But why did Barcelona bother fielding its starters in that tournament? It's completely useless and gets no coverage.

Good question. Guardiola fielded almost the C team in the last game of the Champions League group stage before the Real Madrid game, and I guess that those players would be good enough to beat the Quataris, but for some reason he fielded a competitive squad today.

We get live coverage here....5 30 am  :lol:

I agree, though, useless tournament.

Good news for Germany.
Not really. It's always sad when a great player misses a big tournament. Especially because of such a useless game. And Villa is already 30, so it isn't certain that he'll still have the class in 2014.  :(

Poor Villa, he's done an Eduardo. :(

Pretty big coverage in Japan. There was quite the fuss here over Messi visiting the country. I guess it might spread into the rest of Asia too, which is good for commercial reasons.
Also the prize money is quite significant.

It's not as severe as that, apparently. What Villa has is a closed stress fracture, with no dislocation. Eduardo missed a full year, while doctors say that Villa might be able to train again in 4 months, but won't recover his form until next season. That is, he could be taken to the Euro cup, but his form would most probably be atrocious.

Can't be worse than Torres.

Jesus christ, he's atrocious lately. The Chelsea board must be knocking their heads against the wall for that signing.

With luck the so-damn-boring Spanish team will be out in the group stage. Thank you Villa!

A hell of a kick he has. And he joins the rare club of keepers who has scored in the premier league, I read it was only 3 others.
