Spanish Primera Division 2006 - 2007

Two things:

Betis - Sevilla is Saturday. I've invited a Betis fan I don't even know over to watch it with me and a couple friends. Should be interesting as I've never seen a derbi with a Betis fan. I knew a lot of them when I was in Sevilla but the derby was during Semana Santa so I was traveling and in Madrid at the time. The guy is from Sevilla and is in Pittsburgh doing some research at Carnegie Mellon. I have a couple Spanish friends who are my office mates and they've told me about him and him about me. We've actually gone to a couple of the same parties but I left before he showed up both times. Anyway, should be fun.

Apparently the whole world, as they say, at Real Madrid (president, players, fans) are demanding that Beckham be brought back into the club. Capello had said that Beckham was done, immediately after Beckham signed. Some people thought it was a revenge thing for having signed, I think it was because before Beckham signed he didn't want to ruin the chance that he renew his contract so Capello waited until that was no longer a possibility to say he wanted nothing to do with him.
