Another Tragedy

I was about to do a very different post, but then I heard of Robert Enke's death and it kind of discouraged me from the long and fact filled idea I had. That is really sad. Enke was currently Germany's number 1 GK and probably would have been with them in the World Cup next summer. All reports say he was hit by a train and most of them suggest it was a suicide. Very sad story. There have been a lot of these things in the last few months. I wonder if it is just a run of bad luck or if the hyper-coverage and proliferation of media brings these stories to us quicker and in more depth than before. Either way, terrible news.

From tragedy to comedy: Real Madrid eliminated from Copa del Rey by Alcorcon! Hahahaha. After getting trounced 4-0 in the first leg Pellegrini brought out the big guns to try and turn it around at the Bernabeu and all they could manage was a meager 1-0 win over the third division club. You can say everyone gives Real Madrid their A-game but really this is embarrassing. In other Copa matches Barcelona stomped on Culutural 5-0 and Atletico finally won a game comfortably, 6-0 over Marbella.
