"It's Called Football" is a Canadian podcast out of Toronto.
I've been on the show three times and despite the feeling I get more incomprehensible every time they keep asking me back.
This is their MLS mid-season show and I'm on babbling about Alecko Eskandarian, the Galaxy and David Beckham. And in that order, too.
Before I forget here's the Barcelona roster for their three-game U.S. tour including Saturday's game against the Galaxy at the Rose Bowl (BTW, I don't think any of their practices are open to the public and the media are being asked not to reveal the locations anyway):
GOALKEEPERS - Albert Jorquera, Jose Manuel Pinto, Victor Valdés
DEFENDERS - Eric Abidal (FRA), Maxwell Andrade (BRA), Henrique Adriano (BRA), Daniel Alves (BRA), Rafael Márquez (MEX), Gerard Piqué, Carles Puyol, Víctor Sanchez, Marc Muniesa, Andreu Fontás
MIDFIELDERS - Sergio Busquets, Xavi Hernández, Andres Iniesta, Pedro Rodriguez, Victor Sanchez, Seydou Keita (MLI), Toure Yaya (CIV), Jonathan Dos Santos (MEX)
FORWARDS - Eidur Gudjohnsen (ICE), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (SWE), Thierry Henry (FRA), Bojan Krkic, Lionel Messi (ARG), Jeffrén Suárez.
(Nationalities of players are Spanish unless otherwise).
Barcelona has arrived in Los Angeles.
I'm the first guest on this podcast. I'll have more MLS season previews in my column Tuesday in the (Los Angeles) Daily News, (Torrance) Daily Breeze and other L.A. papers.
