FC Barcalona continued with their excellent start to the season with a 2-0 victory away at the Coliseum Alfonso stadium in Getafe. Goals from Ibrahmovic and Messi took Barca to a not so convincing victory against a tough Getafe side. This victory has taken us to the top of the table and we will be looking to hold onto that top spot no matter what. I may not have predicted the scoreline correctly but I did predict that Ibrahmovic will score in this game; so I got some predictions right. This game was not the most beautiful by any means but this victory will mean a lot in the context of the season. We had developed this habit of dropping points after a international break especially away from home in the last couple of seasons. Taking that into consideration this three point will be very valuable. Guardiola decided to rest many of his international stars. Valdes started in the goal. Puyol, Txigrinski , Pique and Abidal formed the defense. As expected Toure partnered with Xavi and Keita in the middle. The front line was a bit of surprise with Pedro and Jeffren partnering Ibrahmovic.Sep 13, 2009

Getafe vs Barca Preview
La LIga will be back to full swing after a week absence due to international matches. Barca will be travelling to Getafe to carry on with their excellent start of the season. Marquez and Iniesta are both declared fit for tonight's encounter. There are rumours that Pep Guardiola has already dropped Marquez from the squad. Iniesta also is not expected to start the match but definitely will get some playing time in the second half. Messi and Alves has only arrived back to Barcelona on friday and both are expected to be rested for this encounter. Messi's confidence after Argentina's disastrous qualification campaign should be very low. Meanwhile Getafe temporarily occupy the top spot in La Liga after their victory last week. Getafe is going through a great run of victories and will definitely like to continue on their good run. For Barcelona complacency will be a great factor which will decide the match. Getafe always is a difficult place for Barca to visit and if the player are going to be a bit complacent we could be in real trouble. Sep 10, 2009
Maradona's Boys Digs Their Own Grave
On a night when European Champions Spain and England booked their place in next year's; Argentina added more worries to their cause by losing against Paraguay. A well below par Argentina went down to a solitary goal against Paraguay; this victory sealed Paraguay's place in South Africa. Argentina lies in fifth place with 22 points. They are out of the automatic qualifying spot and looks utterly dis-organised in their last three matches. Meanwhile Dani Alves started in Brazil's 4-2 destruction of Chile. Nilmar scored a wonderful hat-trick and Baptista added a fourth. Meanwhile Sweden won their match against Malta with an own goal. Portugal also won their match against Hungary and now lies in the thrid position behind Sweden. Thierry Henry scored in France's 1-1 draw against Serbia, France were reduced to ten men in the match. France lies second in the group with four points behind Serbia.
