As some of you may know I'm a major fan of the real football, i.e., the kind actually played with one's feet. One of my greatest passions is the glorious FC Barcelona. In fact, I'm a member of the New York City Penya (i.e. fan club), one of thousands throughout the world.
On Saturday, December 13, at 4 p.m. EST, Spain's super clasico will take place: Barcelona against the dreaded team that Franco was a fan of, Real Madrid. Nevada Smith's, a bar centered around the beautiful game is the best location to see the game and I plan to attend the game there. It's at 74 Third Avenue between 11th & 12th. Count on it being standing room only: Barcelona is currently leading La Liga Primera by 6 points over Villarreal and has a staggering +35 goal differential (the aggregate difference between goals scored and goals given up) after only fourteen games.
So how about a meetup there? It would be great to see Catalan nationalism strike a harsh blow against fascism 
and share a few beers!
I'll be the one with the Barcelona rugby shirt on.
Visca el Barça!
