On the Eve of the new Season...

[Barcelona]

Great to see one of the best athletes in the world wearing Barcelona's t-shirt! Maybe Gasol had something to do with it. Before starting to play in the NBA he was a Barcelona player. Still really glad to see a reference to FC Barcelona in a US magazine.

i dont think its gasol, i remember kobe being all star struck when barca did a preseason tour a few years back. that and i dont think kobe talks to team mates

i think barca is going to have an involvement with the new mls miami franchise (if they get it)

looks like oba will be back this weekend, and mikey might only miss 2 league games

smackie, do you know if the usa/mexico match next week will be in hd?

[slappy]

you seem awfully interested in what smackies wearing these days. not that theres anything wrong with that

What are you wearing?

On topic, interesting they are going with Seattle before Miami.

If Carlos Vela has to miss the US match to play for Arsenal, I wouldn't shed a tear.

Scolari should have faked a heart attack to avoid being fired or having to quit...
