I saw Higuain's goal on Twitter, the Napoli defender headed it right to him. What happened on the second pk to have it awarded?
That's all she wrote. It's a wonder how we stay competitive in Europe when garbage clubs like Napoli is the best we can face in Italy.
Good come from behind win, glad Litch got subbed out for Cuadrado, our offense is that much better with Cuadrado in there than Litch. Mandzukic once again having a monster game, he is a huge asset to our team, he wil literally willing to play any position on this team to help us win. You don't find many of these type of players these days. We gotta keep Mandzukic for another year or two while he still In his prime. Dybala had a great second half, played much better. Barzagli made a huge mistake and almost cost us another goal, but Chiellini bailed us out there. Overall I'm happy with the team performance in the 2nd half, I think this was a good statement game.
The only thing that could have made this better was if we won 2-1 and both calls were blatant non-penalties while playing even worse than what we did in the first half (assuming that would be possible...). Nipoli fans would cry about it for years and years and our ultras would make chants commemorating the referring errors made in our favor. At least that's what used to happen before Calciopoli. As it is, for any other team those would be fairly obvious, uncontroversial calls, but because it's us a crime has been committed, an investigation will be demanded and that referee will never work again. Anyway, I love it when we win games like this. The more controversial calls the better. They're going to believe it whether it's true or not, so we might as well just bask in the tears of our inferiors.
Friday February 17 2017 Napoli announced a Press silence that will carry on indefinitely following the controversy in their 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid. Tuesday February 28 2017 Napoli director Cristiano Giuntoli said the Juventus penalties in the Coppa Italia semi-final were “shameful and damaging to all of Italian football.”
Bunch of sore losers... First penalty Second penalty The can bitch and moan, or have press blackouts, but the fact remains, those are penalties.
The first one was slightly exaggerated but legitimate, second one there shouldn't be any question imo.
I can't understand how it's not a penalty, he clearly impeded Cuadrado regardless whether he touched the ball, had he not touched him Cuadrado could have still ran onto the ball. First one is still legit, can't step on people in the box.
Napoli Director "On the first penalty, Dybala knocks the ball on and seeks contact for the penalty. I thought the first one was frankly more of a spot-kick, but watching the replay this one isn’t right either. The striker goes looking for the contact." Yes, he went looking so much that he waited for Koulibaby to step on him. They bring stupid to a new level. "Winners find a way, losers find an excuse"
Unless it's a Juventus player. Reina could have assassinated Cuadrado in the penalty area and the nipolitani would still scream about injustice and conspiracies if it was whistled as a foul. Because that's what they are as a club. They didn't choke and lose the second half. They were victimized by the big mean bullies from Turin, and that's why they always fail. It's never their fault or responsibility: that's their identity as a club. They don't know how to do or be anything else.
Hey, when you're the bully on the block there's no point in pretending that you're not. You can't have it both ways. If you're winning, they're going to hate you. Better than losing and being showered with pity and condescension. If you demand to have it both ways, then you're Inter merda. And I'd rather be dead than that.
