Barcelona Charity Event Open To Public: Prizes and more!

By: Dave Martinez | August 5th, 2008

FC Barcelona and MalariaNoMore.org are teaming up today for a special charity event on the lower west side – and you are invited!

The “More Than A Game” event will feature a 4 v 4 tournament, with teams including Thierry Henry, Eric Abidal, Xavi Hernandez, Rafael Marquez, Carlos Puyol, Iniesta, Bojan and Daniel Alves.

It will be held at the Chelsea Waterside Park (23rd street and 11th avenue) at 5pm TODAY.

All proceeds, of course, will go to MalariaNoMore.org. Each year, hundreds of thousands die of illness, when a simple net, which costs $10 a piece, is all that is needed to prevent such tragedy. Anyone who has gone to the Caribbean and slept under these things will attest to what I am saying. Its an extremely worthwhile and nobel cause which I would encourage everyone to participate in.

This promises to be a very open and fun atmosphere – a chance to meet some of the worlds best players, in an intimate setting, for a great cause.

I will be there representing the Offside – so do not hesitate to give me a holla! See you at 5pm!

DC is right up with the Sox for me. The only reason I dont bad mouth DC on this blog is because of good people like BlueMeanies and Catherine-Lucia, who are DC fans, but good and objective ;). Blanketing everyone scum on here isnt right to good ones.
ajani

who needs dc when boston is around? eh?
Dave Martinez

Antonio - thank you.

And now, I will patiently wait for theoffside to fire me for starting a baseball thread.

Jorge - I applaud you. That was seriously funny. Excuse my obvious bias. All we can agree on is that Manny is finally someone elses pain in the ass. Thank god.

Ok. Back to my Barce post.

PS: Did I mention I went to that fatal game 7 with a Red Sox fan in the bleechers? Ya. Fun times.
Jorge

Dave Martinez

Gabe - The Mummy?!?! Oooof.

Jorge - I hate the Sox. I had to sit there at Yankees Stadium, game friggin 7, and walk away as Boston celebrated. I HATE the Sox.

Ill have a write up on todays events. See yall soon.
Gabriel

I was about 4 blocks away from this today. went to the movies instead :( the mummy sucked!
Jorge

Gents,
Lets leave this spot open for footy talk...but now that we got some good sox talk going..lets do this.
Manny had to go. The organization put up with this for over 8 years. I was one of the manny apologist here in boston..and after the events that he has been evolved this year...there was nothing more to apologize about. He was not trusted as a player or person. He took days off when he wanted..perfect example was that friday night game against the yanks...he decided not to play and that was it...and then the other incident of him pushing a 64 year old man cause he could not get him tickets...cmon now
was it an awful trade..yes..did we give up too much to get rid of him.YES. but if he was still around..the season would have been over..and this would have been like 2006 all over again..
Antonio

The Manny trade was terrible.

I know his "actions" were a little, crazy. But, you've got to learn to put up with it. He IS a FURTURE HOF.

Well, he was a Yankee killer as well. So, better for us. :)

P.S.- Hard loss yesterday. Huh? (Any news on Joba?)
ajani

i envy new yorkers.

Phil - I just edited in that important word "TODAY" . . . come through, enjoy some soccer, and say hello!

phil

Dave Martinez

Oh I am down for an I HATE BOSTON thread. lol. Not my cup of tea. And not to get too far away from footie, but my god, what were they thinking trading Manny?
BMatthews

I would have let you be the photog Dave because I'd win that raffle. haha. God I hate the Red Sox (more mlb), but I'm down the street from fenway right now and its gonna be a bitch to get home.
Antonio

Boston sucks. :)

Go Yanks!!!!!

Sorry for the baseball referance, but I had to do it.
Dave Martinez

BMatt- you could have been my photographer for today! lol. Boston always stinks doesnt it?
BMatthews

NY gets all the good events, I can't wait to move back. One more year of a shitty job in Boston
