Help a cule brotha out!
Before I get to the preview of Tuesday’s all-important match against ManU at Old Trafford, I’d like to cover something that is very close to my heart: This summer, my brother and I are going on a 3-week European vacation in July. And ...

El Clásico!
El Clásico!
I know that the rumors about who is leaving and who is arriving are flying thick and fast from all over the world (should we get Anakin Skywalker Rodrigo Palacio? How about Jozy Altidore, David Villa, or Peter Parker?), but there is something much ...

Manchester United - Barcelona: Champions League, Tuesday 2:45pmEST
This. Is. It. There’s no tomorrow, no next match . We’re in it to win or we’re out on the street. The whole season, all the good and all the bad, have led up to this moment, this game, these 90 minutes. Everything bad can be ...

A few tidbits and oh yeah, Messi is out
First, foremost, top of the list is Lionel Messi’s injury. It’s a hamstring injury that will keep him out for six weeks. Yes, we’re through to the quarterfinals of the Champions League (hip! hip!) thanks to a 1-0 win over Celtic ...

Barcelona 0 - 0 ManU: Stalemate in Spain Edition
So what’s to say about a game that ended 0-0 with few shots on goal? Well, first, thank you for missing that penalty Cronaldo. That’s the first thing. The second thing is to scratch my head and wonder how it is that Barcelona ...

Betis 3, Barcelona 2, a.k.a. “We were done, what happened?”
Shhhhhh! We have this super-secret picture of Frank Rijkaard , taken just after today’s match. Is he the goat? Yes. Unequivocally. I run a section at a major metro news daily and I tell my staff, “We succeed, and I screw up.” ...

Champions League preview: Schalke vs Barcelona, 4 p.m. CT, ESPN Classic
I know, we don’t get the high-def ESPN2 feed. Ripoff! It’s April Fool’s Day on this matchday, everyone, but since we’ve already played our cruel trick on Saturday against Betis, t’would be my vast, vast preference if ...

The Return of the Absentees
The big news coming out of La Masia today seems to be the return of Deco and Ronaldinho to full training. Kevin has already expressed his opinion on the matter in the comments of the previous post , but I’d like to take a moment to discuss this ...

All Hail El Geta
All Hail El Geta
Before I do a preview of the Recreativo Huelva match, I think we should all give it up for what Getafe nearly pulled off yesterday in the UEFA Cup against Bayern Munich. After soon-to-be-Madridista Ruben de la Red was sent off in the 5th minute with ...

Nicknames for all!
Nicknames for all!
Based on my prior assertion that calling Steve Nash “Two-Time” because he’s been league MVP twice is fantastic, I thought, for fun, we should come up with some good ones for our own team. They can be disparaging or encouraging, ...

Farewell, R10, a.k.a. “The Good Old Days”
Farewell, R10, a.k.a. “The Good Old Days”
Ah, a picture from happier times that we can all remember, because it looks like its official: Ronaldinho is now a Rossoneri . We all saw it coming, so it isn’t like anyone should be shocked at the news, which, unlike many other recent ...

Barca 0, Getafe 0, or “The Church of Goalpost Jesus”
Could someone just kill me now? I mean, right now. Lord, since you clearly don’t wear the blaugrana, I only ask that you smite me, that I might never have to witness such a display ever again in my life. And I don’t think that’s ...
