About

I'm a 21-year-old Madridista studying at an Ivy League university in the United States. I'm scientifically minded and try to apply a reasonable basis in facts and statistics to my analysis of football. I believe firmly in good sportsmanship both for the players and the fans and I strive to inject a bit of courtesy and gentility into the conversation, even though I myself sometimes get carried away. My particular interest is the development of tactical systems and formations.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Raul, Zidane, Xabi Alonso, Casillas, Paolo Maldini, Agüero, Albiol, Roberto Carlos, Ryan Giggs, Alfredo di Stéfano, Puskas, Gento, Rafael Nadal

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Real Madrid. On occasion Arsenal as well, as I was born near Highbury and figure I ought to support them.

  • Favorite Coaches

    Fabio Capello, José Mourinho, Manuel Pellegrini, Vicente del Bosque

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    That one minute in the 06-07 season when Van Nistelrooy scored against Zaragoza and seconds later Tamudo scored against Barcelona to win Madrid the title.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    5 straight European Cups/9 CLs/31 league titles (Madrid), Invincibles (Arsenal), undefeated season (Capello's Milan)...

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Ruth, if this is a baseball question...

  • Unitas or Montana?

    No clue who either of these people are.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan, I suppose. Never heard of Russell.

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    Gretzsky.

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Neither are the greatest ever, as they both had either unimpressive or underwhelming club careers. If I had to choose, it'd be Pele.

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Federer.

  • Tiger or Nicklaus?

    Tiger.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    Is this a NASCAR question? Who cares?

  • Schumacher or Senna?

    I don't watch racing.

  • ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?

    Whichever one Wisconsin is in I guess. Big 10?

    I listened to your podcast. it was nice.
    i don't know if it's just me but i really see marcelo being one of the best left backs in a few years to come. he may seem rusty now but i don't think all hope should be lost on him. what do you think?
