PBP: 12/13 Copa del Rey Semifinal: Leg 1 | Real Madrid v FC Barcelona | 30 Jan 2013 [R]

Madrid getting back into it now?

 

Pinto got one the cojones from Alves

 

Yeah... LPB having a momentum. We need to take it back.

 

Should've been Xabi yellow.

Also: lol at Dani being the Bernabeu favourite.

 

Well, we're not dominating anymore.

 

WE NEED TO WIN TODAY

 

I would say get cesc off, out Iniesta back in mid-field and bring in Villa

 

HT 0-0.

Even and thrilling as expected.

 

HT: 0-0

Better than losing at this point. Should be a crazy second half.

 

Cesc has actually been one of Barca's best players in the 1st half, and Iniesta's actually playing in the middle.
I honnestly don't see what Villa will add right now

 

LPB look dangerous on the counter.

 

Some offsides flags?

 

Heh. But when Madrid plays a high line, Villa has a past history of making them suffer for that.

 

If there's anyone I would take off, it would be Pique. We can't risk a second yellow.

 

I wouldn't sub in Villa yet. But at 60-70 maybe if it's 0-0. We could use that away goal, and Villa does all kinds of contributions towards us getting that. That said: we're cool like this.

 

Pique and Carvalho should make a gentleman deal to both hit each other and get reds. More entertainment as more space, and neither team having to worry about CB with a yellow.

 

I don't know about that cause he's been defending well on CR7

 

That's their shtick.

 

and who would you say comes in Masch?, he will get a 2nd Yellow

 

Prediction: three goals, one red left in the match.

 

I want Barca to take the 3 goals and RM can have the red if you don't mind

 

Fine by me.

 

Xavi has been loosing the ball a lot more than usual
