Hello again! I'm back with more translations, and once again, thanks to txorakeriak for hunting down sources for me and standing over me with a whip reminding me very sweetly to translate them. XD

First up, a little follow-up to our Lion King's hattrick at the weekend, in the 2-3 away victory against Rayo Vallecano.

“It was about time, dammit, you’re such a bad 9, I told you at halftime...”
laughing so hard I can't breathe.

Stoked for the derby this weekend. I wish I could go. it's been YEARS since I saw the women play.

Haha I really want to know who wrote some of those! That one cracked me up so bad, I imagine it was Muniain... seems his style!

Why is it literally impossible to see Spanish women's football?! I can't find streams, it's not even on television... I would watch the leonas SO HARD. When I'm in Bilbao later this month I want to see if I can at least catch a training session or something. Ladies need more love! And I fully intend to include them in my translations in the future.

It really does sound like him, hahaha.

Well their leagues aren't as popular or as funded so they don't get much exposure, which sucks. When they formed my granddad pushed me to try-out but alas. Barça actually streamed the Femení A match against Leonessa live on Youtube today and I nearly cried.

And they don't get exposure, so no one watches them, so they don't get any funding. OH WAIT. I know that story. >.<

I'm guessing you didn't end up trying out? (I would have been too chicken, so I get that!) But awesome that your granddad wanted you to!

I actually watched some of that Barça match today! Mostly cos meretricula made me, as I am normally allergic to all things blaugrana, but for anything involving ladyballers I will make an exception. It was amazing, just because it HAPPENED. I've occasionally seen highlights of the leonas, but never ever a live match, and it just made me sad. (And on top of the WPS news...)

(I like how I have derailed my own post. Whateverrrrr. Talking about ladyballers is important stuff.)
