Yeah, we will definitely get out of the group. Most likely on top. And the League Cup isn't a biggie.

Important fixtures in the league though. Spurs, Man U, Liverpool, City.

If Chelsea,do win the title this season,they will be doing it in the next 5 league games.

yo francesco, i just saw that great Totti/Lamela combination

Mata:

"I'm a little worried to see so many players leave the Spanish Liga, for the competitiveness of the league. We have two teams fighting for the title, and the third, for four years, ends 30 points behind the champion. If you don't play for Real or Barca, you can't win a trophy. Today, it's impossible for my former club Valencia to win the championship. This can not be good for Spanish football. Supporters of other clubs also suffer."

Belgium killed Serbia. 3-0. And Serbia isn't even a bad team. Fucking great job.

How was De Bruyne's goal?

[Trimss]

It was good. He had a lot of confidence when he was in front of the goalkeeper, he didn't hesitate. He's a great player.

Hazard was disappointing though, he missed an unforgivable chance to score lol.

Messi freekick for Argentina two days ago.

Just like Ronaldinho has done. This is nice, tricking them.

[Guess_Who]

Iker Casillas
En los últimos meses, sin quererlo, me he visto ligado a varios asuntos... Que sí no celebro un gol y es porque estoy triste (la gente que me conoce sabe que si encajo un gol y creo que puedo hacer más, me joroba), otro día que si no apoyo a mi compañero Cristiano (soy un admirador de su juego a mas no poder),otro que si soy el chivato y filtro cosas (a estas alturas de mi vida deportiva y después de 13 años en el club mas grande del mundo, esta fuera de lugar. Creo que me conozco a toda la prensa deportiva pero de eso, a decir que soy yo...me parece ventajista), Luego otro asunto: que si Mou y yo no nos soportamos (si hay alguien al que respeto por encima de todo, es a mi entrenador que ha vuelto a situar al equipo en el sendero de los éxitos)
Que mas? ah,si! Uno que me hace gracia: que dicen que tengo una bandera de España en mi fachada (cuando es la fachada de mi vecino).
En fin, que esperó y deseo que las cosas en lo deportivo vayan mejor, os aseguro que es lo que yo más quiero!! Recordad: se os aprecia!!

I've always liked iker. Those rumours of him not getting along well with Cristiano, are because his girlfriend Sara Carbonero doesn't get along very well with Cristiano. There are many jokes in tv shows about this. But it has nothing to do with Iker.
Having or not having the flag of Spain shouldn't be a big deal.

I saw him once at a shopping center, some kids recognized him and he was signing autographs, very humble. I know some third division footballers that walk like if they were superstars.

[Guess_Who]

you know in football at a moment you are God , at a moment you are the Devil. People take things too seriously, that's not the word actually. He is just a person, he can have bad moments.

But I think people in general love Iker, we call him el santo, he has done so much for the Spanish national team, and also Real Madrid. And as I said he seems to be very humble and down to Earth.

Ashley Cole tweeted that he doesn't know what's happening with his contract situation. I'd like him to extend his contract for another year, but I think he's wants a longer term deal. He's still absolute class, but he's going to be 32 this year. Then again, he ran the length of the field against Norwich in the dying embers of the game to score the winner; he's not exactly slowing down just yet. Whatever happens, he's a legend.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

Chelsea letting Cole go will be the dumbest decision ever,unless they can get their paws on Phillip Lahm,they're stupid.

[Innovation]

This season's thread is pretty much the La Liga (well, Real Madrid and Barcelona) thread lol. Last year was primarily Chelsea/BPL discussion, though. It's funny how it flipped.

I'm happy Atletico have have a good start to the season. They're my favourite team in Spain.

[SajN]

I like Casillas more than Valdes.

[SajN]

Word.


And it's funny how people (*cough*CR-fans*) still claim that Messi is bad on freekicks... when he has actually scored three times on freekick already this season... and of them was against their own team.
