Imo i will always remember Real Madrid games vs Alcorcon for the Last 16 of the Spanish cup, loosing 4-0 versus a team from the second division was a huge blow

If Mourinho can bring in some high class defenders to Real then they will sweep every title next season.

pepe, albiol, ramos, alberloa are not high class defenders?
i think left back is the only real defeciency but arbeloa actually made a very solid performance in there too

With RM it has never been about the quality of the players. Sometimes it was a lack of spirit. A bad defense not in the meaning of bad players but just bad execution from the whole team when being defensive..

But with mourinho this might exactly be a thing that changes

Im excited

two top coachs two top teams with the best players

top notch stuff

Marcelo is already one of the best left backs there is. The problem is when Ramos has to play central, he is a right back.

Mourinho said he wants to get Ramos to play as a CB instead of a RB and get another LB.

I don't remember who told me this but I thought it was pretty funny that an ex RM manager wanted to buy Pepe for a mere 3M$ but the RM directors didn't think Pepe was galactico enough to sell shirts then a few years later they pay 30M$ for him.

While I do watch Real Madrid games I don't pay much attention to positions, but I believe Marcelo hasnt been played as a leftback since Pellegrini came to RM. imo Marcelo sucks as a left back or rather, he his bad at defending. Now when he's been played further up the pitch in a mostly attacking position and the only defending he does is more in a support role then he is good.

wtf Ramos as CB? Mourinho is insane. o.O I thought Mourinho said he wanted to play attractive Real Madrid style football?

Imo Ramos and Marcelo are awesome wing backs.

Pellegrini always put Marcelo as left back except when he had enough fit defenders to give him a chance as winger. I guess his defensive skills arent as good as his offensive ones. But Marcelo himself favours left back more.

Marcelo definitely reminds me of R.Carlos.

I really don't think MU can sell Rooney because next season they would need to depend on OG's even more

Maybe Mourinho gets Maicon for RM next season? I think Maicon is one of the best RB's both in going foward and defending he's so strong and beastly.

At 7.30 (03:30 KST), so just over an hour is a charity football match "England vs World XI" starring both celebrities and former footballers like Figo and Zidane!

Marcelo is awesome in dribbling, he outplays any defender, but his defence is really horrible. And Arbeloa made key mistakes this season, like Lyon goal at Bernabeu kicking RM out of CL. RM needs a LB.

About RM signing Rooney or another striker, I don't think so. One of Barça's pre - candidates (they have elections this summer) stated that he had Rooney and offered it to the club, but was rejected because of the Villa bid being almost done. So, maybe it's true that Rooney wants to go out.
I've been around since it all started, and it feels good

The Legends at least are:

For England:
David Seamann
Martin Keown
Jamie Redknapp
Alan Shearer
Teddy Sherringham

For Rest of World:
Lehmann
Henrik Larsson
Hyypia
Zidane
Giggs

Can only have 6 legends on at one time I think
The rest for England are pretty poor celebrities
Whilst RoW have like Mike Myers, Gordon Ramsey

Zidane vs anyone is already horribly imbalanced.

And then they even have Larsson, Lehmann and Hyypia?

rofl Robbie Williams stopped Luis Figo!

Hahaha, English commentators: "Luis figo shooting zidane on his back, knowing Zidane this probably was a pass"
