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':

Peru is coming?!?! I did not know that!!

Claudio Pizarro... Paolo Guerrero! My two favourites. Aahh, Happy Birthday to you indeed. :D

YES!!! On September 4th. I do hope that the best players for Peru will be there! I just ADORE Paolo Guerrero.♥ But rarely did the players I most wanted to see end up coming for the other teams I've seen here: Real Madrid was missing Sergio Ramos, River Plate was missing ALL their 'bigger' stars, although Diego Buonanotte was there but did not play, Benfica was missing Pablo Aimar, Celtic was missing Aiden McGeady and Georgios Samaras, and Seattle Sounders' Fredy Montero was there but was only subbed on in the last 20 minutes! However, I am not complaining because there were many other 'big' stars at all those matches and they were all thrilling.

Thank you!♥
