CaptainCharisma

Real Madrid

Marcelo Garay Carvalho Ramos
Casillas

Iker saved an early penalty and the rebound from Badstuber, still in great form! more fine saves from Ribery and Klose, Klose can only shake his head

Casillas stops 2 penalties as Real Madrid beats Bayern Munich 4-2 in shootout

By The Associated Press (CP) – 1 hour ago

MUNICH — Goalkeeper Iker Casillas stopped two penalty kicks, leading Real Madrid past Bayern Munich 4-2 in a shootout to win the Franz Beckenbauer Cup.

Hamit Altintop and Edson Braafheid missed their shots after Friday's game ended in a 0-0 draw in regulation.

The exhibition was an official farewell game for Beckenbauer, the German soccer great who never received a proper sendoff when he left Bayern for the Cosmos 33 years ago.

Benzema must start racking up goals this season. CR7 and Pipita cannot do it alone. With the addition of Pedro Leon and Di Maria, we now have 3 wingers compared to just 1 last season. Canales can certainly fill up Kaka's position while he's injured. Hopefully either Lass or Khedira can link up well with Xabi in midfield. And it's always a good thing adding a veteran CB like Carvalho.

CaptainCharisma

where's the forgotten man Diarra? Mahmadou that is

yeah this season's squad looks more complete, could have used a veteran striker though, I think Raul will be missed

hitler08

oo nga 2 lang kasi yung strikers nila, higuain at benzema. i prefer ronaldo to be a winger than a striker.

Come on Benzema, step up naman!

hooney

wala ako ka malay malay na nasa Real Madrid na pala si Angel Di Maria hehehe

granadinho

kamukha ni angel di maria si slumdog millionaire

hooney

^ haha tumpak naisip ko na rin yan eh

koplaska

ang laki pala ng tenga ni di maria. hindi pa ata tapos magshopping si jose. pati si oezil kinukuha narin niya. next season na dapat yan. 3 na attacking midfielders (kaka, canales, vdv). mababangko lang yan.

munchy08

It seems like Oezil is on his way to Madrid. Hmm I wonder how JM will shuffle his players. Although I like his signings this summer. Youngsters to become the next generation stars in the Bernabeu.

CaptainCharisma

first he takes United's famous #7 shirt



ta-da, bye Raul, that boy Ronaldo

munchy08

^^ luckily RM is selling women's sizes at their website! time to grab one for me!

Interesting lineup in the friendly game against Standard Liege.

4-2-2-2/4-4-2: Casillas - Arbeloa, Albiol, Ramos, Drenthe - Granero, [email protected], Lass, van der Vaart - Benzema, Higuain

JM experimenting on partnering Higuain with Benz. It's like a prove yourselves formation specially to the 4 midfielders and drenthe.

hitler08

it's official. Mesut Ozil joins Madrid. This is a rushed buy. Although I like how Ozil plays, masyado ng overcrowded ang midfield. 4 na tuloy ang magaagawan sa Attacking midfielder slot (Kaka, Canales, VDV, Ozil). Next yr na lang sana nila kinuha to. I'm sure merong ibebenta ang Madrid before the transfer window ends. Huwag lang sana si VDV.

hitler08

RM's new signings: carvalho, di maria, canales, pedro leon, khedira, ozil. puro mga bata. si carvalho lang naiba sa kanila. mukhang counter attacking football ang idedevelop ni Mourinho this season.

CaptainCharisma

but si VDV ang most likely to go, matagal na yang primed to be sold, pero injured si Kaka kaya he'll probably stay until the next transfer window

crowded na ang midfield

Ronaldo, Di Maria, Pedro Leon, Kaka, Ozil, Canales, VDV, Alonso, Khedira, Young Diarra, Old Diarra, Granero

munchy08

No we don't need to sell VDV! He's one of those players with a never say die attitude. I mean look at him last season. At the pre season he wasn't given a number and looks to be heading out of the Bernabeu. Yet he managed to fight for a place and played well when Kaka was injured. If we're going to sell someone, sell [email protected] instead. He's the least experienced from all our CDMs.

CaptainCharisma

just imagine if Real didn't sell Robben and Sneijder, together with VDV may identity sana ang midfield like Barca's Spanish armada

and yeah I forgot about [email protected], grabe hoarding na ng midfielders

CaptainCharisma

does Jose hate forwards? the team only has two forwards, Higuain and Benzema, if one goes down, no back ups? so Ronnie is now a full-time forward?
