the "REAL" football
I just watched one of the most amazing soccer games I've ever seen. FC Barcelona, who if you don't know, is one of the best teams in the world. They won the Spanish Premiera (A.K.A. La Liga) and also won the UEFA Champions League which is probably the hardest cup to win every year. Winning the Champions League and becoming the European champions is almost as good if not better than winning your division in your respective league (i.e. English Premiership, Scottish Premiership, Spanish Premiera, Bundas Liga, Dutch League, Italian Serie A, etc...) So anyway, about the game. Barcelona is on its American tour (for exposure and to give Americans a chance to see them play, as does Chelsea FC and Real Madrid) and they played Club America of the Mexican League tonight. Well, Club America had a striker earn a hat trick in the first half and was up 4-1 in the fist half. The first goal was scored in the 3rd minute of play by Club America, and the next goal came not a minute later by Barcelona, it's 1 to 1. Then 3 goals by Club America. After the half, Barcelona makes 6 changes to thier lineup and doesn't do ANYTHING til the 80th minute. They score 1 goal, then Ronaldinho goes down in the box for a PK, its 3-4 in the 90th minute. In the 92nd minute Ronaldinho connects with E'to for a header and ties the game. It was amazing. 3 goals in a matter of just 10 minutes. Superb.
