Real Madrid

Well, yeah but I wouldn't put it in such words. I mean what are the chances of him winning something for Portugal nowadays, especially in the upcoming tourny ? With a sensible coach they can make it to semis or even finals, but definitely will not outplay Spain. After all he plays for the club which has a game every week and would rather watch him deliver here than there. I don't know whether it really is the case but it makes sense.. kind of.

So you are saying that Ronaldo's priority is Madrid rather than his country right?

Rightly or wrongly, i think that may be the case for many footballers these days

[Hamzah]

unless they are at a top team with a realistic chance of winning

Good going by Perez decreasing the debt by 82 Mil .. ironically winning a trophy would have cost us around 30 Mil
Was away for some time so Wolfe can u update me ? i saw France game and if Benzema played the same way this season Higuain will have big issues snatching a starting place .
he was totally amazing and MOM .. and against a tough Bosnia in Sarajevo he was pretty impressive

I remember how according to you Fattygol sucked back when he was linked with Barcelona every other week..funny how things change.

Jozy saying that CR will start against Osasuna...Guess Mourinho does indeed channel Harry Potter if he was able to miraculously recover from all those terrible knocks he complained of

What exactly do you want updated on ?

French are floppers which they showed against Belarus and Benzema being probably the only over the average player does not really increase his chances at the club especially, because of nice goal of Higuain against Spain. Mourinho said it himself during the latest conference about Ronaldo being a starter against Osa that he is glad that Benzema does not accept himself being 2nd forward after Higuain and he's glad that he's fighting for his spot, also delivering for national team.

Pepe and Ronaldo are likely to return to the first team on Sunday which is certainly a good thing. Don't know about Lass, but earlier in the week there was info that he started training with the ball again so that whole Mallorca injury thing could be a Mourinho smokescreen to prevent them from getting even more fatigued. Hopefully we'll see Ramos and maybe even Pedro Leon on the right side so that we can actually start to deliver from the wings.

I only hope that he gives up Canales as a first team option. This is not what the first team needs right now. Also, Mou didn't select Momo to the squad.

Cronaldo is injurd ?
nvm i havn't been followingMuch about RM these days o.O

[stokebarca]

Out of morbid interest, what is Reals current financial position?

[Poor_Sunyol]

Fucked but they won't admit it and always fudge the figures.

[Wolfe]

@up


Financial position probably couldn't be better for this moment. Decreasing net debt by a quarter over a year is heck of an achievement taking into account all of these transfers. Perez knows how to make make money, but antimadridistas won't admit it

Also, Marca has reported their version of first 11 for today:
Casillas; Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Carvalho, Marcelo; Khedira, Xabi Alonso; Özil, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Higuaín.

4-3-3 with Ronaldo, Benzema and Higuaín upfront. Interesting, yet unlikely IMO.

[Poor_Sunyol]

Two Spaniards.....

[Plip]

Two Spaniards.....

+ 1 cantera....

Eh..
Like it makes a difference.. Spanish roots are Spanish roots.

[Poor_Sunyol]
