Any Rumors On Barcelona coming to the Bay Area to play the Quakes?

I thought they were playing Inter or some other club in SF? There was a topic concerning this a while ago.

***Edit***
What I mean is, Barca is playing a Euro club in SF.

 

The only big club match announced so far for the Bay Area is Inter vs. America at Stanford.

 

Beat me to it. That's the only international match around here I think we've heard of. Has anyone hear anything about Barca playing the Quakes?

 

I heard Game B was going to be good, but no specifics.

 

I think Barca qualifies as "good". Even if it's the B or C team.

 

Where did you hear this? TMZ?

 

I hate Barca but I love my Quakes. That means I will be there. Let's see if my Quakes is as bad as my other favorite team Real Madrid. I think if we don't lose 2-6 then we are not too bad.

Oh, please, don't tell me later it is Barca vs another Mexican league team. Sick of it.

 

I'm thinking that's going to be the case. Quakes haven't played against any of the "major" names, except for Club America at Candlestick back in September 2003!

CD FAS last year was nice but it would be a major shock if the Quakes' opponent was Barcelona. Also won't be at Buck Shaw--put the game, again, at the Stick--wind, cold, crap anemities, and all.

(Of note: rather watch a local team play than Inter/America duel it out at Stanford...)

 

I don't imaging they'd put the Quakes vs anyone at the Stick. It would either be Oakland or Stanford.

 

Don Garber makes no mention of a third MLS club taking on Barcelona:

 

Oops that's right, got confused.

Anyways, anybody think the Quakes who played against NYRB could beat Barca?

 

I doubt Barcelona would agree to play at Oakland, so if it even happens it would have to be at Stanford. Somehow, I can see this "west coast" game going to Rio Tinto.

 

Oh, sure. Hands down!

 

At hopscotch maybe.

 

Sure. Eto and Messi are too slow and too easy for Gray and Garcia. Corrales and whoever playing in CM can rander Iniesta and Xavi useless. Don't even worry about that ugly big head named Puyol at the back. Weaver can dribble past him in no time. Denton will also keep Daniel Alves at bay all game long. And Henry who?

I will say Quakes 1 Barca 0. Alvarez dribbles from the left side of the wing to the middle and his righted foot shot beats Valdez easily. It is asisted by Garcia's long ball from the back.

 

personally I think if Barca play a full squad i'm gonna guess 7 - 0. Because i don't think the Galaxy will touch the ball.

 

HAHAHAHAHA..Oh wait, you were serious?

 

Don't count on it, Rio Tinto and Salt Lake will most likely get it
And even if the Bay Area gets the last stop it will be Barcelona vs Some mexican team that many of us are tired of.

 

Well it's not like the Quakes would beat Barca even if we were in first place. Nevermind the Quakes in their current state...

Hell the Galaxy are going to lose bad even if Barca plays their B team.

 

A few years ago I went to a double header of Barcelona v Chivas Senior and The Revs v Chivas Junior. They drew 92K, and that year the ticket sale average looked like Chivas Junior actully had fans.

I would not be in favor of sending the Quakes up against a Champions League finalist, but a double header at Oakland could really pad our numbers.

 

i personally am still hoping our B game is vs. Spurs. But a double header would be good also.
