Real Madrid vs Granada

-
There was a game today between Real Madrid and Granada. I  was supporting Granada because I am not a big fan of Madrid. Real Madrid was really disappointing today with the way they played. Mikel Rico played extremely well today. A goal came in the 22nd minute. It was a player that scores often for his team. Cristiano Ronaldo scores what would turn it to be the games only goal. He scored, except it was at the wrong end of the  field. He scored an own goal. Nolito whipped in a great corner kick, which was also too good for Ronaldo, who headed home to beat his own keeper. That was his first own goal of his professional career. After that, Real Madrid played very badly. They didn't have any ideas or a player that could play  killer ball. They  usually have Ozil, but today he wasn't available. Almost everyone in the Madrid  today weren't themselves today. The biggest ones were Ronaldo and Di Maria. Varane again had a great game in defense. He was the best player on  field in the Classico, and it can be argued he had an even better game today. He is only 19, and I think in the future, he will be one of the best defenders in the world. For me, the best player on the field today was Mike Rico, as I had mentioned . Granada's defense was rock solid today, as was  counter attacking. Nolito, the debutant was also pretty good. The sub, Diego Buonanotte had a good debut as well.He is the shortest player in  la liga, but e is very very good. Overall, Granada was the better team. If Bates win tomorrow, Madrid well be 18 behind them. For Granada, this victory takes them out of the relegation zone.

Messi Mania

-
It took Lionel Messi 28 years to get around to playing a competitive game in the U.S. It was worth waiting for. After sitting out Argentina’s first game in the Copa America Centenario, Messi entered the second match, against Panama, as a second-half substitute, then scored three goals and assisted on a fourth in just 29 minutes. In less than half an hour, Messi was tied for the tournament lead in scoring and had taken his team through to the quarterfinals. Entering Monday’s games, seven of the 16 teams in the tournament hadn’t scored as much. All of which raises one big question heading into the final day of group play Tuesday: What will Messi do for an encore when Argentina, the world’s top-ranked team, plays win-less Bolivia, at No. 82 the lowest-rated team in the tournament.  If you believe Messi, there’s a lot of room to improve after he sat out two weeks with a bruised back. But Messi has a lot more to accomplish than simply getting his groove back...

Argentina vs. Bosnia - Day 4

-
Yesterday was an a great day in the World Cup. All the teams I wanted to win won. Switzerland got a stoppage time winner to make it 2-1, and France won 3-0 comfortably. Goal line technology was used for the first ever time in World Cup history on the own goal. There was a lot of controversy with that goal as to whether it should be an own goal or Benzema's goal. Eventually, he got 2 goals, but in  my opinion, he should have had a hat trick because of that goal. The game I want to talk about is the Argentina and Bosnia game. I want Argentina to go all the way. Sabella started with a 5-3-2 formation. Argentina will not win if they keep playing with this formation. It takes Messi out of the game completely. Messi was terrible in the first half. In the second half, Sabella brought on Gago and Higuain. They changed to a 4-3-3 formation, which brought Messi into the game a lot more. He scored a magical goal to seal the points for Argentina after a own goal 3 minutes in from a Messi freek...

Decline of Spain

-
The decline of the Spanish empire has been one of the most shocking events of this legendary World Cup. 2 years ago, after their Euros win against Italy, they were speculated to be the best international team in the history of the beautiful game. Even a year ago, they got to the Confederations Cup final, where they got easily beaten by Brazil 3-0. That may have been a sign for the whole planet, bu t no one took it seriously. The Barcelona players of Spain had an average season based on their very high standard. This may have been a big blow on their confidence and team spirit. The Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid players of the Spanish team ended their season late because of the Champions League Final. The final was May 24, which was just 13 days from the start of the World Cup. I don't think the team had enough time to get together and recover from the long season that preceded it. Along with those issues, they had some problems with the team selection. I don't know why Del Bos...
