And the Academy Award for Best Acting goes to....- The Other Teams Thread - [R]

Yeah, the second was worse than that.

 

The lad does have 40+ goals this season and scored the only goal to win Real Madrids only trophy this season. I don't remember him ever having Kaka's combination of close control and the ability to dribble with pace through the middle. Always been better when he has space in behind. Besides Kaka was capable of things by himself that I've not seen Ronaldo do. When they won the 2007 Champions League he (along with Seedorf) singlehandedly led Milan to victory.

 

I think they're just getting outplayed in all honesty, and not for lack of desire either.

 

It was? He had nothing of the ball and cynically halted a Messi run towards goal. Real were right about De Bleeckere being rubbish in this game, but not for the reason they believe. Carvalho is very luck to still be on the pitch. It's pretty clear the mind games have worked on the ref, big surprise there.

 

That's ********ed up.

 

But remember, Barca are the defenders of good honest football. Sigh.

You were saying?

 

Too easy for Barcelona there. Good finish though.

1-0

 

Great pass by Iniesta.

 

Is it a foul? Yes.

Is it worth knickers becoming betwixt? No, no it is not.

 

Diarra booked for the horrendous offence of winning a tackle.

 

Ronaldo fouled Mascherano by flying through the air like Superman

OR

Ronaldo was clipped after making the pass to Higuain and *maybe* caught Mascherano on his way down.

 

1-1

Let's go.

 

Damn my stream's about 3 minutes behind!


MONO!!!!

 

Because it would not be fair to Barcelona.

 

Diarra's been great.

 

You know, if Barcelona were forced to play European ties against 11 rather than 10 men, they may lose some of them.

 

What, no satellite TV?

 

So, imagine the first leg had remained 0-0, as it seemed to be before the ref dialed the match down to semi-pro for barca. Imagine Higuain's goal had counted, rather than being inexplicably taken away because Ronaldo was fouled into part of Mascherano's cleat. Barcelona'd need two goals to win.

I'm pretty convinced that any loss for this disgrace of a team is a win for football. I can't even watch them for five minutes without grimacing at how shameless they are with every foul, even 3-0 up on aggregate.

 

Quality.
