Barcelona really put the goals on the first half agains Almeria. Lean, mean goal shooting machine in the early going. Almeria was promoted in the 2007-08 and had a decent showing.
In the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona smoked Basel.
Way to goool. I mean go.

La Liga so far
Going through the Spanish La Liga so far.
Promoted CD Numancia after shocking Barcelona in season opener has only managed one draw since and is dead last. CD Numanica has been promoted to La Liga first division before but only managed to stay up for one season. Time will tell. I would like to see CD Numancia make it in the first division, it will be tough.
I knew Valencia would be much better but holy cow, first place. Valencia really tumbled last season, almost in danger of being regulated but survived. Now they must be feeling pretty good.
Sevilla FC: My team is in second. Sweet. I saw them win today. I believe it was the first opportunity I have been able to see them on TV. Gol TV. Busy with our Futsal League. Hopefully Sevilla can hold on. Go Sevilla FC! I would love to see Sevilla FC win the La Liga Title.
Many said Villareal would not repeat the same success this season as last and is currently sitting in 3rd. Long season to go, but they are starting to roll again.
Barcelona in 4th: Fans only expect the best. They want to be number one in the La Liga and UEFA Champions League. That is the right goal. Now the players need to be hungry as well for the top spot otherwise, the fans will get very restless. By the way, Barcelona wants a MLS Team in Miami. Stay tuned to see if that happens. It would be sweet.
Real Madrid in 5th: I thought this would happened last season with the new coach and some new younger players. They proved me wrong and won the La Liga Title last Season. Time will tell if they can poor it on and win it for the 3rd straight time. They fell behind early two seasons ago and caught right up and won the title.
Almeria in 6th: Some said they would not last in La Liga's 1st division. Some picked them to end up on the bottom and be regulated. They finish pretty decent last season and this season, they are smiling in the 6th spot.
Malaga: Nice start in the 1st Division in La Liga. Sitting in 7th.
Real Betis: Having a pretty bad season so far. Finally out of the cellar. Need to get cracking if they wish to stay in 1st Division.
Athletic Balbao: Not doing nearly as well as last season. They had a decent finish last season. 11th which is good for them. Currently they are sitting in 17th place. One spot away in the regulation zone.
Anyway. Season is young. Many changes can take place. I love La Liga!

spoke too soon. Hamburg back on top in Bundesliga
Well, Hoffenheim was in first for a day. With the games today Hamburg is back on top.
I would like to see Hoffenheim do something this season. It would be a great story. Read my yesterdays blog for more details. Hoffenheim was in Regionalliga Sud in 2006-07. Bundesliga 2nd Division 2007-08 and was promoted once again to Bundesliga 1st Division. Hoffenheim is putting some money into the club the past few years. Inquiring some good players to build their program up. Like a comment in my blog (oleole.com) said, go Hoffenheim.

Big Games in the World of Soccer
What a barn burner between Atletico Madrid vs. Real Madrid. Real Madrid scoring the last moment to win this Derby. I believe it was a penalty kick.
Monterrey vs. Tigres: Monterrey was winning 1-0 next thing I know, Tigres score 4 fast goals. Monterrey fans must be upset losing so badly so quickly after having a lead most of the game.
Indios vs. America: well what has happen to CD America. On the bottom losing to a team that was promoted up this season. I had to mentioned this game.
Boca Jr. vs. River Plate: Super Clasico. Boca Juniors wins. One of my favorite teams I noticed I do not blog much of anything about them. I will have to change that.
I believe next weekend it is CD Chivas Guadalajara vs. CD America. The Burrito challenge. A friend of mine is a huge America fan and I am really a CD Chivas USA fan but the big game is against CD Chivas Guadalajara. If America wins, I buy him a breakfast burrito and if CD Chivas Guadalajara wins, he buys me a breakfast burrito. We are both skinny, we can afford it.
