Holy crap! Who knew that Guardiola and Rijkaard exchanged the Barca playbook? Or wait a minute….GolTV fooled us, and showed a match from last season, with the current away strip PhotoShopped onto the players.
No, wait….it was all a dream. I’ll wake up and it will be just before match time, and I will witness [...]
The curtain rises….what will we see? Barca v Numancia, Sunday at noon CT, GolTV
By: Kevin | 78 Comments
Numancia is the first lamb to the slaughter. This season is an odd one. Many Blaugrana are saying that the league wants to guarantee another trophy for the Evil Empire by assuring that they play the sides that we play the week before. This holds throughout the season.
The theory is that there are two [...]
As the Camp Nou Turns: the Barça telenovela
By: Isaiah | 7 Comments
I’ve spent my fair share of time with TV Azteca and nothing really beats a cold caguama of Indio and a sizzling hot hour of Amor en Custodia. But somehow, the last year or so in “Can Barça” has made all those kidnappings, love triangles, evil twins, and diamond smuggling grandpas look like child’s play.
For [...]

Happy Birthday, Bojan!

The little one is now 18 and he’s a full grown man. In my country, that means he can legally vote, buy cigarettes, go to war, and also go to “Federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison”. But he can’t drink. Maybe he should be sent across the pond for the summers so he doesn’t get into trouble. And [...]
Wisla Cracow 1, Barca 0, a.k.a. “You left food on your plate, young man!”
By: Kevin | 25 Comments
An unfinished meal. That’s what this match was, the away leg of a two-legged tie that saw Barca roll into Wisla’s home with an insurmountable 4-0 lead. And in the first half, they played like it. It’s really difficult to spot guys a 4-0 lead and expect them to play with the same intensity and [...]

By: Isaiah | 26 Comments
It’s 4-0 to Barcelona on aggregate heading into the second leg of this Champions League qualifier against Wisła Kraków, but this shouldn’t be a cakewalk if recent league form has a say in the matter. Wisła is 3-0-0 in the league, with 5 goals scored and one allowed. Naturally it’s Paweł Brożek that has scored [...]
Brazil v Argentina in Olympic footy, a.k.a. The Granddaddy of Them All (until El Clasico, that is)

Okay, we have some down time before we put Wisla to the sword on the 27th, and what better way to spend it than cheering for a homeboy, the Argy Bargy, the Fleet Fireplug, the Little Midfielder That Could, Lionel Messi.
As we’ve all been witnessing, he’s been tearing it up for Argentina, almost single-handedly getting [...]

Yee. Freakin’. Haa! This triumphant pose, struck by our saviour, also perfectly captures my mood after today’s Trofeo Joan Gamper victory. I don’t give a hairless rat’s ass that this was an exhibition. I don’t care how ticky-tacky Boca played. I don’t even care about the sad reports that it took Boca 40 minutes to [...]
Barca 4, Wisla Krakow 0, a.k.a. “This could be the start of something big”
By: Kevin | 60 Comments
This picture was chosen for a very good reason, one that is as good as any to start this match report with: Henry and Eto’o.
The months have gone, Eto’o was put up for sale, and Guardiola said that Henry would be his main man. Cules cried foul, everybody beat up on Kxevin for daring to [...]
