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':

This is not exactly the most important part of this entry but WHAT!? CISMA SIGNED FOR RACING?! When?! Ah. What? I really like those kits though, and Mallorca's a nice as well- I really like the orange and the white!

K, #1- *squee* What an awesome birthday present!! You'll have a blast, I'm sure.

#2- Yay Pedro León! I do like him :o) I'm kind of like, "Stop changing my team!" but he's cool. And the most I see the new kit, the more I like it. It looks great on him!
#3- thanks for the link! PS, hello Sami <3
#4- WOW! So he's really going? It's going it be weird... and less dramatic, haha ;o)
#5- Don't know this Jesús guy, but that's cool.

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

Oh man.. That would be an amazing game!! Well you know what they've been saying on the news here, that they are definitely looking to South America, because it is much closer than Europe..... NZ seems to have more connections with Chile & Argentina, but Uruguay would be *so* * amazing*
I am looking forward to Boca vs Wellington Phoenix next week.... yes my trip just "somehow" *happens* to coincide with it LOL!!!!! I never thought I would see my two teams play each other!!! o.O;;
