I know, we don’t get the high-def ESPN2 feed. Ripoff!
It’s April Fool’s Day on this matchday, everyone, but since we’ve already played our cruel trick on Saturday against Betis, t’would be my vast, vast preference if we just rolled into Schalke’s home and got knee deep in that ass.
Betis 3, Barcelona 2, a.k.a. “We were done, what happened?”

Shhhhhh! We have this super-secret picture of Frank Rijkaard, taken just after today’s match.
Is he the goat? Yes. Unequivocally. I run a section at a major metro news daily and I tell my staff, “We succeed, and I screw up.” That’s Management 101. To sit on the bench and watch your team self-destruct like that….to [...]

In a world obsessed with little orange globes being thrown at metal circles 10 feet in the air by amateurs (that would be my world), there comes a ray of shining hope: Real Betis hosts FC Barcelona. I just had to rewrite my entire opening to this post because it was just announced that the [...]

Our beloved Kevin is now an official member of the Offside blogging community! We haven’t yet divvied up the various regular posts, but I’m sure that we’ll be seeing an increase in news and posts in general, plus a few mega posts about whatever comes to mind.

[Updated version]
Eight Barcelona players have been called up to play for their national sides in friendlies this week. Spain has called upon Puyol, Xavi, and Iniesta to play Italy and Zambrotta. I’m sure they’ll slide in hard against each other. Abidal and Thuram got the call from France, as did Henry, but the latter withdrew [...]

In order to prevent traveling barcelonistas from having to miss a game or two while on the road, I thought it a good idea to go ahead and list, as well as possible, all the great places to watch FCB throughout the world. This will not be a comprehensive list by any means, but will [...]

Hooooorrraaaaaayyyyyy!!!!
It looks like our heroes will be making a trip across “the pond” this coming summer. According to the NYTimes (last week, and I missed it!), one FC Barcelona is 99% certain of playing in New York and Chicago in early August. Yours truly will goddamned be there, goddammit. I went when they played Red [...]
Barca 4, Valladolid 1, a.k.a. the “Flatter to Deceive” edition, a.k.a. “And then there were four”

Four points, baby! Four. Freakin’. Points. Kevin in the house again for Isaiah, wanting to wait until after the Evil Empire/Valencia match to post this match report, so that I could say, once again:
Four. Freakin’. Points.
Ray Hudson cracked me up with his “man of the match” debate, as if there could be any doubt. No, [...]

Spare some love for me, up here amid the winter wonderland that is Highland Park, Illinois. 11 inches of snow, kids, on the second day of spring. Yum! On the up side, I have all-wheel-drive and snow tires on my car. On the down side, nobody else seems to. Go figure. Slideways is goodways.
Anyhow….
It’s Kevin [...]
