The disciplinary committee of the Spanish FA (RFEF) totally capitulated when it had a chance to
make a statement about the increasing acrimonious feelings between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
At the start of the season Real Madrid and Barcelona met in the Supercup, which is played
between the winners of the Spanish League title and the Champions of the Copa del Rey.
Barcelona will begin defence of their La Liga title at Malaga when on the weekend of Aug. 20/21,
the Spanish federation (RFEF) said on Wednesday.
Real Madrid will kick-off start the season at home as they will play Athletic Bilbao. Valencia,
who finished third last season, will travel to Osasuna.

Almost every country treats the release of the fixture list like a national holiday, crafting
the rumors, conspiracy theories, and potential outcomes months in advance just to spark interest.
Luckily for Spain, the press need not conjure up such ridiculous and outlandish stories since the
boneheads who run the RFEF do all the work for them.

Erase una vez, en un reino muy muy lejano, una selección nacional de fútbol que no le importaba a
nadie. Era este un equipo modesto en el panorama futbolístico internacional, de esos que están
para rellenar las fases de clasificación, una escuadra que parecía incapaz de competir con sus
todopoderosos vecinos continentales y que jamás acudía a las grandes citas balompédicas.
La Rojita has done it! Goals by Ander Herrera (not a handball this time) and Thiago Alcántara
sealed a win over a solid, but unimaginative Switzerland who spent as much time fouling Javi
Martínez as they did trying to score past De Gea.

The atmosphere at the Bernabeu Last Night was FantasticLast night was Game 1 of the ‘World
Series' of Football... Real Madrid vs. Barcelona. It ended 1-1 on penalties scored both by Messi
and Ronaldo. Both broke their respective jinxes: Messi finally able to score against a Jose
Mourinho-coached team and Ronaldo finally able to score against Barca.

A Real Federação Espanhola de Futebol (RFEF) anunciou nesta quarta-feira que recusou a proposta
para disputar a Copa América de 2011. Ela substituiria a seleção japonesa, que desistiu após o
terremoto e o tsunami que devastaram o país no início de março.
"A junta diretiva da Real Federação Espanhola de Futebol (RFEF), presidida por Ángel María
Villar, se reuniu hoje [quarta-feira], em Madrid, e agradeceu pelo convite feito, há alguns dias,
pelo presidente da Confederação Sul-Americana de Futebol (Conmebol), Nicolás Leoz, para
participar da Copa América, mas recusou por problemas de calendário", afirmou a RFEF em nota.

No sabemos si se jugará el Lituania-España del martes por culpa del mal estado del césped del
estadio Darisus ir Gireno de Kaunas, pero a dos meses vista podemos estar seguros de que no habrá
problemas para disputar el último amistoso concertado por la RFEF. Absolutamente ninguno.
The King's Cup final between Barcelona and Real Madrid on April 20 will be played at Valencia's
Mestalla stadium, the Spanish soccer federation (RFEF) said today.
Real, seeking their first cup triumph since 1993, and Barca, the 2009 winners, will meet in the
final for the first time since 1990 when Barca won 2-0, also in Valencia.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Abdullah Al Ahmed Al Thani could have done anything with his
time, and with all of his responsibilities on his docket, president of a football club would seem
to be near the bottom of his list. Born from Qatari royalty, the Sheikh billionaire currently
sits on the Board of Directors of Doha Bank and the Qatar Equestrian Federation as well as running
a business empire including but not exclusive to hotel chains, shopping malls, and cellular phone
companies.
With the league title slipping away from Real Madrid's hands, their two cup competitions, the
UEFA Champions League and the Copa del Rey, could be the tournaments that they can realistically
expect to win. Real can stamp its name in the final of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night if
they can navigate a more than tricky second leg tie against the current holders of the cup,
Sevilla.
#5 - Nothing: I've got nothing. I've been sitting here all day and I'm completely
uninspired. Better luck next week.
#4 - SuperLiga: Just die already! This cash grab nonsense has got to stop. Nobody cares
anymore and quite frankly it's become a pointless attempt to score points with Hispanic soccer fans
in the US by bringing Mexican League teams to play against MLS teams.
This would look terrible, the RFEF playing the part of the big, bad meanie, but for the fact he
was fined the simple act of lifting his shirt in celebration to reveal a message any message.
Still, it's nice when getting down to the very essence of the matter: yes, Messi was fined for
birthday wishes.
