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!
