first off i must give my congrads to soccerlens and Nig for starting this blog for Barca, and the can look forward for my continuous participation.
Barca with three representitives should be proud, though i don’t actually agree with some additions, i’ll let them slide.

I look forward to your contributions, Impulse. Personally I don’t understand how Cannavaro and Terry get in the team. I’m not sure about Buffon and Nesta but then I don’t see that much Italian football. And Ronaldinho’s probably only in for his reputation
