they’ve made their decisions…

Some surprising number changes! Jerzy Dudek and Antonio Adán have swapped numbers (the “25” and the “13”), and Esteban Granero has moved to the “11”! Canales took the “16” while Di María opted to wear the “22” and Pedro León chose the “21.” That leaves Sami Khedira with a choice between the “2” and the “24” left vacant by Granero. And as expected, Cris and Benzema moved to the “7” and “9,” respectively.
And speaking of numbers, I don’t like how the numbers look on the jerseys. The font is a bit too cartoony for me. I almost expect to see the word “pow!” or something similar exploding on top.
Oh yeah, and Madrid won the first game of the Mourinho era, beating Club América 2-3.

Why aren’t their names on the back of their jerseys? It’s a little disturbing.
They never are in the pre-season, because things may still change.
Oh! Alright. :] Apparently Xabi’s number is still 22?
Well in the game yesterday, Di María wore the “22,” so I think we can safely assume Xabi will take the “14.”
Agree with you on the numbers, I like last season’s font better.
