Welcome to the Friday Crackovia Club, where it's always a party in
here before the weekend! Of course, Crackovia is one of the most craziest football
sketch shows from Catalonia and this week was all about Barcelona's quest
to slow down Madrid using some insane dressing room rituals.
A goal from Sergio Ramos was enough to gave Real Madrid a slender 1-0 win against city rivals
Getafe to maintain their seven-point lead over title rivals Barcelona at the top of the Spanish
Liga.
The visitors dominated possession but created few clear-cut opportunities and the match was
eventually settled by Ramos's 18th-minute goal, the Spanish international defender meeting Mesut
Özil's corner with a flying header that powered into the top right coner.

Is Jose Mourinho putting out feelers for a return to England at the end of the season?
According to a report in The Sunday Times (subscription required), an unnamed source close to
Mourinho intimated that the Real coach could leave. "He was sick and tired of this situation at
Madrid.

Somewhere beneath this 'Blaugrana Happiness Pile' lies Pedro, who
scored the opening goal in Barca's 2-2 draw with Real Madrid at the Nou Camp last night.
Real Madrid came back from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 with Barcelona, but that was not
enough as Barcelona progressed to the Copa del Rey semi-finals 4-3 on aggregate.
Real Madrid will rue their missed chances, especially in the first twenty minutes when they had
more than enough chances to win this match.

The rematch of last week's el clasico between Barcelona and Real
Madrid will be played out tonight and amigas y chicos, the bloody war has already
begun! Although both sides are trying to express solidarity among themselves, it's absurd to be all
calm and polite when we know the outcome of tonight is going to make either
Mourinho or Pep tear up their team sheets at the press
conference.
Real dissension in the ranks?
The Real Madrid fans are in a barracking mood, just like the fans giving stick to Arsene Wenger.
The Barca game blew up in their face because Mou decided to stick 11 men behind the ball and with
the exception of an 11th minute of enterprise, played like he was afraid to lose which is exactly
what happened.

Rumours are circulating of a serious training ground dispute between coach Jose Mourinho and
vice-captain Sergio Ramos on Friday.
According to Madrid-based sports paper Marca, Mourinho accused his playing staff of betrayal
following their post-match press reaction on Wednesday night.
Jose Mourinho's intentions were perfectly telegraphed as he consigned Mesut Oezil and Esteban
Granero to anonymity. He started three holding midfielders with Lassana Diarra, Xabi Alonso, and
Pepe in a deliberate park the bus tactics. The last mentioned was relocated to midfield from his
usual centre back position with Sergio Ramos partnering Ricardo Carvalho.
I don't think they come lower than Pepe. Even animals have a sense of fair play. This man if you
can call him that should be banned from the sport for life. Leo Messi goes down after colliding
with Callejon and while he's down, Pepe strolls casually over and deliberately plants his studs on
Messi's hand.

Welcome to Offbeat Wednesday, where we cover the wacky side of football! Today, read about the
Rooneys' mismatched outfits, Guti's bizarre return to Real Madrid, Mario Balotelli's ride and
Irina Shayk's "cam-whoring" tendencies. All in a day's work, it seems!
It's Wayne's World.
El equipo ideal del año fue monopolizado por los españoles, que situaron a seis jugadores entre
los 11 seleccionados. El llamado "once mundial" quedó compuesto por Iker Casillas en el arco; Dani
Alves, Gerard Piqué, Nemanja Vidic y Sergio Ramos en defensa; Andrés Iniesta, Xabi Alonso y Xavi
en el centro del campo; Messi, Wayne Rooney y Cristiano Ronaldo en ataque.
Real Madrid set up a potential Copa Del Rey quarter-final against FC Barcelona after a 1-0
victory against Málaga earned the Whites a 4-2 aggregate win.
It was a tense night as Malaga only needed a 1-0 victory in order to advance on the away goals
rule. In a very tactical first half the best chance fell to Sergio Ramos, whose header right before
half-time just missed the target.

09.01.2012 - De final anunciado, la celebración y entrega del Premio Balón de Oro (2011)
coronó a Lionel Messi como el mejor jugador del mundo (por tercera vez consecutiva).
Con 55 goles en 57 partidos y 5 títulos con Barcelona (Liga de España , Champions League ,
Mundial de Clubes, Supercopa de España y Supercopa de Europa, el año de Messi volvió a romper
récords y felicitaciones.
Despite Cristiano Ronaldo's impressive form which is seeing him lead the top scorer's list in
the Spanish La Liga, it is looking very likely that Messi will win the FIFA Ballon d'Or for a 3rd
consecutive year when the gala takes places on Monday.
Ronaldo's muted celebrations against Granada yesterday are fueling a lot of rumours that the
Portuguese star could be on the verge of a break down especially with the constant comparisons to
Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

This lo-res candid photo is doing the rounds today after being released into the wild by
Barcelona's official club photographer, one Miguel Ruiz.

We thought long and hard about how to thank our faithful band of soldier boys and girls for
their support this year. Among the management proposals vetoed by the staff were:
- Spending the money set aside for the party season bar bills/lawyers fees on a couture outfit
for each and every one of you, with the balance to be contributed towards the search for Fernando
Torres' mojo.
Welcome to Offbeat Wednesday... our weekly special! In the jovial spirit of the
week, let's start with Alvaro Negredo's wedding which took place on Christmas Eve.
The Sevilla striker married the mother of Aitana, his ten-month old daughter in
his hometown.
This entire video screams 'delirium' at best, but there's nothing better than a
footballer who can bake in an apron. Even if it's Pepe, who has
been rudely left out of the Real Madrid Fangirl- Friendly Gang! You know what
we're talking about, chicas!

Barcelona recovered from conceding the quickest goal in El Clasico history to defeat
Real Madrid 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu, delivering a decisive blow in the race for the La Liga
title.
The victory snaps Madrid's 15 game winning streak and sees Barcelona leapfrog their bitter
rivals to reclaim first place in the provisional Primera Division standings.

There are fewer joys in the world than the spectacle of seeing Barca coming to the Santiago
Bernabeu and beat the crap out of Jose Mourinho's brownshirts. Which they proceeded to do summarily
in the first edition of this year's El Clasico.
Real is considered favorites to win La Liga and the Champions League this season but they need
to solve the riddle that Barca poses them.
Finalmente la fecha marcada en el calendario llega de nuevo para el enfrentamiento esperado entre
el Real Madrid y el F.C. Barcelona. Regresa este apasionante duelo luego de aquel póker de
clásicos en abril y de los duelos de la Supercopa de España en agosto, donde las mayores
alegrías fueron culés con el pase a la final de la Champions League que posteriormente ganaron,
la consecución de la Liga y la misma Supercopa, en cambio los merengues si bien pudieron vencer en
tiempo extra en la Copa del Rey y terminar la racha de seis partidos sin lograrlo, quedaron aún
mermados por la continuidad de la hegemonía culé un año más.
We did a double take at the Mourinho doppelgänger to Sergio's right.
Ask us to tell you about a Davis Cup and we can't. What we can speak with authority on is
Sergio Ramos, stereotypes and his tucked-in salmon button shirt.
For an entire year we filed him under our "those guys" grouping.
So finally we've gotten this game out of the way. After Madrid's Burger King Boys (Getafe) knocked
the wind off the sails of Barcelona, opening up a SIX (6!) point lead between us and them, the
trolling from Cule trash talkers seems to have gone on overdrive (check out the last few posts at
RMFB) – pushing the pre-clasico fever a couple of days too early.

Sergio Ramos has just posted a picture of his new ink on Twitter and it's quite...well...let's
be kind and say 'distinctive'...
I'm all for being proud of your acheivements, but having your CV needled across your body is a
little much. What next?
In Saturday's Madrid derby it was clear that one of Atletico's tactics was to be very physical.
That tactic backfired when five Atletico Madrid players were shown yellow cards while two more were
shown straight reds.
Atletico's tactics did not go down well with the Real Madrid players and Cristiano Ronaldo made
sure that the Atletico President knew how they felt about these types of tactics.
Kicking off our Wednesday column is the Brazilian trio of Thiago Silva, Robinho and
Pato who are seen here passionately dancing to "Ai se eu te pego" ("Oh, if I
catch you", a cheeky tune by by Michel Teló) on a train. This video has been
going viral, so you absolutely must see it for Pato's
cringe-worthy dance moves, which he has been known for since his days at
Internacional.
"Yeah we gotcha!" was what Benzema was probably singing to himself after he scored a peach of a
goal from a cleverly-taken early free kick by Xabi Alonso AS's Alfredo Relano called last
night's game vs. Valencia our worst game of the season and though it's easy to contest his
statement with even worse Madrid performances so far this season (e.
