Xavi doesn’t look like your traditional athlete, Elliot Turner writes, but that doesn’t make him any less of one. Sounds familiar, no?

The passing of a La Roja Legend… Chus Pereda:
Remebering Chus, a legendary FC Barcelona midfielder for 8 seasons, who played a part in the history of Spanish football when he played for the first La Roja team to win a UEFA Euro Championship in 1964, passed away yesterday at the age of 73.
“He is one of the reasons for the success that La Seleccion is today,” says Del Bosque, “He was a great player, continued to remain very close to La Seleccion, and he is part of the history and success of Spanish football. He had a great appreciation for the sport. As a person, he was a great guy, very loving, very affectionate, he was always very aware of us and always very close to the team.”
May he rest in peace.

“We talk , we talk a lot, Íker and I. We do. And not now because of that Barça-Madrid fight. No, no. We have talked all our lives, our friendship is at least 15 years strong, since we met at the Sub-17. We put our friendship before everything else.” - Xavi Hernandez, on his relationship with Iker Casillas.
Spain Vs Chile Fight Between Players … what a bad end of the game :-(
This shows how: Arbeloa, Busquets and Ramos are the usual hotheads who can’t calm down for shit.Especially Arbeloa who started the whole thing when Iniesta was simply confronting the opponent (not fucking shoving him).
Pepe was awesome trying to break up the argument (and even pulling Casillas firmly away at the end though you can’t see it here); Pedro and Nando too were pretty cool, trying to calm down the Chilean players even though the Chileans shoved them around a bit.
my creys~ everyone standing up for everyone (even if it IS a pretty shitty ending)
also—- SANTI AND RAMOS GOING OUT OF THEIR WAY TO SHAKE *EVERY* CHILEAN PLAYER’S HAND. somebody hold me—
