FC Barcelona Football Team (DVD)

Barcelona and its football team.

Advantages: Great city, Very good if inconsistent football team
Disadvantages: Disorganised airport, confusing ring road

Barcelona is a fantastic place - I went there last year with Chelsea's football team, and OK, we got wasted 5-1, but I still loved the place. Even then, last year, the weather was sunny and warm, and the people were very friendly. There are a number of sights in Barcelona, such as the massive Gothic cathedral, the Place de Catalunya in the centre, and the harbour. The number 1 tourist attraction however, is amazingly enough the Nou Camp and its museum, home of F.C Barcelona. Also it is the second biggest tourist attraction in Spain. It holds about 100'000 people, making it one of the biggest stadiums in Europe. F.C Barcelona is not just a football team, it is a sports team, with basketball, hockey and many other sports, as well as arguably the most famous football team in the world.

Review of Barcelona (Spain)

Barcelona F.C, Nou Camp - Tour

Advantages: Get to go in almost evert part of the stadium.
Disadvantages: Highly prices foo and drinks.

The tour is roughly around 17 euros each for an adult. The tour lets you go around the main features pf the stadium. You get to experiance the guest changing rooms where famous football teams like Manchester United and Chelsea have got changed then you also get to go pass the small chapel where the footballers can pray before a match. After that you get to go to the press room where the confrences take place. Then you get to go matchside and see what the stadium is like from the heart. Then you get to sit in the standered seats and then the brodcasting / V ...

Review of Nou Camp - Barcelona F.C.

England Football Team - What is the problem?

Advantages: The talent is there...
Disadvantages: ...money talks

' players? One Rooney doesn't make a World Cup winning team for example. What can be done about the academy system? Well, it should be always under review to prevent a lackadaisical stance, but who should take full control? Originally it was the Football Association who took charge of it, but with the money involved nowadays, often Premier League sides will control it themselves by bringing in the fresh talent from the continent rather than just growing to grassroots, English football. Since the emergence of the Premier League in 1992, the bright hope of our national game has resulted in just one semi-final at a major football championship and regular failure (often on penalties!) on the big stage! Someone needs to take account of this, but whether it's the F.A. or the clubs in the Premier League is an ongoing argument. Is ...
