As you all know high powered and high priced BARCELONA played last night at Giants Stadium whipping up on the Red Bull. As I am working the OLYMPIC games at NBC in New York City I have noticed on my daily walk to the studios that Barcelona jerseys were being worn all around the city.
Two days ago BARCELONA held a publicity/practice session in Central Park in the middle of Manhattan. Apparently the BARCELONA bus pulled up to the park and the squad began to jog across the park with their multi-million dollar players.
With green space limited, Central Park is a busy place every night with tons of softball games going. Un-beknowst to Thierry Henry, Rafa Marquez and Samuel Ett’o they jogged right through a softball field in the park elicting this response from a New Yorker who was playing in the softball game………”GET THE ______ OFF OUR FIELD”! You gotta love it…..
The greatest soccer story ever……..well maybe

Any time Rafa Marquez is told to leave any field, home or country, is a good day as far as I’m concerned. I just wish I could have added my voice!
go #$#@ yourself yank
New York douchebags.
People in Boston are much better =
Ha ha. That’s hilarious. Only in America. Glenn- What were your impressions of the US men olympic performance? I thought they played poorly, especially in the back. If the Ref would have called the penalties and the Japanese could finish easy balls, the game could have easily ended 4-1. They really need to step it up for the Dutch and Nigeria.
I agree with alton- there were plenty of missed calls, and the ones I saw were against Japan…which could have had at least one pk.
Bwah ha ha. Welcome to New York. Shouldn’t they notice that peeps are playing softball. Overall this story makes me sad as I am a NYer in Houston for work- AND I MISSED the whole Barca team (whom I adore)’s public appearance? :’(
That is hilarious. Classic New York.
