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':

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;;

I can't wait to see the 'All Whites' playing again in the next WC. And before then too, I hope. :)

Hey, any of those matches would be awesome...Chile, Argentina or Uruguay! Let's hope they can put some friendlies together!

OMG...yes! Of course, Boca is in Australia as we speak! That is tremendously exciting for you. I felt the same way when Real Madrid came to Toronto last year for a friendly. River Plate too, and Benfica. Three of my favourite teams, all in one year! XD
