A morning hike meant I didn't have too long to see Sarpsborg, but I enjoyed what I saw. Highlight was definitely catching up again with Lars Erik (left), the man behind making/ruining your life 😃🤣 on Futbology and meeting Jeppe visiting from Denmark😃⚽🇳🇴🇩🇰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Last match of my Norway trip. More excellent away support. KFUM put in an excellent shift and deserved the win v a team in the Champions League qualifiers. Felt like being at the cricket 😃♥️ ⚽ KFUM Oslo v SK Brann 🏆 Eliteserien🇳🇴 🏟️KFUM Arena 💶Invitation 🙏🏻 📆19.07.25 👥3,017

Early start given the heat. Shady spots at a premium 😎 Getafe scored 6, hit the post 4 times and the México keepers made some impressive saves. Only a friendly mind. ⚽ Getafe CF B v Mexico F.C. 🏆Amistoso 🏟️Ciudad Deportiva Getafe 💶FREE 📆09.08.25

Colas para ver el Botti!! 😃⚽💚 SAD Villaverde San Andrés

Although Móstoles URJC won't be pleased with the outbreak that has affected their pitch, I miss imperfect turf. The best videos (in UK) all come from the 1970s and early 80s when it was just mud mud mud. Too many carpets these days 😀🙏⚽️

Another wonderful morning friendly. RSD and Guadalajara put on a good show and shared 4 2nd half goals, although the highlight was meeting up with my Alcalá friend (and cricket 🏏 fan) Félix!! 😃⚽ ⚽ RSD ALCALA SAD v C.D. Guadalajara 🟣⚪️ 🏆Amistoso 🏟️Municipal el Val 💶FREE 📆13.08.25

When it's going to be 41° later (with a minimum of 26°) go to a 10am friendly, go home, and pull down the blinds. Job done! 😃⚽ ⚽ AD Parla v Inter Valdemoro 🏆 Friendly 🏟️ Los Prados 💶FREE 📆 16.08.25
