In all my Premier League games, I have never come up against anybody as good as Xavi. Normally you might try to get an arm up, get close, but it just didn’t matter. I couldn’t get near him. The only consolation is that it was a fantastic experience.

Every fan girl’s weakness…
My best Spanish player - Luis Aragones
Let’s pay our respects to David Villa. He has become the first Spaniard to score 50 international goals. His scoring rate is viciously fast. And what’s more, he often has to contend with Fernando Torres, Fernando Llorente or Alvaro Negredo being chosen as the main central striker while he improvises on the left touchline, which, I think, makes him peerless.
Both Llorente and Scotland captain Darren Fletcher told me this week that Villa is not only world-class but en route to legendary status. I agree, and I would also add that if there is a nicer, more straightforward and reliable person in this cut-throat business of scoring top-level goals, I have yet to meet him.

The Champions of the World
No Matter What…
Whether the pitch was too dry, too sandy; weather was so cold…
You can never put a good team down…
See what I mean???
The team to beat!
The Spanish National Football Team filmed a PSA promoting Millenium Development Goals. I believe it will continue to air until the end of the month, coinciding with the UN MDG Summit in New York on September 20-22, which will be attended by leaders from different countries.
Here’s the translation courtesy of www.conlaroja.wordpress.com
Xavi: winning in Europe.
Pepe: getting a star.
Villa: becoming champions of the world.
Iker: many objectives have been reached, but nothing will be as great as achieving the Millennium Development Goals.
Torres: our rivals are poverty.
Xabi: infant mortality and AIDS.
Cesc: we will defeat them.
Llorente: and we will help universal education to win.
Capdevila: maternal health.
Pepe: and equality.
Sergio: we will make an effort for the environment.
Santi: and to achieve worldwide development.
Iniesta: join our team.
Iker: and together we will achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
Del Bosque: there’s still a lot left to win.
