The richest tournament in world soccer has completed the group stage, and boy was it full of entertainment. It also gave us a few more surprises than most thought when the draw was announced this summer. Some of the surprises were good (if you’re a neutral), some came at the expense of the biggest names […]

WOW! Neymar took that upon himself and drilled an absolute beauty to give Barcelona a 2-1 lead against PSG in the first half. This goal is all sorts of difficult. Neymar is trying to find some space but sees the PSG defense giving him that room. At almost a standstill, Neymar curls it home leaving […]

When I mean dying seconds, I mean DYING seconds. The 93rd minute of a match with three minutes of stoppage time, this happens. Just simply stunning. Barcelona defeats Valencia and stay within two points of Real Madrid in the La Liga table.

For the past day or so, I have seen many reports saying that Lionel Messi is considering leaving or hinting at leaving Barcelona next year or in the foreseeable future. I have to be honest, I haven’t read any of these articles because I know it’s not going to happen. Lionel Messi is staying at […]

Lionel Messi is already one of the best players in soccer history. One area where he is not known for is heading. With the style Barcelona plays plus his 5 ft. 6 in. frame, I don’t really blame him for not scoring more often with his head. It’s very rare when Messi scores with his […]

Real Madrid took the lead 3-1 on a beautifully team oriented goal that started off of a rare Barcelona mistake. Isco intercepted the ball and miraculously kept it in at the halfway line. He passed it up to Cristiano Ronaldo, who passed it across the box to James Rodriguez after Karim Benzema let it go […]

Barcelona kicked El Clasico off with a rocking start with a stunning cross from Luis Suarez to Neymar. Neymar does what Neymar does and drills it home from top of the box to make it 1-0. Real Madrid equalized with a Ronaldo PK. Guaranteed that the scoring isn’t over.

Look, I’ll admit it, I’m horrible at making predictions. I’m usually wrong, like everyone else, so I decided that I’m passing the buck and letting FIFA 15 decide. We put both teams on the field, let it go to computer vs. computer and we see what happens. Let’s see if FIFA is as accurate as […]

Wow, this was tough to limit this to 10 players. I originally had 15 and it was tough to take 5 of those players off because they all deserved to be on the list. Just like with the Real Madrid article, you will not see any current Barcelona players on the list. So that means […]

While a win over your biggest rival is always something that players and fans alike crave all year, El Clasico is a unique derby because it always means something in regards to the league and who will win La Liga in the long run. For Barcelona, a win will place them 7 points above their […]

As I was researching what to include in the top 10 greatest El Clasico’s, I realized that there are way too many worthy games to put on this list. I’m sure I have left off some your favorites so I’m sorry in advance. I wanted to mix in history, great individual performances and great games […]

This Saturday at noon, the first El Clasico of the year takes place at the Bernabeu. The two big teams in La Liga face off in the first of two minimum matches. These games have typically been classic games filled with high scoring and hopefully we don’t see anything different this weekend. Here’s what you […]

Luis Suarez is set to make a sensational return to soccer since the big scandal of this summer’s World Cup landed him a four month ban from all play. Having introduced himself to his new club, Barcelona, in friendly matches, this will be Suarez’s first real competitive match with his new teammates. In what promises […]

It didn’t take long for things to heat up between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona in their Champions League clash in the French capital. We also got a glimpse of the greatness that put both of these teams as favorites in a tough group. That’s because we got David Luiz to finish a great piece of […]

1) Moritz Stoppelkamp vs Hannover 96 Wow. When a 50 yard goal is scored, such as the famous Xabi Alonso goal against Newcastle from a few years ago, people tend to remember that. This one is a solid 89 yards long. That kind of a goal doesn’t happen in FIFA. That’s a goal that will […]
