The Football Thread

[Gonzaka]

And Sporting continues being the only team who won at Bernabeu.

BTW, Spanish TV news in "cuatro" channel: "We don't matter other matches. We're only going to talk about RM-FCB". Pathetic. This is Spanish periodism...

[JGX]

In the Americas we like to play with obstacles on the pitch:

We also like to play with American football lines on the pitch, even in Mexico, in order to make the visitors feel welcome.

[Gonzaka]

Barça, Madrid... All of you are PATHETIC.

Why is that? Pardon my ignorance, I know they were playing today but I am not aware of what you may be referring to.

I hate them both, all about them and everything about Clásicos.

This third game had all a match of any sport must not have. Violence, flopping (yeah, we are in Spain)... About football, the first half like Mexico-Portugal in The Simpsons and two Messi goals in the second. No more.

A crying coach for RM and Barça's philosophy to translate any game as a battle between the good and the evil. Medias who doesn't matter to waste the 99% of their time talking about how those players brushed their teeth instead of reporting... Argh, I hate both. No more.

Nice video.


I watched the game too and suddenly realized how Mourinho is similar to Messina : the only difference is Mourinho 's arrogant speeches, the rest : turning the game that's all about entertainment into a boring bushido fest, caring only about trophies , not about millions of fans that are bored to death by his style.

This semifinal is too easy for us

Being slapped in the face after being arrogant (see Euroleague) hasn't taught you a thing, has it?

[robbe]

Wondering what was more entertaining - Spanish flopping or United's demolition of Schalke.

Obviously the 2nd one.

Even I'm a big fan of Barca's football team, ffs yesterday's game was disgrace to watch: more of flopping, diving, cryin' and complainin' to ref than real football. And that's from both sides. Luckily there's Messi...

[Juan Carlos Nadal]

That's why soccer disgusts me. More flopping than any other sport (unless the Spanish basketball NT is playing), only one main ref (when other sports with less players and smaller fields have multiple ones), decisions that can lop-side a game (red cards, penalty kicks) thus making corruption easy, no video review, more fan violence than any other sport, very unspecific duration (again it's up the ref, it used to be worse in the past) and so many more.

You are missing my point (which has become a recurrent habit). I quite frankly don't give a toss if Madrid beats you or not (I think that for the first time in my life that I will cheer for ManU in the final anyway).

My point is that by being arrogant you are not doing yourself any favors. You are not taunting anyone, you are not impressing anyone, you are only making enemies.

I think you've been a "PAO fan" for a long time now



Anyway, anyone watching the MLS this year?
