Barça are in Mexico doing the pre-season and will play in some hours their first game against
Monterrey. These are two images of one of the trainings that Barça have done in Monterrey's stadium, with 35,000 people that have paid to see it:





After the game Barça will travel to Los Angeles.

35,000 for a training session!?! Not bad!!

Barça 3 - Tigres de Monterrey 0

6' Balderas owngoal
70' Ronaldinho
77' Gudjohnsen

Ronnie is back
Nice start for Eidur.

Great start for Eidur. Will be a great relief to get off the mark, hopefully he can build on it.

In some hours Barça will play against Chivas in Los Angeles. All the tickets for the game (92,650) have been sold.

Are they playing in the Colisium cos Chivas' stadium only hold 27,000 ?

Yes in the Coliseum

thanks putrum, you are the best.

And putrum, do you know this kid:

He seems to be very talented and I hope he is our player.

Barça 1 - Chivas Guadalajara 1

74' Gudjohnsen
80' Diego Martínez

For what I have read, the game has only been good in the second half, when Ronaldinho has played. Another goal of Gudjohnsen

Yes is Giovanni dos Santos, a mexican player that plays in Barça B (Barça youth team), is 17 years old. Is the best young player that we have in youth teams together with Bojan Krkic. He is doing the pre-season with the first team with more players of the youth teams. But I don't think that he plays with the first team official games this season. Perhaps next season, he is still young.

Here you have a video of some Barça very young players with Ronaldinho

Messi was young when he started playing for the first team too.

Got my tickets for Barcelona first game Toyota Cup. Hope all the stars will come.


-------------------------------------------------

Messi started when he was 18 years old I think. Giovanni dos Santos is 17 years old. And moreover Giovanni dos Santos still can't play official games with the first team because he has mexican nationality and would need a nationality of European Comunity to play, like for example Italian, Spanish, French,........ I hope that he gets it during this season.

Now Barça are in Houston and have visited the NASA. Have talked to the astronauts that are in the space station.

Some have visited sick children as well. That's a good thing.

putrum, what do you think of gudjohnsen so far? He has scored 2 goals in 2 games all from ronnie.
_______________

Gudjohnsen will be good for Barça but I don't know if he will do the things that Larsson did.

Barça 4 - América de México 4

Barça's defense didn't play well and Barça were losing 4-1. Scored Marquez, Saviola, Ronaldinho and Eto'o.

How many matches have they played there in Mexico/USA until now?

I wonder if this won't harm them for the rest of the season...

They have played 3 games in America and will play another against New York Red Bulls

70,500 spectators in the Reliant Stadium of Houston for the game Barça - América de México.







And for the last game that Barça will play in America and that will be in New York, all the 75,000 tickets of the Giants Stadium have been sold.

It seems that Barcelona has copied the american tour of Real Madrid, the same tour that everyone critizised last year, and the year before. Let's see what happens this season...

I have watched the game. Ronnie seems to be loved there. He did a good game, saviola too.
Eto'o goal was fantastic.

Raul, we dont have models in our club so it is alright.
