After all the hard work and almost two decades with winning the Copa del Rey, Real won their first trophy of the year. But not all was fun in regards to the celebrations, Sergio Ramos dropped the cup (which by the way is a brand new cup since the last one was kept by Athletic de Bilbao) and the bus ran over it. Ramos is often seen as a retard who people believe to be a Gallego (people from region of Galicia, who are often portrayed as dumb) instead of an Andaluz (people from Andalucia ). Here is the video:
In Spain they are making a joke that reads something like this:
"Real will destroy you! Sincerely, The Cup"
What do you think about Ramos?
Cheers lads!

Real Champions of La Copa del Rey
It's with deep sadness that I have to say "Congratulations to Real". They won and there isn't much to say, people may argue the way they played was very disappointing but in all reality, whoever scores more goals wins and they did it. I've heard and read lots of excuses by people that call themselves Barça fans but are nothing close to be one, you have to be modest when you win but also, when you lose, you need to admit defeat.
I guess the only good thing about this lost is that we will have 2 more Barça vs Real matches, this time at the Supercopa Española over the summer. So you see, even in hard times we find hope, hope for revenge that it ;)
One more time congratulations to Real and their fans (whether you are just a wanker or a real die hard fan). See you next week, and the one after!
(Special congrats to my bro Eddie, my best friend Dela and my exroomie and partner in crime Ricardo cuz they give me hours and hours of fun arguments and discussions about Barcelona vs Real)

Barcelona vs Real Madrid Copa del Rey Finals History
Catalanes and "Merengues" have faced each other in five Copa del Rey finals (1936, 1968, 1974, 1983 and 1990) with a total of three Barça wins and two for Real Madrid.
The first occurred in 1936, less than a month previous to the Civil War, with victory for Real Madrid by 2-1, the match was played in Valencia, precisely where to today's game will be played (not the same field has the stadium was used for the Civil War and pretty much destroyed)
The second final (remembered as "bottles") in 1968 played in Madrid, ended with a tremendous controversy. With the disadvantage on the scoreboard, Madrid was trying to score to tie and two plays that were not called as penalties for them; this made fans at the Bernabeu pretty angry. The famous glass bottles started being thrown from the stands. Barça won, including a total scandal. Interestingly enough, from that date on, the Bernabeu banned the sale of drinks in glass containers.
The third final between the two in 1974, avenged Madrid from the 0-5 Barcelona gave them the same year in the league. The merengues won the Cup final 4-0 at the Vicente Calderon stadium (in Madrid, Atletico's home). At this point the Spanish Football Federation did not allowed foreigners to play the Cup and Barcelona played without Johan Cruyff who was the architect of the win in the league.
The fourth final Barça-Madrid in the Copa del Rey was held in June 1983, the stage was the Romareda in Zaragoza. A goal from Marcos Alonso at the last minute gave the victory to Barça (2-1), the german Bernard Schuster (who also played for Real Madrid and Pumas from Mexico) celebrated in front of the Real fans making a movement with his arm that means "Fuck you" that made history. In that final, the greatest player ever, Diego Armando Maradona played for Barcelona and that despite the hard tackles from Camacho and Bonet was the key player of the Catalan victory on that occasion.
The fifth final between the two Spanish giants took place in April 5, 1990. Barcelona beat Real Madrid 2-0 in the Luis Casanova Stadium in Valencia. The Catalans took the victory with goals from Amor and Julio Salinas. That day the blaugrana superiority was clear, a red card to Fernando Hierro made things easier for Laudrup (Danish) to lead his team to the victory.

Now, lets wait and see what happens in today's match. Regardless of the team of your preference, enjoy the game, have some drinks and remember that "Sports are divided in two types: 1- Football. 2- The rest."

Epic Fail by ESPN @ El Clasico broadcast!
Someone should get fired after this HUGE mistake, if you don't know about football (soccer) you shouldn't work at the live broadcast of one of the most anticipated games of the year!
I have to admit that I would have loved to see "Fenomeno" Ronaldo against Messi (both at their highest level) but that is just a dream, this was just an EPIC FAIL by ESPN!
