the good thing is, that we will have a good break from the international games for a while..and I suppose that our men had came back home with minimal losses "injuries". although, our Euro champions and Messi played had the graetest deal of playing time in the last months wich could show it's negative effect as the league goes on.

totally unrelated to barca, but dunga has to be one of the worst managers around. he totally sucks. from his team selection to his tactics. what a clown. perfect situation of an ex-player given too much with no justification. risky strategy (so far workign alright for us however).
