El Clasico!

By: Isaiah | Comments 5 Comments

The commercials for El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid have started and here’s a funny one that Marca pointed out.

The message at the end reads, “It’s not a good time to die. Barcelona-Real Madrid, March 10.”

Zaragoza 1 – 2 Barcelona

By: Isaiah | Comments 1 Comment

Barcelona have defeated Real Zaragoza away 1-2 to claim a spot in the Copa del Rey semifinal. Unfortunately I was unable to watch the game due to being at work at the time, but I think it suffices to say that Barcelona took it to them early and grabbed control of the game 0-2 on [...]

Zaragoza – Barcelona Preview

By: Isaiah | Comments 2 Comments

Just a quick preview as I don’t have the energy for anything in-depth. Barcelona play Real Zaragoza tomorrow at 3:30pm ET in the Copa del Rey quarterfinal return leg and it won’t be easy for the blaugrana to escape this round. They’re down 1-0 on aggregate and that away goal could be crucial. A win [...]

Eto’o Returns, Barça Wins, Critics Shut Up

By: Isaiah | Comments 7 Comments

If what Barça have needed all along was a healthy dose of Samuel Eto’o, well, now we’ve got it and, if the weekend is any indication of the future, most teams are going to need to start studying film from last year if they want to find a way to beat the blaugrana. I won’t [...]

All the goals from La Liga

By: Isaiah | Comments 1 Comment

Marca, as always, has a page of all the goals from this weekend in La Liga. Eto’o is back (more on that tomorrow) and he was pressuring the defender when Amorebieta scored an own goal, he got an assist on Xavi’s goal, and he scored a nice goal to make it 3-0. Welcome back, Sam!

Lineups for the Bilbao game and Dida to Barca?

By: Isaiah | Comments No Comments

It looks like Eto’o may get a start on Sunday against Bilbao, though there’s nothing confirmed. Barcelona paper Sport reports (Spanish) that Eto’o and Ronaldinho are both in the lineup for the game, though it’s unclear who will start. All we know for sure is that four players are out: Deco and Zambrotta (suspended), Belletti [...]

Barcelona – Bilbao Preview

By: Isaiah | Comments No Comments

Coming off a harsh week that hasn’t exactly lived up to its potential (to put it in the best possible terms), Barcelona have a shot at not only returning to winning ways in La Liga and qualifying for the Copa del Rey semifinal when they play Real Zaragoza on Wednesday, but also of putting the [...]

Q: The Catalan Flagship: Sinking? A: No.

By: Isaiah | Comments 6 Comments

“Rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated.” -Mark Twain.
““Si ellos [Barcelona] están en crisis, nosotros [Real Madrid] vivimos en el lado oscuro.” -Iker Casillas.
While Iker Casillas’ well-put statement (generally being translated as “If Barcelona are in crisis, Real Madrid is in total darkness.”) is now being ignored by the worldwide media, there should be some [...]
