There is a funny story attached to the fans of FC Barcelona which are referred to as ?culs?; this translates to ?ass? in the Catalan language. As the story goes the FC Barcelona fans sat on the highest row in the stadium with their culers on show to the passersby hence the name of culs being applied to the Barcelona fans. The players make the team what it is with their unity and correct attitude making this club one with more victories than any other club.

When the game is played fairly you couldn?t ask for a better competition.

You might wonder what makes this team so much better than all the rest. Well it?s simple: Barcelona has a fantastic youth program where the young players are brought up. Sure there are the big money players but they don?t make a whole team: someone needs to be there to back them up or pass the ball to them so they can score. The young players wait patiently on the sidelines to get their turn at the big game but it takes time and preparation for the big time. This is where the basis for a good team comes from: you can buy the big players but the rest of the team is formed from the young ones playing on the second squad until they get their chance. If you take a little time out and go to watch the second squad play you will appreciate what they ago through before they are chosen to play on the number one team and all this training is not cheap.

When on a day out from your BARCELONA ACCOMMODATION you have made up your mind to become a fan of the world?s greatest sport. Don?t worry about reading up on the Barcelona club: it?s posted on the internet when something important happens hence you will get all the information you require no matter where you are in the world. Take some time and study each player getting to know them and their lifestyle then you will begin to love the team even more. You are now a culs but don?t show it off too much.
