Falcao just added Bale, Isco and Khedira to his instagram. Rumours that he may be Chamartín bound.

Don't hate on the best team in Europe.

I wish I could be there. I saw them in Philly a few years ago and it was awesome.

I am most definitely NOT an Arsenal fan. It's even more depressing: I'm a Leeds fan. So really, all I have left is free floating hate towards everyone. But in a match like this, I cheer for the underdog.

Real was a billion times better, but they pulled four players at the half, Roma pulled none, and Totti decided to put forth marginal effort for five minutes, giving Roma a goal. Before then, I'm not even sure they had a shot. They rarely made it near the attacking third in the first half.

I had field level seats, giving me a great view for when everyone decided to start charging the field. I joked with the cop that he should shoot one pitch invader, and the rest would fall into line. He declined. Fun game, and you really appreciate the talent level and ball skills when you're that close. Even routine plays look awesome.

Fabio Coentrao was seen in Barajas yesterday. He´s not hurt.

I guess someone´s buying him.

I think Benzema signed a three year deal with high wages (saw it in the transfer thread I think).

Guess this could end the dream of Falcao or they could go with the current transfer policy of why not both?

Keylor Navas will be official on the 4th of August.

It was supposed to be the 1st, but they still haven´t consummated an Iker or Diego López deal (which facilitates Navas´s entry).

I don't think it was ever an either/or thing unless Real Madrid wants to roll with one out and out striker with top-flight experience

Hey Dandy, one of my good friends is in Spain right now. Do you have any must see places or things to do?

I apologize for not using accents. They are not on my keyboard.

He is Granada at the moment. I think he plans to go Madrid and Barcelona (he has a friend in Madrid).

Based on his current location, I suggested he should go to Seville. Any advice is helpful. He obviously loves it in Spain and everything about the culture and the people.

I need help deciding on what deciding RM stuff to get. I am thinking at least a T-shirt. Maybe get something with Modric's name on it or Di Maria, Bale, Benzema, Kroos, James, Carvajal, etc.

All destinations you mention sound find to me. If he is in Madrid, and has time, he should see Segovia (it´s not too far away, and is a beautiful city famous for the Roman aqueduct and a castle/armory which looks like the famous Walt Disney castle (or the Disney castle looks like this, whatever).

Can´t help you with the RM stuff, that´s pretty personal (deciding whom).

seville is fricking awesome and some cheap places to stay too. i stayed here. i'm not a fan of hostels, but that was a very nice hotel. biggest room i had out of any hotel i stayed at in europe, free breakfast, great location. the alcazar is fantastic, the sevilla cathedral/giralda tower is magnificent, and the plaza de espana is beautiful. cheap tapas (el rinconcillo was my personal favorite), cheap wine/tinto de verano, cheap super freezing cruzcampo . loved seville.

Thanks. I will definitely mention Segovia.

I enjoyed watching Modric a ton, so I would lean towards him if there is a player name on anything or maybe James or both.

I already have two Ronaldo jerseys (including the bad arse white ones with gold lettering and trim from 2012) thanks to eBay deals and a black Xabi Alonso that I found really cheap.

He is in college and will be pretty much on his own for the second half of the trip, so I would guess a hostel may be an option.

Yeah, my parents said their favorite city is Seville. I definitely have to make there some day. My top city is Kyoto.

Thanks for the suggestions. I should go to Europe at some point.
