Pelligrini has signed a two-year deal and claims his "dream" has been fulfilled. Haven't we heard that before?

Villarreal have announced his replacement in former Espanyol coach Ernesto Valverde. Did that sensational double with Olympiakos in Greece as well.

We will be playing preseason games in Washington and Toronto. And there is the Peace Cup as well.

Comprehensive win for la furia roja, and good run-out before the confederations cup. Azarbeijan played well though, especially in the first half although they did crack in the second and Spain were all over them.

Villa on fire and good to see Santi back to his best after that injury. Dint think at that time he would make it in time for the tournament.

Okay, so Barca's much famed youngsters have lost to ours in the U-18 Club world championship final. We have as much quality as they do, just that they dont get enough chances to step up to the first team.

Just so you dont feel alone.

lol, I didn't watch the match but I bet that Barcelona dominated the match but Real madrid took the result. Results don't matter at youth level it's about performance.

So it still stands Barcelona> Madrid.

Even I only saw the goals but the match report said Barcelona were better only for the first half hour, after which our players took over and deserved to win in the end.

El Mundo have a habit of posting anti-Madrid rumours, but I was a bit afraid after reading about all those Casillas to Manure rumours.

Glad Real have clarified the issue.

haha the man united url trick. You can find anything if you mess around enough on there. Seen some strange stuff come up when people were looking for tomorrows news by manipulating the URL.

Iceberg ahead.

Happens every year with people getting excited about it, I think a database of footballers is in there and so if you mess about with the last four digits it comes up with that specified footballer. I found Richard Wright but I'm guessing Ferie's not gonna snap him up.

EDIT: Just read the Madrid article and it explains it clearer than I did.

EDIT 2: I won't go into your history of predicting tomorrow's news Joe.
