Shola to make Catalunya his bitch once more

----Xavi-----------Sergi--
Bojan---Soriano----Tello-

Pretty much 9 barca Players, they should get the job done although I'm sure that wont be the XI, lol. And we should totally start calling Piqué GP3 due to his regaining of form.

Catalunya XI:

Casilla
Bartra - Piqué - Puyol - Capdevila
Xavi - Verdú - Víctor Sánchez - Sergio González
Sergio Garcia - Bojan

Victor Valdes has had to withdraw due to an inflammatory left heel.

Sergio Gonzalez makes it 1-0 for Catalunya from the spot. Hand ball charged on Azabiuke.

Catalunya 1-0 Nigeria

Halftime: Catalunya 1-0 Nigeria

They have an actual team???

ahahahaha Nigeria scoreeeeee goooooollllllllllll

what a counter attack by Ahmed Musa off a Catalan corner.. absolutely destroyed and broke down their defense, Musa on a 3v3 passes to Lazio's Ogenyi Onazi who cuts Batra nasty and lasers a left footed shot past Casilla.

Nigeria 1-1 Catalunya

Fulltime: Catalunya 1-1 Nigeria

Tello with a 1v1 from the right corner of the box missed with 1 minute left to play in the game..

oh Tello..

LMAO

Nigeria

Where would they be without the spaniards...

Nigeria

good to see u back

The Cat's hardly had any world-class or known players playing except that backline and Xavi & Bojan...

Valdes; Alba-Puyol-Pique-Montoya; Busquets-Xavi-Sergi Roberto; Tello-Fabregas-Cuenca

That's how I'd line up a full strength Catalonia team. Pretty much Barcelona sans Messi and Iniesta.

Catalunya

Meanwhile just a week ago we blitzed an strong Bolivia 6-1 without most of our best players

Quite frankly Espana wouldn't have won shit without the Catalunyan influence bailing us out.

Keep Fab in the middle and put Bojan up front...
