It might seem like hyperbole, but this year's Barça squad may not only be one of the greatest teams in soccer history, but possibly one of the best teams in the history all of professional sport.

5-0 against Mourinho who's never lost a match in his career by more than 3 goals? And that's just cause Barça decided to turn it down a little and sit on the lead.

Sure they've got a way to go, but this afternoon's game shows how special this squad could be remembered.

Barcelona is almost a country of its own within Spain, because of this the club has a very family orientated feel to it. The players are all very close, as are the staff. Madrid are pretty much the opposite, everything is business and most of there players are mercenaries.

I saw Barcelona at the Camp Nou a few years ago when Ronaldhino was at his best and Messi had just broken into the team. Ronaldhino scored the goals but Messi was easily the best player on the pitch. Even then (at the age of 18 I reckon) you could tell he was something special.

Well, they basically have most of the best players from the best international team in the world, arguably the best forward from the World Cup, and unquestionably the best player in the world running their midfield.

Just stay the fuck away from Fabregas.

They're doing it the right way though. Puyol, Pique(*), Xavi, Iniest etc...all came through there youth system. Even the likes of Messi were signed young and molded into a world class player, plus Fabregas is a product of the Barcelona youth set up and was signed by Arsenal.

*Pique played with Manchester United for a while but spent most of his youth career with Barcelona.

      Sat. News and Notes

      We didn’t need a 50/50 ball receiver. We need guys who can create separation for Bryce to pinpoint the ball to at all levels of the defense. Tet may figure it out a few years from now but he will struggle to beat man coverage due to his lack of acceleration and what seems to be relatively slim frame.    The offense functioned much better with Theilen last season because of his ability to create separation from defenders. I don’t know why but that is Bryce’s go-to rather than a 50/50 ball which, in the NFL, is a throw you may make two times per game.    i wanted Tyle Warren because I feel he can end up being very much like Kelci and how he operates in space and how that chemistry between he and Mahomes doesn’t need a playbook. Then you’ve got Matthew Golden who is apparently burning everyone at Packers camp right now. He is very much like Antonio Brown.    We clearly made the pick we made so I should get over it. I think everyone is hoping for Mike Evans here but at best I think we may get a smaller DK Metcalf? Given what we know about his inability to break coverage at UA-Tuscon, it’s going to be even harder in THA LEAGUE.

      For those thinking Renfrow isn't making the team...Ha!

      By Zaximus · Posted

      With how WR starved we've been over the years I'll gladly take 7 on the roster.  There will no doubt be injuries so it gives flexibility and also makes it easier when someone needs to rest for a week for a nagging injury if someone else can step up.   The Renfrow story has been great.  Dude was on the couch dealing with some real stuff the last year and probably misses playing and is going all out.  And basically his hometown team, near his family, it's like a perfect storm.  We already knew he ran amazing routes and is a third down machine.  AT isn't going to be around forever but Renfrow could slide into that vet leadership role in the future.

      Deion Sanders health issues

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I hope Deion will be well now, he's been battling a lot of health issues, as do almost every person of his or our age. Even one of the greatest athletes of his time has had to battle with health issues and thankfully it seems like he's been on top of things. Learn from him and stay on top of things, especially after 40. You really, really aren't as young as you feel.
