Let battle commence.
This is futbol. Not soccer.

It’s always great to watch these two teams play. I love football! I hope to catch one of these games live someday.
Me too – but for now, I had to watch it on a large TV screen with lots of enthusiastic (mostly Real Madrid) supporters! 🙂
I watched it with my dog who didn’t care at all about the game 😉
How odd! 😉
I can do without soccer…When will Spain field a Rugby team!!!
I love rugby too, but you obviously didn´t see my post about rugby, a couple of weeks ago! 🙂

Ooh I’d love to be in Spain for this! I’m at home visiting my family, so I’m missing the massive party my barcelonés friends are throwing. Who are you cheering for?
I would love to be at this match, but it´s virtually impossible to get tickets unless you are a season-ticket holder.
Who am I cheering for? I can´t choose between them, so I will be cheering for BOTH! 🙂
Dare you predict the result?
Hmmmm …. the short answer is NO!
will you be watching?
OH YEAH!
