After coming off the first leg with a comfortable 2-0 lead, Barca should have no trouble cementing their qualification to the last sixteen of the Copa with tonight's match. We've got the added advantage of playing at home, plus the boys are looking to be in better form after the 4-2 triumph over Mallorca. Click to continue reading...

His name is David. He always brushes his teeth before he goes anywhere. Yesterday, he didn't have time. He called the radio to share his side of the story.

Via the Guardian:

He explained to the host DJ Spoony: "I was wanting to get to the game and I put it [the toothbrush] in my pocket and forgot to brush my teeth.

After Ibra's knock to the leg which led to a penalty and subsequent goal for us a couple days ago against Mallorca, medics have announced that he's experiencing some setbacks in the muscle and will be sidelined for around a week. That means he won't make tomorrow's Copa Del Rey match against Cultural Leonesa; adding another name to the list of absentees as several of our boys will be off on international duty.

The cutest photo we've ever seen of Leo Messi and his girlfriend, Antonella. Can this couple be any more adorable? They're at Disney World so we're guessing it was taken when Leo was there promoting the youth soccer tournament, during his United Sates vacation which he mainly spent between California and Florida with his family.

Wayzata 2 1 Woodbury

The final for the girls' 2A State High School Championship matched the #1 team in the nation, the Woodbury Royals, against the 3rd seed in the tournament the Wayzata Trojans. To most Wayzata was an underdog team. "If you're going to look at stats and where they were ranked and where we were ranked they were favored for a reason, they're a very solid" said Wayzata coach Tony Peszneker, but added, "There wasn't a great deal of difference between the two teams.

So very late last night in China, well 10.30pm Australian time, Australia kicked off its campaign to qualify for the under-17 FIFA Women's World Cup in Trinidad and Tobago. And they kicked it off in some sort of style with an impressive 4-0 win over China.
Newcastle Jets striker Tara Andrews claimed all four goals in the win, scoring in the 18th, 58th, 63rd and then 87th minute. Click to continue reading...

Last night we read that Rubin Kazan's manager had instructed the Russian club's groundskeeper not to trim the grass in the stadium, so that it would slow Barca down. Now, it is quite flattering that other teams feel the need to go to such measures when facing us, but really, it's starting to get a bit old. Click to continue reading...

Leo and Pep do press conferences prior to tonight's freeze-fest against Rubin Kazan, and look great while they're at it. Leo's got this whole I'm-thinking-ginger-stubble-totally-works-for-me look, while Pep is sending out I'm-just-too-hot-to-handle vibes even in the midst of his epic stare-down with the microphone.

Bojan and Pique were the ultimate royal couple at Barca last season, but we've all seen how they've drifted apart since the season ended... we blame Cesc, he seduced Pique on the Spanish NT over the Confed Cup. Baby Bo's been flying solo ever since; but check out him and Andres Iniesta together at the Airport on the team's trip to Kazan! Click to continue reading...

You wouldn't have know that it was an 8:00 am game on a Monday no less with the level of play from both the La Crescent Lancers and Orono Spartans. Each team played hard from the get-go with plenty of action in the first semifinal of the day of the Minnesota State High School Soccer Semifinals held at the Metrodome.

Barca Captain Carles Puyol has officially put pen to paper and signed his new contract with the club, until 2013. Puyol's as happy as could be, and thanked everyone for having the confidence to keep him. As if it could be any other way!
Meanwhile, Puyol's fellow centerback Rafael Marquez is very close to signing his own brand new deal with the club. Click to continue reading...

Reportedly, Thierry Henry is on the verge of total recovery and could get the greenlight for this weekend's Liga meet with Osasuna - is there anyone not excited by his return? We've been missing him on the lineup and can't wait to see him back in action!
Same goes for Dani Alves, who's return is looking to be sooner than expected. Click to continue reading...

After Samuel Eto'o's alleged statements against Pep and others at Barca, he adressed the subject as expected at the presentation campaign for "Shoe Aid In Africa" which he's the face of. And Samu's statements were far from any sort of lashing out at the club:
"My relationship [with Guardiola] has never been bad. Click to continue reading...

It looks like Gerard Pique has replaced Samuel Eto'o this season as the player who most often shows up late to training. And today was no exception, with Geri arriving five minutes later than the 11:30 deadline (pictured). Naturally he's up for a fine now; all the better for the club's contributions to medical research. Click to continue reading...

Gerard Pique is looking hella hot in an shoot he did last week for Catalan publication Plaer D'avui, but then again, he always does! Even the pink trainers seem to work.
With Geri featured in a close-up on the front cover, there's also a photo spread and interview inside. We've included some photos from the spread, and you can read the full interview (in Spanish) in it's original context at the magazine's website (pages 12 to 17). Click to continue reading...

Many thanks to the Sodium team members and parents who volunteered their time this morning at Project warm up! As you can see the place was packed!

- According to EMD, ex-Barca striker Samuel Eto'o as given an interview to Canal+ in which he lashes out at some of the figures from his former club. The interview won't come out till next Thursday, but leaked statements suggest that when asked which members of the club he's dissapointed in, Samu's reply was something like "Yes, I think if I'd pick two, I'd probably aim at Pep and Joan, but there are many more people who let me down, many more. Click to continue reading...

- Chygrynskiy is back from his injury, more cause to rejoice! He's greenlighted for this Sunday's Liga meet with Zaragoza, wonderful news especially now that Dani's out. Medics are saying that Titi could be returning as well, things really seem to be picking up now don't they?
- People call Pep harsh for fining the players when they're naughty, but who would have guessed that the club's donating the money for great causes? Click to continue reading...

- Friday night = party night, and last night we actually had something to celebrate: Puyol has agreed to a contract renewal, finally! Formalities and official signings and whatnot will take place in the coming days, but the important thing is they've made the deal, El Capitan is onboard till 2013 and, hopefully, he'll be here till he retires.

The Wizards and Harvesters will hold a canned-food drive outside all three gates Saturday as the Wizards host D.C. United.

All attendees are encouraged to bring canned goods and show their support of the Kansas City community. Click to continue reading...

So it looks as if Gordon Strachen is heading for 'Boro.
Thank goodness I say.
All that worry for nothing after all.
I must learn to have a little more faith. Football does have a way of testing that though doesn't it?

As if last night's result wasn't bad enough, Dani Alves came out of the mtch with a muscle rupture in his right leg that's put him out for an expected three to four weeks. Just what we needed. The injured list stretches on, and of all people it had to be Dani...
There goes our only rightback. Click to continue reading...

Leo Messi's getting to be quite the little model, isn't he? We don't know when he found the time to do this what with the insanely hectic football schedule right now, but here he is in a photo-shoot for LadyStork shoes, for the second time.
We still can't get over how dorky that name is, but Leo manages to come out anything but dorky with these casual poses. Click to continue reading...
