Okay, I know you think this is maybe the last thing you want to do today. But I have to insist.

It's time for El Classico - the first of two annual match-ups between Barcelona and Real Madrid. This is the big one, folks - the premier rivalry in real football (which many of you call soccer, for some strange reason), and I know you're not fans, and I've heard all the reasons.

But let's just assume the following:

  • You have an open mind
  • You're appreciative of amazing displays of athleticism and a well-fought sporting contest.
  • You trust that I wouldn't lead you astray (okay, that might be a stretch)

At 1:45 EDT today, on BeIn Sports (which many of you get through cable or satellite, but probably haven't noticed), you will see what is generally an ill-tempered and closely fought match featuring arguably the two best football teams in the world and at least a dozen of the world's best soccer players - including Lionel Messi, who may be the best player ever, and Christiano Ronaldo, who is a close second. There will be goals. Play will not be constantly interrupted by interfering referees and commercials. And it will be over in less than two hours.

Give it a try - you might like it. And you'll be able to tell your grandchildren you saw the incredible Messi at the height of his game.

Go Barca!

I am old fashioned and love American football.  I just will not have time to learn another sport.

I honestly don't get that channel. I don't have cable or satellite TV. I will more than likely be at RJs Steakhouse watching football. I'm sure several of my drinks will be free since today is my birthday and I'm like family there.

Hi Dick -I'll add to Roger Mucci's comment -- put on the typical loudly pattened sport coat, pick up a cigar and wink when you say "Trust me....I mean really trust me...."    Have a Funday/Sunday!

Dick,

The Lionel Messi Ultimate Skills Video and music was FANTASTIC! I can only imagine how much fun it is to see in person. What an Adrenalin rush!!! Those guys are amazing!

Thanks! I enjoyed the video and learning about the sport and this team.

Dick,  What the heck.  Did you remember that the Broncos are playing the Pats today???  I know, you must be recording that game...

Hi Dick, thanks for the heads up, but Broncos will get the attention in our house today. Perhaps we'll try to record the Messi Magic. You have definitely intrigued me...

I am watching REAL FOOTBALL.  Now if the Dolphins can just win once this year we will be okay.

Hi Everyone and thanks for your comments. Since you most likely missed the game, I can tell you that it was a 2-2 tie - Messi & Ronaldo both scored twice, and it was a tense, down-to-the-last-minute nail biter - a typically great Classico. BTW, Belinda - what's a bronco?

I totally missed it Dick as I'm reading your comment!  As a matter of fact there isn't any footbal on at our house today......there must be something wrong with my husband or maybe he's lost faith in 'his' broncos.

Anna Banana,

Never lose faith.  Sooner or later they will retire Manning and call back Tebow.

You are the only person "I know" who watches soccer football.  Maybe thats what the Packers were doing today.

Dick,

We missed it, and I love all the comments.  Having lived a part of my life overseas, I do enjoy soccer on a few occasions, the Olympics for one, and the World Cup...It is a tough sport for the US TV because, it is tough to run commercials...not much $$$ in it. LOL A
