Yep. It's always fun watching those two teams play each other, but having Ronaldinho and Eto'o going up against each other for the first time in Italy will make it even more interesting. It would be great to see Ronnie called back to the Brazil squad and have a chance to play an important role...

Having just watched Inter play newly promoted Bari to a draw (at home), I'm not so sure facing quality sides will be a big problem in Serie A this year. Siena is actually a pretty tough place to play and Milan played great in the second half. They were a much better side than Inter this weekend...

Being a good, old-fashioned leftist, I agree with you completely. I detest corporate sponsorship and I think the fact that Barcelona wears UNICEF on their jerseys is the coolest thing in the world. No way I would want to change that for the sake of making a few more bucks. :2145960713mundoemot

Welcome to all our new members! Very glad to have you around! :beer2:

Now that's funny. :lol:

I'm surprised Giovani Dos Santos didn't get more votes. He was such a force for Ipswich Town this year. :p

I don't know too much about him, but he seems very promising. I definitely like his size. And the Dutch league always seems to produce a lot of good, young talent. Sounds like he could develop into a fine player. :2145960713mundoemot

I'm glad to see some of the old guys such as Paulino Alcántara, César Rodríguez and László Kubala were brought up. Too often fans know the players from recent decades, but those whose shoulders the more recent legends stand on are sadly forgotten. :beer2: César still holds the Barcelona record...

I was really sad to wake up to this news this morning, even though it didn't shock me. What a great character and a great coach. A true legend of the game. He'll always be remembered fondly by Barcelona fans and by everyone in England. :sad:

Check out this crazy goal by LDU Quito against Real Madrid at about 3:12 in this package of highlights. It involves a corner kick, a header, a bicycle kick and another header. :p <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"...

I voted "other" because I don't think the same person should take them all the time. I think it's good to mix it up and give the opposition something a little different. So I'd be in favor of Alves, Xavi, Messi and Ibrahimovic sharing the responsibility in some manner.

We'll always have Paris, I suppose. I voted that way as well, although not because I have anything against Arsenal but because I love Barcelona and it was the frickin' Champions League final! It doesn't get any better than that. :beer2: :2145960713mundoemot :flagvl8::flagvl8::flagvl8:

I have no doubt he'll be successful. Of course, if you define successful as scoring 35 goals, you're likely to be disappointed. But his mixture of goalscoring, assists, creativity, aerial ability, ballhandling, etc., will surely add a dynamic new piece to the Barcelona attack. What's not to...

I was watching when that happened. It was funny. I think everyone got a good laugh out of it. :lol:

Actually, Bradley's club didn't get relegated and the previous season he scored 16 goals for Heerenveen in the Dutch Eredivisie. And Clint Dempsey has arguably been the best player on Fulham (which finished 7th in the EPL and earned a spot in the Europa League) for the past two seasons. Plus...
