Wednesday in Tenerife... I Expect to see a lineup similar to that in the previous copa match, with a few faces from Real Madrid B, and Owen and Morientes up top. Pavon didn't train today (he was with the physios with a slight knock), and Samuel is just coming back from injury, so not sure who will be the centerbacks. edit: Lineup according to As Cesar Arbeloa Helguera Mejia Raul Bravo Javi Garcia Borja Celades Solari Morientes Owen
you know, i never liked guti, but as of late he's being pretty solid (well, almost...). now, where is he? tenerife are not dog food out there, no?
I've still got nightmares of this team Luckily times have changed, and now there's only the chance that they take the Copa away from us but I have a good feeling about this game.
Real hope to end jinx on 'cursed island' MADRID, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Real Madrid head to the scene of some bitter memories this week when they travel to the Canary Islands to play second division Tenerife in the King's Cup. In the early 1990s Tenerife, then in the Primera Liga, twice deprived Real of the league title by dealing them a season-ending defeat that handed first place to arch-rivals Barcelona. Now Tenerife, dubbed the "Cursed Island" for Real Madrid by newspaper Marca, are keen to see history repeated. http://sports.yahoo.com/sow/news;_y...bQ--?slug=reu-spaincup&prov=reuters&type=lgns

Cesar Arbeloa Helguera Mejia Raul Bravo JaviGarcia Borja Celades Solari Morientes Owen i worry about this game, tenerife arent like the last team we played, and we only beat them 2-0 the game is away and i think it will be very difficult mabe i am overworrying because after all the team we put out will always posses alot of quality out of interest, does a draw mean a replay, ET or pens?
I've only just heard of 2 chances for Madrid, the latter being the biggest when Morientes gave the pass to Owen who missed a dot of a chance according to Cadena Ser. Still a lot of time left for duo MorOwen And a penalty for Madrid coming up!
What a strange turn of events.....Owen misses a clear cut shot.......Moro misses a penalty.......Tenerife scores......then Madrid scores a minute later. Whew!
Things not going too well for many teams from the Primera it seems, hopefully Madrid won't be next, and pick up the pace a little in the 2nd half.
Primera teams that have gone out so far tonight: [result]Deportivo Real Sociedad Racing Levante Albacete ...and Mallorca are about to lose[/result]
60th minute Bravo kicks the ball out because Owen is lying on the floor after a hard entrance (which wasn't called) hopefully it isn't too serious.
