    CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

    Camera just caught Pedro rolling his eyes to one of his teammates. Presumably joking about him coming in during the important moments. I understand his frustration totally, always loved him. But that's not good to see. Seems he's had enough of being second fiddle?:(

    CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

    B team is a bit strong. But I don't think anybody can honestly say the outcome would likely have been the same if Robben, at the very least, was healthy. Alas, that is part of sport.

    CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

    Compare this Dani Alves to the guy we saw floating around with awful crosses and random turnovers early the year/all of last season. Glad that other guy got killed off. All players say they want to stay, but I think Alves means it big time. He may be earning himself an extension here..

    CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

    Not to be douchey, I know this happens every game but ...if Neymar got a red for diving, as he could have...well..

    CL semis: Bayern - Barca 3-2 (3-5 agg.)

    If not for Nuer, it would be 5-0. Tie is obviously in a great position, but it's not over at 3-0. Look to Porto. I get it; Barca is not fucking Porto. But nonetheless.. Anyway...Top ten matches I've ever seen. Beautiful.

    Lliga: Barca - Valencia 2-0

    Adriano, defensively, was just...yikes. Big fan of his, hugely valuable squad player, but I had forgotten than his 1v1 defense is that shocking. I didn't read the box score but he must have had at least 86 fouls resulting in dangerous free kicks. Agree w/ the rest of the lads, 3 points against...

    Lliga: (El Clasico) FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 2-1

    Never in a million years did I think Pique had it in him to be this good. He's the best defender in the world. For years, I never rated him.

    Luis Enrique

    I don't know what the Vegas lines are, but I can tell you my bookie says the odds of us going w/o a trophy are better than the odds of us winning a treble. Here's to hoping and everything but...nobody in Spain looks capable of playing with Bayern right now.

    CL: Barca - Man City 1-0 (3-1 agg.)

    I thought Mascherano had a 9.2/10 performance. Several critical tackles, and even the foul he gave away early in the match was intelligent/necessary due to Neymar's turnover. City were looking like scoring there. Still feeling good about our chances but there is no way yaya shits the bed in...

    CL: Barca - Man City 1-0 (3-1 agg.)

    I don't know, man. Not a nice thing to say but.. They aren't wrong.

    CL: Barca - Man City 1-0 (3-1 agg.)

    Press is saying Messi was "mesmerizing." Really? He looked OK to me at best. ...I mean, he was good. But by his own big game standards I'd rate that at a mediocre performance. A solid dozen sloppy turnovers in our own half came from Messi, one of which lead to City's goal. Dani was pretty...

    Lliga: Getafe CF - FC Barcelona 0-0

    Lucho's comments after the match are a fireable offense. Any Catalan speaker feel free to disagree with me. He has no idea what he's in charge of. Or, he doesn't respect it. There is no alternative option. We have a small time nobody in charge of the greatest club in the world, and the board...

    Lliga: Getafe CF - FC Barcelona 0-0

    The Whites were shit yesterday until Isco scored a magical goal against the run of play. For comparison sake.

    Lliga: Getafe CF - FC Barcelona 0-0

    There appears to be no clear-cut attacking philosophy with this side. In our prime we were a very one-dimensional attack in terms of philosophy. But we were so good at it that this didn't matter. In the glory years, the only real "tactic" outside of clinical, tight passing was that Pep...

    Champions League: FC Barcelona - Paris Saint Germain 3-1

    Catched an American broadcast on BE-in Sport. Huge mistake. They updated all the other matches in live time with scores. Why do American broadcasts insist on doing this in 2014? They ruin the other matches for tens of thousands (Hundreds?) of us who want to watch the other matches. If I want to...

    Martin Montoya

    I think the exagerrations of what Montoya have shown in high-levels matches is pretty weird ITT. Not being arrogant or dismissive of the majority opinion here, but we have clearly watched a different player blossom. I see Montoya on top 7 Italian club or mid-table Spanish club, having a nice...

    Daniel Alves

    I share the collective dissapointment at what Dani brings to the table in this campaign. While I like Montoya a lot, I don't rate him, either. I think that spot is just a bonafide weakness in our side.
