about Real Madrid C.F

Real Madrid Club de Fútbol (also known as Los Putos Blancos (LPB), The Evil Empire (EE) is a professional football club based in Madrid, Spain. Currently 1st in La Liga with 28 points.

In 1943, in a match against Real Madrid, which Madrid won 11:1, the Barcelona players were threatened by the police in their changing room. Examples such as these show the important role that FC Barcelona has played in the lives of its supporters and the rivalry that has existed (still exists?) between Barca and other Spanish clubs, and not only in terms of sporting matters.

On 27 October 2009, Alcorcón secured the most famous victory in its history, as it defeated first division powerhouse Real Madrid 4 – 0 at home, in the first leg of its round of 32 match in the Spanish King's Cup. In the club's first ever official match against a team from the top flight, its opponent fielded nine international players in its starting eleven, lining up Jerzy Dudek, Álvaro Arbeloa, Raúl Albiol, Christoph Metzelder, Royston Drenthe, Mahamadou Diarra, Guti, Esteban Granero, Raúl, Rafael van der Vaart and Karim Benzema, with Ruud van Nistelrooy, Fernando Gago and Marcelo all appearing in the second half. On 10 November, in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabéu, the club lost 1–0, but won 4–1 on aggregate, thereby going through to the next round.

Scoring Times

Well, it is becoming a tradition for me to make these silly mistakes in every clásico thread

This time around I'll blame on the time-zone change, I am not using my laptop as I didn't take it with me overseas ...

I changed the OP. Didn't want to, but I did.

Lemme know if you want me to just remove that line altogether.

I say we just remove that line. It won't last long, anyway.

So kickoff for this is actually 1PM EST, right?

Time to send them back where they belong (2nd place behind us).

They gotta be. It's time to unleash the Master Blaster.

Anybody? GolTV coverage starts at 12PM, but I'm wondering when actual kickoff is in EST?

1pm est.

Thank you

Wasn't there a picture of Messi up on Ibra's shoulders or did I imagine it?
