Hello, my name is Tuomas. I’m 28 years old and I’m from Finland.
I have never been a huge fan of football, except for the one season when playing in the Ilves Kaukajarvi –team (as a 9 years old boy). We were rubbish, losing all our games and scoring only twise in the season (one very controversial goal by me and one beatiful goal by a youngster who was playing only one game as a reinforcement from the younger team). After that first touch I have not been very interested about football, eventhough I have allways had a close friend circle with many football enthusiasts.
To make a long and boring story short, everything changed this summer when wisiting Barcelona for two weeks. Man, I’m allmost lost for words when trying to descripe the general atmosphere concerning Barca… It really seems to be like religion for locals (and of course for football tourists too). The last straw for me was trip to Camp Nou and FCB Museum. I think I don’t have to explain this any better in here, it was like a magic. I truly felt like cule from that point on.
After returning home I have enjoyed souveniers bought from FCBotiga and tried to study everything about Barca. Soon I noticed that this forum seems to be a great source of information. I guess I won’t be writing much, at least at the beginning, but I’ll be reading a lot. I’m afraid that my English isn’t correct all the time, but I try my best to make my point clear.
My main focus at the moment is to find out the best possible way to watch Barca matches from TV or from some Internet source. I would like to watch matches leagally, but I’m afraid that BarcaTV doesn’t offer any kind of Interned feed.
