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:

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!

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*

I'm actually completely in love with Valencia's striped kits <3 I love the Valencian flag so much, every time I see it I get all giddy, so these kits make me happy. I think the socks with the shirts are horrible though, haha (I'll probably buy the socks anyway... how can you turn those down?!)

HIGUAÍN CAPTAIN! So awesome!

Well, Valencia's new kits are bright...I'll give them that! O_O
LOL. But I liked their black & white and I think they will keep those ones anyway. :)

The socks are just TOOOOO much!

Awww...Higuain deserves to be captain once in awhile! :)

I don't even recognise the Liverpool team anymore - there have been so many changes since 2009! O__O And I'm slightly worried that the only ones of the new signings that I've actually heard of are Stewart Downing and Doni (though I don't really know anything about the latter). Ah well, I'm trying to be optimistic.

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.

This season seems to be the one of MANY changes...not just for Liverpool but for other big teams as well (Real Madrid, AS Roma, Atletico Madrid, more I can't think of...) The new Liverpool team is awesome! From watching their first two matches, I can see that they need a bit more time of playing together (there are too many instances of one player yelling at another because he wasn't where he was supposed to be) but they are still managing wins and/or important away ties. I'm excited about them!

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
