A little preview of tomorrow's cup final between Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona:

Is this Bilbao line up supposed to be some sort of a joke?

Forget Messi. Iniesta is beautiful with the ball.

And oh how I miss wee Javier.

[Everything's Dandy]

73.

Freak of a player.

Congratulations Barca, 14 trophies for Guardiola in 4 seasons. Even Bob'd be proud of that.

[maxi90]

the interesting thing will be to see if Barcelona can keep their form now that Guardiola is gone.

[Everything's Dandy]

They will. As long as Tito doesn't try and change anything drastically, it's just about regaining some of that hunger and fight they lost at times this season. Messi will have his first rest for 4 years this summer too. Oh and Villa will be back for August.

I feel so bad for Bilbao and its fans, always making great runs only to lose out in the end.

Truly sad news! The last ten years of his life must have been very difficult, lost his wife in 02', son two years later, then his father last year.

So, two games in season and Real has one point. Barcelona according to all should´ve lost against Ossasuna, but Messi &Co. managed to snatch victory to put them five points clear, but losing Puyol in the process. Tomorrow's the second leg of the Spanish Supercup, any predictions?

[Juli26]

I predict a boring game... like all matches between RM and Barca in the last 2 years

[maxi90]

I predict that Messi will score at least once

What the hell is up with Barca's kits this year? To much fun with gradients!

Seriously? La manita was boring? The two legs of the Supercopa last year were boring? The Clasico in December as well? Damn, mate, you've got some pretty serious definitions of boring. I suppose you also fell asleep during the City - QPR game, right?

About the shirts - they couldn't make the blue stripes any smaller after last year As for the alternative colors, better than the mint-green of last year

Home kit: OK-
Away kit: Horrible

[Juli26]

They look like WORD art gradients xD

And yes, the games were boring except the last league game last season.

All the other ones were basically Barcelona keeping 70% of the ball while Real defended deep and caused lots of fouls while at the same time Barca players fell to the ground like they were olympic divers. Then the red card and the fight. Same old story.

I wondered why you picked the last game last season, when it was boring as hell, exactly the way you described it and then it hit me. The difference with all the other clasicos was that this time Real won. And unless I´m mistaken, you're an Inter fanboy, which explains a lot good luck mate, invent some new repertoire.

The home's *ok* when it's not being played in. It's an abomination when the players are in it and sweating, it just soaks it all up and... ugh.

Somebody needs sacking for those 'designs'.

You cant teach a blind man how to see. I chose that game because it was the game with the most shots on goal by both sides. Yes I am an Inter fan. Yes I hate divers like Busquets. No I'm not partial. I like Iniesta for example. I dislike Coentrao, Marcelo, Cristina etc for example... but a blind man can't really see. He sees only what he believes to be there according to his perception.

Yay, i hitted the mark! Where´s my cookie?

[classical_hero]

Well done Messi.
