No sé si veremos un buen espectáculo o un juego acorde al renombre de los protagonistas, pero sÃ
veremos el próximo sábado – Centenario de la Real Federación Española de Fútbol –
camisetas nuevas.
Separando los eventos, la empresa alemana presentó ahora la nueva camiseta de la selección
española de cara a Sudáfrica en un acto conjunto con el lanzamiento del documental "El Alma de la
Roja" (Santiago Zannou) donde acudió la familia española, Angel MarÃa Villar (presidente),
Vicente del Bosque (DT), Luis Aragonés, Alfredo Di Stéfano, Ramón Calderón y varios jugadores.

El Atlético de Madrid es uno de los temas que más me apasionan en el mundo del fútbol. Junto al
Valencia me parecen un paradigma de club sin rumbo, que va cambiando de capitán y de tripulación
sin tener una idea fija de hacia que mar quiere ir.
El Atlético es un gran club y su historia ahà queda.

El Pais adopts a philosophical tone.
"Nothing is eternal, so the United States defeat, even if unexpected, should not discount the
excellent record of a team begun by Luis Aragonés and continued under Vicente del Bosque's
guardianship. "
The Spanish newspaper of record also praised the USA.

La selección vive un clima de tranquilidad sospechoso, poco común. Eramos el Atleti de
los combinados nacionales y la Eurocopa nos encumbró por encima del resto. Cambiamos al Sabio
por Del Bosque y la racha continuó: líderes destacados de nuestro grupo clasificatorio
para ése ansiado Mundial de Sudáfrica dentro de un año.

Luis Aragonés va paso de conseguir meter a su equipo en la final de la Copa Turca. Ayer se
impuso al Sivvaspor por 3-1 y deja casi decidida la eliminatoria a falta de la vuelta. El
técnico del conjunto turco estaba en entredicho, pero sus últimos resultados en Liga y la
buena marcha en la [...]

"Digo más veces vete a tomar por culo que buenos días". Ésa ha sido la
frase del 2008 según todos los internautas que han votado en la curiosa propuesta de La
Gazzetta dello Sport, que premia todos los años a la mejor perla salida de boca de alguien
vinculada con el deporte. Luis Aragonés ha [.

presenting to you, a selection of 20 images giving tribute to Spain's Euro 2008 triumph in Sunday's
final. Enjoy. And once again, ¡Viva España!

Germany 0-1 Spain. The chokers are no more. In a hard-fought but dominated battle in Vienna, La
Selección wiped all of their historical fears and under-achieving inhibitions away: one swift
movement (as swift as Fernando Torres's run behind Philipp Lahm, and swifter than his finishing
touch over Jens Lehmann) to swipe the European Cup right from [.

Russia 0-3 Spain. Well Italy didn't go out for nothing at least. Yet. The ever-famous (or infamous,
I guess it depends where you stand) tournament-chokers really made a statement on Thursday night.
Getting three goals past your opponent in a Euro Semi-Finals cannot be ignored, even if that
opponent was modest Russia (who in spite of [.

Bring out the castanets and wake up the opera singers: on Sunday, Spain and Italy will step
onto Vienna's Ernst Happel stadium ready to dance, and it will surely be a
very hot-blooded affair. Two teams with common linguistical heritage but radically different
styles of play, the Azzurri and La Furia Roja have also arrived at Euro 2008's Quarter-Finals
following opposite [.

No Maniche for Portugal, and no Raúl for Spain. Earlier this week, La Furia Roja manager
Luis Aragonés released his final List of 23 who will be travelling to SwissAustria in June and
as expected, Real Madrid's captain was not selected. The feud between Aragonés and
Raúl has been going on for quite some time now, and not [.

(*Note that I tend to do 'previews' a bit different from everyone else (i.e. I just talk about
whatever I feel is relevant to the game in no order!) To start off, here are the 20 players picked
by Luis 'The Old Man' Aragonés himself. Arsenal: Cesc FC Barcelona: Puyol, Iniesta y Xavi Betis:
Juanito Espanyol: Luis GarcÃa y Riera Getafe: [.

The Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) put the kabosh on rumors that El Viejo Luis
Aragonés would be leaving the Spanish national side before Euro 2008. Angel Maria Villar,
president of RFEF who according to the FIFA website likes 'history, music and hiking' (WTF?) said
"The national team coach is determined to continue in his job [.

Warning...uncontrollable rant ahead. I had to take a break from my studying today to write a
unusual mid-day post for me. And note that this might will take a ranting form. But what the hell
is Luis Aragones doing with the Spanish national team??? I'm seriously getting sick of this. I
know some of you are asking, Why [...]

Arjen Robben took to the training ground today for the first time with his Real Madrid teammates.
Robben, who came over to Madrid for 36 Million Euro in the offseason, has had a knee injury that
has kept him out of the lineup thus far. Madrid had a 2.5 hour training session today [...]
