Heyyyyoooo it’s Barcelona hosting Villarreal in a must-win match. Not draw, not lose, but win. Outright. By putting more goals in the net than the other team. Anyone not clear on this? Rijkaard, any questions? Ronaldinho is back, in the squad, if not necessarily the starting lineup and perhaps Messi giving it 90 minutes on […]

It looks like we won’t be earning the Triple this year as Barcelona dropped 2 more “golden points” to Madrid by drawing 1-1 at San Mamés and fall to 9 points behind the “champions” from the capital. And as one reader pointed out in previous comments, they’re doing it with the style normally found at […]
Villarreal - Barcelona: Copa del Rey preview, in brief
By: Isaiah | 26 Comments
It’s the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, first leg at El Madrigal, a place that hasn’t been kind to us this season (see 3-1 loss), but we’ve got our little “talisman” back and Lionel Messi might just prove the difference. He was there for that loss, of course, but that was a tragicomic moment in the […]

It’s another match at the Camp Nou, the third in a row, and the hope is that Barcelona can take advantage of Real Madrid visiting the Calderon — assuming that RM slips up, of course. Racing comes calling on Sunday at 3pm EST, broadcast on GolTV as per usual. The big news, of course, is […]

Barcelona - Sevilla: Copa del Rey 2nd leg

It’s 1-1 and we’ve got to make a statement. It’s more of a statement game than Murcia because, despite the 4-0 scoreline, it was Murcia and this is the UEFA Cup defending champ. This is the game where Frank can make up for all he seems to have lost over the last year. If that’s […]
How to deserve to lose

Purely hypothetically let’s say you’re the manager of a famous club and your team is drawing 1-1 away during the first leg of a cup tie. Naturally you have several options open to you because, as has been previously stated, your club is famous and therefore has several world-class players on the bench. Just a […]
Sevilla - Barcelona: Copa del Rey preview + randomness

It’s January and a soccer blogger of even my stature would be remiss if he or she didn’t cover a couple of the rumblings in the press about who is going where and when. There are a handful of keepers to keep an eye on, really, as Barcelona look for both a long term replacement […]

It’s the new year, the new half of the season (sort of, 2 more games before the real halftime), so I’m back fresh, hopefully along with a fresh team; we’ve got a Copa del Rey second leg match, an injured reserve keeper, and seven points to make up. And, to be honest, I’m excited. Ah, […]
