Year Round The Football/Soccer Thread v2

Some of the decisions are questionable but I think boths teams should be ashamed of how they acted on the pitch. Sergio of Barcelona was acting like a lil kid falling, tripping and making out as if he's been severly tackled every 7 minutes of the game. Replay showed that he was humiliating only one person; himself. Both teams were guilty of faking tackles/fouls. I honestly believe that the ref made some errors that effected both sides. All that bickering for nothing.

About Pepe's tackle - some refs would give a yellow for that. Others would obviously give a red for it. It's just a chance what you receive from the ref with those kind of tackles tbh.

Sergio Ramos got a yellow for a bad tackle. I don't see why they're still complaining about Ramos. Forget him. xD

Dammit. That Post match interview is on youtube but it's all in spanish. I demand english subtitles.

Faking falls is a pretty common place thing today though. That is not just a barca or real thing, it is something all teams do based on the circumstances. It's as Ronaldo said a bit back, all about strategy. One way or another though, real madrid's reaction is overall completely unjustified.

I still think a straight red was harsh for what was a 50-50 ball. But then as you said that's the risk you take.

I don't see why Ronaldo of all people is upset about players faking fouls.... He does it almost every game, and the refs always give him the call. But yeah...I don't think it was a straight red, a yellow maybe. Even if Alves acted, the ref should have been smart enough to give the right decision and he clearly didn't.

What was stupid though, was Pinto's red card from the bench
How dumb do you have to act to get a straight red on the bench

That one was just one the dumbest red cards I've ever seen!

Ronaldo's claim Madrid were in control of that game is absurd, he obviously wasn't watching the same match as the rest of us

Perhaps Barca has won so many times against real madrid (twice of which barca won with 5 or more goals to nil) that just having a tied match with real in the defensive seems like a victory to him. That, or he was high or delusional. I was to see ronaldo cry again, he hasn't done that since the 2006 world cup lol.

Anyways, how about that barca and real madrid losing last week... I did not expect that.

Lol didn't Ronaldo cry when they lost against Barcelona in the CL with Man Utd?

I was surprised that Barcelona lost... makes one wonder if they threw the game to give Real some hope
Not surprised Real lost though.... I always think they will find some way to lose.

 

[goldb]

I can't believe they both lost. I wasn't suprised to see Real lose since their midweek defeat to Barca would be quite hard to get over but for Barca to lose .

And we beat Man Utd, but we're still 6 points behind them. Arsenal are the most annoying team in any top flight division in the world; we lose to Bolton one week then beat Utd another?

That's because Arsenal don't shoot the damn ball. They always want to walk to ball into the goal and fail almost all the time. Another problem they have is when they take the lead, the other team pressures them and they break down. I really wanted Arsenal to win the title,since Liverpool had no chance this season,but now I think they don't deserve to win.

 

[goldb]

Yeah that's kinda true. Arsenal have had so many breaks and chances to take advantage but it's like they're scared to win the league or whatnot.

 

[kkck]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BARCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Couldn't be happier to see barca in the finals again....

 

[kakashi919]

Barca confirmed their spot in the final since they drew shaktar in the quaters.... Now its just for Shalcke to beat Man Utd

 

[Pirulito]

It would be great, Shalke in the final. Even though I have a feeling that Barca would run over Shalke easily.

 

[kkck]

So what does everyone think about the supposed manipulation of the red card given to real madrid in bernabeau?

 

[blai]

Schalke stands no chance and it's a real shame. I'm _very_ proud to see them in the Semi's though, hopefully it's the beginning of something great

That's what everyone said when the drew Inter for the quarters....I still have faith in them and Raul. Go Schalke!!!

It's okay, kashy~ Maybe... next year!

 

[kkck]

Go manchester! I really want to see them lose against barca. The finals are going to be awesome....

 

[kakashi919]

It was good while it lasted.

So... anyone read the Barcelona manga?

 

[goldb]

This match is what everyone was looking for, it should be spectacle, and guess what? I'm gonna be working at Wembley for that match on the 28th; just found out today
