La Liga Team Of The Week

Wel­come to the 1st edi­tion of “La Liga Team Of The Week”  Isn’t this the best part of the sports year.  Mainly because its the start of foot­ball sea­son, both Amer­i­can and Inter­na­tional aka Real foot­ball.   Its gonna be one great sea­son and hope­fully as a Barca fan, the Blau­grana will win a tre­ble although it doesn’t look like it.  Don’t worry Barca is not the team of the week.  In fact they will never win Team Of The Week if they con­tinue to play the way the have been play­ing.  The win­ner of this season’s 1st Team Of The Week (which com­bines Week 1 and this past week) is:

Club Deportivo Numan­cia de Soria

CD Numancia La Liga Team Of The Week

You might be think­ing, how can a team that lost, win the TOW but the way they lost and who they have played make them a wor­thy recip­i­ent. The recently pro­moted side in the first two weeks of the sea­son have had to take on the two biggest clubs in Spain and they have not been afraid at all.  In week 1, they beat Barcelona 1–0 and this past week lost a tough 4–3 match to Real Madrid.  If you want to get tech­ni­cal they have put more goals in the net than their oppo­nents, 5 to 3, unfor­tu­nately the game win­ner in the Real Madrid game was an own goal but nev­er­the­less you have to give credit to a newly pro­moted side for not being intim­i­dated by the big clubs.  Even though they beat my team, Numan­cia has proven that they are wor­thy of being in La Liga and let’s hope they con­tinue their inspired play.  Club Deportivo Numan­cia De Soria is the La Liga Team Of The Week.

Good Choice! It's great when the underdog does well, even though they lose. Los Pajaritos Stadium holds less than thousand. Not enough money for foreign players. Some of the have played in Tercera. Pure Magic!

PS Sporting deserve some moral support as well!
