FC Barcelona – Lionel Messi Put His Health, Body on the Line for a Championship
Posted on 16 May, 2013, by Riven in SoccerWould’ve Barcelona won the La Liga trophy this season without Lionel Messi playing in the last few matches? Probably, but it would have taken a little longer to secure it, possibly. It would have given Real Madrid a little bit of encouragement and belief that it is possible to do the impossible. But Messi, who hasn’t been 100% for quite some time, wasn’t going to let something minor (or maybe it was a little bit worse than that) slow him down, and prevent him from winning another league championship.

Referees Keep Ruining Big Games (Bayern Munich vs Barcelona)
Posted on 24 Apr, 2013, by Riven in SoccerYes, it wasn’t a fair fight. Bayern Munich steamrolled over Barcelona with a 4-0 victory that already puts them in the Champions League without a real need for a second leg. And yet, the feeling that referee Viktor Kassai messed up one a lot of big decisions, including three goals, gives another example of the crisis in terms of match refereeing football is experiencing, while nothing is done (hint: start using replays) to make things better.

Lionel Messi Proves Everyone Wrong (Barcelona vs AC Milan)
Posted on 12 Mar, 2013, by Peter in SoccerThey always said that this Barcelona team never had a great comeback. It was so good it never needed win. After Lionel Messi took hits and jabs from every possible direction for having three bad matches in the “money time” he silenced everyone in one half, and Barca eventually advanced to the quarterfinals with a 4-0 win.

FC Barcelona – Cesc Fabregas Didn’t Step Up When Needed
Posted on 27 Feb, 2013, by Riven in SoccerIt’s impossible to completely neutralize everyone on the Barcelona attack, so while Lionel Messi was closed down by the usual double and triple teams; Andres Iniesta and Xavi limited in their ability to pass and influence the match, Cesc Fabregas was left as the most available game changer, but unfortunately for Barca, failed miserably.

Cristiano Ronaldo Makes Clasico History (Barcelona vs Real Madrid)
Posted on 26 Feb, 2013, by Riven in SoccerThe revolution wasn’t perfect, but Jose Mourinho changed the dynamics of the Real Madrid – Barcelona rivalry with Real’s biggest win at the Camp Nou in a very long time, while Cristiano Ronaldo continues to bring his best to Clasico matches, and Lionel Messi continues to show his worst in recent big matches.

FC Barcelona – Lionel Messi Brings His Lazy Performance to Clasico
Posted on 31 Jan, 2013, by Riven in SoccerNot every match can be a Lionel Messi masterpiece, and in a match against an opponent that has the ability to make life very hard for him while still gain some control in the midfield, the world’s best player didn’t do anything out of the ordinary to himself be felt.

FC Barcelona – David Villa Hides Lionel Messi’s Weakness
Posted on 4 Nov, 2012, by Riven in SoccerAll the drama and excitement from having a new child looked like they got to Lionel Messi, as everything seemed to be working fine in the Barcelona attack in their win over Celta, especially David Villa, except for when the team’s top scorer touched the ball, trying to do too much all by himself in a selfish display from the best player in the world.

FC Barcelona – Nothing Changes for Lionel Messi
Posted on 28 Oct, 2012, by Riven in SoccerHome, away, hot, rain, dry, cold. Lionel Messi has had better days in terms of his involvement in build up and passing than the 5-0 win by Barcelona over Rayo Vallecano, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s the deadliest scorer in the world when given the smallest of opportunities to add a goal to his incredible record.

FC Barcelona – Jordi Alba Starts Proving his Worth
Posted on 24 Oct, 2012, by Peter in SoccerOn a night in which the Celtic defense looked unbreakable at the back, Barcelona needed a little something special from someone unexpected, and Jordi Alba, who hasn’t the best of seasons up to this point, fell into that certain slot with a dramatic winning goal.

FC Barcelona – Never Ending Lionel Messi Magic
Posted on 21 Oct, 2012, by Riven in SoccerPerfect players don’t come along too often, but Lionel Messi is probably one of the few. Any problem Barcelona were having or usually have this season is simply hidden behind the fact of having the best player in the world, who at times makes us feel that the only reason he doesn’t score more goals is because it’s too easy for him and he gets bored.

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in Swimsuit Calendar Photoshoot
While the Dallas Cowboys are no longer the force they used to be in the NFL, the allure and prestige of being a Cowboys cheerleader is still a thing to envy for some girls (and maybe even boys), and is generally a pleasing thing to see when the ladies join forces to create a swimsuit calender, posing in bikinis on the Mexican island of Cozumel.
