El Jefecito, no doubt; in spite of as much of a Villa fan that I am. In fact, I've always been puzzled by the general lack of appreciation for Mascherano's contribution, always picking only on the bad things, which all players have during a game. Almost sounds like some may resent him as a...

Nope. Not only American sports. Actually, what would be the answer from every La Liga team fan or player (other than RM or Barca) about winning La Liga, or CdelR, or CL, and whether they'd care if they didn't necessarily win the games "in style", but they just won them and that gave them the...

It felt good watching Dani's great overall performance...and then there's that monster of a shot as icing on the cake. Thanks, Dani!!!

Huh, BTW, as it usually happens here, the original subject (Pinto) was taken into a different subject: "winning with style". If you have a great accountant in a firm, who does a superior job and saves the company a lot of money, only that once in a long while, he f...s up BIG time and causes...

Great! We don't care about winning if it doesn't happen with style. Therefore, if the Patriots, or Lakers, or Federer or Rafa have any pride, they rather not win if it isn't with style. I'm going to Wiki this issue to search 'cause I may just learn that in Mars, or the back side of the Moon...

I never said anything about money, but it certainly IS about winning. Ask a Laker, ask a New England Patriot, ask Federer. Why do we spend a bundle on Cesc and Alexis? Because we want to lose? It IS about winning. What planet are you from?

Barca is the top team in the world; it has a reputation and a record to defend and to keep as shiny as possible under any circumstances. That is what being a winner means. The team has to give the very best, from coach to players and this becomes particularly critical against RM. All this means...

Seriously, now they may say whatever they want, such as "it's just another game", "they were lucky", "we're still three points ahead (theoretically)", etc. But the fact still remains that all of the following HAD TO BE in their minds all along, albeit "secretly", but there all the same: 1. This...

Based on actual performance, I don't understand why so many are not giving Fabregas the starting spot and the credit that he deserves. So far this year, he has contributed to the team far more than Villa or Pedro could dream of. Cest has a far better view of the field and he has much better...

Just for the heck I went and browsed through a few videos. Left and right, no trends. No idea where this 99.9% comes from.

That one IS fine. Not sure if deserved, but fine with me. Thx.

I think this whole thing is mental, including the PK miss. I was paying attention to Messi's PK's technique by observing his PK’s since last season and I have kind of figured out why he’s been so good at it. I’ve noticed that he does everything during the last few milliseconds previous to...

Well, I guess that I can look at this from a different perspective: Had Valdes not saved just one of those inminent goals, Villa's effort would've been in vane... Everything is relative.

Valdes, no doubt. However, no votes for Villa? Without Villa’s personal effort with his spectacular goal, all of Valdes’ memorable effort would’ve been for nothing. This gathers much more meaning when our scoring opportunities were so few and we truly needed a miracle. Villa gave us that...

On today's issue of a Chilean newspaper that's been following the Sanchez deal pretty close, they say that Udinese has set the fee at US$39 mil (E26.75mil) PLUS Bojan. That would leave almost 20 mil left for the Rossi deal, only problem is that Villareal has already clearly stated that they want...

May be Pep needs to get a little more aggressive in this respect by forcing himself to giving those players more play time for their growth's sake. This could be exercised during games that look fairly comfortable and against weaker opposition, second half where not much risk is apparent. Keep...

While I do realize that we beat the best of the English in the CL, and twice in the last three years, I still like what the top English teams do in regards to bench and to the number of well rated players to rotate with. ManU had Nani and Berva off the field to start the CL final and those are...

What we vote here does not force Barca to do anything. It's a poll, for Heaven's sake!

I thought it'd be interesting to add a "Both" choice to the poll? I wonder how that choice would fare against the existing ones.

Hello my fellow Barca fans! I've been coming here as a reader frequently, but I could no longer resist the urge to chip in with my take, so I'm in! I'm from what's called "the beach cities" in the Los Angeles area and I've been enjoying European football, and La Liga and specifically and...
