Real Madrid reserves? Holy crap, they looked like a U-18 team. Wild.
ReplyDeleteAre sure it's not the youth team? I'm sure the Madrid reserves would have hammered these youngsters.
ReplyDeleteNice to see Bunbury all of a sudden picking up his game. Perhaps, the call up to the national team stoked the fire in him.
" I'm sure the Madrid reserves would have hammered these youngsters. "
ReplyDelete?, more talent on this youngster team (more raw, but talent is talent) than on the Wizards team that beat what now appears to be largely Man Utds first team. You are over selling Real Madrids reserves and under selling the talent of these young American players. Its not like Madrid is some sort of amazing system for developing talent, they buy their first time, they dont get those player by bumping them up from reserves.
