El Madrid sale ganando en el Clásico

Real Madrid managed to make a complete turnover at Camp Nou, during one of the less eventful El Clásico matches in recent years. Despite the fact that Barcelona had started off with more initiative, and the fact Real ended the game with a man down due to the expulsion of Sergio Ramos, the end result was 1:2, in favor of the guests.

Završeno je Evropsko prvenstvo u futsalu. Tokom poslednjeg dana takmičenja, odigrane su dve utakmice. Srbija-Kazahstan i finale, između Španije i Rusije. Selekcija Srbije nije uspela da se oporavi od poslednjeg poraza, te je večeras ispustila bronzanu medalju. Novi šampion Evrope u futsalu je Španija.

Spain is the new European Futsal Champion, after beating Russia by 7:2, while Serbia finished 4th, after a 2:5 defeat. An evening full of goals and good moves for the ending of the European Championship.

Today marks thirteen years since Andrés Iniesta has debuted for Barcelona’s first team. Now, a club legend, Iniesta has started his road to stardom at only 18 against Bruges, on a cold Tuesday night. It is said that Van Gaal had only told him to: “Get out there and play”. The rest, as you know, is already history.

Hoy se cumplen 13 años desde el debut oficial de Andrés Iniesta para el primer equipo del FC Barcelona. Ahora, una auténtica leyenda del club, Iniesta empezó su camino hacia las estrellas con tan solo 18 años, contra el Brujas.  Esa noche, Van Gaal sólo le dijo que saliera y jugara. El resto… Ya lo sabemos.

As the eight-finals have come to a close, here is an overview of the entire round results, and the schedules for the upcoming quarterfinal matches, that await on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Nakon završetka runde osmine finala, sledi kratak osvrt na sve dosadašnje rezultate, te raspored  četvrtfinalnih mečeva. Uz napomenu da Srbija igra prekosutra, u prvom popodnevnom terminu, od 18:30 sati

Today marked the end of the last group stage competition day. Spain has barely won over Germany,  in a match where the host had a chance to get to extra time, using free throws. Sadly for the home fans, Dennis Schröder missed the third throw, allowing Spain to win by a point (77-76). In the B group, Serbia took the first spot, by a fifth win on the Championship, over Italy.

Nakon završena prva dva takmičarska dana na Eurobasketu, sledi kratak osvrt na stanje po grupama. Uz napomenu da grupe B i  C sutra imaju dan za odmor.  Rusija je upisala i prvi poraz na šampionatu. Srbija je pobedila Nemačku, a Španija  dokazala superiornost nad selekcijom Turske, i to najubedljivijom pobedom na dosadašnjem toku šampionata. Grčka je porazila Hrvatsku, u veoma napetom meču, dok je Slovenija savladala selekciju Gruzije. Litvanija je lako savladala Letoniju, nakon jučerašnje veoma neizvesne utakmice, na kojoj je odlučio samo jedan poen.

Sve rezultate, kao i trenutno stanje na tabeli možete pogledati ovde:

Fudbalski dresovi su izvor beskrajnog ponosa miliona, ogledalo boja tima, klupskih vrednosti, te ljudi koji ih nose. Od kada je profesionalnog fudbala, dres je mnogo više, od obične majice. Razdvajao je sportske heroje od običnog sveta, bio simbol pripadnosti, tradicije.

Uz promenu strukture, ide i standardna promena dizajna, kojom klub obeležava svoj deo tržišta. Fanovi širom sveta se mesecima unapred raduju novim garniturama, uprkos znanju da neće biti nimalo jeftine. Ipak je dres svetinja za milione. Ali uvek će se naći ekipa, koja će pristup dizajniranju opreme preneti na sasvim novi nivo. Samim tim se javljaju dresovi koji su neobični, nerazumljivi ili prosto ružni.

Ovo je lista nekih od najgorih, u istoriji modernog fudbala. Brojeva nema, tako da svoje “favorite” procenite sami.

Un día bastante lieve de noticias nos deja reflejar sobre un equipo antiguo y valorado, que no agita demasiadas portadas por su falta de fichajes de escándalo. Un equipo que hace sólo un par de días se ha ganado la Supercopa de España, de forma verdaderamente espectacular. Su primera en 31 años. Las celebraciones, dignas de una selección que se acaba de ganar un Mundial. Sólo faltaba la deseada gabarra.

La lista ya queda hecha y España tiene a sus 12 jugadores para el Campeonato Europeo de baloncesto. Sergio Scariolo hoy ha declarado quien representará a España, como parte de la Selección nacional.

The final 12 player roster for the upcoming Eurobasket was announced today. Spanish coach, Sergio Scariolo has chosen his team, that is formed by well known stars, as well as some new faces, meant to represent the future of the Spanish National Team.  The 12 chosen ones will play two matches against Macedonia and one, against the Czech Republic, as part of their final preparations for the European Basketball Championship.
