Saludos de Barcelona: An Estrella was my transfer fee?
Saludos de Barcelona: An Estrella was my transfer fee?
AFR’s Editor-in-chief Eric Beard will be checking in from Barcelona until June whilst studying abroad. He’ll be sharing his (mostly) football-related experiences while exploring the city and beyond.
I have only been around in the Catalan capital for a little less than two weeks (I touched down in BCN on the 15th), but after 4 days I managed to get a tryout with a local team here in the outskirts of city. The pitch was wonderful, just a few minutes away from the Fabra i Puig station on the Red Line. Essentially, after 15 minutes or so of research in addition to watching a Sunday league match while eating lunch, I formally discovered the BIFL. BIFL is an acronym for the Barcelona Independent Football League. Cracking stuff, I know. The tiki-taki philosophy was within the palms of my oddly formed feet, for the sake of the expression.
