I meant to do this a few days ago but couldn't, thanks to my internet issues as well as the Under-20 World Cup, which I've been following and feel obligated to continue until the bitter end.
But I had collected so many interesting photos from some of the friendly games and other stuff that occurred during the off season. Now that some of the leagues have started up again (English Premier League, Argentine Primera, and Bundesliga, to name a few), I wanted to post them. So here goes:
Liverpool FC vs Valencia CF

This match took place on August 6th. Here are some more pics:











Liverpool's new signings:
Jordan Henderson, Charlie Adam, Doni and Stewart Downing


And on August 12th, Valencia played against AS Roma (see Bojan? He plays for Roma now, of course you knew that.)
And Valencia's kits are absolutely horrendous...horrible! I didn't even recognize the team!







FC Porto

Malaga played against Sporting Lisbon on August 5th. Here, Julio Baptista fights Fito Rinaudo (an Argentine player signed from Gimnasia y Esgrima de la Plata, who went down with River.) :(
Efrain Juarez of Mexico signed with Real Zaragoza. Here he is with Leo Ponzio, who would like to sign on with River Plate and help them back into the Primera A, but his team doesn't want to let him go. *sigh*

Tottenham Hotspur played in a bunch of friendlies. This one, on August 6th, was against Athletic Bilbao.

Date: 2011-08-18 10:19 pm (UTC)Valencia's kits are truly ugly. Urgh. It would have been a lot better not to have blue in those kits but black or white instead. WTF.
So glad to see Fucile again! I was so sorry for him missing the Copa América!
And hehehe, just like Becky I saw two of these friendlies! The one of Athletic against Spurs, and the one of Real Madrid against Hertha! :D
LOLOLOL, this almost looks as if New York Red Bulls tried to sign Wayne Rooney but got the first name wrong and signed his brother instead. XDDD Ahem. Oh, and I really don't like Frank Rost.

Date: 2011-08-21 11:31 am (UTC)Thank god I think those horrendous kits of Valencia's are only for away games, or perhaps only for the European matches. O_O
Awesome to be able to see some of the friendlies! :)
LOL...John Rooney looks a bit like Wayne, but much better, IMO. XD
