How is that contradicting with what I said?

Its easier for an opponent to stop a slow pace tactic compared to a blazing fast counter team.

real madrid fans? ah i see

no, dont change ur statement here

world's best team , but easier to stop ? lulwut?

Actually judging from his username, I'd say Arsenal is more appropriate.

10 points for Gryffindoorrrr

Why does everyone always say all Arsenal fans are barca haters. I'm an Arsenal Fan but im also a big fan of barcelona. it's true when barca was pulling Fabregas to their side, i was sad to hear to about that. But that doesn't stop me from liking barca. The two teams have one thing in common, they play beautiful passing football and that is what make me love these two clubs.

Why does everyone call them actors?

Maybe players like Alves and Busquets are very, very good in acting but that doesn't mean the whole squad is.

Messi is one player who i have never seen to "Cheat". He gets kicked, pushed, shoved, slapped, elbowed but he never lays on the ground, unless it is really serious. All he does is get up and run again.

I know there are videos on youtube of them "cheating" but if you notice, majority of the clips came from the same matches. Why?

Against Chelsea in 2008/2009, they had tons of penalties not awarded against them. It's stupid to say it is because Barcelona cheat. Maybe they are favoured but it is all the referee's calls and nothing to do with Barcelona.

Against Real Madrid in almost every season especially under Jose Freaking Mourinho, Barcelona players get kicked, pushed, shoved, elbowed and whatever by Real Madrid players. Obviously they would take advantage of the way Real Madrid plays. Real Madrid were playing rough just to stop Barcelona from playing their game. A bit of a ***** strategy, IMO. Something like Netherlands in the 2010 World Cup Final. Believe me, if you were playing a game and you're getting kicked, pushed, shoved, elbowed, you'd also take the chance to lay on the ground in order to get the opponent carded because you can't stand the treatment of players kicking you and referee not doing anything about it.

And regards to cheats, almost every team has them.

I am a Liverpool fan and Suarez is a great pretender. He often exaggerates contact. Gerrard himself has admitting to diving to avoid injuries.

Arsenal's Fabregas was used to said to have "dove" at times. Chelsea has got pretenders in Drogba. Real Madrid themselves got Pepe and Ronaldo. Manchester United has got Nani.

Every team has players like this and sadly, it has become part and parcel of football.

Not saying that arsenal fans are barca haters, but i have seen a lot arsenal fans doesn't like barca..but is up to them....

guyz....its is true that barca will come to malaysia during pre season?? i heard play with MU summore...

source of this story is from MMail..nothing concrete..

If they come to Malaysia, it's like dream comes true.
And our National team can learn from them.

Messi with his 3 Balon d'or. Messi now he has 3 'balls', one more than any normal male should have. Truly unique he is. SOLO UN LEO.


The only boots in the world money can't buy!

Sportswear brand Adidas is in the mood to celebrate the third straight FIFA Ballon d’Or victory of Lionel Messi, one of its biggest clients, in a grand golden way. Adidas created a special gold pair of adizero F50 boots, which the FC Barcelona striker will wear for the first time on Sunday in the match against Real Betis at Camp Nou. The boots have three stripes which mention the years (2009, 2010, 2011) in which Messi won the award, along with his new personal logo and the words “FIFA Ballon d’Or Player of the Year” and “gracias a todos”, “thanks to all”.

God.

Yes. They are the best team but on the other hand, it is easier to stop them since they rely on slow build up play.
By building it up slowly, the opponent has more time to re-adjust.
That's why most teams that park two lines of 4 men can almost get a result.
Either 2 banks of 4 men behind the ball and/or incessantly pressuring.
Most of the times it doesn't work but from time to time it does work for the opposition.
Another factor to take into account is that some teams can't do it over an hour.

Non-Barca fans tend to act as if only Barca players does a certain thing.

"Santos attacker Neymar (19) wants to join Barcelona this summer, after the Olympic Games. Santos are willing to let him go"

from barcastuff. izzit true? LOL..

I honestly think its just rumor. And I'm quite bored with the rumor already.

How about the latest one? Apparently we are keeping tab with Ravel Morrison

if it true, be ready for a hefty price tag
