week 11 & 12 of la liga

barca score 6 goals in 2 games against teams from the madrid area. first, they look scary good against getafe scoring some really nice goals. but the getafe goal was even better so good for them. and i am disturbed to think that motta might be taking hair tips from ronaldinho. but honestly, ronaldinho can do what he wants with his hair if he shows us spectacular play like he did against real madrid. even the madrid fans were standing & applauding. and how could they not? he ripped their midfield & defense apart. casillas couldn't even muster the energy to yell at his defense but he really should have - once again, casillas seemed to be the only one there.
poor madrid. raul was badly hurt in that loss as well. and no one cared that they managed a very unconvincing 1-0 win the week before.
week 11 gave us a basque derby which was full of cuties.... i was completely mesmerized when osasuna had a freekick and the real sociedad wall was unbelievably hot. the seville derby, the following week, was hot in an entirely different way. no love lost here. these fans were crazed to say the least. tackles everywhere, handbags thrown, and the sevilla boy who scored the winner rips off his shirt to celebrate. excellent. oh, except for the fact that he gets a second yellow later in the game and is sent off. doh.
stupidest. rule. evah.
and the surfer boys of spain, valencia, win one, lose one. i wish vincente would lose that stupid tail... what year is it anyway? that's not a hairstyle - it's a crime against nature. even refs know that - in the game against villareal, one of the yellow submarine boys got yellowed for a dive when he was looking for a freekick. his hair was awful so i bet the ref took one look at him and thought "ugh! yellow for bad hair!". vincente is lucky he didn't turn to him and card him for the same reason. i saw the fear in his eyes.
