Barcelona will really sweat to beat Santos. Barca had a tough la Liga, UEFA, etc. They were playing 3 times a week and just after the last game, they were off to Japan and have been playing since. Even well talented players get fatigued and I think the Catalans are not at their best now. Add Vila's terrible injury to the pychological mix and u will not doubt my prediction. Although they are my team, I wont even be surprised if Barca is beaten....

Barca slaughtered Santos.

Europe really is the benchmark these days, South American teams have been left way, way behind.

Hahaha! Yes Mr Kisa, terrible prediction! Football's not hard when you're winning, and Barca have been doing a lot of that recently, and I'm NOT a fan.

I wouldn't really say Europe is a "benchmark" though, when the method of winning is squad hoarding of players, guaranteeing winning, and of whom a large number of which are South Americans who would otherwise have been playing for those very South American teams. Congratulations Europe, you have lots of money, what a benchmark you are.

no worries Rick. the players probably weren't tired but may have looked it due to it being unnecessary for them to at all exert themselves in their 2 games

Thats cool. The rest of the world does though.

??? Benchmark for what?? It can't be a benchmark when there's no competition. Did you understand my post?

Obviously not from your lack of response. I'll explain it in simpler terms if you ask me.
