Messi scores first Barca La Liga goal of 2014-2015 season.

Good start for Barca. Messi proves once again that he is not a muggle like the rest of us. Munir scored his first career first team gol. Rakitic and Mathieu played very well. Everyone, including Luis Enrique, knew that red card was coming out.

Now... on to the niners game im recording!!

Really impressed with Munir. The kid's got a great future. He and Deulofeu are the the next Barca youngsters to watch. Both are a whole lot better than guys like Tello, Cuenca...etc. ever were.

Samper is another one that I'm very excited about.

...this is why I'm not too upset about the upcoming transfer ban and this is why I preferred Enrique to Tata last year as well. Tata is a really good coach but Enrique knows and understands what La Masia is truly about and will bring up the youngsters quickly.

Angel DiMaria going to Man U. Good luck to "el fideo."

Real is going to miss him. They might have kroos and James but none of those two bring what DiMaria has.

While I hate to see DiMaria leave, he wanted to go. Wanted more minutes and money. Was unhappy. Still wish him luck though at Man U (especially after they lost 4-0 to MK Dons today ).

On another note, looks like Falcao (very strong possibility) and/or Marco Reus (there's a chance) may end up with Los Blancos. I'm a huge Falcao fan, so I'm very excited about him joining.


And Real unveiled their 3rd kits today. If you don't think these are sick, you have no taste, and you're probably a horrible person and I can no longer be your friend.




And the new boots that'll be worn by Marcelo, Gareth Bale, and James (and others):

Heard about this...lol wtf?!?

...and if you're ManU, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ManCity - you can't b***h about...oh we didn't play our regular starters. lol - these clubs spend more money on their bench than the opponents do on their starters.

I couldn't resist it

Barca is always coming out with some ridiculous hideous colors for their alternate jerseys. They had a black one...which was nice but not this cool. The only one I can remember liking was the teal looking one.



...oh and how I miss having just "UNICEF" on the front of the shirt and no sponsors.

I have that jersey

Me too (Iniesta)

That's the only alternative jersey I bought. I haven't bought jersey since Qatar Airways went on the jersey. It kind of ruined it for me. I'm sure I'll eventually get over it and buy one but not anytime soon.
