An FC Barcelona love letter

Johnny's feeling the Barcelona tonight. With Mrs. Johnny's blessing (She said wear it) Johnny wore his retro Barca jersey out to dinner tonight and gave the fist bump of victory to a few fellow Blaugrana fans in NYC. In 11 years this club has won the league title 7 times and the Champions League 4 times. A treble is a league title, a Copa Del Ray (all nations have these national cups, in England it's the FA Cup) and a Champions League title. They became the only team to ever win two of those. Today was their 60th game and Neymar finished off their 50th win with this clincher sending Las Rablas into a din.

The experts said the 2011 Barcelona team (With NYCFC's David Villa riding shotgun to Lionel Messi) was the best club team ever. Until tonight. In the Champions League this year FC Barcelona beat the champions of Holland, the champions of England, the Champions of France, the champions of Germany and today they beat the champions of Italy. They didn't draw any other league's second or third best. A dynasty of the highest order. A 25th trophy for the magnificent Xavi. 

Neymar is 23, Suarez is 28 and Messi is 27. If Suarez doesn't bite anybody anytime soon Johnny's gonna bust out the 'It's a Barcelona world we just live in it' speech.

World Cup Today -- Day 14

Two weeks in and things are starting to shake out. Enjoy today, tomorrow things get nutty all over again.

The early games give you one really watchable choice. You CAN watch already eliminated Bosnia-Herzgovina play one point Iran OR you can watch Lionel Messi and Argentina try to close out group play with a perfect record over Nigeria, still in shape to make it out of the group as well. Your choice. It's your house.

The later matches bring some intrigue as chances are Ecuador is going to need some kind of result over one of the tournament's brighter teams, France. You'll remember back at the beginning Johnny said France was a dark horse to keep an eye on. They have been superb. Switzerland is playing on three points, same as Ecuador. Switzerland has a playdate with the little CONCACAF team that couldn't get over the hump, Honduras. The Hondurans will play hard and they are a big strong team that can maybe knock Martina Hingis into next week but we see Switzerland winning. Keep an eye on the Ecuador vs. France game, that'll be a firecracker.

OK, the bite yesterday. What a classless guy Luis Suarez is. He may seriously have some kind of mental issue to not just fight back by biting but to use it to GAIN the advantage. That is seriously messed up. Plus, look at him, he has giant horse teeth. Those things have to hurt. Like Johnny mentioned yesterday on the Twitter, Milton Bradley could come out with an updated version of Hungry Hungry Hippos and instead of hippos use Luis Suarez heads. He's gotta go. Liverpool is trying to desperately unload Suarez to either Real Madrid or Barcelona it is said and probably feel a lot like Duke and Duke at the end of Trading Places watching their price drop knowing he might not be playing in quite a few World Cup and Champions League games.
