia: para nosotros, sucios PIGS cubiertos de deuda hasta las cejas, parece que se han acabado los tiempos del derroche futbolero, al menos si no tienes unos amiguitos bien situados en el Golfo Pérsico.

Why Roma's beautiful losers are losing it with boss Enrique

SPANISH FOOTBALL action tonight with the last game scheduled of Round 2 of the Spanish League with FC BARCELONA defeating 5 - 0 VILLAREAL FC . Barça started with the "romantic" & past famous 3 – 4 – 3 "Dream Team" system by Cruyff & with the following 11: Valdés; Keita, Mascherano, Busquets, Abidal; Thiago, Iniesta, Cesc; Alexis, Pedro & Messi.

Mal tercio.

To the casual outsider, La Liga exists as a fierce and epic battle between two clubs: Real Madrid and Barcelona. As if El Classico weren't enough to keep people's attention, last year's race between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi to the top of the scoring list was spectacular.

In the absence of live football during the close-season, the avid football fan is kept entertained by the bi-annual transfer merry-go-round where rumours of unlikely moves and bargain buys are rife as each team looks to build on the past season.

This summer has been no exception and certainly hasn't disappointed.

Edwin van der Sar's testimonial evening at the Amsterdam Arena last night was a three-pronged affair, with the festivities opening with a match between Ajax U13s and Manchester United U13s, with Poppa van der Sar's son Joe turning out for United.

Secondly, an Ajax '95 side took on Holland '98 with Marc Overmars scoring the only goal of the game for the Amsterdammers, and a bit of a beaut it was too.

In Edwin Van der Sar's testimonial last night his Dream Team beat Ajax 2-1, with Louis Saha and Dennis Bergkamp scoring.

Dream Team: Edwin Van Der Sar, Giovanni Van Bronckhorst, Gary Neville, Andre Ooijer, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Phillip Cocu, Michael Carrick, Ryan Giggs, Rafael Van Der Vaart, Boudewij Zenden, Dirk Kuyt, Dennis Bergkamp, Alessandro Del Piero, Wayne Rooney, Louis Saha.

The Spanish League's calendar has been out and we will be travelling to Malaga in the opening fixture of our title defense on the 21st of August. We will be aiming to win our fourth successive La Liga title and equal the record of the Cryuff's Dream Team. The first Clasico match which is going to be held at Camp Nou is scheduled on the 11th of December.

I know I am no Arsenal fan, and actually like any true fan of bitter rival club, I do derive immense joy from watching the gunners suffer, especially that horror fortnight they had in Feb/March, to quote the effervescent Barney Stinson,

‘It was Legen.......wait for it........ dary!!

"Mi hermano Gerard será mejor que yo". La predicción es de Sergi López, quizá el juguete roto de la Masía por excelencia. Sergi era la gran promesa del Barça de los ochenta, Puyol antes de Puyol. En Can Barça desde los trece años, su carrera crecía en aquel equipo pre Dream Team hasta que todo saltó por los aires un día de lluvia, cuando fue a entrenarse a un pabellón de baloncesto y se destrozó la rodilla.

Arsenal.com are currently running an all time dream team vote. The problem with this it is often only the young who vote and recent memory can skew the result.

We have a wide church here with regard to ages so how about we all pick our all time eleven, manager, coach, physio and you can even throw in a few squad players.

There are a lot of things I love about The Beautiful Game. One thing in particular I find great is how short the off-season is. Soccer goes on for ten months which is so gratifying considering, in contrast, the extended breaks of all American sports. However, two months is still plenty of time and nothing takes it up quite like the transfer market.

I'm not a big fan of forced narratives in sport. Often they require material facts to be ignored and result in faulty conclusions. This is possibly an oddity for a Cule - after all, Barcelona have built their identity on a strong sense of narrative, casting themselves in the same role in every story.

Hace apenas 20 años el Fútbol Club Barcelona no tenía ni una solo ‘Orejona'. Siempre fue un club muy importante, más por su masa social y lo que significa para una región que por títulos en la máxima competición continental. Ahora, dos décadas después, el Barça tiene 4 Champions y lo que te ‘rondaré morena'.

Barcelona are synonymous with everything good. As they went to collect their winners' medal, there was a shot of United's players clapping as if they were resigned to defeat, as if this were an event of inevitability. Perhaps, it was. Indeed, they were outclassed as many observers had predicted by a team that are not destined for greatness, for they are already there.

Whichever way the 2011 UEFA Champions League final goes, both of these teams will be remembered as dynasties.

Manchester United are playing their third Champions League final in four years, an astonishing testament to consistency and excellence in a competition more often ruled by luck and fate.

"Están todos locos", bramó Johan Cruyff. El entrenador holandés se acababa de enterar de que José Luis Núñez, había renovado el contrato de Iván De la Peña por ocho temporadas sin que ni siquiera hubiese debutado en primera división.
El fichaje de De la Peña por el Barça se hizo como se hacían las cosas en 1990: un sobre lacrado, un informe hecho a máquina, un ojeador que ve un partido, una visita a los padres del chaval, probablemente en Los Peñucas, el restaurante de la familia en el barrio pesquero de Santander.

The city of Catalunya was in festive mood on Friday as Barcelona had an open-top bus parade commemorating their 21st La Liga crown.

The best team ever?

FC Barcelona won their 21st League title with a 1-1 draw at Levante with a bit of tricky performance. This was not one of the usual flowing performance by the Barca side, but it was good enough to complete a rare hat-trick of League title. The last team which did that was the dream team of Barcelona back in the 90s.

What does race have to do with it? Nothing. The French national teams have seen Polish immigrants in the great 1958 team, Italian and Spanish in the dream team of the 1980s and the black-blanc-beur world champion team of 1998. The debate is only about how to put back the technical aspects in front of the physical ones, point la ligne.

Schalke 04 vice-captain Benedikt Höwedes has confessed that when he plays on the PlayStation with his team mates, it's usually the person who has Manchester United that wins.

"United are a dream team," he said. "I will really enjoy playing them, but I don't think we have to hide.

Como jugador eligió el dorsal número cuatro, pero por las estadísticas le hubiera venido como anillo al dedo el cinco. Estos son los Clásicos que lleva dirigiendo a su Barça desde el banquillo y en todos ellos ha conseguido la victoria. En el último lo hizo por cinco a cero, pero no fue el único.

With the resignation of the club's board and supervisory board on Wednesday evening, club icon Johan Cruyff came one step closer to restructuring his beloved Ajax. The Amsterdam-born Cruyff is without doubt the Godenzonen's most illustrious player ever, yet the 63-year-old has had precious little to do with Ajax since leaving the position of head coach in 1988.

Los logros del F.C. Barcelona ya los conocemos, gran parte del mérito se le atribuye a Pep Guardiola, y en parte es así, pero en Retrofootball no queremos olvidar los origenes y en el Barcelona actual hay varios factores más que han influido en los títulos y el brillo que tiene el equipo a día de hoy.

On the eve of THE rematch, I wanted to share my experience of living in the beautiful city of Barcelona. I moved there (permanently in my mind) 3 days after 9/11. I fell in love with the City, Las Ramblas, the fantastic area of Gracia where we lived, and the relaxed and welcoming Spanish/ Catalan lifestyle.

While one Brazilian icon exits the soccer stage, a future one took another step toward entering the limelight after a stellar showing in the CONMEBOL Under-20 championships in Peru.

Neymar scored two goals in the finale on Saturday -- a 6-0 thrashing of Uruguay -- to capture the tournament's golden boot with nine goals, outlasting his closest competition by five scores.

Lo que todo aficionado al futbol mundial estaba esperando un clasico español mas, pero en esta ocasion en una final de Copa del Rey.
El equipo del Barcelona tendrá la trigésima quinta final en su historia por su parte el Real Madrid no es campeón de este torneo desde la temporada 1992-1993 ya llovió desde entonces.

This should have been posted last Friday but got lost in the shuffle. What do you think is going on in Greasano's head as he looks to his left and sees six little cules pose for the Ballon d'Or dream team of 2010? On the last La Liga Weekly podcast, A New Year And Copa del Rey Beginning there was some discussion on David Villa not being part of the Barca wolf pack as he was officially.
