Football & music = love

After a lovely weekend at a very cool touristic complex in Bran, I am back home in time for my fav footie team's match. Since the rights for La Liga belong to Boom TV, the crappiest digital TV provider, who I hope will go bankrupt and make a good deed for humanity by giving up the rights for Spain's and Italy's championships, I had to follow it on livescore.com . Good news, they won 1-0 at home with Murcia after Wesley Sneijder's n-th goal this season. I think he is the best player they bought this summer. Scores from any position, gives brilliant passes and is very fast. Metzelder, Pepe, Heinze and Saviola are all kinda crap and Drenthe and Robben have been rather mediocre, so he's by far the one who was worth the money.
And now they're 9 points clear of Barcelona who drew away 2-2 with Recreativo Huelva. Speaking of Barca, how can a goalkeeper like Victor Valdes be considered a good keeper? He's a disaster, just look at Recre's last goal! DISASTER! And I'm not saying cos I hate Barca, it's because Valdes is simpy the crappiest Spanish keeper who has played for the national team. They are very lucky to still be in Champions League, thanks to their cakewalk draws. Hpefully, Manchester Utd. will do everyone a favour and put them in their misery. I admit Real were an embarrassment to football in their confrontation with Roma, but they are more than decent in La Liga. So I hope for a 2nd title in a row for them, as well as a Liverpool-Man Utd. final of UCL.

And now to the 2nd part of this entry: music! Of course, it is about Werchter :)). The full line-up has been announced and here it is: (in alphabetical order, the ones in bold are most important)
