Barça, Barça, Barça.

I've had enough of FC Barcelona.

I get it, they're the best football team in the world, maybe the best in recent history.

Their free-flowing, attacking football features superb passing, sublime skills and clinical finishing. Their style is one to emulate and one that makes it compulsive viewing every time they play.

If you tune in to SBS, my old pals Les Murray, Craig Foster and Francis Awaritefe seem to extol the virtues of Barcelona with every waking breath.

And why not, since it fits in with the joga bonito that the late, great Johnny Warren preached. The Barça Way has become something of a mantra for The World Game crew. It's not quite, as someone cheekily suggested on Twitter, the BBS - Barcelona Broadcasting System - although at times it feels like it.

But I've got news for them and the other Barça fanatics: it's unrealistic to expect every other team to play that way.

Of course it would be a wonderful thing, but so would a brewpub staffed by Kate Beckinsale lookalikes.

In today's world of football, it just isn't going to happen. In fact, only a few clubs on the planet can even dream about emulating the Barça style.

Barcelona takes immense pride in the way it plays its football. As Foster has shown in a number of interviews and news pieces on the club and its culture, there's no doubt there is a total commitment to the style and brand of football the club wants to play. And it starts at an early age.

But to think that Wigan or Racing Santander or Inverness Caledonian Thistle can replicate what Barcelona can is rather naïve. And even if a club is able to commit to "Barça-type" football - think Brisbane Roar - how long will they be able to sustain it?

Barcelona is one of the biggest clubs in the world and they can afford to stock their roster with superb, technically-skilled players. They've got the best player in the world, Lionel Messi, whose very presence ratchets up everything coach Pep Guardiola wants to accomplish.

I love watching them play, but I think it's unfair to criticise other clubs for not adapting a similar style.

When the Los Angeles Lakers had 6'9" point guard Magic Johnson running the show, they could do things no other basketball team in the world could do. Once Magic retired, did the Lakers attempt to play a similar style? Not really, they had to adjust to the personnel that they have.

Some think Arsenal play a similar style to Barcelona. The Gunners like fluid football and play an intricate passing game, particularly as they get close to goal. But are they as successful as the Catalan club? Not even close. In fact, many believe the beauty of Arsenal football might be betraying the cause when it comes to actual results.

So Forca Barça. They've been able to do some amazing things this year.

But let's not get carried away. They aren't perfect. In fact, based on what I saw in all four of the recent El Clasico matches against Real Madrid, Barcelona can be just as cynical and nasty as any other club in the world.

Unfortunately, I don't hear too many voices - especially on SBS - criticising the antics of Pedro, Busquets or Mascherano. They certainly weren't playing the beautiful game. But I guess that's the thing about a cult. You only get one side of the story.
