February 1, 2009 is one of those rare Sundays when La Liga takes precedence over all on GolTV. There will be three (3) matches shown consecutively, just in case you wish to watch Barcelona, Valencia, and Sevilla all in a row. Because I’m moving on Sunday to my new abode and will miss the match, [...]
Barca 3, Espanyol 2, a.k.a. “Lie down with dogs….”

I know, I know. But this is probably going to be Pique’s only opportunity this season to be featured in the match report, shown here in ecstasy after he struck what turned out to be the match winner, off a perfect pass from (who else?) Dani Alves.
This was a game that shouldn’t have been what [...]

It’s the second leg of the Copa del Rey match with local rivals Espanyol and we’re looking at a 0-0 aggregate scoreline. It means that in order to progress, FCB must win the match outright. No silly combo of draws or losses will help [...]

Barca 4, Numancia 1, a.k.a. “A LOT closer than it seemed, or not.”

Before I begin this report, spare your own personal moment of silence for the lives ravaged by the high winds in Spain and southwestern France. The death toll is at 15, including 4 children from the town of Sant Boi de Llobregat, near Barcelona, who were seeking shelter after halting their baseball game. Before the [...]

Please put your Numancia comments here. I’ll be at Phoenix Landing in Central Square, Cambridge today if you’re in the area and want to grab a beer with myself and my brother (who knows nothing about the game except that he loves it when they scream GOOOOL; he probably loves Ray Hudson too but doesn’t [...]

Venganza. That’s the word for this match. Revenge, vengeance, getting even, retribution, or whatever else you want to call it (thanks, Thesaurus.com!), that’s what we’re after in this one. The only team in league play — indeed the only Spanish team at all — to beat us this year is, of all teams, Numancia. If [...]

This is the place where you can post your comments about the match today. I’ll add the squad list and starting lineup as soon as I see it.
For the moment, however, permit me a brief rant about the absurdity of fines in modern day soccer. A short while ago Barcelona was fined €4500 for allowing [...]

My brain, right now: “Copaderbicopaderbicopaderbicopaderbicopaderbicopaderbicopaderbi,” breath, “Copaderbicopaderbicopaderbicopaderbicopaderbi.” I’m going to get so pump for this game, be unable to watch it on GolTV thanks to Inter-Roma in the Coppa Italia being shown instead, perhaps be able to stream it on the onlines, discover that my internet is still out at home as it has been [...]
