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 [...]

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 [...]

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.”

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 [...]
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 [...]

Picture pulled from this Flickr account. Also check out this collection.
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 [...]
