Real Sociedad is one of the three Basque clubs in La Liga. They are overshadowed by their rivals Athletic Bilbao who have caught the eye of all of Europe last year. This year Sociedad hope to do the same, however it wont be easy as most people predict another year of mediocrity and expect them to finish mid-table once again. Real have made several promising signings such as Carlos Vela, Chori Castro and have many promising youth. This year Sociedad hope to make a mark on La Liga and may the spirit of Vela be with you.

Anoeta:

GOAT thread Rebano. Much respect

However the first club that no record is the San Sebastian Recreation Club in 1903 but was not the only club in the city existing since also were the Basque, the Hope, the Old Boys Fortuna ...

At first the colors of the San Sebastian Recreation Club were green and yellow, but in March 1908 and opened a new kit (white shirt, and blue initials SS in blue pants)

Antoine Griezmann One of my favorite players.

La Real played and won their first game at home today. They dominated the first half, but couldnt score. They hit the crossbar 3 or 4 times, but the attack was clicking well and they were smooth throughout. Then came the second half and immediately Celta pressured and soon enough they scored. Sociedad responded quickly with a goal from Aguirretxe set up by a Messi like Griezmann who dribbled through several players and waited for Aguirretxe to make the run into the box who was left alone by a defender trying to stop Griezmann. And finally the goal that brought the win came form a defensive error when Vela won the ball from at the edge of the box and sent in a weak cross where there were two Celta defenders, but they reacted too slow and Aguirretxe put the ball in the back of the net. A tough win for La Real, but a deserved one. Sociedad has a great attack and they should perform even better as the new players get accustomed to the team.

Keep up the amazing thread
Vela sparked my interest in this club to be honest.

Superb contribution again Rebano. I especially liked how you layed out the fixture list.

we beat them up 2-0

Griezmann extends his contract to 2016

Siempre he dicho que los rumores me daban igual y no quería ir a otro club porque sé que tengo mucho que aprender y me han dado mucha confianza. Y ha sido el único club que ha creído en mí, con el que he debutado en Primera y eso para mi es muy importante

Also the renovations for Anoeta have been approved

No more track

Griezmann Kind of sad new for me, I was hoping Liverpool can snatch him up next summer

La Real wasn't going to lose at home to Zaragoza, but good win.

What's the third Basque club in La Liga??? I only know of Bilbao and Real Sociedad being Basque.

Osasuna.

Literally a perfect performance by Sociedad with Inigo, Zurutaza and of course, Basque forward Carlos Vela terrorizing the Aragonese defence. Inigo is one of Espana's best fullbacks.


































Anoeta is truly impregnable.

They are in the Navarre region in Pamplona, aren't they I?? I always thought Navarre was its own autonomous community in Spain.

Messia, there also is what is called the "Greater Region" of Basque Country which comprises of Basque Country, Northern Basque Country in France (along with most of the Pyrenee) and Navarre as well.

Navarre is a separate province yet 100% in value and heritage.

Shit away form.

Arquitecto wrote:Anoeta is truly impregnable

It truly is.

If you want to make some money bet on Sociedad losing away from home

We are playing like shit...

Griezmann is a class above the rest of the team tbh

Raping Rayo right now

Another complete dominant performance by Sociedad at the Anoeta so far. Atmosphere has to be the best in Primiera Liga at the moment. Superb performance by the team while Prieto has been an absolute visionary in this game as usual. Vela with his clinical brace is showing what a mistake it was for Wenger to let this gem of a player go. If Sociedad can convert this form away then a Europa League chance wouldn't be so unrealistic. GORA Euskadi.

Can't score away from home they just beat Valencia 5-2 at the Mestalla
