Forgive any typos you might find in this post, as I find that typing whilst bouncing gleefully on your seat and humming “Tot el camp” is not conductive to good spelling.
Yesterday’s was one of those pretty, gleeful matches that culés (and football aficionados everywhere) can only sit back and enjoy while they happen, and then [...]
FC Barcelona vs Cultural Leonesa: how to play in the midst of a stampede. An international stampede.
By: Ade C. | 13 Comments
Yes, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. FC Barcelona players have way too much class to trample anyone in their rush to leave for international pastures. I assume they will politely excuse themselves before leaving, but the point remains that someone is going to actually have to go on the pitch to defend the 0-2 [...]
Cultural Leonesa 0, Barça 2, a.k.a. “Pedrito to the rescue (again)!”

It probably wasn’t one of Barça’s most thrilling matches, but then again, when you field a team of youngsters against a third division team, you can’t expect an earth-shattering performance, can you? (well, yes, you could expect it, but you shouldn’t)
With Real Madrid’s precedent of losing 4-0 to a Segunda B team the day before, [...]

Today is the day in which we embark in yet another competition. F.C. Barcelona enters the Copa del Rey race with a thrilling match against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, a modest team that is currently sitting at the lower end of its group table in Segunda B (the third-tier league), currently risking slipping into Tercera [...]

So. This is a bit of housekeeping that should have been done days ago, but we can thank GolTV for not showing the freakin’ Copa final, for that. Having caught up with the Fox Soccer broadcast, we can now revel in the visual joys of our first piece of silver this weekend.
And I’ll be brief [...]

First, some important information: it appears that GolTV will not be broadcasting the game live thanks to the 2:30pmEST kickoff time of the Coppa Italia final between Lazio and Sampdoria. It is possible that the game will be aired on tape delay (of 30 minutes) after the Lazio-Sampdoria game, but the GolTV schedule says nothing [...]
Real Mallorca 1, Barca 1, a.k.a. “Peeeeennntoooo!”

There he is, kids, practicing his mad ninja skills just in case the Jedi mind trick didn’t work, Jose Manuel Pinto, who deserves a nickname of his own. So the contest is open, boys and grills. For today, however, let’s just say that his nickname is Man of the Freakin’ Match.
Kinda long, but it has [...]
Copa Preview: Mallorca – Barça, Wednesday 4pmEST, GolTV

If you’re wondering what to do with the disproportionate amount of hope floating around in your chest, El Mundo Deportivo is about as bored as you are and is half-gleeful and half-panicky in its announcement that their Facebook group called “We Believe” (Creemos) has 5,000 members! OMG. And in case you’re unfamiliar with Facebook, EMD [...]
Barca 2, Mallorca 0, a.k.a. “Welcome to the Camp Nou workshop.”
By: Kevin | 57 Comments
Team win, in a very workmanlike way. In many ways this was about the match that I expected. Anybody who doesn’t think that the lads weren’t conserving energy out there is kidding themselves.
Mallorca put up a brave fight, but the simple reality is that were it not for a keeper playing crazy football and [...]
