There is something cool about going to a local landmark and something so important to the athletic culture of a region. With soccer being such a popular game worldwide, FCB is truly a franchise deep in history and incredible athletes from all over the world. It was hot and crowded and not necessarily the rest the girls might have been wanting the day before a game but at the same time, it was an incredible experience, a nice change of pace from the hotel and most important it is a great way to kick off Worlds and really try to get in the spirit of Barcelona and being at World Championships.
Tomorrow we start off play with Greece. I heard the games will be streamed live by universal sports and shown on TV on a delay. If I find info I'll pass it on. **More info at http://www.usawaterpolo.org/genrel/071113aaa.html
Thumbs up for the power of sport and culture. "More than a club".
