The FOOTBALL thread

[Boromir]

Mancini's on his period. :poke:

That formation is not even correct.
Fabio is put as a striker there.

[Cofiliano]

Messi? Pele? Zidane?

Pfffft lets be real and name the one and only God when it comes to the tittle 'Best footballer of all time'

All Barcelona players have been doing since the match is over is to moan. I don't know or care what Messi did and if he insulted Arbeloa and his wife, or called Caranca Mourinho's puppet but seriously, Dani Alves, Jordi Alba and specially Xavi shouldn't complaint. They were a better side, had 3-5 sure chances on goal and they lost them, now get over it.

Why would they touch his face after an aggressive tackle anyways? It was most likely a provocative light slap, as if he really did slap him, he'd get a red on the spot.

That was not aggressive in any way, I thought we're playing football. And I assume Xabi Alonso was trying to not spark a fight that's why he told Messi to back off.

I assume Messi's cheekbone must've been broken badly.

It's a rule for a reason. Would be more understandable if he was offside for like an inch, but he over did it.

Not that one... there was a false offside call on Messi. I think it was 20 minutes into the second half.

If messi made the tackle, then your statement would actually make sense. It was sportsmanship, just like a pat on the back, but Messi could have taken it another way.

Until he headbutted someone in the middle of a football field with the entire world's cameras trained on him, I kind of thought there was no one better than Zidane. That did teach me an important thing tho, not just Pokemon can deliver strong headbutts.

What a game Newcastle- Chelsea! exciting game with an interesting finish. 3-2 to Newcastle
Arsenal didn't play very well but got the win, 1-0. Begovich is just an outstanding goalkeeper.

So... secret plan to take over La Liga? They just weren't on form, is all.

You think Mourinho is makin our team play like shit in purpose so he gets fired? I've thought of that several times aswell because he wanted to leave, and his contract ends in 2015 but I doubt it really.

ofc, he is just making troubles with captains every day, if he got fired madrid have to pay 20.000.000$, so its a smart idea

City is making a lot of mistakes.. They need to stop before it results into a goal.

Post Merge: February 03, 2013, 05:31:36 pmShould have been a damn foul..
Post Merge: February 03, 2013, 06:32:46 pmYet again.. City are trailing. When will they ever actually score, and keep the lead.

Barcelona vs Valencia. So far valencia have been doing better, let's hope we kick ass again after Real's loss. Valdes finally got some more play time.
