SPANISH FOOTBALL - "LA LIGA". ROUND 17 RESULTS & SURPRISES

The rest of the Round 17 matches have been played tonight & we
start our summary with a REAL surprise. A lost opportunity
for REAL MADRID & an equally terrible match. Goalkeeper
Casillas photo below says it all; a totally frustrating night.

























The other story here was the debut of 2 of the new signnings from
the "Winter market". The first is pictured below - GAGO - who was
nervious & has to learn that this is not Argentina, its "LA LIGA".
























The other debut came from MARCELO who had more luck &
played well. He tasted what its all about & that should help him
develope in the future.



















But the big news was the 2- 0 loss to DEPORTIVO with goals
from CAPDEVILA from a free kick - pictured - & CHRISTIAN
scrapping up from the keepers block.
A bad start to 2007 for Real , a missed chance to cut points with rivals
Seville FC & Barça, & a terrible day as Salgado & Ramos will miss the
next match due to yellow card accumulations. Tough times ahead
indeed it seems.
















Great news for REAL BETIS, its new coach Luis Fernandez &
Brazilian SOBIS - pictured below - who scored the winning goal
against
CELTA















LEVANTE played well & won RACING DE SANTANDER. Below
is CAMACHO celebrating the 1º of the 2 goals scored by his team.















RECREATIVO DE HUELVA is developing into the "revelation"
team".
After beating Real Madrid away they again pulled a victory
over ESPANYOL with a solitary "cracking" strike by VAZQUEZ
pictured below celebrating his goal.















GETAFE played a great game & were unlucky not to beat a very
undermanned FC BARCELONA who were without star players
Ronaldinho & Deco. Getafe had many chances but only managed
to capitalize thanks to a Marquez mistake in defense which Getafe
striker GUIZA - pictured below - transformed in a goal.














When it seemed Getafe had the game in the bag, XAVI
HERNANDEZ - pictured below - scored
the equalizer with a
superb free kick right into the goal corner. A BEAUTY!. The
game finished in a draw & Barça were happy to have escaped
with a point.




















Another game saw the 1- 3 victory of ATHLETICO DE BILBAO
over MALLORCA, with 2 goals from veteran URZAIZ
















Finally, VILLAREAL played VALENCIA CF & lost to a the only goal
scored by ANGULO
