Pretty much the only thing supporters of the Big 4 in England will agree on right now is that nobody wants a piece of Barcelona in the Champions League. And for Thirdsenal and Spartak London, it’s a very real Round of 16 possibility.
FC Barcelona is a fucking machine right now. Okay, not a literal fucking machine (which I’ve recently learned do in fact exist (and NOT EVEN CLOSE TO SAFE FOR WORK))… Where was I? Oh, El Clasico. Today is Crayola’s dream match up of the Blaugrana and the Meringues.
Barcelona comes in as easily the best team in Europe (okay, we might entertain an argument for Inter, but not really), and Lionel Messi looks the best player on the planet. He’s ever bit a good on the ball as Ronaldo but has the bonus feature of being able to stay upright.
Real Madrid stumbles into today’s match an absolute mess. They are 2-3-1 in their last six La Liga matches, including a lifeforce-draining loss last week to Sevilla where they rallied from 3-0 down to tie, only to see Arjen Robben get sent off before conceding the loser in the dying moments.
But after firing Bernd Schuster earlier in the week, Real Den Haag—and feel free to pilfer that one—brought in Juande Ramos, the man who guided Tottenham to the Carling Cup last season before piloting them straight into the relegation zone to start this season. He got shit-canned out of White (S)Hart Lane but Ramos was able to get a convincing 3-0 Champions League win over Zenit St. Petersburg, in a match that proved to be utterly meaningless. Now he’ll face an actual opponent.
If you are an impartial viewer this is a ‘no lose’ watch. If Barca totally outclasses Madrid, they probably won’t let up and will put a dismantling for the ages on them. Barca are probably looking for a bit of revenge from last season, and they know that with a win tomorrow they can effectively kill any chance of Madrid winning La Liga. If Madrid wins, it’ll will be an absolute shocker (the match is at the Camp Nou). Anything close and this has the capacity to be a harbinger of the apocalypse. Isn’t hyperbole awesome?
If I can subtract from 12, kickoff seems to be at 4 on the East Coast. Find a bar with GolTV and start drinking. Heavily. Might I recommend Voll-Damm (as in Fall Down) if they serve it anyplace here in the US?

The biggest Football star in Argentine history & arguably in the
World, DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA has spoken & everyone
listens. The Argentine star has commented that fellow countryman
& World Football star LIONEL MESSI is too much an individualist
in his style of play & should rectify this “bad” tendency.
Some have interpreted this as a severe criticism, however others
(with more Football knowledge) see this as constructive criticism
in order to maintain the “boy” on the right path. Diego Maradona
mencioned that…”Messi at times plays for Messi“, an observation
that from SFS humble viewing angle agrees with Maradona.
This tendency is normal, Lionel Messi is a very young man who has
risen to the Top of World Football in an explosive way over the last 18
months. He wishes to excel & prove he is the best & that “energy”
sometimes causes him to look out for Messi 1Âşst then the team. It is
precisely with this point that Maradona went on to add that Messi would
become a more complete player if he worked on strenghtening the “team
work” aspect.
With this said, one should interprete Maradona´s words as coming
from a Grandfather & in Messi´s best interests. SFS does´nt doubt
that Messi is sufficiently intelligent to think about it & become a
better team player. There is no doubt that Messi is destined to be
the World´s Best & with help from the “Leyends”, Managers, FC
BARCELONA…& the rest, he will remain on the right path.
