The Showtime piece will probably go more in-depth. It is a sports program so they can cater it more to sports fans. Plus its the top story of the episode, unlike the CBS version where it came after 2 other stories. I expect the Showtime episode will look at Barca fans in the United States a bit.
I live in Atlantic Canada. I watched the 'Barca segment' on CBS 60 minutes. I thought too much info was compressed in such a short segment. BTW, I am watching 60 minutes for a long time, and was pleasantly surprised when they picked up 'Barca Story'. I am sad that I will not be able to watch 'Showtime' program on Wednesday. The program wil not be available in this part of Canada. Any info on 'streaming' will be appreciated. It will be interesting to read Madrid fans reactions to this program.
5 Barca players made it on the FIFA XI: Alves, Pique, Messi, Xavi and Iniesta. Pretty ridiculous that all 11 players are from La Liga. No love for Pirlo and/or Buffon! They went undefeated with Juventus and reached the Euro final. And have to admit that RVP had a great year even though he comes across as a twat!
Del Bosque the only right choice. Btw, is it just me or does the middle-pic nominee always win? Like, when they show the faces of the nominees just before announcing the winner, always the middle one? Kinda predictable FIFA.
There's no logic in it. I could understand the Spanish players that won the Euro making the team, but Alves and Marcelo? Come on! This is just embarrassing. It's a global game!
The Scottish singer (Amy McDonald?) and now Hope Solo... drool. But seriously, a US player presenting the award to 2 teammates plus Marta?! Aaaand, Wambach wins. Didn't see that coming.
Cannavaro comes on stage stays silent for 5 seconds and looks at Gullit and says "What do you want ?"
So... is four in a row some kind of record or something? Side note: went to a USWNT friendly a little while ago and TV doesn't do her justice. Hope Solo is SMOKING hot in person. Even better looking than Gilmango and my fellow Cal alumnus, Alex Morgan. Who's this Scottish lass?
Anyone think Cannavaro had a sudden flashback when he opened the envelope...? MESSI BALLON D'OR MESSI MY BALLS MESSI OHH MY POOR BALLS
