Over the last two days I watched Barca tie Werder Bremen 1-1 through UEFA.com online. I wish the picture quality were better, and sometimes the stream stalled, but I'm a true fan of soccer on demand online (for a small monthly fee). There's no beating the convenience.

Barca tied the game in the last minute with a terrific play by Messi, who's an obvious talent. He's lightning quick and has great close control. On the other end of the age spectrum, Thuram played quite well. I'm impressed with him. He's a steady, powerful defender who takes the ball from people. He makes it look easy.

Ronaldinho didn't do much, and that seems to be the case in many of the games I've seen him in. Not sure why that is -- are opponents completely keying on him (Werder swarmed him when he got the ball) or is it something else?
