No Ronaldo, no Messi, no BeIn Sports...push?  At least I'll be able to watch this year.

I'm reading this right now to get ready

Always fucked with Barca over Real because of Messi. Will continue to do so because of Dest. 

That said, may watch half a game this season. Just don't have the capacity to follow multiple soccer leagues plus international play and CL.

Alejandro Moreno announcing for Alaves vs Real Madrid.  Not a great first impression for espn+

Just let me know when they get Twellman on the call so I can clear my schedule.

A fracas just broke out in stoppage time in Celta Vigo vs Atletico.  Both benches onto the field.  Looks like at least one red card for each team.  Believe it or not, it started due to Suarez trying to sell a foul but then getting up and running after Celta Vigo didn't play it out.

And Atelti holds on to win 2-1 after 10 minutes of stoppage time.  4 yellows and 1 red for each side plus a red for Atleti's fitness coach.

Barca at 1pm today for anyone that wants to watch Dest. On fucking ABC if you can believe it.

So for the past several years when they had the best player in the world I could only watch Barca on soccerstreams because BeIn had shit for carriage.  Now their first game since Messi left is on fucking ABC.  It's like 1000 spoons man.

It's hilarious. The Mouse is standing around with its dick in its hands pissing on a dumpster. 

May not actually watch today. Want to see Sam play.

2-0 on a nice cross from de Jong.  I will say that ESPN's sideline cameras are on point.  The throw in and goal celebration shots are very nice.

Espanyol just scored an apparent winner in stoppage time vs Villarreal but it went off the crossbar and then off the attackers arm and in.  0-0 final.  Espanyol have started their return season with 2 straight scoreless draws.

Granada also had an apparent winner in stoppage time disallowed for offside and draw with Valencia at 1-1.

Wow, Sevilla just scored in stoppage time to beat Getafe 1-0.  Rafa Mir hit the post but Lamela was there to score the rebound.  After, Atletico won and Real tied yesterday, Atletico and Sevilla are now tied at the top after 2 games.

Posted

Sergi Roberto scores in the 2nd minute to give Barca a 1-0 lead over Getafe.

Dest starts on the bench.  Pedri is also given the day off after playing roughly 35 games for Spain this summer.

Posted

Yeah, that was nuts.  Defender heads it back toward the center of the goal and the keeper isn't there.  

That result and Barca's win means that after three games, 6 teams are tied at the top with 7 points.  Hopefully it remains a tight multi-team race all season.

My life-long favorite La Liga club for the last 24 hours is Mallorca. The Fighting Stuarto Holdenezes are tied with 5 other teams at the top of the league with 7 points on 3 matches and are only in 6th place due to a slim goal differential deficiency.

Tied with 4 other teams in La Liga with Fewest Goals Allowed (1), but a little lacking on the front end, Stu Holden, his MILF wife, and the rest of the American brain trust behind Mallaga's rise to the top turned to the mean streets of Gelsenkirchen, Deutschland to snatch a California kid with a gunslinger's swagger to turn their offensive fortunes around.

And though his new city, Palma (~410K), will be larger than his previous one, Gelsenkirchen (259K), the football stadium (estadio de fútbol or Fußballstadion) will be about 1/3 the size, due to Gelsenkirchen actually being located in a metropolitan area of over 10 million people.

Life will be different. The language will be different. The weather will be different. The deli meats will be different. But the rules of the game are somewhat the same.

Even this guy will be speaking the Spanish.


Kang-In Lee en la casaaaaaa!!!

Vamos Real Mallorca!

And Lemar gets the winner for Atletico in the 99th minute.

With this and the own goal from Villarreal last game, that's 3 big points they've picked up right at the end.

Atletico beats Barca 2-0 at the new Calderon.  Suarez had the 2nd goal.  Barca is reeling.  Two 3-0 CL losses and only 5 points in their last 4 in La Liga.

Watching a video about Luis Enrique and it covered his scoring against Real Madrid in the Bernabeu for Barcelona after he had played for Real Madrid for 5 seasons prior to his switch.

I love the proper Spanish lady in this still shot from the video.

Barca beats Valencia 3-1.  It was Dest vs Musah for awhile toward the end.  Kun Aguero also finally made his Barca debut.

First el clasico of the season tomorrow at 9:15 on espn+.  Decent read on ESPN:

Ian Darke on the call today.  It seemed like ESPN has been setting up Derek Rae as their voice of La Liga - it's been fun listening to an Englishman try so hard to correctly pronounce Spanish names.
