Barcelona vs Real Madrid | El Gran Clasico | Copa del Rey | Quarter Final 2nd Leg| 01.25.12[R]

There might be something to this, quite personally I find that puffer vest distracting watching on television....imagine how it must affect the players.

Burn the vest Jose!

El Classico saga continues. My Beloved Madrid has reached an all time low in the recent classico matches. It seems Farca has our number and is not willing to let it go. Pepe has seen the red mist too many times and his stamp on messi was totally unMadridista. Mourinho for all his brilliance seems clueless on how to stop Pep. Players are said to be revolting over the negative tactics employed by the Gaffe. Can things get any worse? They could, but there is an upside to the whole thing... It can't get much worse and the only place to go when you down is up. Hala Madrid.... I chant in pride... I STILL BELIEVE!!!!

 

Ole Ole Ole Oleeeee.. Oleeee... Oleee....

I'm behind the boys, no matter who plays out there. Hopefully we can restore some pride by putting up a good fight at least!

REAL MADRID FOR LIFE!

 

Madrid need two goals, so I think Marcelo is an obvious choice. The risk is necessary.

I do think Coentrao defends better than him, but Marcelo is no mug. He just is prone to lapses in concentration, but if he is focused he is also very good. Coentrao has also been a shadow of his Benfica/NT days when going forward, and Madrid need the extra outlet. It's interesting how most non-Portuguese RM fans think Coentrao is primarily a defensive LB, when he is actually a converted winger. Either he is lacking confidence to go up or has been giving very tight orders to stay back, not sure which.

 

Great news! Do you guys actually think he intentionally stepped on Messi's hand or was it an accident?

 

any streams?

 

This

 

I'd wait another 55 or so minutes for that

 

I've seen the replays and it does seem that he looks down but I'm still not 100% sure that it was intentional... Whether it was or not, Barcelona gets away with stuff like this all the time.

The number of times they get away with stupid calls or "diving/cheating" is ridiculous. It literally cost us the Champions League last year.

Does the game start at 16:00 Eastern Time? -5:00

 

It starts in 50 minutes.

 

Thank you Sir!

 

I expect the worst, hope for the best.

 

When did a Barca player assault a Madrid player during a stop in play during last season's CL fixture. Also what act of cheating/diving directly effected the outcome.

 

Disallowed goal from Higuain due to Mascherano diving

 

That's the best we can do right now... Just believe.

 

Real Madrid starting line up: Casillas; Arbeloa, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Coentrao; Lass, Xabi Alonso, Kaká; Ozil, Cristiano e Higuaín.

attack.

 

Mistake with Pepe. Disrepectful and not good for the brand.

He'll have maximum pressure on him tonight and zero good will from the ref. It's bound to be a red card for him.

 

I would have gone with Marcelo, but that line-up is 3 times better than the last one.
