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 [...]

Barcelona vs Zaragoza (Redemption!)

By: Cameron | Comments 8 Comments

My world is crushed. Everything I believed in is finished. How could this happen? We were led to believe that something this obscene, accursed and unfathomable could never happen, and yet. . .it did. I’ll never forget where I was in the 90th minute when Daniel Alves went chasing nothing, and [...]

Barcelona Vs Rubin Kazan: Bez Buldırabız!

By: Ramzi | Comments 42 Comments

If I say that once upon a time a nation fought for independence and for protecting its unique culture. You will say Catalonia.
If I ask you about the Capital of that Nation, you will say Barcelona.
Now if I will say that the mentioned nation had to face an extreme regime, you will say that’s  Franco’s.
You [...]

Champions League Pregame 1 (Eto’o’s Return..kinda)

By: Iggy | Comments 13 Comments

First off, sorry about the lack of activity, I’ve had exams (thank you Kxevin for the support).
Now to Business. It’s our first Champions League game and destiny wanted Eto’o to come back to Our Cathedral, but destiny can wait a few weeks while we visit Italy to see him there. There has been tons of [...]

Supercup Part III (The European Edition) Preview

By: Iggy | Comments 10 Comments

So what with all the hubbub about the Champions Leagues groups being decided (we’re in group F with Inter, Dynamo Kiev and Rubin Kazan), lets not let this game go unnoticed. Shakhtar is a strong team, albeit not as strong ever since we officially got their Caveman Chygnasty. This is the team that we had [...]

Whoa, wait….ANOTHER one?! a.k.a. “More kids! More kids!” Barca v Al Ahly, 7:30 a.m. CT, ESPN Deportes

By: Kevin | Comments 193 Comments

Kids are like goats. No matter what you tell ‘em to do, they go and defy you, well….because they’re kids.
Scenes of Guardiola upbraiding Assulin for being too funky with the ball instead of just getting the job done, were mirthful, I am told. And in the second half, the exasperation present in his entire body, [...]

Barca 1, Tottenham Hotspur 1, a.k.a. “Them kids ain’t half bad.”

By: Kevin | Comments 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 [...]

Whew! Football time again (sort of), a.k.a. Confederations Cup is on!

By: Kevin | Comments 375 Comments

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, [...]
