FC. Barcelona vs Real Madrid

After seeing the title of the entry, you already know what this is going to be about.

Let me start saying that i'm neither a follower of FC. Barcelona nor Real Madrid but i'm a great fan of soccer in general so lets say that i talk from a objective point of view, and lets keep clear that the first reason why i'm here writing is to talk about what this soccer match means and maybe at the end i'm going to give my opinion on who is going to win but, i want to focus on the meaning of the game.

First we have to have in mind the fact that this particular match is going to be seen by millions of people worldwide(including people that don't follow soccer). This game is an enourmous event in the world of soccer because two of the biggest teams if not the biggest(with the respect of the others) and "enemies for life"(they are like Homer and non-alcoholic drinks) face each other in the field. If that is not enough, we have to add the fact that they reach this point of the "Liga Profesional de Fútbol"(LFP) both with the same points, so this particular match can be decisive to win the league; FC. Barcelona has won everything last year, so the Real Madrid wants revenge in some way; this is the only competition in where the Real Madrid is alive, the only one that can prove that the vast sum of money spent in bringing some of the better players of the world to this club was worth something; both teams have the best players of the world, Cristiano Ronaldo(Real Madrid) and Lionel Messi(FCB) are 2008 and 2009 respectively winner of the "Ballon d'Or", "The Golden Ball", referred to as the European Footballer of the Year award, so we can expect one hell of a game.

So, having that said and seeing what this soccer match brings with it, lets talk about what i really wanted to talk, the impact on the spanish culture.

We can say that this game is so attached to the spanish culture as the "tortilla española" or the "paella". In the week before to this game, people,television,radio dont talk about other thing rather than this, maybe i'm exagerating but you know what i'm talking about and you can picture it. You know it's going to be the biggest event of the week even if a bomb makes dissapear, i dont know, Venezuela for example haha.

That's a week before but then there is the day of the game, in this day, the streets are desolated like in the Wild West, the country is paralized, where is all the people? The answer is BARS or their houses, and they are seeing the game of course haha, its a soccer country, you know. This happening can only be surpassed by a soccer match of the Spanish National Team in the Worl Cup, or if one day pubs decide to give alcohol for free, haha, that would do it too. Everybody wants to see the game, even if you are from another team, like me, or don't like soocer as much because you know you are going to have a good time with friends. If you are like me then you enjoy, apart from a nice soccer match, to laugh at your friends face, haha, its the best!, because whoevers win the game, you dont care, you only mess with them, and annoy them when the other team scores and stuff like that haha, you get the point.

Well after saying all this, and leaving clear that this game is more than just another soccer match, i'm going to get my feet wet for a little and say that FC. Barcelona is going to win, i leave it there.

Talking about soccer, i have to go now, im going to play it with some friends now, haha. See ya
