It's Real Madrid Day

It's been awhile since I've posted. Forget that last post. It's several days old, but never got posted due to a clerical error in the publishing department. Anyhow, got caught up in one of the princesses tournaments, but now have a little lull until the next one.

So, what's been going on? Well, today is the Real Madrid V. DC United match. I'm looking forward to seeing some good soccer players, but not expecting a great soccer match. Hey, it's a friendly; a boots and ball show for the Yanks. I'll be happy to see the players show some of their stuff, and score a few goals.

It looks like mighty changes are in works for Arsenal. While Henry is worried that Ashely Cole is leaving (and rightfully fretting about the wisdom of selling him to the Evil Empire), he seems to be the only one who still thinks the issue in doubt. JAR is apparently on the verge of joining Real Madrid (though certainly not in time for me to boo him tonight!). And the Best Looking Man in Football seems certain to join the Gunners - now this, I'm excited about. I thought Ribery was electrifying in the French midfield and would be well-suited to the Arsenal attack.

And amidst all the settling of the side, Gunners blasted Dinamo Zagreb in Champions League qualifying match last night away at Dinamo. Cesc Fabregas netted twice and Van Persie scored to seal the win for a side missing many of the team's star players.

The geographically challenged Sol Campbell, who wanted to end his career abroad, apparently believes that Portsmouth is somewhere outside of England. Let's hope he has better luck locating his old form than dealing with geography. What a weird ending to a great Arsenal career.

And if you thought English fans would be all forgive and forget for CRonaldo, it doesn't appear that way.
