Years have gone by and I've finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good soccer. I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: "A pretty move, for the love of God."
And when good soccer happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don't give a damn which team or country performs it.
brett-- Indeed. It was truly a remarkable performance and it whets the appetite for Wednesday's match with Chelsea.
Fredorrarci-- True, she did praise them. At least she's watched Barca this season... unlike some of the other English press it seems. I'm specifically thinking of, I think, it's the Times reporter from last week. Might be wrong about that, though.
I make no predictions about Wednesday's match. But Chelsea's whole anti-football performance last week was abysmal to watch.

What a game!
In fairness, she did celebrate Barcelona not so long ago.

Cheers!
I take your point. For all English football's supposed new-found cosmopolitanism, it can be embarrassingly insular, at least in the media.
