To be fair, bronze is an alloy composed primarily of copper. That's why the "rusting" you see on bronze is green, identical to copper "rust".

Oier could be promoted to take over the backup role from Pinto.

I think "deals" is in reference to dealings with selling him to other teams. The rumors were that we'd use the buy-back option and then sell him right back to another team for a profit. I believe the latter part of that is what fell through.

You do know that Pedro is only a month younger than Messi, right? I wouldn't necessarily lump into the same "youngster" category as Tello and Cuenca. Tello, Cuenca, and Neymar are all 20; Pedro is 4 years older than all 3 of them.

ESPN is saying he's out for 10 days with a hamstring injury.

I thought his ball recovery and positioning were superb, but he was a bit off in his first touch and passing.

You have to keep in mind that Iniesta recently came back from injury, also. Could be that he had a minor tweak in training or something.

Unlucky on that long range shot in the first half. Great save by Casillas, though.

Was the direct result of all 5 goals in the supercopa. Scored 1 and assisted Villa at Bernabeu, scored two and assisted Iniesta tonight. Fucking amazing. Messi > God.

I thought I read somewhere that he was sick but played through it? I believe the vomiting stemmed from his sickness and not from being out of shape.

Captained Spain U-20 to a win over South Korea tonight (game went to penalties). I thought he had a pretty solid game, did anyone else watch?

Hopefully we will be playing Villa, Messi, & Pedro in the big games and it won't matter. And by the time Villa moves on, Rossi has time to adapt to Barca and learn how to play up in big games.

I think the goalie is more to blame than Abidal for the own goal. It looked like he started to come out to punch the ball away, but then decided against it at the last second. Looked like Abidal was expecting the goalie to punch it, then got taken by surprise when he let the ball come through...

[barcastuff] Barcelona will sign Hercules midfielder Kiko Femenia (20) for 4 years. He'll cost 5M and join the B-team in his first year. [la informacion] Is la informacion a crap source?

Looking like we signed him for 5M. Anybody have some highlights on this kid?
