Madrid

Welcome to Madrid Spain

After a killer breakfast in Rota, we took off. We got into Madrid, and we scored tickets to the Real Madrid soccer match. These guys are the Yankees of Euro Football. They spend more than anyone to make sure they are winners. They are the most luxurious sports team in history. I think. I never thought I would want to go to something like this, but man, I am glad I did. So my first question, what's with "real"? Real is Spanish for Royal. They started in 1902 and later was bestowed to King Alfonso XIII in 1920. 

Tickets!

The Santiago Bernabeu holds 85,500 people.

Built-in 1947

Winners of a record number of stuff:

32 La Liga titles,

18 Copas del Rey,

9 Supercopas de Espania,

1 Copa Eva Duarte

1 Copa de Liga,

9 Euro Cups,

3 International cups,

2 UEFA cups

1 AEFA Cup.

I bet that's a lot to people who know what any of this is!

They Play techno and Opera during pregame. That metal shows own Don Jamieson Sings a little opera for us. Look out VH1 there could be a That Opera Show coming next year.

At the half we had a quick drink, they do not serve beer in the stadium, so we went to this great dive. Photos on the wall show that every famous rocker has been drunk here. Soccer is like comedy- I think you need to see it live to really appreciate it.
We got on the subway, and it was packed, and this group of Irish kids started passing gas and literally cleared the car. Things don't change, no matter where you are.

We used the subway to get back and forth.
