Discussion The Football/Soccer Thread

yeah me too, the ballack vs referee incident was hilarious, i'm pissed that i missed the drogba rant in front of the camera but apparently it was "really fun" says my brother.

Chelsea should be really disappointed, they had so many chances and were two minutes away from the final and just lost focus as Barca scored from their only shot on target. they should have had at the very least 2 penalties but the referee was a disgrace; sending off Abidal when there was hardly any contact and some of the yellow cards and fouls he gave were a joke.

Now we look forward to the final; a Messi vs Ronaldo showdown...hope they play on the same wing

I'm so glad that Chelski got beat, I don't care how!

it has been funny to hear all the rumours about match fixing and other stuff

 

[blai]

people tend to start rumours when Chelsea get beaten ;/

 

[Starzen]

The only thing that barca got from that game is that they need to creat a new defence as 3 of their defenders wont be playing. The drogba rant was hilarious, he got a yellow card for that. I need to review the rules.

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

I expect Toure to play in defense in the final, that'll be to Man Utd's benefit, as I didn't see anything great from Keita. For me we have to pick a midfield that can stop players like Iniesta, Park will play, and Anderson should as well, to bully the midfield.

ps: I heard that the referee of Chelsea x Barça got many messages saying he'd be killed, is that true? Lol, Chelsea fans have enough reasons to be pissed

And Diego just scored Bremen's goal in the Uefa Cup, he's been in great shape recently :P

 

[Pirulito]

I didn't watch Bremen's match but Diego always goes well in Europe. But in Brazit team.... tsc.

And, you know, rumours said that Diego will play for Juventus next season.

A referee can issue a card at anytime after the teamsheet has been handed in before the game starts and after the final whistle as long as the player is still on the pitch as long as he mentions it in his match report. It's more down the precedent than an actual rule. There was an incident years ago where a player got a second yellow card and refused to leave the pitch. So he was shown a second red card. As he left he started to hurl abuse at the ref and got a third card

Yep. Chelsea released a statement condemning death threats.

 

[Lelo]

lol, just saw drogbas reaction after the game. What a baby, seriously, nobody could control him. He was acting like a baby the whole game too, he was always on the floor crying. He was really pissed, especially cause before the game every chelsea player came up to him like a leader, basa

 

[Hayashida]

id stab that faux-ref through the heart if i saw him as he did to me and every other cfc sup.
if barca had outplayed us then fair enough, but no
absotlute farce

at least uefa got the final they wanted

 

[Lohnt]

I hope Bremen win the Cup.

 

[Saintz0r]

/\
I'll cheer for Bremen, but I think it'll be hard for them to win. Diego won't play the match and he's half of Bremen's offense

And Tevez is very good today, that kick on the post was amazing :P

 

[goldb]

well...Arsenal are already losing 2-0 against Chelsea, this is not looking good

 

[blai]

Why did Man U have to win? Oh and on Wed they have Wigan...

Ah well, at least the Reds won with three to nothing vs West Ham U.

I really hope for Middlesbrough on Mon though, want they to stay in Barclays

Is that all?

Last time Tottenham won the league was 1961

I'm beyond envying others when their team wins the title

 

[Lelo]

^ lol Tottenham

 

[blai]

A friend of mine cheers for Tottenham. It's fun when they're playing vs Liverpool b/c i always bring my liverpool-shirt, go to his place, watch the game, and then mock the shit outta him after the game if/when the reds win.

 

[joe_bevis]

I don't want the season to end, I can't bear the weekends of no football

at least next year there will be world cup
