By: Isaiah |

I left work early today to go home and watch the Barca-Zaragoza game and I’m definitely glad I did. The game was well and truly killed off by Marquez’s first half extra time goal to make it 4-1. The other goals were by Messi (2) and Iniesta (Zaragoza’s was by Zapater). A quick stastical peak […]

By: Isaiah | 12 Comments
When it was announced that the Camp Nou was going to be renovated/refurbished, I thought it was a fantastic idea. You make the largest stadium in Europe a little bigger and maybe replace anything that’s ailing (be it physical infrastructure or how they distribute beer). I figured a slight makeover for the outside consisting of […]
Barcelona - Zaragoza: Wednesday 4pm EST
By: Isaiah | 1 Comment
Naturally the sports media and even Barca’s official site is lauding Wednesday’s matchup with Zaragoza as the battle of the Militos. They should be playing relatively near each other, if not specifically matching up continuously. I’m under the impression that Diego plays on the right side most of the time, so maybe they will be […]
Barcelona 2 - 1 Sevilla: Review and Highlights (I heart Toure edition)
By: Isaiah | 3 Comments
While everyone else is lauding the brilliance of Messi during Saturday’s 2-1 defeat of Sevilla at the Camp Nou, I think it would be wrong of me not to start this post by nominating Andres Iniesta as the Man-of-the-Match. Prior to Saturday I had answered a poll held by El Mundo Deportivo as to whether […]
Barcelona - Sevilla: Saturday 4pm EST

There has been some debate on whether or not this game will be shown, but as attentive reader John pointed out in a comment to a previous post, the rival TV companies MediaPro and Sogecable who have until now kept all but 2 La Liga games per weekend from being shown through a rights dispute, […]
Barcelona 3 - 0 Lyon: Review and Highlights
By: Isaiah | 9 Comments
Wow! I didn’t see this coming at all. I privately forecasted a 2-1 victory that I thought was perhaps being a little optimistic, but it turned out my pessimism didn’t take into account the fact that Lyon wasn’t going to show up. My man of the match is Toure Yaya, without a doubt. He shut […]
Camp Nou-er: Norman Foster and the Catalan Wembley?
By: Isaiah | No Comments
FC Barcelona’s official site has announced that Norman Foster, chief architect behind the remodeling of Wembley, will lead the way in the remodeling of the Camp Nou. Not that stadiums are his thing, though. It’s quite the opposite, really. Here is a list of what he’s done so far, as well as a brief bio […]

Tomorrow’s Champions League squad is as follows:

Potential European debuts for Toure, Abidal, Milito, Gio, and Bojan while Messi and Marquez return to the squad after missing out on the Osasuna draw through injury and suspension, respectively. […]
Back from vacation

Hey, everyone, I’m back from vacation just in time for the Champions League to kick off. I’m not going to bother writing up a preview for the Lyon game, as exciting as it will be, because I’ve got to get my life back into working order (which mainly involves getting lots of sleep, eating American […]

My long awaited vacation is now here and even though it’s only 10 days (6 working days), it will certainly be awesome, relaxing, and extremely hard on my liver. Destination: Heróica Puebla de Zaragoza, a little hamlet of about 2 million a couple hours southwest of Mexico City.
Anyway, here are highlights of Barcelona’s 2-3 win […]
