Year Round The Football/Soccer Thread v3

Newcastle have spiralled down this season. There team is pretty good and I'm surprised that they've fallen into the relegation battle. I guess injuries to key players cost them for the most part but still a decent team to get enough points to get into the Europa League. =/

Yup...I think they have given away a lot of points where they shouldn't. They should at least be in the top 10

Reus got injured and won't play against RM

Spoiler

of course not

Isn't Lewandoski supposed to leave too?
Apparently he was going to join either Bayern Munich or Man Utd, but he can't join MU over the summer because of X reasons.

Dortmund vs RM is starting soon, i hope RM is going to lose badly.

 

[FrostyMouse]

Yup, Nast, Lewandowski's leaving as well, most likely to Bayern.

On other news, apparently there's a chance Ronaldo could return to United. http://espnfc.com/news/story?id=1430712&cc=5901

I'm picking a 2-2 draw at the Bernabeu. You never know though. Dortmund could collapse, but I somehow doubt it.

Howard Webb time!

 

[kakashi919]

Go Dortmund!!!

 

[FrostyMouse]

0-0 at the half.

 

[ibra87]

So close... SO CLOSE

There should've been 5 minutes on top of those 5 min. Not only did Bortmund waste more time, they obviously broke the momentum too. Ah well

 

[Nast.J]

Higuain should of been replaced earlier in the game, i feel that Benzema is always on point during big games like that and he showed it again... Incredible showing by RM at the end but it still wasn't enough! Borussia Dortmund could have scored many more but Lewandoski wasn't aiming at all, he missed so many good occasions... BD almost got eliminated, it was very intense at the end. Even tho i dislike RM, i want to congratulate them for not giving up when 10 mins were left, that's what football is.

LOL at C.Ronaldo falling on purpose at the end in the hope of getting a penalty... RM actually played the best I've ever seen this CL from 85 to 97 mns.

Let's see if tommorow Barcelona will come back, maybe the almost comeback from RM will motivate them. Otherwise there will be a german team winning the CL cup for sure this year.

Overall in the two match performance Real did not deserve to go through. At least there was justice.

 

[syx]

Higuain's skills are so average, it's not even funny. He's definitely not Real Madrid material, I hope they sell him asap. And Özil needs to learn how to shine in big games. Despite his skills, he fails to stand out in big games most of the times.

In the end Dortmund deserved to reach the final, even though they refused to play soccer today.

 

[ibra87]

Higuain is obviously top class - RM should hurry and sell him to Juve \o/

There was a point towards the end where di Maria was all free on the opposite side but didn't get a pass. So sad, the others don't seem to trust him :/

 

[FrostyMouse]

Are you a Madrid fan then, ibra?

 

[Nast.J]

C.Ronaldo failed too, i didn't see anything from him.

 

[ibra87]

Are you a Madrid fan then, ibra?

I am. I am also a Juve fan and see that RM don't actually need him - at least as much as Juve would. Imo he is a world class player.

 

[FrostyMouse]

Essien appeared to be Madrid's best player today, actually.

I am. I am also a Juve fan and see that RM don't actually need him - at least as much as Juve would. Imo he is a world class player.

I see. I don't think much of Higuain or Benzema, to be honest. Madrid need someone like Suarez. You know controversy is awesome.

 

[Nast.J]

I like benzema but he's definitively not in top shape right now.. Well every good player starts pretty good then goes meh at some point for some the meh part comes earlier. Just like Torres who used to be amazing at his beggining but now he became a joke and everyone laughs at him because he keeps on missing shots.He's still okay though..

 

[jorped]

Higuain is so overrated!

 

[Hardy]

Higuain is so overrated!

How is he overrated? When was he considered the best 9 ever or something like that?

His performance in RM was better than Benzema's (even if he had 2 big injuries and played way more matches as a sub than him), that's why he's currently in their 1st team (even if both failed this season).

He's top class (I'm not saying he's Falcao, Van Persie, Messi, Ronaldo). Maybe a smaller team would have been better in his carreer when he left us (for example, Porto ) but he didn't perform badly at RM a all.
