So I've been sick the past few days which put a damper on my weekend but I was able to watch myy host brothers soccer game and both the barcelona and real madrid games. My host brother plays for the Salamanca team and they had their game sunday against Real Madrid (the club is actually run by the real real madrid same uniforms and a big bus with real madrid on it, so that was kinda cool. The staduim was really nice, big for a youth game and lots of spanish fans. I only have one bad picture unortunatly because the sun was in our eyes by the time I remembered to take the photo. Anyway they lost 1-0 on an unfotunate goal, but it was still fun to watch and a great level of soccer, much higher VT high school or nordic or anything I've ever played in the states. For those of you who went to Europe with me I was reminded of the french team that killed us the first day. Anyway that night I went out to watch my first game at a bar for the first time because the game wasn't on at home. This was absolutly the way to go. Barcelona on a big projector and Madrid on another TV on the other side of the room filled with excited and drunk spaniards. What more could one ask for to watch soccer? Unfortunatly Barcelona lost and Madrid win increasing there lead to 5 points in la liga, but it was still a good time. Oh and Ronaldinho scored a sweet goal on a bicycle kick which I recommend all of you should youtube.

hey matt! como estas!? como te va en espana! como vivies el futbol alla! bueno soccer pues! vistes que el madrid quedo descalificado :S i cant belive! i hate roma team!
That was an amazing goal to see.
Hey Everybody,
So who is anonymous? I did see the Madrid game and it was a shame. Though I think in both games roma was the stronger team, they easily could have had 4 or 5 goals last night. They hit the crossbar twice and came close many other times. Though Madrid as well could have finished a few opportunities. The biggest shame however is that 3 of the 4 spanish teams have been eliminated in this round and only Barca remains, but without Messi. I must say I agree though I'm not a fan of roma myself, but hopefully barca pull off a champions league victory this year, and maybe even a comeback in la liga!
