I love this score line. It reminds me of when we beat Benfica 5-3 in last year’s Cup semi final after being down 2-0 and later 3-2. It also makes me feel all warm and fuzzy about the fact that on the eve of the Champions League draw (about to start in 10 [...]

By: Greg | No Comments
Every end of August / early September since 1979, Real Madrid have played a preseason cup tournament in honor of their pioneering long time president Santiago Bernabéu.

Gato Fedorento is a group of comedic actors who introduce and perform spoofs as well as sketches. They’re rather popular in Portugal as they tackle a number of topics that are very much in the public eye.
Think of them as a Portuguese Dave Chapelle Show with more current events and football thrown in. [...]

I figured a fixture schedule might be a nice thing to have and take a peek at, so here it is. I’ve bolded the matches against the Cheaters and the Lampoes Lampiões (which are WAY too fucking early in the season for my taste).
