Barca vs Mallorca, or "Here's to happier times," Sunday, 3 p.m. ET, (5pm on GolTV)

By Kevin | May 10th, 2008

Okay. Time to play out the string, to find out what kind of fans we have at the Camp Nou. We're bound for third place, and will have to play our way into the Champions League next season. Frank Rijkaard and Ronaldinho, two faces who came to epito ...

Evil Empire 4-Barca 1, or "Pimp slap is front of the hand, back of the head."

By Kevin | May 7th, 2008

That's what we did. Rolled over and showed our goddamned bellies like a submissive dog, at a time when we should have been playing for a bit of pride, playing for the colors, fighting like savages for at least some salvation for this season of pu ...

Frank Rijkaard's Employment Status "Outed"

By chris | May 2nd, 2008

(I swiped that brilliant picture of The Curls from SoccerLens) I don't know whether to laugh, cry or throw myself off the end of a building because the apocalypse is surely upon us. Some guy who works with Frank Rijkaard has thrown Frank under the ...

Is The Curl Coming To The Bridge?

By Jack | March 1st, 2008

Frank Rijkaard, along with his glorious locks, is coming to Chelsea. No, he's not. Oh, maybe he is. Now, not so much. The media have been all over the place this week regarding the Barcelona manager. First, a host of outlets said he was open to a mo

Vote: Who Should Manage Chelsea

By Jack | February 27th, 2008

In light of Avram Grant's recent, and well-documented shortcomings, I shall ask the question that must be on every Chelsea fan's mind, who should be in control at Stamford Bridge (other than Roman noodles). In the transcendent words of one Sean "P. Diddy"

The Portuguese Liga is a Slutty Ho

By Greg | July 3rd, 2007

No, really: the Liga is taking it for the right price from just about anyone at this point. I'm not saying it's one of the seedy ladies walking around on HBO documentaries such as Hookers at the Point or Atlantic City Hookers: It Ain't E-Z Being a Ho, bu

When 'Tipping' Becomes a European Custom

By Greg | June 15th, 2007

I sat in a bar in Terminal C of Newark Liberty International Airport a few weeks ago and observed some interesting goings on. For those who don't know (probably most of you), Terminal C is the International terminal at EWR. This being considered, obviou

Ronaldinho Eases Closer to Milan

By Martha | May 12th, 2007

After Barca's humiliating cup defeat to Getafe last week, Ronaldinho was verbally abused by fans, some of whom rather angrily suggested -- in so many words -- that he take his sorry as to Milan and stop wasting their time. Now, while as far as I know Barc

Despite being Knocked Out, Barca Remain Very Interested in Champions League

By Martha | April 3rd, 2007

According to a report in the Spanish press, among the most interested spectators at the Olimpico when Roma host Man U tomorrow night will be Barcelona technical director Txiki -- that's pronounced "Earl" -- Begiristain. In addition to just loving his foot

News: Deco out for three weeks; Rijkaard wants to stay

By Isaiah | March 19th, 2007

Barcelona will be without Deco for at least three weeks as he recovers from surgery on the middle finger of his right hand. The midfielder injured it during a tackle on Saturday, a tackle for which he earned a yellow card. This is sobering news as Deco

Rijkaard and Eto'o talking junk

By Brian | March 6th, 2007

Rijkaard thinks Benitez is conceded. He's probably right, I mean, you sort of have to be that way to be a good manager. I don't know anyone who would call Rijkaard a humble man, do you? We all know how humble Eto'o is. First, he's demanding to start

Champions League Preview: Liverpool - Barcelona

By Isaiah | March 6th, 2007

There are less than 24 hours before Barcelona play at Anfield and the tension is quickly mounting for me. It's a huge game, especially on the heels of another loss in La Liga, but not just because of that loss. It's big because Barcelona are down 2-1 goin

Barcelona 2-2 Chelsea

By Andy | November 1st, 2006

Barcelona. Top of the footballing food chain and the 'Prime Minister' for the G14 select clubs of European Football. G14 is an inaccurate numerical quantity. G14 actually consists of 18 clubs and poor old Chelsea, who should be one of the European
