RANDOM STUFF: MOSTLY ON LA LIGA

[jenni_blog]

#1: AFTER CONSIDERING FOR AWHILE, I FINALLY SPLASHED OUT AND BOUGHT TICKETS TO MY FIRST INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY! YOU CAN LAUGH, BUT THIS MEANS A LOT TO ME BECAUSE I'VE NEVER BEEN TO AN INTERNATIONAL GAME. THE NT OF CANADA WILL BE PLAYING THAT OF PERU ON SEPTEMBER 4TH AT BMO FIELD IN TORONTO. Okay, I know both teams are NOT exactly Uruguay, Paraguay or Argentina, but they are still national teams, and they both have some interesting players. Anyway, it was my birthday present to myself. I'll probably go with my son Jamie. Since my birthday is so close to match date, it was my present to myself. The tickets were expensive, costing over $100.00 each, but I got fantastic seats...3rd row up at midfield!

#2: REAL MADRID SIGNS PEDRO LEON.









#3: Interesting article from 'La Liga Weekly'. They have a new section called 'Real Madrid Watch':

Yay Int friendlies! I went to my first one this year too (NZ v Serbia) and it turned out to be a historic win for NZ.. awesome XD I hope you have as much fun as I did!!!

Wow!! Pedro is smoking hot!

Also, good to hear about Datolo, hope he enjoys it there at Espanyol. I miss him in Boca! It's hard when so many players transfer all the time, but it's good for them/their careers so I guess I can't complain too much :) I like to see them doing well!!!

and yup, that shoot he did for the gay mag.. omg :P

New Zealand has turned out to be a great team. You know what would be a fantastic friendly? New Zealand vs Uruguay. I'd pay even more to watch that one!

Yes, Pedro is one of those extremely attractive, extremely talented players who is electrifying to watch. When he's on the pitch you can't take your eyes off him. :)

I loved Datolo with Boca! Sometimes it's not a good idea to move, but perhaps things will be better for him at Espanyol.

Hahahaha. The gay mag shoot was pretty spectacular. :P
