I wasn’t able to watch the match this weekend.
I also wasn’t able to get a cup of coffee on demand, a newspaper with football news or a meal at any hour of the day. But I wasn’t in New York City, I was in a small town in North Carolina.
Anyways, it was great to [...]

A Quickie
By: Cesar | 8 Comments
I’m away from New York and football this weekend as I’m in the southern part of the USA at a wedding for a good friend.
North Carolina doesn’t afford one the opportunity to watch La Liga & our beloved Valencia, so the post today’s quick and painless.
It boils down to this: we need three points. [...]

While the rest of the footballing world focuses on some European competition called the Champions League (what kind of name is that??), I sit here, gently twiddling my thumbs, scratching my ear, craning my neck, trying not to fall asleep from the tedium of this all-English semi-final.
Granted, it’s wonderful & exciting and yada yada [...]

Well, this match hurt …
I went to work in the morning but complained of an ‘upset stomach’ so I could get out and watch this one.
I enjoyed a few adult beverages with my friends, consisting of a Valencia fan, some Real Madrid fans, a Valenciana who supports Los Merengues (sacrilegious, I know. But we [...]

Playing Real Madrid at the Bernabeu is always a special occasion.
The home of Los Merengues is the Cathedral of Spanish Football (with all apologizes to the beautiful Nou Camp). Located in the heart of Spain’s capital city, the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (named after a former Real Madrid club president) has played host to a [...]

I’ve always liked Fernando Morientes. He was a quality striker for Real Madrid for eight years and always left his heart on the pitch, for club and country.
When he signed for Valencia after a spell with Liverpool, I couldn’t be happier. A true talent playing for my favorite club.
This weekend marks the annual [...]

I have mixed feelings about Real Madrid.
I know a lot of Valencianos hate the Merengues … scarves fly with the words Antimadridista printed on them, jokes are poked when Madrid fails to win a cup (for example, ‘Ni Liga, Ni Copa, Ni Champions’, which has been appropriate the past 3 years) and the chant [...]

I managed to make my way to the local pub and watched a surprisingly good performance by Valencia.
Consider me humbled, as I predicted a 2-0 loss.
Some notes:
- Joaquin continues to look amazing. He’s playing very well & the signing’s finally paying off.
- Canizares made a fine save on the penalty kick. At his [...]

The Mestalla Chronicles keep on keeping on, with Valencia involved in a chase to the finish line for a spot in the Champions League next season.
A battle of heavyweights takes place at the Mestalla, with La Liga trendsetters Sevilla taking on our beloved Sunday evening. A loss for Los Che all but ends our [...]

So the attention shifts somewhat, with our heroes banished from the Champions League.
Where do our eyes turn and our necks crane?
You guessed it.
To the Champions League, of course …
With 9 games to play, Valencia lie 5th in the table, 6 points behind leaders Barcelona. Title hopes are probably long-winded, but that didn’t stop Valencia [...]
