Seriously Spain, how did you let that happen?

Spain 0/ USA 2
It’s lucky for Spain that no one really cares about the Confederations Cup, otherwise last night’s defeat to the USA would rank as one of the biggest international upsets in recent memory.

Last night, the Americans ended La Furia Roja’s 35-game unbeaten run and 15-game winning streak with a solid performance, helped by some woeful defending. If Sergio Ramos can pull himself away from the mirror long enough, he should watch that second goal a few times. Even a schoolboy wouldn’t take a touch inside the six yard box in that situation.

Congrats all the same to the USA, who will now face either Brazil or South Africa at Johannesburg’s Coca-Cola Park on Sunday.

The temptation of watching an animal die proves too much for defender

If there’s one thing the Spanish love better than world class football, it’s mercilessly slaughtering helpless animals for the sake of entertainment. Real Madrid star Sergio Ramos proved this theorem at the weekend, when he left the Bernabeu early to go and watch a bullfight.

The man bag-loving defender was suspended for Sunday’s match with Real Valladolid, and was only obliged to be present at the stadium for kick-off. Much like Aston Villa’s chances of getting into the Champions League, Ramos quietly slipped away, in order to watch his matador friend Alejandro Talavante show a bull the error of its ways.

Sergio may not have seen the conclusion of Madrid’s 2-0 victory, but one rather famous former Galactico did make the effort…

Say ¡hola! to Sergio Ramos’ new lady

With a busy schedule of playing for Real Madrid, manbag shopping and dressing in blackface, it’s amazing that Sergio Ramos able to make any time for the ladies. Our friends at Kickette, however, have alerted us to that fact that the man who boffed Cristiano Ronaldo’s ex Nereida Gallardo has started romancing Amaia Salamanca.

The Spanish actress - known for roles in SMS and Sin tetas no hay paraíso - was last week snapped by the Spanish version of Hello with the Real Madrid star.

Yes, that’s Sergio Ramos in blackface and a turban

Much like Harry Redknapp asking for money or Cristiano Ronaldo paying a woman after intercourse, casual racism is something that comes naturally to the Spanish. Remember the hilarious joke that welcomed Lewis Hamilton and his “Familly” to the Spanish GP?. How about when the Spanish basketball team and posed for “slit-eye” gesture snap shots prior to the Olympics, and defended it as “appropriate”?

Unfortunately, our European friends have been at it again this Christmas. The Spanish traditionally celebrate los Reyes Magos de Oriente, whereby the three biblical kings visit the houses of children and dish out gifts, like an ethnic triumvirate of Father Christmases.

As part of their continuing quest to maintain ambivalence towards overt racism in society, Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos was invited to take part in the most recent Reyes Magos Eve procession, where he donned blackface, a turban and a pimp ring. Oh dear.
