I am a huge soccer fan and love to read the articles on Goal.com. I have tried for many hours to figure out how to write a recipe to fetch the articles from Goal.com (and its RSS feed) but I am a n00b and can't figure it out.

The link for the website is: http://www.goal.com/en/
It is important that it is that exact link because there are different versions of the website, and the above link is for the International version.

I would also really appreciate it if you could include the Barcelona team page from the goal.com website: http://www.goal.com/en/teams/spain/125/barcelona-news

I could not figure out how to isolate the individual articles when using the normal website, so I thought it would be easier to do through the RSS feed. However, the link that comes up when you click the RSS link is http://www.goal.com/en/feeds/news?fmt=rss, which is not an XML file, and therefore cannot be read by Calibre.

If anyone has time, I would really appreciate it if someone could either write me a Recipe, or preferably teach me how to write it so that I will be able to write more Recipes in the future and help others as well. Thanks in advance!
