Unfortunately FC Barcelona lost today in the Copa De Rey finals to Real Madrid. The worst part of the match was that Barcelona came lacking the desire or passion necessary to win a big game against an al-star team like Real Madrid. Sure, Barca has the greatest player in the world, as deemed by Fifa, but Real has the second greatest player so never should this game have been taken lightly. I can excuse the tie between the two teams from the game last Saturday but this match up was for a title. Now we won't get to see Barcelona win the triple crown again, well at least not for another year. The final result was too disappointing, a 1-0 defeat in extra time, but man would raising the copa have been nice. I guess we move onwards now to the Champions league.
Still to come today is the second game to the seven game series between the Lakers and the Hornets. I do hope Kobe can muster up the strength to outplay the Hornets and someone on the Lakers roster can actually stop Chris Paul. Chris Paul is an amazing athlete, in the first game he probably could have single-handedly destroyed the entire Laker team only using his left arm. Pau, Lamar, Bynum and Fisher please step it up! Yet, as a true fan I will continue to chant for my team, the defending champs, the Los Angeles Lakers.
