Barca 0, Chelsea 0, a.k.a. “For the absentees.”

By: Kevin | Comments 101 Comments

I’m a little frustrated and disgusted by this one. Football is a game of inches at times and really, we were feet away, held in check by a Chelsea side that had absolutely no interest in doing anything more than defend. And why should they? We’re at home. It’s our job to take it to [...]

Here he is, ladies and gentlemen, the key to our Champions League hopes against Chelsea, a player whose recent run of form has reduced even Lionel Messi to open-mouthed astonishment.
Yes, it’s our very own translucent gem of a midfielder, Andres Iniesta.
Is everybody ready? I hope so, because it’s GO TIME!
There have been predictions, including all [...]

Valencia 2, Barca 2, a.k.a. “Keepers giveth and taketh away.”

By: Kevin | Comments 153 Comments

Yes, this is a very strategic image selection, and one that marks a first: Gudjohnsen for Xavi was a difference maker in a match.

Preview: Valencia – Barcelona, Saturday 4pmEST, GolTV

By: Isaiah | Comments 28 Comments

This is going to be brief and to the point: Valencia, you’re next. Okay, not that short. It’s not like Valencia isn’t a good team whose players are currently being given monetary compensation for their time on the field or anything. That couldn’t happen in the Spanish Primera.
Hmm.
Valencia is, actually, a very good team on [...]

Barca 4, Sevilla 0, a.k.a. “The Iniesta Show.”

By: Kevin | Comments 40 Comments

Happy Dia de Sant Jordi, everyone! Tradition has it that women get roses, and men get books.
Well getting a book for everyone on the list would take a lot of time and postage, so I’ll settle for this match report for your reading pleasure, one that is all about movement.

Preview: Barcelona – Sevilla, Wednesday 4:45pmEST GolTV (Tape Delay)

By: Isaiah | Comments 188 Comments

[Please note: this game is not being broadcast in the US live by GolTV. It will have a 45-minute tape delay because of the Juve-Lazio Coppa Italia match that starts at 2:45 instead of, you know, a normal time. Or it might not be played at all. Just depends, you know?]
Two La Liga games in [...]
