all set for Ecuador! 14 Aug 2013 | 07:46 pm
I don’t have time for a proper post (sorry), so here’s a very brief one on tonight’s game against Ecuador (22h). This is only the second time that Spain has faced Ecuador – the first time was a frien...
Iker Casillas – El País Confecup Q&A 1 Jul 2013 | 05:33 pm
Unsurprisingly, Iker got the question “What school did Iker Casillas go to?” right! As for the other questions and answers, here they are. What is Pelé called? Edson Arantes, I think. What is a folh...
con La Roja! 1 Jul 2013 | 05:54 am
We may have lost to Brazil (congratulations to them), but I’m still proud of my team and to support La Roja. Volveremos. P.S. As Mr. Chip pointed out, the reigning champion of the Confecup has never...

Spain will be taking on Brazil in the final of the Confecup (Monday, 00h) after beating Italy following an agonizing penalty shootout that luckily had a happy ending. Hopefully we’ll be able to pull o...
Pepe Reina – El País Confecup Q&A 30 Jun 2013 | 02:03 pm
Thank goodness that after Jordi Alba and Pedro’s slightly dry responses to the questionnaire, along comes the one and only Pepe Reina to liven things up… Pepe Reina was born in Madrid in 1982, althoug...
Pedro Rodríguez – El País Confecup Q&A 29 Jun 2013 | 06:01 pm
Pedro is the latest victim of the El País Q&A… What is Pelé called? Edson… I don’t know the rest of it. O Rei. What is a folha seca? When you strike the ball and it drops quickly. What color...
Jordi Alba – El País Confecup Q&A 28 Jun 2013 | 04:26 pm
According to Luis Martín, Jordi Alba “answers as quickly as he plays, so the questionnaire is over in a minute.” His answers are quite brief, aren’t they? What is Pelé called? He’s called O Rei, but...
all set for Italy! 27 Jun 2013 | 06:12 pm
Our opponent tonight in the semifinal of the Confecup (21h) is Italy, who is only in the tournament because we won the World Cup, and then beat them in the final of the Euro last year. Let’s do it ag...
Sergio Ramos – El País Confecup Q&A 27 Jun 2013 | 05:27 pm
Sergio Ramos apparently laughed a lot while answering these questions. Again, I’d like to make a request for videos of the interview sessions! And that thigh is awfully familiar for some of us, no? ...
snapshots from Brazil 26 Jun 2013 | 06:51 pm
It’s never boring with La Roja! From “put the ball into the trash can competitions” (Pepe said to Javi, “that one doesn’t count, you have to let the ball bounce!”)… … to Iker bullying Rober to the pre...
