Quakes vs RSL

2008-09-21T20:16:00.001-07:00

The San Jose Earthquakes can move into a playoff run with a win against Real Salt Lake. The Quakes will probably still be without Ramiro Corrales, who has about three more weeks until he will return, and they have not gotten any word on Ronnie' O Brien's injured ankle. They also have no word on defender Nick Garcia injury in his leg. The Quakes have had the weekend off so they have an advantage as RSL lost this week 1-0 against Chivas Usa. I would love to see the Quakes play like this.

Madrid have more trouble

2008-09-21T18:23:00.000-07:00

Guti has been added to Real Madrid's big injury list. He had to be subbed in the second half of Madrid's win because of what seemed to be a muscle strain. He has joined Fernando Gago, who got hurt against BATE and also he has joined Wesley Sneijder, who is still about a few weeks away from returning from his cruciate knee ligament injury.

Barcelona vs Sporting Gijon - Who would think?

2008-09-21T18:10:00.000-07:00

Who would think that Barcelona would thrash Gijon away ?! Well, they did. Well, so I'll give my match report here. There was 2 yellows and 1 red in total the entire match. They all were from Gijon players! The first goal came in the 27th minute when Iniesta crossed one in to a sliding Xavi Hernandez who scored! The rest you could tell that Barca had the match :D.
Etoo then scored in the 33rd minute and a few minutes later Jorge Garcia headed into his own net! Just one minute later, Maldonado scored for Gijon that saw them only losing by 2! Iniesta would score once in the 70th and Messi would score twice. Once in the 85th minute and added Barca's sixth in the 90th minute.

Makukula is back to the squad, while it will be the first time that Miguel Vitor has been called up all season.
