i'm with you man. i think more interesting would be tickets to el clasico or the former?
re: fabregas. the thing about fabregas is at barca he may find himself in same spot as espana. i think best combo for most games is something like pep's 4-3-3 w/ villa on that left wing like he played at spain. i actually really like pedro on that right wing. maybe try messi up front but allow him to move around and make plays deeper than a standard 9 (obv can have ibra in the center and messi in his usual left spot depending on opponent). then OBV xavi and iniesta and i really like busquets too. although different than world cup you are playing so many more games and fabregas can basically sub or start in place of any midfielder. something else that could be really interesting is if they ran a really flexible 4-2-2-2 w/ busquets/fabregas in the back, then xavi and iniesta doing there thing. then villa and messi up front.
it's sounding like i don't like ibrah but in a lot of matchups i just don't think he fits in all that well.

I've never had someone sum up my thoughts so perfectly
I think Barca made a huge mistake selling Yaya Touré. He is much better than Busquets and fits the system as well (when he played, he was really good). Guardiola obviously want to keep the team as spanish and catalonian as possible, but he was a bit stubborn in my opinion.

el clasico would be very very expensive, if I recall correctly I looked up once and it was 400 Euro+ and I was not 100% sure it was legit
Given that I think I would go to a game which has a potential to end 4:0 and see Messi do a hat-trick (which CAN happen in like half of their home games). And pay much less.
I read that Arsenal went from "No way we sell Fabregas this summer go fuck yourselves" to "60 Mirrin" today. Hope Barca will seal a deal; obviously Fabregas wants to go but does not want to hand in hat formal transfer request.
I agree totally that Ibra mostly doesn't fit into that Barca possession game. His perfect place was Italy IMO.
With Villa there I wonder what happens because he and Messi both play @left. Messi can dribble from everywhere but I guess it's kind of unnatural to put him on right because you have Villa. Villa is more of a striker than Messi anyway so probably it would be Messi left, Villa left-to-center.
Pedro would be awesome with these because he did such a good job in the WC. I liked especially how he was kind of stretching that right wing: every time he would make one of those deep runs he somehow managed to dislocate the whole defense in a way that there was so much free space suddenly (vs. Germany). I do think it was due to his speed + unpredictability and not entirely defense mistake. Usually, having space in the attack is a problem for Barca because every just parks the bus against them, so if he manages to do that consistently that would be great.
Busqeuts IMO was the most underrated Spanish player of the WC. He basically did tremendous job, (like denying any breathing room to SNEJDER.) but because of the nature of the job everyone thinks he sucks. I mean a holding midfield is rarely, if ever, spectacular. You usually notice a holding midfield when he makes a mistake.
Also, what Barca lacks right now are those shots from out of the box (Xabi Alonso did it for the team, like second half against Netherlands) and Cesc can do it.
I just hope Ibra stays with Barcelona for another season, rumor says Real Madrid now?
Moving to Barcelona in 6-7 weeks. I don't think I can get any decent season tickets, due to the good ones are already taken. But we'll see, we're going to organize an event with my job to get a bunch of: CFO's, CIO's, (CEO's) to come to Barcelona and watch a game a meet the players etc.
Milkman lol i didnt spend half a thousand on a phone so i could play it cool and be all stealth

well she said something like, "well you just got back from the world cup, which you won", Henry gets slightly surprised but still politely says "no we didn't just win it.. we did win it, but not this one" and she clearly doesnt get that he's referencing 1998, she doesn't understand at all and just insta-moves on with the interview. flew over her head.

That's super-cool. Are you really going to meet the players, that's sick.
If you have an opportunity can you drop us info about the tickets?
How much do they cost, where to buy etc.
just bumping my own post, premier league kicks off in 2 weeks i think.

LP.net premiership -> 279762-73973
LP.net heads up -> 279762-73977
join em =)
this is my team so far, based on chelsea / manu having easyish games, and the budget constraints led me to picking fulham as my token budget defensive team for now, usually they do pretty good even tho they're away from home against bolton first week.
I came to this thread expecting to talk some shit about what americans call fooltball but the guy is really talking about football, not handegg, damn
