    FC Barcelona basketball team

    Xavi Pascual is such an average head coach. We just lost game 4 away from home (that we had to win to level the tie) in the last second against Olympiacos in the quarter-finals. We lost the series 3-1 in total. Had the team won tonight they would have played the all-deciding game 5 next...

    UEFA Europa League 2014-15

    Great to see Sevilla making it alongside 2 Italian clubs. I want to see a Sevilla-Viola final.

    Which team do you want Barca to draw?

    Juventus would obviously be the easiest opponent on paper at least. Still they are a very strong team this season and they can hurt not only us but Bayern and RM as well. At this stage of the CL and especially this season there are no easy opponents and considering our current form, momentum...

    Would you say that PSG is the 4th to 7th largest football club in Europe ?

    I was obviously talking about "star players" in a historical context. This is also reflected in the reality when we realize that the club has won a record number of Ballon d'Or awards (10), as well as a record number of FIFA World Player of the Year awards (7). In terms of "stars" nowadays...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    I want to see numbers that confirm exactly that if you don't mind. Ronaldo might run a bit more (a longer distance) on average each game but the difference should be negligible. That's not correct. Ronaldo has had countless of games where he was not involved much and where he did not run much...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Some really hilarious comments in this thread of late.:lol: You do realize that Ronaldo, much like Messi, is not running a lot during a game of football? His runs are mostly short sprints into the box or on the flanks. Nothing exceptional about that little sprint and assist late in the game...

    Lliga: Espanyol - Barca 0-2

    Indeed but some of the players might underestimate them. After such a hectic schedule and all the success you might take an opponent like Espanyol lightly or not as seriously as they deserve. At least subconsciously. I am not worried about Lucho. Lucas Vázquez, Caicedo and Casilla are already...

    How can I as a FCB socio be jealous of a club like PSG? I am not sure if he realizes that FCB's revenue is bigger than that of PSG and that the value of FCB as a club is several times bigger than that of PSG. Let alone our assets being much more valuable. If those Qataris (he seems to admire...

    Would you say that PSG is the 4th to 7th largest football club in Europe ?

    What has that to do with anything? English is not my mother tongue (in fact it is my third language) and everyone is fully capable of understanding what I am writing. Man Utd is nowhere near being the biggest club in the world. The only thing they excel in/are comparable with compared to the...

    Alvaro Morata

    Morientes when he played for Monaco during the 2003-04 season (on loan form RM) and helped eliminate RM. Funnily enough I had the exact same thoughts before the draw in March. Let us see.

    Are you joking again? FCB is a richer club so what is there to be jealous about? Of being a toy in the hands of rich Qatari Bedouins? Of only becoming relevant due to Qatari oil and gas money? Of being ridiculed/disliked in all of Europe for that alongside Man City and similar nouveau riche...

    UEFA Champions League 2014-15

    I like their duo upfront too. Tevez and Morata. Two very different players yet they complement each other very well. Overall Juventus has a strong team but they are obviously not on the level of FCB, RM and Bayern but they can beat all 3 teams over 2 legs and in a final. Yet I am sure that...

    Would you say that PSG is the 4th to 7th largest football club in Europe ?

    In terms of revenue for sure. That's a fact at least. That is solely thanks to Qatari oil and gas money though as we all know. Their squad is likely to be among the best in Europe too (once again thanks to their financial strength alone) but their best European result in the past 4 seasons...

    I have mentioned several factors that contribute to a club's stature and prestige. Many more than you have mentioned. All you have been doing in this debate is telling us all how rich PSG is which is not an achievement at all when your club is rich solely due to being bought by rich Qatari's who...

    Actually it's 6 teams for Ligue 1. At least that was the case this season. That's still almost 33,3% of all Ligue 1 teams and that's a considerable sample. No two ways about it. I don't understand why you are trying to neglect the fact that those 6-7 teams are usually the strongest teams in a...

    Thiago Silva

    Understand once and for all that being rich (solely due to Qatari oil money) and having a strong squad is not enough to be labeled as "one of the biggest clubs in the world". What relevance does it have that PSG is based in Paris? None is the answer. Finances and revenues are part of the...

    Anyway I don't bother engaging in silly debates with a user that makes ridiculous claims frequently and who hypes everything French. You can continue living in your bubble where Ligue 1 is comparable to La Liga, EPL, Bundesliga and Serie A contrary to the UEFA coefficient list, the number of...

    It would have sufficed just to say that PSG is currently one of the strongest teams in Europe and then nobody would have objected at all but to call them "one of the largest clubs in the world" is simply not only outrageous but also very laughable. Same case with Man City. No, the UEFA...

    Ligue 1 is the best league in the world while PSG is the biggest club in the world because some Qatari Bedouins bought them 4 years ago and because they have reached the CL quarterfinals 3 times in a row! They also have the most fans in Paris - a city famous for its many leading football...

    Not from what I know about. At least not officially but we all know that match fixing was involved. No need to have it proved in a court as it was blatant for everyone. That Egyptian clown of a referee and his clown assistants were not seen ever again on the highest level if at all. The referee...
