6 Catalunya players, 6 Spain players, 4 England players....

We have same players as all of spain and more than england, Catalunya should win world cup

 

[Mandieta6]

David Villa is from Asturias, Torres is from Madrid, and Iniesta is from Castilla-La Manche, although he might feel like he's catalan since he's been there for most of his life.

And you're not Catalan, you're just a Barca supporter. Some of you are really retarded.

 

[Arnau]

yes, Casillas is from Madrid as well.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Only 1 player from the team which was runner up in the CL and winner of the EPL? 5 Chelsea players?? Give me a break. Thats completely bull****. Terry is there but no Vidic. WTF is Drogba doing there? Wow great selection. Messi will win it anyway no doubt. The other players are just to fill up the spots.

First off good job on your google search...

I was talking about the Barcelona team as "team catalunya" but here you are trying to start dumb sh*t again like a little girl

Who cares if I'm not from there, I have loved the club and the culture and the history for a very long time...

You are Israeli who resides in spain, what the f*ck kind of connection do you have to chelsea, you prick!

 

[cfdemarco]

There is no point in putting anyone except Messi on that list.

 

[Dytza]

Don't discuss about the list. Messi, Iniesta and Xavi +20!

Come on... You were talking about Catalunya National Team not about Barcelona, it´s clear right here:

6 Catalunya players, 6 Spain players, 4 England players....

We have same players as all of spain and more than england, Catalunya should win world cup

^^^^

OMG yes I meant messi is catalan, eto'o is catalan, iniesta is catalan??? WTF

Like posted before, I meant the "6 barca players" as "team catalunya", I just don't know how to make it clearer than this to you guys, read the finggg posts!!!

It was a humurous comment and I don't know why we arguing about this stupid ****, if you chicks really need to have the final word then fine, last post about this stupid argument from me...

 

[Arnau]

you are all glory hunters, none of you knows what a sardana is and feel catalan.

 

[ARIAGA II]

No you imbecile, you said Catalunya, and you messed it up. You are an idiot. And you're supporting a seperatist culture you haven't been a part of simply because the club you support is from there. You're basically deciding your political preference based on football. You're an absolute moron.

Why are you questioning my support for Chelsea? It's questions like that that prove you're stupid because I didn't question your support for Barca. People can support foreign clubs, but you support Catalunya which is a different thing.

You're not making any sense. None of them are catalan, there are 2 catalan players on the list, not 6, you got it wrong, just admit it. You could make it clearer by actually saying Barcelona and not team catalunya, no one can understand that's what you meant.

That's a good tactic, not posting anymore because you've dug yourself in a hole.

And for once, I completely agree with Arnau.

 

[Arnau]

wtf with zapatero? off course messi is.

 

[RobbieD_PL]

you are all glory hunters, none of you knows what a sardana is and feel catalan.

jo sé que és la sardana, és una balla per conèixer amb intencions amoroses las nenas atractivas!

Messi is Catalan. Neither Arnau nor Zapatero can argue this.

Are you sure that you're not confusing Zapatero with Florentino, bybuti?
