The reigning La Liga Champions, FC Barcelona, pulls out of their proposed league tie in Miami citing a ‘lack of consensus’ while remaining upbeat about one-day scraping studs on American soil. 

The schoolyard opposite my LA pad (my mother-in-law’s house, but LA pad sounds much cooler) is full of basketball courts. There are a few American Football posts. A baseball ‘thing’ or two.

No goalposts.

No nets.
