<p>Hopefully though, we&#8217;ll get to see some players today at the presentation of a charity golf tournament organized by the Real Madrid Foundation for the benefit of foundations involved with Down&#8217;s Syndrome and West Syndrome.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Two. </strong></span>And as <a href="https://twitter.com/aarbeloa17/status/27883864515">confirmed</a> by Álvaro Arbeloa, our Pipa is finally <a href="https://twitter.com/Real_Higuain">on twitter</a> (and racking up followers) although he hasn&#8217;t started tweeting yet (and as Álvaro said, there are a lot of things to do).</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Three. </strong></span>Our battle for the Copa del Rey &#8211; the only major cup Iker lacks in his trophy cabinet &#8211; begins next Tuesday, on Oct. 26, at 20h in the Nueva Condomina.  The second leg will be at the Bernabéu on Nov. 9 or 10.</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>Four. </strong></span>The Spanish U-19 team beat Lithuania 6-0 in the qualifying round of the U-19 Euro, with our <em>canteranos</em> scoring half of that tally &#8211; Pablo Sarabia netted two goals and Álvaro Morata one.  Álex Fernández and Jesé Rodríguez also played in the game.</p>
