LOL! Levante Forward, David Barral's response to the Lavezzi pics...

Hell, at least he's honest. Roughly translated he's saying that if he had to choose between eating p**sy and fresh watermelon, he'd choose eating p**sy.

 

One of my good friends is a Liverpool supporter. He told me about the possible Lavezzi deal. Instant reaction:

 

Whats the deal with galatasaray ? They finished 2nd . didn't they ?? They are not in the champions league ???

 

MLS All Stars beat Bayern tonight and Pep wouldn't shake hands with our manager. Just waved his finger at him. #Valors.

 

I'm a fan of Guardiola but that was poor of him. I understand he was pissed at a couple of the mls players but don't think their coach had any control over that.

 

Yeah, considering it was a friendly, there were a few "rough" challenges. Nothing egregious though.

 

Oh, they mad.

 

Pep is no gentleman for sure. He tries to look cool but sometimes he loses it.

 

with the antics his players have gotten away with over the years alvez, busquets, cesc & sanchez he really should man up a bit....

 

SportsCenter led with this story.

If I didn't know anything about Guardiola and his history with Barcelona, I wouldn't think this was a huge deal. But, as has been said, he led a bunch of imbeciles for years in Barcelona and tolerated their shit, is an arrogant asshole himself, and then he takes it out on an opposing coach of a damn All-Star team.

 

The best thing about the 5-0 over Bayern was undoubtedly battering this major douche. And that says a lot when their team has Müller and Ribéry in it.

 

I've noticed since summer that people in general are a lot more critical about barca, it used to be that if I was hard on them I was called a hater but more and more people I'd characterized as neutral/causal observers seem to be down on FC Humble. Not sure if its the neymar signing, the lack of trophies last year or just fatigue but people genuinely seem to understanding that they are not what they represent themselves to be.

 

I didn't see the game but a friend of mine (who is a bayern fan) said that they played really really dirty and hard football. If the entire side played like that then it's the coaches fault, if it's just one player than theres nothing the coach could do.

 

"I didn't see him," Guardiola told USA Today after the match

 

In fairness to Pep, it's hard to see anything when he's got his head stuck so far up his own ass.

 

It's the lack of trophies in general. At first, they were winning trophies in crazy fashion every year and doing so by playing their 'godly' football. Everyone was Barca this, Barca that. Basically, lots of people were a bit of gloryhunters. Barca was the 'second team' of everyone that 'loved' football. If you were a Real Madrid fan, you played rugby. Likewise, they were all over Bayern last season (and they still are..). Even thought we beat them in a marvelous way, they were still better haha!

 

Saying "I didn't see him" both shows that he is a lying douche when he waved away Porter and also shows that he knows he did something wrong because after the fact, he realized he was a tool and tried to pretend like he didn't behave like that.

BTW, Portland's coach, Caleb Porter, who was coaching the MLS All Star team is a guy to watch in the future internationally. He is only 39, and was coach of the US U-23 team trying to qualify for the London Olympics. The GK let in a howler right at the end of a game, so we didn't qualify and he got fired. Went to Portland after that and has really rehabilitated himself, thought of as one of the best coaches in MLS. Could have a big future. Will probably coach the US senior team at some point.
