Catalunya vs Euskal Herria–When Language, Culture and Football mix in Spain —
Sevilla
Spanish football is never short of passion. Real Madrid-Barcelona ‘clasicos’ divide families and towns in two when these teams meet twice a year in the Spanish La Liga.

My 2007 World's Best XI —
Anfield Banter
I'm pretty bored, so I thought I'd throw my irrelevant two cents into the mix. Here's who I think were the world's best XI in 2007. Feel free to flog me, I know nothing, of course. GK - Petr Čech Casillas, Reina, and Buffon are all incredible, but some of the saves Čech makes are just plain silly. Rarely does a side score against him without a phenomenal effort. LB - Gianluca Zambrotta Heinze, ...

El Atlético de Madrid tendrá una Navidad no tan alegre como se suponía luego de que cayera en el Vicente Calderón ante el Espanyol de Barcelona por 1 - 2.
