The Real Madrid Thread [2005 - 2006]

[Raikkonen]

Comparison

Barcelona sucks. Real Madrid not.

The end


you could start with Di Stefano: how Santiago Bernabeu 'stole' him from Barcelona and the consequences of that (Real Madrid success in Europe, Barcelona signing Kubala, the big rivalry in the 60s...).

Then:
- the relation of each club with Franco
- Real Madrid/Spain in opposite as Barcelona/Catalunya (the different point of views of 'nacionalism')
- The golden/dark eras of each club (i.e., La Quinta del Buitre, the Dream Team, etc)
- Players who have played in both clubs (Schuster, Laudrup, Ronaldo, Figo) and their impact. Just the important ones, not pieces of crap like Celades or Luis Enrique
- the football academies each clubs have opened around the world
- the usual BS facts about the stadiums, legends, etc

and so on...

i saw a documentary in The History Channel a couple weeks ago that would help you a lot. but i don't know what was its title it was like 'Biggest Rivalries of Soccer' or something, because they also showed Flamengo-Vasco and Boca-River.

[Moreira_Benfica]

that sucks, did you get your tickets of ebay?

 

[datboy]

no, from billettkontoret.com a Norwegian online ticket seller.

i called them 2 times and they said that the tickets was delayed, but i should have them on monday. but somehow i dont trust them anymore.

your suppose to have the tickets in your mail, 2 weeks before match date.

 

[Seven8]

hmm I received my tickets sometimes only at the city where the match was and I had to pick them up. Did you "order" with them before ?

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

Real played terribly against Betis.

 

[faceNside]

but if they don't i will miss the opportunity to see my favorite team..

Man that would suck... Good luck to you, you have to take a lot of pics for us!

 

[datboy]

hmm I received my tickets sometimes only at the city where the match was and I had to pick them up. Did you "order" with them before ?

no, this was the first time i ordered from them.

 

[datboy]

if i dont get the tickets, im thinking of going to Real Madrid - Lyon. but the only one who's interested in watching RM over here is my father. and he REFUSE to fly.

but that would be something !

 

[pullstones_jr]

we got a 15 hr drive in front of us. BUT ITS ALL WORTH IT!!!

 

[faceNside]

Congrats Datboy! They kept the thrill till the end hehe Enjoy!

 

[Raikkonen]

Congrats!!

15 hrs drive ? omg, that must hurt

does anyone have a clue about tomorrow's lineup?

so far:

Casillas
Salgado - Woody - Helguera - RC
Ramos
Beckham - Guti
Raúl - Robinho

+ Soldado? De La Red? Jurado?

 

[Socrates]

does anyone have a clue about tomorrow's lineup?

First off congrats to datboy!!!

We could play
Casillas
Salgado - Woody - Helguera - RC
Ramos
Beckham - Guti - Robinho
Raul - Saldado

But i dont see this happening, although i wish we did play this.

 

[nor-rbk]

Well, good to hear that you got your ticket datboy. But I must say you took a chance when you ordered them from billettkontoret, as I don't think they are allowed to sell them, since RBK sell their tickets trough ticketmaster/billettservice, and in Champions League you actually have to contact RBK directly. But good to hear that everything got settled. Got my ticket today too

Where are you going to sit by the way? Nedre Adressa?

 

[Seven8]

a short trip and a enjoyable time at the match - datboy

hmm no gravesen, no garcia so I guess Ramos is gonna play DM with Woody playing CB. What about Diogo is he suspended injuried or so ?

I hope the play like this

----------------Casillas-------------
Salgado-Woodgate-Helguera-R.Carlos
----------------Ramos---------------
----Beckham-----Guti-----Robinho----
--------------Raul----Soldado---------
