Irish and their fighting spirit as well as the very pretty French team in their brilliantly tight

First things first that's Tigre midfielder Matias Gimenez in the picture above. Dressed as a

Though FC Barcelona completely dominated ball posssiesion through the entire match they were
unable to capitalize against Rubin Kazan.
In a balmy 25 degrees Fahrenheit Barcelona came out in the first half with revenge on their
mind. Having lost 2-1 to Kazan at home just weeks prior Guardiola's men were looking for a win on

Calm down, big guy. Before you go and try to waddle off to Thailand, just know that FAT stands
for Football Association of Thailand. That has nothing to do with you, no matter how much you want
those free hamburgers. Yes, it is true that you're a fat player, but you're not a FAT player.
You're actually more of an f-f-f-a-t-t-t player.

What a great show the tifosi put on last night! Perhaps they couldn't
all contain their whistles when Ricky got hold of the ball, but they certainly
showed their cuori che sono grandi (big hearts) nevertheless. On the pitch, it's safe to
say that Los Blancos played strikingly better than the first leg, even without the sadly
missed Greaseano.
