You all know how this works. I’d say let’s keep suggestions within the bounds of good taste, but I know how you kids are!
Have fun.

Review: Chivas 1 – 1 Barça, AKA Holy Canteranos, Batman!
By: Isaiah | 280 Comments
Last night Chivas (Guadalajara) drew with Barcelona in the final match of FCB’s American tour. As I write this, the team is already back in Barcelona, probably not resting on laurels, especially not one Tall Ass Swede (TAS). There are a lot of things to take from this particular tour, most of which are positive.
First, [...]

And no bleating noises, you savages!
This wraps up our pre-season action, as the lads return home to prepare in earnest for the real season debut, the Gamper Trophy match. As this will be the last real game conditions tune-up, expect to see some real lineups, and some serious looks at the kiddies.
I know you’re [...]

We’re back to non-HD, sadly, meaning we’re going to have squint a bit (even on the bigass TVs) to see if it’s Pique, Muniesa, or Fontas out there. Puyol, at least, is always identifiable. It’s the final preseason game for Barcelona unless you count the Gamper as preseason — I don’t because it’s after the [...]
Seattle Sounders 0, Barca 4, a.k.a. “Let’s talk about The Kid.”
By: Kevin | 55 Comments
Here we have the man of the hour, The Kid. He could have had a hat trick before the end of the first half against the Seattle Sounders, a club whose fans deserve a lot more credit than the players, who really seemed more interested in not getting having the slaughter rule applied.
The pitch was [...]
Barca v Seattle Sounders match comments post
By: Kevin | 300 Comments
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 [...]

“I look down at everything you mere mortals throw at me, because my ambition is so much bigger.”*
The U.S. tour continues, this time in Seattle vs the Sounders. Training has been going along and these matches are part of it. Again, we should see wholesale substitutions as everybody gets a runout (except for The Nose, [...]
Barca 2, L.A. Galaxy 1, a.k.a. “Paaaaayyydroooo!”

Pedro! is ready. Even if the rest of the squad isn’t. Buried on the official site in a recent post, along with birthday wishes for He Who Is No Longer Pedrito, was the news that he had been promoted to the A team.
And man, is he ready.
We saw glimpses of what was possible for him [...]
Hey! Whoa! Preseason! Barca v L.A. Galaxy, 10 p.m. CT, Fox Soccer Channel

It’s kinda funny when the best player in the world isn’t a whole lot bigger than the kids who idolize him. I’m just saying.
Barca’s United States tour kicks off in earnest tonight vs David Beckham, Landon Donovan and the Los Angeles Galaxy. If it isn’t a sellout it’s pretty close, and it [...]
Barca 1, Tottenham Hotspur 1, a.k.a. “Them kids ain’t half bad.”
By: Kevin | 105 Comments
Yes, like the cat that swallowed the canary, goeth the face of The Yaya, who said “My, my, but these kids aren’t quite with my grownup program. Let me showeth the way.”
And off he went, from deep midfield, on a run that would be Messi-like, were our little Argentine the size of Jupiter. Instead, it [...]
