I read this earlier today and I'm not surprised you picked it up either. :)
And as for the Germans, their policies and methods should be adopted if possible as clearly they have a proper functional system that not only contributes to the benefit of the German national team, but the individuals who grow up under it as well.
This is how football should be run!
LOVED this line, and you can see they weren't joking when you look at the German national team,
"And we need intelligent players on the pitch anyway."

Like you, I've also looked through their video's as well. They have some good stuff. Even subscribed to them.
This is what I hope will be the future of Spain's national team. May be a bit biased, but just a bit.

My only comment to their selection would be that they use an English definition of "young stars" i.e., from 23 years of age and older: whereas in all the other leagues they'd use 17-19 years of age. Thus you see players such as Isco, Varane, De Gea, Courtois, Munian, Tello, etc. who are alredy considered veterans yet none are beyond 21 years of age (De Gea is 22).
Pellegrini is leaving Malaga at season's end.
They will also look to alter their philosophy. They'll be signing a lot of young players and investing more in their academy. I doubt you'll see pseudo big-name players from them anymore.
Pellegrini out is a BIG loss for them. Word round La Liga junkies is that they'll be looking to sign a manager from some Argentinean club?

This decision isn't being made by the players or manager, it's the owners that have decided to pull the plug. No idea how serious they'll pursue running a football club from here on...
Montanier is leaving La Real at season's end.
http://www.marca.com/2013/05/20/en/football/international_football/1369070211.html
I was afraid of this happening. Even earlier on in the season, it was clear that Montanier and La Real's board had a few differences. The part about losing Montanier is not so bad as what may follow as a consequence - some players may decide to leave as well.
- Martinez
- Griezmann
- Pardo
- Llaramendi
- Vela
Are just some of the names that are linked with other clubs. Just rumors at the moment, but with the departure of Montanier, these frightening rumors of La Real's faithful may come to be a reality.

I'm not sure it's quite such a falling sky. Wait until the next manager is given a chance before turning on him! This isn't Madrid! :P
AS are reporting Pepe Mel as the likely target to succeed him. An interesting sight to see, but disappointing to see Real Betis lose such a quality manager. What would you have?
+1
No idea, but I trust the board.
I'd rather Pepe Mel stay at Betis. Don't see him as a good fit at La Real.

if this is about contract then im disappointed coz real sociedad are not in deep financial crisis.
@Mad93 I don't think it has anything to do with contracts. Neither the club nor Montanier are showing delusions of grandeur, they both have their feet on the ground. Leaving for Rennes isn't exactly like heading off to Monaco or PSG.

Here are highlights from match day 36 of La Liga. I believe the only excluded highlights are from the Monday fixture - Mallorca vs. Real Betis. The plus side is that it's in 720p!
Sorry for the delay and enjoy!

Ronaldo dove for a pk. Then dove for a fk which led to a wrongful indirect in the penalty area... Pathetic.
Real Sociedad really pulled a close one there, I thought Sevilla was going to win it.
I was really hoping Atletico Madrid would do better this season, they had it all :/

Unsure what more Atletico could have done this year, other than win La Liga!
Also, if you disliked Ronaldo's thespian talents then I highly recommend you avoid watching ANY Neymar match highlights! :)
EDIT: Neymar's performance against Corinthians this past week in the Paulista:
http://youtu.be/X-WspFKpCos
The guy just keeps getting worse and worse every time I see him play.

@Che
There is not much Atletico could have done except finish second, which they blew. Still, they won the CDR after a decade or so, hence this season will definitely be considered a success for them.
@Mt
What an elegant choice of describing his actions - "thespian". I'll be using that myself too!

I must admit I haven't been keeping up with Neymars theatrics, or watching any of his games. I find it hard to take him seriously until he is in a better league where defenders exist.
I wanted Atletico to finish second in La Liga and Falcao to score more than Ronaldo lol The first half of the season they did excellent then they kind of dropped form. I was very happy when they won the cup. Simeone was brilliant.

Was never really a fan of Valencia, nor their football. I hope La Real go on to make the CL play offs. As for the relegation battle, I'm fine with all the current clubs in the bottom 3 going down.
I don't think Malaga had their appeal accepted for the next season. They can however play in Europe the following season, so for now I'd prefer Real Betis to finish above them. Not that it would make a difference if they don't (they are being punished by FFP anyway).

As Long as Depor and Osasuna dont drop im good there. Also.. im unsure of Sociedad.. i dont think they have the resources to last long in the UCL.. they will be lucky to string a win or 2 in the groups. unless they load up over the summer...
The last 2 weeks is gonna be a battle between Betis, Vallecano and Sevilla for 7th and maybe 8th depending on Malaga's appeal and when it takes effect if it is accepted. but main goal is 7th for all 3 of them.. for assurance. with that said, malaga can be pipped and finish 8th anyway if they lose there last 2 and there opponents win.

Personally I'd love for Deportivo to stay. I liked them since the Rivaldo days.
I'm fine with Depor staying up as well. They have history in this league. I rather Real Zaragoza go down. I feel they are a poorly run club.

We need better highlights for deportivo and zaragoza !

Bloody good article on the rise of German football (the Germans know how to run things, so I beg everyone to study their methods closely):
http://www.footytube.com/news/guardian/how-germany-went-from-bust-to-boom-on-the-talent-production-line-L24136
Some absolute gems in there:
"According to Uefa, Germany has 28,400 (England 1,759) coaches with the B licence, 5,500 (895) with the A licence and 1,070 (115) with the Pro licence, the highest qualification."
"Across a sizeable area where they face little competition from other Bundesliga clubs, Freiburg work closely with five amateur feeder teams who receive a part-time coach to train children aged 8 to 11 twice a week. The most promising players are invited to attend the academy during school holidays and for occasional tournaments at weekends. "We believe it is not good for a nine-year-old to play [regularly] for a professional football club because it changes the reasons why he plays football.""
"When I went to Aston Villa eight years ago I told them our players, under-17, 18 and 19, go to school for 34 hours a week," he says. "They said: 'No, you're a liar, it's not possible, our players go for nine hours.' I said: 'No, I'm not lying.' They said: 'It's not possible, you can't train and do 34 hours of education.' I said: 'Sure. And what do you do with the players who have for three years, from the age of 16 to 19, only had nine hours a week of school?
"They said: 'They have to try to be a professional or not. They have to decide.' I said: 'No, we can't do that in Freiburg. It's wrong. Most players in our academy can't be professionals, they will have to look for a job. The school is the most important thing, then comes football.' We give players the best chance to be a footballer but we give them two educations here. If 80% can't go on to play in the professional team, we have to look out for them. The players that play here, the majority of them go on to higher education. And we need intelligent players on the pitch anyway.""
