    According to Marca, el conejito Saviola was put on the market by LPB...for 5 million Euros.:rolleyes:
    Can't say I feel sorry for him.

    Neither can I! What pisses me off is that LPB are going to profit from selling him since they got him for free... :cool:

    yea on telemundo, if u live in america, its gonna be early at 3 am, they will show them during the day though.
    BTW Honduras might do something in the olympics, we were so close to the second round last time in 2000.
    Brazil and Argie are faves with the teams they bring, but african teams do well in the olympics which could be the demise for the S.Americans.
    From euro i think italy even though they dont have Pato's or Messi's they have alot of good players, Sebastian Giovinco, Domenico Criscito, Marchisio, and Giuseppe Rossi amongst others.

    It will be a good tourney, there are alot of intriguing group phase games.

    Of course that might have something to do with securing his possible transfer.

    This is the first in many acts of Barca being vindictive for what he caused.

    He deserves it. Dinho is no better than Saviola in my eyes.

    He is still under contract, so he does have an obligation to the club. This is a formality and I bet it'll probably go down like this:

    -Dinho refuses to report to pre-season training with Barca
    -Barca threaten to fine him if he doesn't show up
    -Dinho goes to China anyway
    -Barca fine him heavily, but it is still chump change to Ronnie
    -Ronnie eventually gets sold at a deep discount

    Imagine if he sticks around and they have another bizarre Dani Garcia/Robert Enke(? Dutruel?) situation where he is not in the first team plans, but shows up and trains on his own anyway since he's on the payroll? Oh wait, he was doing that anyway :p

    With all the best and all the respect, it just seems to me that Barca is being a little childish.

    I mean ok, Barcelona's and Ronaldinho's relationship has been a huge success, and now that it seems it's close to its end, there's a choice whether to respect each other or treat each other like garbage. Barcelona with its "more than a club" and high moral ethics should treat its own people well.

    If he wants to go, then let him go. If he wants to stay, let him stay. But chaining him while not wanting him to play for you is just, well, sad.

    And on the same level than Saviola? Must just be a bad joke.

    I don't think it's sad. Why should they let him go? So he can sample Chinese nightlife? The club has been more than lenient with him, which is how they got into this mess to begin with. Had he re-paid the club for its leniency by being the world class player he's capable of being, it might've been a different story

    He's a professional with an contractual obligation to his employer. If he doesn't want to be a part of the club, then he needs to have his brother arrange a transfer or pay his buy-out clause himself. Having said that, if Ronnie isn't allowed to go, then neither should anyone else, including Messi.

    I hated the new shirt design enough.
    Now I discover that Doritos is the new sponsor splashed across the shirt. :(
    But you know, the two combined actually makes the new shirt look better.

    Still, I like the new away shirt more.

    Those Habanero Doritos are pretty good. But DO NOT buy the blazing buffalo wings bag... most disappointed culinary experience i've ever had. They're awful.

    But the bag does make a nice shirt color.

    Very funny how one chip led to an oreo...

    Must admit, these "hippie" Oreos look good.
