Even lowest common denominator has gone too far. Querying "Barcelona" gives you 100% search results for the League team above-the-fold. You must search "Barcelona, Spain" to get information on the city, which then gets you direct links to Google Maps, etc.


I also get these results and I've never spectated a sports game in my life. These aren't just customized results for different people - if Google keeps a "completely uninterested" personal score I'd have the maximum value for sports


Yeah their entity resolution algorithms are really annoying. Half my searches come up with some random movie on IMDb


If I search for "Barcelona", I get result about the city on positions 6, 14, 21

If I search for "Barcelona city" do not get any results about the Soccer team.


Searching "Barcelona" I get the wikipedia for Barcelona city on position 2.
