Ligue 1 + Bayern Munich (Week 13)

After a few weeks of discussion on the BPL, I think it's time to change leagues for a week or so. So, this blog will give a bit of recognition to a league that doesn't get all the recognition it should: Ligue 1. First game up is the menacing PSG's 5-0 win against Toulouse. As we soccer fans would've expected, the god-like Ibrahimovich scored twice that game, but the thing that stood out to me was di Maria's goal. He just moved to PSG for this season, and I guess I'm just used to seeing his name on the Manchester United roster. Everything's going swell for PSG; they're in first place in Ligue 1 with an astounding 35 points. My bet's on them. Next up is pretty much the only other well known team in the league, it's Lyon Olympique. They hold their standing in second place as they versed Saint-Etienne with a 3-0 win, all because of Alexandre Lacazette and the hat-trick he got that game. For this week's last game, I'm going to move out of the Ligue 1, and to the German Bundesliga, where Bayern Munich beat Stuttgart 4-0, which only affirmed their spot at the top of their league table. This game also affirmed Lewandowski's fouteenth goal this season (other scorers this game being Robben, Müller, and the recently transferred legend Douglas Costa). If this blog seemed short, wait until next week, where El Classico will take place, and Barça will battle Real Madrid to be the top team of the Premíera Liga de España.

Week 12 (BPL)

"The best league in the world." Either that's true or some good teams just face teams better than them, and that's why they lose. Either way, I have some more game news from the BPL. First game is Chelsea against Stoke City. I really have no idea why, but Chelsea has been getting totally obliterated this season. They still have all their star players from last year, plus Pedro. Even Juventus in the Serie A is playing better than them, and they lost their sacred Tevez, Vidal, and Pirlo. Ay-ay-ay. Back to the game: Chelsea lost 1-0 to Stoke after a beautiful acrobatic goal by Arnautovich put them in the lead right after halftime. Apparently, Chelsea still dominated with possession and went all-out-attacking for the final twenty minutes, but it still wasn't enough for them. Sorry, Chelsea fans. Next game isn't much of a surprise. Arsenal tied 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur. Though they've been pretty much dominating this season the Gunners might be getting tired, and I don't blame them. Wenger even brought on Flamini for Cazorla as he seemed fatigued. Harry Kane scored Tottenham's first goal that game around the first half hour, kept barely onside by Laurent Koscielny. After halftime though, Arsenal came back from a cross from Mesut Özil straight to Gibbs, who got the ball past Lloris for the equalizer. It's a pity though. If Arsenal scored just one more goal, they would've been first in the BPL table. But, they remain tied with Manchester City at 26 points. The only reason Man City is still tied is because they also drew quite an uneventful game with Aston Villa at 0-0. There's not much to say about it, but I can say that the game would have been so much better if Agüero wasn't out for an injury (one that I included on my last injuries blog). The game to conclude today's blog is Manchester City vs West Brom. After this 2-0 victory, ManU's spot in 4th place is settled for this week, at least. The only things that really happened this game were the goals, which were scored by Lingard from a curl at the edge of the box (his first goal this season) and a penalty scored by Juan Mata, where a Brom player got a red card in the box (in the 90th minute as well! Unlucky). Anyway, thanks for reading this week's blog!

Week 11 Games (BPL)

Welcome to week 11 of the 2015-16 season! There are some big games this week, as these are games that could start settling teams' positions in their league's tables. This week I'll be focusing on the EPL. First up, just to get it out if the way, is Chelsea in the EPL. They've been having some issues lately, and their 3-1 loss to Liverpool wasn't exactly good news. A goal in the fourth minute by Chelsea's Ramires led manager José Mourinho to think his team had it in the bag. Heheh...... They held on, though, at least until halftime, where Liverpool scored three times in a 45-minute span, leading them to victory. The team at the top of the Premier League table currently is Manchester City, who had yesterday beaten Norwich with a cruel 2-1. The hero of that game was Yaya Touré, who won Manchester a penalty and Russel Martin a red card in the eighty-eighth minute. Though they lost, I'm sure they're more proud than they'd normally be since they didn't lose 7-0 like last season. Tied with Man City at the top of the Premier League is Arsenal, the underdogs. They're a great team and all, but I would've never thought they'd be so close to the top. They won yet another game with a 3-0 victory against Swansea City. All goals that game wet scored after halftime, with a header from Giroud, a great finish from center-back Laurent Koscielny, and Joe Campbell's first ever goal for Arsenal. They're doing great in their league right now, and good luck to them. Last is a team not mentioned to much this season, it's Everton and Sunderland. Neither if these teams have been playing TOO well, but the real highlight of Everton's 6-2 win is the hat-trick of Koné. They might not win the league title or something this season, but they did get to play one of their best games yet. Good luck to the teams of the Premier League!
