Imagine if Bojan had chosen to play for Serbia , already Serbia have a great youth team (as seen in the Euro U21s this summer)

So does anyone know what boywonder Rossis goal was like.

I see he has now scored 4 goals already and fired Villareal to the top of the league. Whenever he is given the opportunity the boy scores goals.

Rossi's goal was a mistake by the keeper, but his two on Saturday were good. Here it is (today's goal). His is the 2nd one, Nihat with the first.

In the Murcia-Almeria game (which Murcia ended with 9 men), there was a funny incident - Almeria took a corner which hit a Murcia player on the chest. The ref whistled for a free kick because he thought it was handball. But the Murcia player was adamant, and took off his shirt to show the ref the mark of the ball on his body. So the ref gives him a second yellow for removing his shirt in the field of play!!!!

Only in La Liga

Iniesta & Messi

Also great to see Aguero banging in the goals. 4 in the league already for him this season - class act.

Ha ha that's hilarious.

Ps cheers for the Rossi vid, I hope he carrys on scoring and convinces SAF to buy him back.

Forlans goal was splendid, as was Sergios.

Watching 3 former united forwards tear it up in Spain, makes me wish we still had at least 2 of them at united.

There's a lot of interest in the La Liga goals, so I'll post these every matchday:

The wonderboy would not fail, it was as much blind faith as it was guaranteed glory. Now like last year with Kanoute, i suspect you all shall be rushing to get Rossi in your team by week 8

Villareal top of the league awesome

Forlan used to hit crackers like them in for us, it's amazing the way he has come on in la liga though.

IMO the Aguero goal wasn't that good. Yes, the cut back past Del Horno was good, but once he did that the space opened up for him to drive into the box.

It is funny since it happened to someone else, but if that happened to your team you would be furious. That ref should be suspended. That could end up costing Murcia at the end of the season.

Loads of goals this jornada

Both were very nice , forlans was amazing

Madrid-Betis about to get underway. Hoping for a hattrick from Sobis

My god, how $h!t is Diarra...

how badly injured is matuzelum BTW ?

how toure did not get a red for that horror tackle I will never know

He's out for 2 months. And tbh, I don't understand - Toure went in really hard, but he got the ball first as far as I could see.

Yesterday's match had a few casualties - Zambrotta got injured for a month in an earlier incident with Matuzalem, and Diogo had pins inserted in his arm, though I don't think any Barcelona player caused his injury.

I'm being honest, in the replays I felt he touched the ball. Anyway, that's the kind of tackle that Ramos and Cannavaro always make (though the latter misses them ) and get away with no foul or yellow all the time.


How did Mark Gonzalez miss that? Blind idiot.

Madrid are living dangerously, a Rivas header coming back off the inside of the post.

Real madrid 0-0 Betis


Madrid are still a very careless side; playing Cr@p against teams they should easily beat.

Raul had some half chances early on in the match, apart from that Real haven't done any thing attacking wise. Betis on the other hand have had 2 100% chances, but luckily for Madrid none was taken. it should easily have been 0-2 though

Schuster got the lineup wrong based on things so far. Any idiot knows Cuper's team will come to defend, so you must play a more creative player than Higuain. ie. Robinho. Or stop being such a pussy about starting Robben, at least he'd stay wide instead of cutting in like Higuain is doing.

And Raul should have been rested for van Nistelrooy, because he's got on the end of a few chances but hasn't finished them off. Theoretically Saviola should do that job, but I don't think anyone knows exactly what use Saviola serves to a team, apart from popping up and grabbing a goal every now and then.

@Kas

RVN failed a late fitness test. But even then, as I was saying in the Madrid thread, Saviola - Raul is a bad partnership and I would very much prefer to see Baptista there. Also, no point in using Diarra and 2 defensive fullbacks (Heinze + Torres) in a game against a team playing catenaccio.

So madrid 1-0 up now.

a dubious Raul penalty.

Robben had a goal disallowed minutes a go. There was nothing wrong with the goal imo, but i guess that cancels out the penalty decision

madrid 2-0 now.

very good overhead kick by Baptista.


haha Betis just missed again another great chance. Madrid have been very lucky tonight

Betis had only 35% of possession an managed to get 5 shots on target (2 hit the crossbar and the other the post).
