PuntersAdvice Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) The Madrid derby this weekend! If Real win this they should win the league especially as they host the next Classico. I expect Atletico to play ultra defensively and aim for a 1-0 win. Edited February 27, 2014 by PuntersAdvice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The way Real are playing at the moment, they should win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I don't follow spanish football at all, but after all the crap José got last year for Dropping Casillas I've noticed that he is not in the Madrid first 11 today. Has he been a regular this year? If not is CA getting the same amount of grief José got? This isn't a pro José post, just found it interesting.

Rovers13 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 He hasn't started the league games only the cup games. Lopez (except today) has been really good. So mourinho didn't just do it out of spite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a strange situation because he had played in every cup game and set a club record for minutes without conceding a goal this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 4, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yep Lopez has been excellent since getting his chance. Another player who brings out my hatred for commentators. Saw Andy Townsend commentating on a Real game last season and he was bewildered that Lopez wasn't throwing the ball into his own net or letting every shot in as if he was some sort of unknown rookie.

Rovers13 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Didn't they buy him? It's not like he was just promoted by real, he had been a regular starter and a good keeper for Sevilla or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 puyol has announced he's leaving in the summer not sure if he'll retire or try for one last pay day, injuries have got to him in the last 2/3 years, great player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Not sure if any MLS club will want to give a very injury prone 35 year old a big pay day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 great player and his presence is still felt at the club as their defence is woeful without him with the average Pique and some centre midfielders playing in there. Really need to sign a centre half in summer or will continue to struggle. plus Valdes going as well and the rumour is Xavi will too. that's the 3 captains of the team and think Barcelona could be in for a transitional phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 its a marketing thing more than anything else, they sign puyol, they get a good injury prone player who might play 25% of the games, but at the same time they get international media coverage raising the profile of the club and increased shirt sales can you imagine what signing puyol would do to say dallas in spain / barcelona / europe? same as la galaxy signing beckham did here id guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry and Nesta have played in teams and don't think they have raised New York or Montreal profile in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 you dont think henry has raised the profile of new york red bulls? id say they are probably the 2nd biggest team here after LA nesta i agree but montreal are a new team and with them having di vaio, corradi and ferrari too id be surprised if there isnt a bit of interest in them in italy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 my Italian friends who support Milan thought he had retired until I told them about him in Montreal and seemed shocked. as for Red Bulls their popularity is mainly because of JPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Spanish second division. Teams in the playoffs could go down. Teams in the relegation zone could go up. Talk about a tight division! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
