smfh

Wonder if he'll be fined or banned for this? Nevermind this is Mr. Ballon D'or

lol @ youtube comments. Xjemler didn't know u had so many accounts bro

Ramos (no surprise here) also punched Mandzukic in the face and wasn't sent off.

But they always quick to bawl referee mafia wrt Barca. SMH

[LikaStick]

didn't get to see the match....but seeing that vid....this song came to mind





anyways....really not surprised at the results....Carlo is at the stage of experimenting again like the start of last season and I believe it will take a couple more matches to get it right (hopefully)....we did not need James (at this point, but later on as a replacement for r7)....what we really needed was another #9 cuz Benz is useless 75% of the time....but crappy decisions were made and we just have to deal with it and learn to adapt....really want Jese back out ASAP

Mandzukic! Big Bayern player

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says that Angel Di Maria is leaving the La Liga giants -- so a move to Manchester United for around 80 million euros is now likely to be completed in the coming days.

Di Maria's future has been a huge talking point around the Bernabeu all summer, with club president Florentino Perez apparently keen to sell to at least partially balance the books after spending the same amount on World Cup star James Rodriguez from Monaco.

Ancelotti had at first appeared keen to hang on to a player who was so important to Madrid winning the Champions League and Copa del Rey trophies last season, but changed his perspective last week when he claimed that Di Maria himself was now trying to force a move away.

ESPN sources have learned that Manchester United are close to agreeing a fee, but that Real Madrid want the same deal as they paid for James: 75 million euros, plus five million euros in incentives.

Still, Ancelotti revealed that a transfer is so close to completion that Di Maria had already said goodbye to his soon to be former Blancos teammates.

"[Di Maria] came in, but this morning he did not train," Ancelotti said. "It is not fully done, but he is close to a transfer. He came to say goodbye. We thanked him for what he has done for this team and we wished him luck for the future. It is not official, but it is resolved."

And congrats to cr7 on winning uefa best player

[<=xjemler=>]

Cristiano Ronaldo has been named as Uefa's Best Player in Europe for his Champions League-winning heroics with Real Madrid in 2013-14.

The Portuguese, 29, scored a remarkable 17 goals in 11 European games as Carlo Ancelotti's stormed to the Decima and struck three times en route to Copa del Rey glory as Madrid completed the cup double.

The former Manchester United forward was voted as the best player ahead of Bayern Munich duo Manuel Neuer and Arjen Robben, who starred as Pep Guardiola's men lifted four of a possible six trophies last season.

"I'm really, really happy," Ronaldo said upon being presented the award following the draw for the 2014-15 Champions League group stage on Thursday.

"I have to say thank you to my team-mates, to my family, my friends. I don't have this trophy in my museum - I'll put it there straight away."

Alonso gone
But the prospects of kroos and khedira or Modric even illara looks good...

More than likely this means Falcao should be signed soon...on loan

They also making a move for reus...but next season...I feel cr maybe heading out rm

Hala madrid !!!

[Ronaldo95163]

^CR7 said that a move back to ManU in the future is not impossible...but I doubt he'd be leaving Real soon

[zondafan]

I would not like to see him leave. .but its rm..and they will always try to buy better..if they line up someone better..he will be gone..they did the similar with Raul. .also he has been getting injured a bit...Bale is already a direct replacement. ..I am just saying. ..I could be wrong. ..just how I see it..im open to other opinions


Also what formation would you guys think will be the best suited for the players we have
I like the 4231 but thats not much possession football
An unorthodox formation could be 5131
Im not a fan of the 433

[LikaStick]

am glad we got Liverpool....this meeting has been long overdue....fairly OK group but as we have learnt in the past never underestimate these small teams....

happy for Ronaldo....now I want him benched for a few matches proper or however long is required until he truly heals


this transfer season has been terrible....don't know what the heck is going through Flo's head....we need another striker, Benz being unchallenged is not going to cut it....di Maria & Alonso leaving has left a crack in the heart of Real Madrid....sigh

I like the 4231 but thats not much possession football

our strength is counterattacking so I don't care much to change it to possession....although we do lose the ball waaayyy too easily
I am seriously worried about this season....

[<=xjemler=>]

CR7 rested for the away match. He truly needs this rest.

REAL MADRID MATCHDAY SQUAD:

Goalkeepers: Casillas, Keylor Navas and Pacheco

Defenders: Varane, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Carvajal, Arbeloa and Nacho

Midfielders: Bale, Khedira, Kroos, James Rodríguez, Modric, Isco and Illarra

Strikers: Benzema and Raúl de Tomás

[<=xjemler=>]

Falcao tweeted he's going to Real Madrid then deleted the tweet

Hmmm............

[zondafan]

I agree we really need another striker..maybe even two..a third striker who can be effective in copa games etc..morata was perfect. .but I am happy he out on loan. .hope he comes back to rm as a top striker

Carlo style is more possession. .the counter attack is nice but they really do give away the ball far too easily. .the def does seem to have their moments. .I wanted another cb this transfer window..

This season is a bit worrying I agree..cause they strengthen up front to an extent.modric and james will have to be rotated.. def still has problems with the set piece...navas will have some work..

We will wait and see..I hope they announce Falcao today

[LikaStick]

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad
3:00pm


our flaws are in abundance and away to Sociedad is never an easy thing....Bale bulking up seems to have done more bad than good since he appears awkward on the field....James is a bit lost but the more matches he plays and the more goals he scores will boost his confidence....Carlo needs to get this together and fast....

[Ronaldo95163]

Link to live stream???

According to ESPN is the game from 2000 they gonna be showing :/

[zondafan]

One nil....ramos !!!!!
