Barcelona not the best

[fishfly]

Seems like with all the hype and jazz about how Barcelona is the best team, etc... They can't seem to play without Messi...

After losing 2-1 to United now they go and lose 4-1 to a Mexican team...

So who is the best then?

no one

I left out the Messi part in the heading

Against Guadalajara they had 75% possession... and still lost 4-1????

Goes to show without Messi they are nothing, same applies to Messi - without Barce he is nothing

Thought I'd post the video. Favian's second goal was awesome!

They were leading the first half, then Pique,Xavi and Villa were taken off. Also Pinto was the goalkeeper and he's not close to Valdes imo.

They're still the best team in the world.

Problem is - Messi is still part of their team and will come back in - so your argument is flawed somewhat

But it is nice to see them loose and what it does highlight - is that their squad dept might be their weak link (one or 2 injuries to beeg players and who knows)

Heeeeey, how did you get an Avartar....

You really can't take any pre season result seriously.

If United had actually played anyone from their first team, then you might just have made a point.

EDIT: The notable exception being Park.

It was a charity match. And if you wanna know why we let in 8, check who the keeper was.

Lionel Messi once entered the bedroom of a girl with whom he hoped to score, the girl told him to get comfortable and she leaves the room to go and freshen up. To her horror, when she returns, she finds him nude lying on the bed with two other Spaniards. Girl shouts: "What is going on?"Messi replies: "I am sorry, but i cannot perform without Xavi and Iniesta"

Did you even take a look at the United team? Fabien Barthez, Kévin Malcuit, Idir Belhaid, Yazid Mansouri and Chadir Belghazouani, who were all playing for United, have absolutely nothing to do with the club.

Yes, I was just trying to highlight how ridiculous the OP conclusion is based on a pre-season friendly.

I dunno, it's just popping up randomly.

Fair enough.

I fancy Real to pip Barca this season to La Liga, even the CL will be won by somebody else.

I haz it!

Zangief OP!

hope you're right
the only thing barca deserves is an outbreak of ebola in their dressing room

i saw a 5 year old in a full on barca kit walking out of the gym the other day and i had this incredible urge to drop kick him, is this normal?
