Sergio Ramos
Player of
the week 11/16/15
Sergio Ramos plays for Real Madrid and Spain’s national team. He is a
central defender and a right back. He played for Sevilla FC before Real Madrid.
Ramos receives a lot of heat from Sevilla since he left in 2005 to play for
Real. I am honoring him this week as
Spain plays on Tuesday against Belgium. Also this Saturday is El Clásico where Real Madrid will play FC
Barcelona. Sergio Ramos is my favorite player on Real Madrid and I look forward
to watching him on the pitch. He is a strong defender and great captain.
¡Hala Madrid y Nada Más!
Andrés Escobar
Player
of the Week 11/13/15
Andrés
Escobar played for Colombia's national team from 1988-1994. He was a great
defender and was wildly known for his mistake during the FIFA World Cup of
1994. Colombia played America in that first round match. Sadly Colombia lost
and were sent home. Escobar accidentally kicked a shot into his own team's net.
That mistake haunted him and brought him death as he returned to Medellín,
Colombia. During that time violence was coming into play with soccer. Escobar's
death created a sad day in Colombia. He had such talent and was
suppose to be signed to Milan, but his career was cut short due to the violence
in Colombia. I recently watched a documentary on him and I wanted to honor him
this week. Soccer is an escape from violence for most children in Colombia, but
during those years cartels managed those teams. Today it is widely different as
Colombia has progressed. The passion for soccer in Colombia is
incredible.
1967-1994
