I know you’re [...]
Barca v Seattle Sounders match comments post
By: Kevin |Starting lineup: Pinto, Alves, Puyol, Abidal, Fontas, Abidal, VicSan, Busquets, Xavi, Henry, Krkic, Messi
Valdes and Marquez are nursing niggling little things, and Iniesta is still recovering from his injury/intestinal thing.
This one’s pretty close to a real-life starting XI, so we should see some interesting stuff tonight. Will our lads go up like a Space [...]
Barca vs Seattle Sounders, 9:30 p.m. CT, ESPN2
By: Kevin |“I look down at everything you mere mortals throw at me, because my ambition is so much bigger.”*

Hey, whoa, real footy, a.k.a. Confederations Cup gets decided today
By: Kevin |So, a funny thing happened on the way to the Spain Invitational. La Furia Roja lost to a scrappy United States side, courtesy of a most excellent assist from one Sergio Ramos, and some matador defense.
Which means they’re playing for third place. Some say they dumped the match to keep from having to lug around [...]
Confederations Cup match comments post
By: Kevin |It’s Spain vs Iraq, a bus-parking, potentially sacrificial lamb, looking to 0-0 its way through the group stage.

Ugh.
At any rate, here’s a place for those match comments but mostly, here’s a [...]
Whew! Football time again (sort of), a.k.a. Confederations Cup is on!
By: Kevin |Yes, it’s big. Damn right it’s big. This picture of Xavi is big because he isn’t just our biggest player, but Spain’s.
It’s Confederations Cup time, the 8-team tourney that some are calling the Spanish Invitational. Brazil might have something to say about that, however.
The 8 sides are: Gp A: Spain, New Zealand, South Africa, [...]

By: Kevin |Y’all know the drill. Lineups, bouquets (not Busquets), brickbats and various match-related natterings, all go here.
The pic is from our 3-1 win over Mallorca at the Camp Nou, with Captain Caveman doing what he does best.
Have fun!
