Again, the players seem to be going down just like the global economy.

But WAIT! UPDATE. Only a few hours after this post, someone has been sacked. On their bday.

Spain

Marquez Barcelona Mug ShotRafael Marquez(Barcelona)-Marquez came back this week and well, it wasn’t too great. He gave away a penalty during the second half and was dismissed in the dying minutes of the game for his second yellow card. Fortunately for him Barca won the game and remain on top of the league.

Guillermo Franco Villarreal Mug ShotGuillermo Franco(Villarreal)-Franco played all 45 mins of the first half only to complain about an injury during half time. He came off for the second during the Villarreal loss to Deportivo. They’re in 5th place.

Omar Bravo Mug Omar Bravo(Deportivo La Coruna)-Bravo’s Spanish woes continue on. He watched his team as they won 3-0 over Villarreal.

Javier Aguirre(Atletico)- Aguirre’s 2009 hasn’t started out well and it continued this weekend as Atletico lost 2-1 to Vallalodid. They’re now in 7th place, behind Deportivo.

Turkey

Antonio De Nigris(Ankaragucu)-Yes that’s right. He moved to a new team. And he started out in style. De Nigris is on loan from Ankaraspor for the next 6 months. He scored a goal with his new team and played all 90 mins.
