This is a short debut post for my new, and first, blog, 'Mes que un club de futbol' (translation; More than just a football club). These famous words are at the heart of the team I support, FC Barcelona. 'Mes que un club' (blog name, not available), is stitched into every shirt, and has become as integral to the club as the famous crest itself.
I figure there is no better time to begin a blog on FC Barcelona than right now, in the week preceding the most famous of all derby matches, El Classico, between FC Barcelona, and their eternal rivals, Real Madrid. Between today and Saturday I would like to introduce myself, although, many (well, the few) of you who read this in it's infantile stages know who i am, and why i love FCB, but it's more for archive purposes when 'mes que un club de futbol' becomes a massive blog, with many, many stadium lights, as the saying goes.
My own history of sports is generally filled with disappointment, my hyper-local teams, the Milwaukee Brewers and Milwaukee Bucks have generally been terrible since i've been born. The Brewers making an exception over the last 5 years, and the Bucks that one year. But still, it gives me a somewhat dampened optimism regarding Barcelona, i don't take the wins too high, or the losses too low.
Well, thanks for reading my blog, and i hope you will continue to follow me. As made obvious, i'm pretty new at this, so any input, suggestions, advise on format, what to discuss, blog length, any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.
Until next time, visca Barca!
