I know I didn’t do a proper review of the Gamper Cup game, so here is a mini-review before the larger, more thorough preview of Sunday’s home opener against Bilbao. In what amounted to a game against Inter’s B squad (or was it C? whichever, their away unis look like Crusader gear), Barca walloped their [...]

Not all of the details are in and nothing official has been announced, but apparently Motta is going to Atletico Madrid for 2million euros. Maybe his goal in last night’s Gamper allowed this to happen, I don’t know, but it’s a good thing, in the end. 2million is relatively little compared to what Barcelona is [...]
Champions League Draw
By: Isaiah | 8 Comments
Wow. The Champions League draw happened today, as most of you already know, and Barcelona have it rough. They were drawn in Group E alongside Lyon, Stuttgart, and Rangers. Lyon is definitely the toughest opponent possible from Pot 2, which is unfortunate for Barcelona, but really, no opponent would have been easy. Then there’s Stuttgart, [...]
Samuel Eto’o out for 2 months
By: Isaiah | 6 Comments
During the Gamper Cup last night, Samuel Eto’o came on as a second half sub and promptly tore a muscle in his right calf (which could be a tendon in his thigh). I was watching and the injury was without contact and didn’t look like anything at all, except that Eto’o was definitely on the [...]
Barcelona - Inter Milan (The Gamper Trophy) preview
By: Isaiah | 7 Comments
The details: FC Barcelona vs Internazionale Milano; Wednesday 4pmEST at the Estadio Camp Nou.
So, it’s another year, another semi-to-completely-meaningless trophy up for grabs. Sure, this is “an extraordinary event” if you listen to Barca’s official site, but does it really mean anything? Not to me, unless you count “gelling our team a little more” as [...]
Racing de Santander 0 - 0 Barcelona: Highlights and commentary
By: Isaiah | 7 Comments
Naturally I didn’t get to watch this game as it wasn’t broadcast here in los estados unidos, but I did get to read some hot off-the-presses commentary in both the English and Spanish media and that was fantastic. I was planning on going to Nevada Smith’s for the game, as a special treat to myself [...]
Ronaldinho becomes a Spanish citizen

And Ronaldinho is a Spanish citizen. That’s about all there is to say about that, other than pointing out, again, that Gio Dos Santos is now free to join the first team, regardless of his citizenship.
Racing - Barcelona, a quick rundown
By: Isaiah | 14 Comments
Gametime: Sunday 1pm EST (live on GolTV, unless the threatened suspension of television rights for the game happens. Let’s hope not! For an explanation of why this is happening, go read this: Spanish / Google Translator English)
It’s the first match of the new season and so it’s the first preview of the season (imagine that). [...]
Ronaldinho to become a Spanish citizen
By: Isaiah | No Comments
Just a bit of good news for Barcelona fans: Ronaldinho will become a Spanish citizen on Monday, meaning that Gio Dos Santos will be able to officially join the first team and play in La Liga games regardless of whether or not he becomes a citizen. There are 3 non-EU spots available to La Liga [...]
Juliano Belletti to Chelsea
By: Isaiah | 8 Comments
Juliano Belletti has transfered to Chelski for 5.5m in a somewhat surprising move. I didn’t really see that coming, despite the fact that I read all the of the trash rumor papers I can get my hands on while I’m at work. While I understand leaving the Camp Nou in search of more playing time [...]
