A soft bed, a good film, an exiting footy game, a nice girl and a cold beer. At the same time.
As for football:
* Rinus Michels'-style 4-3-3
* Xavi's superhuman passing and vista
* Iniesta's, well, everything. From his personality to every one of his silky touches on the pitch
* Messi's ability to glue the ball to his feet, his dribbling pace, insight and great range of finishing

About
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream–and not make dreams your master,
If you can think–and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings–nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And–which is more–you’ll be a Man, my son!

I really hope Mats will stay here up until his late 30s. Captain Fantastic in the making and a worthy heir to Kehl when he has to pass on the armband.
I dunno, I think our defensive performance (SuperMats!) deserved the three points. It's not like Freiburg did better; they were very poor too.

Lol Kehl, nice try for a second long-range shot :P

A peach of a goal from Sebbe? I guess that's as likely as a Schieber goal though...
Yay, finally Olli gets his chance!
Holy crap Sebbe!!!!
Bring on Jojic for Schieber, Auba as the striker.
Hahaha! Love the joke, even though it's the sad truth.
Not to worry: Julian is here to save the day!

Concerts do get expensive but I always have felt that it is never a waste of money. My best life experiences have been from the trips that I have taken for shows. I really doubt that I am more of a music lover than you, I think the long trips happen out of necessity. You can travel to a lot of different cities/countries relatively easy. Seattle is a 4. 5 hour drive, Portland 5. 5 hours, and Vancouver is about 7 hours. San Francisco is a brutal 16 hour drive but I have only done that once though.
I would love to go to Europe someday. Like you said it is so dense with cities and there is a lot of different cultures and countries within a relatively small area. Where in the US have you traveled?
I did not spend time in Japan, nor do I really speak the language. That's why I am making up for my general ignorance by reading up on history and trying to learn new languages (Francais et/y Espanyol maintenant/ahora). I plan to visit Spain next year and I'll be damned if I am not able to converse in Spanish then.
History fascinates me too. If only I had more time from my job.
Anyway, what is Martino doing with the team? I understand that Sociedad was always going to be a tough game, but the scoreline was shocking, to say the least. It's weird that Atletico are basically mirroring Barca's results, but it's hard to see Real dropping any more points on current form
As with Juve and Moggi, many will revel in Barca's misfortune, and enjoy seeing them have results like the one this past weekend. Moggi made a lot of good decisions that brought Juve a ton of success, but he was also a shady character who wasn't averse to using bullying tactics to get what he wanted. While he was a representative of Juve, he wasn't the club. Ditto with Rosell. The board might be worried that resignation would potentially be an admission of guilt (even if done in the interest of defending oneself in court)
I Just wanted to clarify something about what I mentioned a day or two ago about Hugo Chavez. I understand that the notion of 'good' is a relative concept, so that being said, my use of the word 'good' might have been inappropriate as it was used rather vaguely. While I do believe that Chavez had done some good, particularly for Venezuela, I'm also aware of his 'cons' and have acknowledged them as such as well.
I felt like I should explain myself and clarify my stance on the matter. If you actually get to know me, you'll discover that my perception of many of the world's leaders isn't a very good one. This even includes those of Afghanistan and Canada (in case you might have assumed I was biased or something).
I didn't want to drag this on in the Barca forum and instead decided to approach this matter like the gentlemen we are. After all, our clubs love each other so much, why shouldn't we?
P. S I've sent a similar message to Alfrodo since he was also involved
Just look at what some would say about Iran's former president! It's hard to come to definitive judgements nowadays. Everyone has their own agenda, and this prevents the people from understanding the situation at large
Yeah regarding the penalty, it hurt a lot that we lost a man and conceded a goal, but can't blame the ref (let alone blame Barcelona). Navas made a meal of the tackle, he could have been stronger. Demichelis clearly knew he wouldn't catch up with Messi - he should had just put pressure and made it difficult for his little countryman - instead he chose the worst way, bringing down Messi. Deserved penalty. The ref did not have much he could do.
I do think the rules are harsh on the recipient, but they are the rules and Arsenal faced that as well. It is like saying, hey if the offside rule was not present, Pique would have had a goal. So no complaints. Only regrets.
Btw - nobody spoke about how brilliant Alves' goal was.... The little touch that he took to take out two defenders before slotting it between Hart's legs was unbelievable. Or maybe this happens so often that it wasn't worth mentioning? Lol
Anyways, will be a good game in the second leg as well. As far as I've remembered Barca have not held back and parked the bus. They will want to kill the tie in the first 30 mins so will be an exciting one to watch with Kun back as well.
All in all I don't feel so bad about the game because I saw the City team playing valiantly and there is a different satisfaction and pride in that, one that winning does not always provide. Losing to Barca is nothing to be embarrassed about. City are still nouveau to the European scene and moving out of the group stages in style is a good achievement this year. The press overdoes City's chances (quadruple et. Al) but for ardent City supporters this is a very very good year, regardless of the outcomes until the end of this season
