Yes he will. On top of that, fortunately, Barca is on heavy play on Fox Soccer Channel so I'll get to see a lot of him there too.

Aren't Argentina on the brink of elimination from the World Cup? I thought I heard that like 2 weeks ago.

They are the 4th place S. American team right now which qualifies them for an automatic bid to the World Cup. If the fall to 5th they will have to play a home and away playoff with the 4th place N. American team to qualify.

Ah, it was just a typical over-exaggeration by the local CBC radio sportscaster. Nevermind. Even if they do place 5th behind Ecuador (and there are still 4 matches each to go), they'd get a playoff against one of Honduras, Mexico, or El Salvador. That's hardly a likely elimination scenario, even if it is an unexpected position that Argentina is currently in.

To the extent I follow EPL (I don't), I am also on Tottenham's bandwagon. For the same reason I consider myself an Ajax fan to the extent that I follow Dutch football (again, I don't) -- these are the teams that the Europeans have dubbed "Jewish teams" and taunt with anti-Semitic insults. So I'm happy to throw my weight behind them.

Until they got demoted, I considered myself a Sheffield Wednesday fan -- just for the name.

While the final result is not a surprise. The stunning fact is that it took a late header by Brazil's Captian, Lucio, to give Brazil the hard fought 3 - 2 victory over the United States squad in the Confederations Cup Finals match in South Africa. The United States actually lead the match 2 - 0 at the half.

who cares, the Brazilians always have the ref in their back pocket anyway... they'd have won regardless... good to see the US doing well though...

I will stand up and be counted and confess to being a Magpies fan... I look forward to not following the Coca-Cola Championship this season...

The English Premier League opens the 2009 / 2010 season this weekend. I am stoked...

No matter how stupid the contracts can get over here, they will always pale in comparison to the ones handed out in Europe.

Barcelona says in a statement on its Web site that "the Argentina forward's new agreement runs until 2016 and has a buy-out clause of €250 million ($368 million) included."


Beat that Yashin!

Nothing is dumber than the rookie contracts in the NFL.

Lionel Messi is, bar none, the greatest futbol player currently on the face of the planet. To watch him play is a joyful experience. He is that good. Barcelona FC made the correct move locking him up like that for that long. There is no salary cap in European futbol.Your team either spends or becomes the farm team for the other teams that do.

no there isn't. theres nothing like that over there. the funny part, some (most) of the teams are losing money each year because of contracts like this, but they want to win, so they will pay it
