This is the Real squad:
Goalkeepers: Casillas, Keylor Navas and Pacheco.
Defenders: Varane, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Carvajal, Arbeloa and Nacho.
Midfielders: Kroos, Bale, Lucas Silva, Modric, Isco and Illarra.
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Chicharito and Jesé.
James still injured, Coentrao and Khedira are ill.

I'm glad that the toxicness surrounding the match during the Mou days is over. It's better for the players too. (especially you Pepe and Ramos!)
I won't make predictions because I'm afraid I might jinx them.

I'm extremely scared about tonight but at least Toni is looking forward to it:

Can't wait for El Clasico... ;-)

there's no way carlo is going to use 4-4-2. he said he wouldn't bench anyone from the BBC. so yeah, he's going with the persistent 4-3-3. good luck to real tbh.

Why oh why is James injured.
My humble opinion; We are not cohesive enough with BBC. Bale is not on the ball enough and it leaves the midfield way too exposed. BBC are extremely useful in the 25m before the opposite goal but not if you need to pressure from midfield. I just hope their pace can throw off Barcelona.

exactly. the reason we dominated in the last clasico is because of our fluid midfield. everyone put in shifts for defense and in getting the ball back. now we can't even get mad at carlo for not using 4-4-2 because he doesn't have a choice either.

i just hope modric and especially sergio have a great game because that would be really helpful.

Are you serious? jazzypom March 22 2015, 09:56:08 UTC
Like, as long as they're fit, they're playing, you mean?

So they don't need to fight for position? D:

This guy! I can never spell his name. I'm just no good.

Just call him Benz, hehe.

Rumour has it that Mourinho is courting Varane. Since he doesn't get much playing time at Real Madrid, the whispered sweet nothings might be turning his head?

Understandable, since JT should retire soon (can someone please do something about that?). Varane can be an integral cog in the parked bus. It'll break my heart if he goes to Chelsea and Real won't have a defense (I don't rate Ramos, Marcelo or Pepe highly. Carvajal is okay, not world-class, but he can be.) anymore.

Pepe. When he isn't spitting on people or calling people of non white descent monkeys (I just... what? Has he looked at himself? Or Bale?

I see you calling out on Pepe, Jazzy. You have no idea how many people have tried to defend his despicable behavior. I'm still sitting pretty over him head-butting my Troll at the WC. And nice shade on Bale.

Is there some way to kill off this MSN, BBC nonsense? It's really getting on my nerves.

Sometimes I would jokingly say Pepe's a changed man on the pitch because he hadn't been booked for a while this season, which is one thing right? But I've actually had people argue with me and try to defend him over the racist claims. And not as in, "No, he didn't say that!" kind of way. It was more along the lines of "he's allowed to do that [because of his race]" - completely serious. Unreal.

Shitstains. You can be a POC and still be racist but people can't accept that and try to defend their faves.

I'm excited but nervous too. Barca, please please win. And I hope Crispy fails to score. SMH at his reaction to Bale's goal.

I have a better one, I hope Cris gets a fake penalty and he misses. That'd be fun. Or not :D

Unrelated to football but about a bit in the post. Jazzy if you're looking for good studio headphones at a slightly more affordable price, look into Audio Technica's ATH-M50 model. They're really great entry level headphones and you can catch them on sale from a few places for around $90USD from time to time. They regularly retail for about $130/150 depending on what cord type you get. There's also the newer model the ATH-M50x which has different colour choices, has a detachable cord and are about $170USD. If you're lucky you can catch them at like $120 on sale like my friend did. Same sound quality as the old M50 was great and needed no improvement whatsoever.

Most people I've come across feel the Technica headphones have a better sound quality than Beats. I own a pair and I agree.

That will suit me to the ground, thank you. I'm interested in the bluetooth ones because I tend to get tangled in the cords (I go hiking frequently, so it would be nice to listen to my Spanish recordings without getting garrotted by my own cord). Thank you!

Sorry, I should note that the ATH-M50x with the detachable cord doesn't have bluetooth capabilities. The old ATH-M50 came hardwired with either a straight or coiled connection, so you got one or the other when you bought a set. With the detachable cord the ATH-M50x now gives you the option to switch between different types. Audio Technica hasn't come out with a bluetooth headset just yet, unfortunately. I do have a recommendation, though.

The Sony MDR10RBT's are fantastic headphones that go for $169USD, and I've seen them go as low as $83.99 during Black Friday sales or $130ish randomly. I've got a pair and I pretty much never use my Sennheiser MM 550-X or Bose SoundLink sets anymore (for someone who's not a big fan of bluetooth headsets I have too many lol). Strong connection, I've never had an issue with interference, comfortable... Best bang for your buck in my opinion. They don't fold up to store nicely in my gym bag, but that's a minor gripe.

Glad to be of help :)

Sony, eh? Good, good. I am on it now. Thank you so much! I have these janky headphones held together by tape and hope.
