The more I watch Xavi play, the more I want to watch him play. His passes are exquisite... magisterial even. j/k.

Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta and Eto'o showed real drive to win the trophy. Winning is a good habit to be in... whatever the competition. I don't really think that anyone will be moving up from last season's Barca B. Corcoles, Busquets, Pedro and Jeffren were all ok, Jeffren about the most impressive including tracking back, but none were of the standard we set ourselves. Pedro and Jeffren were closer in level but I would still prefer Arshavin or Thiago Neves to either. IMO Pique was probably man of the match, very solid defensively, good ball skills and distribution and wasn't beaten in the air. I don't know why Pep didn't have Henry and Eto'o on the pitch at the same time considering they will have to develop a very important relationship. Eto'o looked extremely motivated which was great. Pinto came up with some very good saves. Xavi was great as usual. Iniesta was much better at bringing the ball forward than Hleb and Gudjohnsen, even though his finishing left something to be desired.

I don't think this "B" Squad can take us to the finals of Spanish Cup...who knows what the "A" team would have done...I'd be pissed if I payed money for this one...in fact I am pissed I could've washed my car and came back for the end.
