Lliga: Barca - Sevilla 0-0

[La Furia]

So what, Barca is not Bilbao.
Some think that to support Barca is to feel Catalan.

Does this mean Catalans who don't support Barca are not real Catalans? Or supporters of Barca who don't know a word of Catalan, are as Catalan or more Catalan than someone born and raised in Catalunya who supports Espanyol? Like Xavi's family, for instance?

No, this means only what I said. If they don't know the word in Catalan, why the hell they be Catalans more than Espanyol supporters. Truth is that Barca is a symbol for lots of Catalans. But that doesn't mean everyone should follow this symbol and everyone think the same.

This.

[Antimilan]

Prediction: 6-0

[ammarfcb]

playing against a team that depend on the flanks in thier attacking with 3 defenders will be suicide .. just like what happened when we played against Valencia ..

agreed. 3-4-3 against sevilla would be like giving pepe a gun

[Fourteen]

4-1 Barca

[sailor]

3 - 0 to keep a clean sheet again

[Caramel]

2-1 for Sevilla .

[ZeeMessi]

4-3-3 is a must I think against Sevilla with Navas and co on the flanks!!! Pretty pumped for this game I'll be heading off to sleep soon (12.30am here) to wake up around 7am and grab a stream of the game. Up Barca!!!!

Truth. There's a weird trend on these forums where a lot of cules who aren't even Catalan (or Spanish) start to get all caught up in Catalan politics, independence calls and anti-Castillian sentiment. This is a wrong approach as outsiders have no place in taking sides on this matter. If you assume that being a cule gives you the right to be a fanatical frothing pro-Catalonia airhead then you're sadly mistaking. The question of independence is solely for the Catalan people to decide. Many support independence but many also support being part of Spain.

So lets stop all the anti-Madrid, anti-Spain sentiment (anti-Real Madrid sentiment is another matter because it's football) and keep it purely football.

But yeah, back on topic. Sevilla is one of the stronger opponenets but they've slumped in recent seasons. I think it'll be a 2-0 victory to Barca.

When you live there you might be caught with catalanism. It's already different when you're there I think. I have a friend, she is very pro-Catalan, all her friends and family are too. They dream of independence, they love to dream about it. And of course being friends with her affected me a lot. I respect their feeling of identity very much and at the same time like I've already said the sentiment is very different for lots of Catalan people. And nothing does them better or worse to each other.

I'll try my best to snake my way around the subject. Getting caught up in business that's not really your business often tends to go bad. Especially if you're very vocal about it.

I think since its at Camp Nou we will beat them like 4-0 or something.
4-3-3 is definitely goin to be used 3-4-3 will be suicide
My line up :
-------------Valdes------------
Alves--Puyol--Masch--Abidal
---Xavi------Sergio------Iniesta--
Villa--------Messi---------Pedro

Villa was awesome last match hope to see him perform well today too.
Regarding Messi I don't think he can play bad 2 match in a row
