Sevilla - Betis. Historic 5-1 to humiliate the white and green squad!

You can watch the highlights of this historic game in this video by Jesús-Creations. This could have been the most embarrassing derby for the other team of the Andalusian city if any of the multiple occasions in the first half would have ended in goal.
Enjoy!

Sevilla F.C. 5 - Real Betis B. 1

Obama is white!

To celebrate election day, what better than doing it with a smile in your face. Chris Rock tells a shocking "truth" about Obama on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Our president is white!

Priceless!

I missed the celebration...

...of my own blog 10,000 visitor! Whoever he or she may be, thanks for reading my "training spot", as I used to call it. It is estrange how so many people has someway or another come to read something that you have written without an intended audience. It is a completely different feeling from knowing how many people have read one of your articles because you are writing for that specific group interested in the topic you are writing about, and with whom you are trying to establish a dialectics. In this blog, the last part, at least in my case, is missing in my intention. I would love it, if I have managed to create some conversation, don't get me wrong, but I believe a blog like this can only answer to some hidden narcissist agenda of pretending that somebody in the cyberspace is going to care even though I pretend not to.
Oh well...

Dexter. New season.

Season 7 from our favorite serial killer is days away from opening. September 30 is the chosen day. For those of you who have not had the chance of seeing the 2 minutes teaser for the next season. Here you are. Enjoy!

Just one thing! There is a possible spoiler (less than a second, a few photograms perhaps), but to be honest I doubt this "thing" is going to happen for real.

SEVILLA FC 1 - REAL MADRID 0

Very early the German midfielder Piotr Trochoswki scored the first and only goal of the game, finishing a strategy play practiced during the week at Seville's "Ciudad Deportiva". Sixty eight seconds, the fastest goal this year in La Liga. What followed was more than ninety minutes of serious work from the Sevillian squad or, depending on how you look at it, Madrilian impotence.
Cristiano's team was impregnated with the Portuguese star's "sadness". It never gave the impression that it could  overcome Michel's team. Sevilla's coach sure  knows the team whose shirt defended for so long, and today he proved himself to be able to make Sevilla FC a serious candidate to fight for the Champions League again.

Why some Americans will love to move to Iran right away!

If you want to find out, read this post published recently. Priceless!

What teams will play the Eurocup final?

Spain is in. What is your guess for the second team? Italy or Germany? Germany is the safe bet, but nobody gave a ice cube chance in hell for the azzurri at the beginning of the tournament and they got to the semifinals...

What if Italy does not win today?

After a long vacation break, I'm back. The Eurocup 2012 is on, and today, everybody seems to be worry about a potential pact between Spain and Croatia (2-2) that will qualify both teams, and leave Italy out of the quarter final. Ireland is one of the weakest teams of the tournament, but the fact that they are in the Eurocup is a big enough reason not to forget that the Irish can still beat Italy. For some reason, everybody take for granted an Italian victory... we'll see!

Protests against (Real Madrid and Barcelona) favoritisms in La Liga

This video is in Spanish, but if you are a soccer fan and want to see what's going on in La Liga, and why Real Madrid and Barcelona are always ahead of the rest of the teams, you should check out the following video: Tennis Balls protests in Sevilla-Levante's game.

This game was delayed half an hour just because Mourinho and Guardiola had a press conference  after the game! Sevilla and Levante had to start the game at 10:30 at night on a Sunday. Therefore, the fans who had to get up early for work on Monday, kids, etc. most likely had to miss the game, all for the sake of a bunch of questions and answers that, except for the hardcore Real Madrid and Barcelona fans, nobody is interested in, or sure could listen to them at any other time. This is what makes Real Madrid and Barcelona ruin what is considered the "best soccer league in the world".

It would have been great...

...but Athletic played better than Sevilla FC. The game could have gone to either side, but in the 47th minute Fernando Llorente headed a perfect cross from the right to beat Palop. Winning would have meant to Sevilla FC getting  close enough to the Champions League positions, and coming from a four wins strike, the best team of southern Spain would have been unstoppable. Today, Sunday, Champions League positions are six points away, and Europa League one. Tomorrow, the Champions League may be farther away depending on what Malaga does against Racing. I like Malaga, but tomorrow I'm all for Racing!

The new 007's villain is Javier Bardem

Even thought I have seen most films on the James Bond's series, I have never been excited about any of their releases. Skyfall will be released in November, with Daniel Craig playing Bond for the third time. Together with him, we will enjoy Javier Bardem as the leading villain, and other actors and actresses of contrasted quality such as Ralph Fiennes, Judi Dent, or Albert Finney among others. Sam Mendes will direct, what makes him the first Oscar-winning director to ever make a James Bond's film. I will definitely go to see this one! Bardem is too good as a villain!

What was the song at the end of The Walking Dead "Nebraska" episode?

For those of you desperate to know, it was The Regulator by Clutch. If there is something that I really like about good shows like The Walking Dead is the great music they bring along! This time it was Clutch, a band that I used to love in the nineties, but that, for some reason, I lost track of them in last decade. They have evolved towards towards a more blues and hard rock style, leaving aside the heavy metal/hardcore punk flavor of their first albums.
Here is a link to The Regulator in case you want to hear the whole song:

And another one of a live performance:

Enjoy!

Judge Garzon

For those of you not familiar with this name, Judge Baltazar Garzón is a Spanish judge who dared to try to bring to justice the crimes committed during the dictatorship that desolated Spain for almost 40 years between 1939 and 1975. Some of you might know him as the judge who prosecuted Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet.
Well, today, Judge Garzón has been condemned. He will be suspended of his functions for the next 11 years, and also expelled from the Spanish judiciary system, therefore the dictatorship crimes will remain umpunished. Why? The Spanish Supreme Court found Garzón guilty of violating lawyer-client priviledges by recording conversations between detained suspects and their lawyers, while investigating a case of corruption in politicians associated to the ruling political party in Spain. 
I don't know enough about this accusation to pronounce myself about it, but many agree in Spain that the sentence has an ulterior motive . The Spanish de facto powers were clearly afraid of Judge Garzón and how far he could get investigating the dictatorship crimes.  Therefore, the easy way was stopping Garzón before he could get too far. The last opportunity to punish the Francoist regime seems to evaporate. They won. Sad but true Spain is different.

Michel: New coach for Sevilla F.C.

The ex-Real Madrid player, Michel, is the new coach for Sevilla after Marcelino's destitution. Unfortunately, Marcelino has not been able to make the midfield work in the best team of all time in the south of Spain. That, together with the strikers attrocious streak (two points in the last seven games!) has turned into the Asturian coach being fired. Michel would have not been my first election, but he knows very well two key players in the roaster: Manu del Moral and Alvaro Negredo. If these two start playing as they know, I don't doubt that Sevilla will be playing the Champions League next year again. The best of luck for Michel!

Steven Colbert must publish the book!

Two thousand two hundred and ninety one! This is the number of visits that my blog registered in the last 24 hours. I happened to have my smartphone handy when Steven Colbert showed his fictitious children book "I'm a pole (and so can you)" during his must-see interview with Maurice Sendak. At that moment, I searched to see if that book really existed, but obviously it didn't. Then, I  had the idea of publishing the previous post just to see how many people would do the same that I did after watching the show. I guess a lot of people did follow my silly idea, didn't they? Now, we all should ask Steven Colbert to go ahead and publish the damn book!
At least 2,291 are waiting for it.

By the way, if you want to see the interview again here are the links:

Grim Colberty Tales with Maurice Sendak Part. 1
Grim Colberty Tales with Maurice Sendak Part  2

I'm a pole (and so can you). Steven Colbert.

This book does not exist. This is just an experiment to see how many people end up here looking for it!

New series: Singular words

I have always been interested in words. Words are part of everybody's character and define how you are seen in different situations when you use them according to your persona at the moment. Yes, all of us have different personas in different scenarios such as the workplace, the bar, the school, etc.
In any case, the word that I have selected to start this series is: horologe.

Horologe, according to the Webster's dictionary, is a timekeeping device. What made me admire this word is that finally I found an explanation for the origin of the Spanish word "reloj" (watch). Both come from the greek horologion, in which we can easily see hour/hora too.

Not bad for a lousy blogger!

I just realized that the blog surppased 1,000 visits! Obviously, this is nothing if we compare it to one of my favorite blogs, the one of my friend Clarissa, which had a record of 5,330 visits in a single day, but it is more than I thought I could have at this point!
Congratulations to me!

Happy New Year 2012!

I guess this is what you do when you use Twitter, don't you? In any case Happy New Year 2012!
