What was the result of Real Madrid vs Shamrock Rovers?

Today we had the debut of Cristiano Ronaldo playing with Real Madrid in Ireland. The match was against a very unknown Irish team: Shamrock Rovers.

The final result was 1-0. Real Madrid won the game, but it was close to finish with a tie. The only goal was scored at minute 87. The Irish team was only 3 minutes away of getting a surprising result.

The only goal was scored by Karim Benzema, the new french player of Real Madrid. Benzema played all 2nd half, he came into the game in substitution of Raul.


The whole world was waiting this game in order to witness the debut of this new Real Madrid, and especially the debut of Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka.

As for Cristiano Ronaldo, he did play the 1st half of the match. However, Kaka didn´t. I guess Kaka was not ready for a debut, we will have to wait a future game in order to watch Kaka in action.

Cristiano Ronaldo only played the first 45 minutes, I guess it was not enough time in order to have a good conclusion about his performance. He was very participative though, his presence was notorious, and he played a good game in a general way, but he is still to show his real category in future games.

Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid?

It seems Real Madrid is still trying to get a few more star soccer players into the team. In the last few days there have been some rumors about the interest Real Madrid has in Xabi Alonso, the spanish star who currently plays with Liverpool in England.

Real Madrid has spent a lot of money in the last few weeks with the contracting of Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Albiol.

Xabi Alonso is a very well known spanish player who plays in Liverpool since 2004. Liverpool sources have said several times in the past that Xabi Alonso is not to be transfered anywhere in the world, no way. He still has 3 more years in his current contract with Liverpool, and they are not thinking about transfering him.

But the truth is that in this soccer world, everything is possible. Manchester United said the same thing about Cristiano Ronaldo, and after a lot of rumors Cristiano Ronaldo finally joined Real Madrid. If Cristiano Ronaldo did, any other player in the world would do the same thing.

Some people say that Liverpool is considering a transfer for Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid for the amount of about 100 million dollars. This amount is something possible for a team like Real Madrid. This is like pocket money for them.

We will have to be listening to the news about this possible transfer in the next few days or weeks.

Just after almost everybody thought that Real Madrid was over for now with the contracting of additional soccer stars, this one will be a new novel. Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid could be a matter of time.

After this new interest of Real Madrid, I guess one thing is out of the question: Real Madrid bank account seems to have no limits!

The answer may be pretty difficult to figure out for many people, because this game will be played against a not very known team. That team is Shamrock Rovers. Have you ever heard about this team?

Many people probably don´t know where this team is from. Well, let me tell you that this is a soccer team from Ireland, and this game will be played in Dublin, on July 20th as we said before.

It will be a friendly game, but it won´t be a regular friendly game because the whole world is looking forward to the official presentation of Real Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka in the field, playing together.

I guess this friendly game will be the most watched friendly game in soccer history, I´m sure millions of soccer fans will be watching on TV.

We will have a taste of this new era for Real Madrid, we will start to see if those millions of dollars were worthy investments. At least from a marketing point of view, the investments seem to be very good. From a soccer performance, we have to wait a little bit, it´s to soon to know.

Ribery future is not very clear

We all know that Real Madrid has been pushing for getting the services of many soccer stars in the last few months. There were a lot of rumors for the contracting of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and a few other soccer players.

A few months ago, the contracting of Cristiano Ronaldo was very uncertain, but everybody knew that it was a matter of time for Real Madrid in order to get Cristiano Ronaldo on the team.

The same situation with Kaka. A lot of rumors for a long time, everybody was very uncertain about this. Finally Kaka went to Real Madrid.

Is Ribery the next player to sign a contract with Real Madrid?. It is a rumor that comes from many months ago. The situation of Ribery with his current team, Bayern Munich, is not very clear.

Ribery himself has said several times that he is not sure if he will continue with Bayern Munich. However, he also said a few days ago that he intends to finish his contract with Bayern Munich before moving to another team.

Some people say that Ribery is not very happy with his current situation in Germany, some other people say he is fine. As I said before, a lot of rumors come and go, and we are not sure what is the real situation.

What I do know is that Ribery is a great player, I´m also sure that Real Madrid has the intention of contracting Ribery as soon as possible. If Real Madrid was able to get Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, I wouldn´t be surprised that they also get Ribery in the next few days or weeks.

Let´s wait and see, we´ll be watching this situation.

Presentation of Cristiano Ronaldo with Real Madrid

Today we watched on TV the presentation of Cristiano Ronaldo with Real Madrid. About 80,000 fans were cheering live in the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. It was a complete show, the kind of shows we see in music concerts or something like that.

Soccer fans all over the world watched on TV this presentation. I'm sure several millions were watching. It was not a match, it was not a final game in the UEFA Champions League, it was not a game vs Barcelona FC. It was only the presentation of this new player.

Last week there was a similar presentation, let´s remember that Kaka was also presented in the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, and about 40,000 fans attended that presentation.

Everybody knew that Cristiano Ronaldo presentation was to be a great show, and it was, we have to admit that. Real Madrid is really doing very big investments on these new players for this coming season.

The challenge Real Madrid now has with these new star players in the team, is to win each and every tournament they will play. The Spanish League, the King's Cup, UEFA Champions League.

If they don´t win every tournament from now on, the investment on Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo could be a matter of debate for a very long time.

Let´s remember that Barcelona FC is the team to beat for Real Madrid. Barcelona is the best soccer team in the world as of today, and it´s going to be very difficult for Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona FC in this coming season.

We have to admit that it´s going to be very interesting the next few competitions. We're looking forward to watch Real Madrid playing with these new stars: Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka.

Every soccer fan in the world can´t wait to see Real Madrid playing. I'm one of those soccer fans.
