Friends of Forza Futbol 6.30

On today's episode of Friends of Forza Futbol, we give a proper shout-out to all our friends who have been with us on the Forza Futbol Virtual Spanish Pub.

On the World Stage:

If you are looking for some great candid pics and great coverage of the Copa America, step on by Futbolita where our friend Ash has some very interesting shots of Mano's boys. You can see Robinho clowning around, Lucas Leiva on a horse (He's on a horse!) and Alexandre Pato clapping at Thiago Silva. Boy, he's special.
Over at Global Footbal Today, Alicia writes about the inflated worth of English Premier League players and why that came about. Some interesting points, especially about the effect that the Big 4 clubs in England have on pushing fees and salaries in England, and therefore effecting every other league in Europe, Neat domino effect.
Over at La Celeste Blog, the preparations for Uruguay's Copa America is covered. Just a note, La Celeste is one of the best blogs on Uruguay and its players; no better site to follow la celeste.
At Vaishali's Blog, she reviews the last bits of the season, she mentions her television and radio work, and she puts us right there on her blog. She mentions her appearance on our show. Nice.

In Spain

At Glasgow Sports Analyst, our friend Kieran writes about Spain and their addiction to winning. How much has changed for La Roja in just three years. Perennial underachievers for many, many years, they changed their approach and are now winners up and down.
For anyone looking for the best coverage of La Liga Adelante, our friend and colleague Arch Bell writes a column about Segunda for our sister site La Liga Weekly. For his year end Segunda Awards, try this link.
At Spanishfootball.info, our friend Gary from MadridAtleticos writes an in depth look at David DeGea as he signs for Manchester United. The Cat in the Hat, as we call him here, will be a great addition at Old Trafford.
Just to give a little more traffic Gary's way, try that MadridAtleticos link if you want to read coverage of the restructuring of Atletico Madrid and a very good interview with Gil Marin from ElMundoDeportivo.
As for news sites, there is no better site on Los Che, Valencia CF than our friend Kyle's Locos 4 Los Che site. For the latest transfer news and contract talks from Mestalla, turn your browsers here.
Last but not least this week, is from one of our favorite blogs: Oooh Betis! from our favorite pepino Adam Boyle. Read Tap Dancing, about the headline that Sevilla's Sports Daily Estadio Deportivo wrote about the tap-water being shut off at Er Beti (i.e. no more signings until players can be sold). Fun stuff from Joe Meemo.
