    The Dundee United vs. FC Barcelona game from Tannadice; this was an incredible game. Everything about it. The tempo, the intensity, the flair, the toughness, the crowd, the goals, the tension, the exhiliration.

    Barcelona cheated to win a late penalty but United dominated the game and proved themselves to be one of the finest sides in the world.

    Barcelona is currently ranked #5 in some phony world rankings system. Above Arsenal, LA Galaxy, Chivas, Real Madrid, PSG, Orlando Pirates, Richmond Kickers, and many more!

    They were playing a bottom-of-the-table SPL side. And Dundee United sold Craig Brewster to Aberdeen last season.

    There is no excuse when MLS snobs underappreciate the SPL, they're beating the top teams in the World left and right in meaningful competitions, such as some silly thing called the Champions League (prolly a rip off SuperLiga, LOL!).

    This was a classic, classic game. SPL at its best. If you missed it, you missed an incredible game.

    In all seriousness, if Dundee United played their best game of the season, and your beloved hometown underachievers (like our beloved hometown underachievers) rose up and played a near world-class game, injecting some pride into your town, then that was indeed some great soccer action worth watching!!

    If there were any folks in the greater Dundee area who skipped that game in favor of watching Arsenal re-runs, and if the Scottish sports media ignored the whole event, then you'd know what MLS fans feel like.

    (If I lived in Scotland, I would have been cheering my head off for Dundee United.)

    In other all-important Scottish friendly results, Celtic - freshly returned from being undefeated by MLS club sides on their US tour - were given a masterclass by a Newcastle United side lacking both Keiron Dyer and Michael Owen, and which also had to play a reserve goalie as an outfield player for the last 10 minutes. Final score, 4-1 to Newcastle.
