FC Barcelona vs Parma [R]

[Oscar]

Second half of this training game has just begun, and the half time score was:

FC Barcelona vs Parma 4-2

With 2 goals from new guy Riquelme, of which you could frame one...damn good goal. Rivalwho? :D

This game is part of the Amsterdam Tournament, sunday Barcelona will play the home playing team in Ajax.

But, the 2nd half of this game is still taking place right now....

..and it ends with 4-2 for Barcelona.

Second half wasn't half as good as the first, this also because both teams started doing the allowed 5 substitutions in the latter half.

Saw a good FC Barcelona in the first half, maybe a little too weak in the back against Parma's attackers, but then they played with only 3 defenders. Both newbies, Mendieta and Riquelme, played good.

Too bad van Gaal's team won't play Manchester United in this tournament, I'd like to see this team perform against better opposition than Parma or Ajax, but still a good performance by Barcelona in the 1st half.

I've been a huge fan of Riquelme and I think it's a shame he hasn't gotten more chances in the Argentine national team. Hopefully he can keep up the good work and carry this into the season. But more importantly that first goal was great!!

I was shocked that he did not make the Argentinan World Cup team!

Great player.

Argentina's best 2 players next world cup will be Saviola and Riquelme.
