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':

Hahaha. Yes, Cisma went from Almeria to Racing. There have been so many transfers already it's just crazy!

Well, I know they are NOT the world's best NTs but I am sure I'll enjoy it. And take lots of photos...we will be very close to the pitch!

Pedro Leon was terrific at Getafe (and nice eye candy) so I'm hoping that he'll fit in at RM!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Sami's signing!!!! :)

Yeah...no more Guti! (And possibly Raul.)

Ahhh...Jesus Datolo was the former Boca Juniors player who went to SSC Napoli and then posed for a gay men's magazine. He subsequently got in trouble with homophobic Napoli and was sent out on loan to Olympiacos last season. But Espanyol have now signed him on. Here's one of his photos from said gay mag:



XDDDD

P.S. Oh yeah!!! I totally love Filipe so had to have him in an icon!
