Let the sh*tstorm begin.

My votes:

Tie in the league match - Real madrid wins Copa del Rey - Barcelona advances to the UCL final

Barcelona wins all three ties.

I suspect that Mourinho will "throw" the league match, since the league is practically out of reach, and that he will save some of his players/tactics for the CdR and UCL.

Its dangerous to throw that match, Barça its going with all.

Barcelona is going to win every one of the four games by 5-0. Anything less only if Barcelone decides to score in their own goal, because there is now way Real Madrid is going to win anything at all this season. Or the next one. Or as long as Pep Guardiola is alive. Barcelona is going to win all games 5-0 and then play United in the UCL final and win 10-0.

The real question is how am I gonna be able to ditch work to watch all four games without generating suspicion?

Barcelona will win every match 5-0 and Jose Mourinho will be sacked. Real Madrid has no chance of winning any silverware for as long as Pep is alive.

Fili was being sarcastic, right?

For the league game:

Prediction: 0-0
Goals: N/A
Shots on target: 0
Shots off target: 11
Fouls Committed: 34
Yellow Cards: 4
Red Cards: 2, Xabi Alonso(1') and Javier Mascherano(2')

^ Mascherano is out for the league match.

fail.

haha

For those in the USA, the match will be shown live on ESPN Deportes, or live and on replay on espn3.com.

For the league game:...
Red Cards: 2, Xabi Alonso(1') and Javier Mascherano(2')

^ Mascherano is out for the league match.

Then I will pick Xavi Hernandez to et a red card in the 2nd minute. Because his boring tactics helped his team win the 2010 World Cup Semi-Final against the best team in the tournament.

For those in the USA, the match will be shown live on ESPN Deportes, or live and on replay on espn3.com.

You have the most hilarious football opinions I've ever seen. :)

4 back to back Los Classico games? :O I knew they were gonna play 4 matches but didn't known they were next to each other.

Well, there are a couple of league matches between the last three, but yeah, all four are within the span of 3 weeks.

basically, through this stunt, he's once again deflected media attention away from his team or players, and put it onto himself ...

Puyol in the starting line-up

Valdés - Alves, Puyol, Piqué, Adriano - Xavi, Sergio, Iniesta - Messi, Villa, Pedro.

Casillas - Ramos, Albiol, Carvalho, Marcelo - Khedira, Pepe, Xabi Alonso - Ronaldo, Benzema, Di María.

Visca el Barça!

I swear this feels more like crunch time in a soap opera, I have to watch all these games.

Wow, first match back is the clasico? Big gamble from Pep, but it shows he has a lot of faith in Puyol.

wooow, what a game ... what a game !!!!!!

Messi, Madrid killer.

Real Madrid looked like they had no chance but they squeezed out a draw. Good match.

dear me, el clasico= a match where half the time people are falling over or surrounding the ref

the match was badly officiated.

Drama and entertainement still there though. and I have new found respect for Pepe. Didnt know there was a warrior in him. Led by example. Now if he only could cut out the silly antics.

Madrid gifted a non-existent penalty. Even so, Barcelona only have themselves to blame for not scoring a second goal. They were too content to have a 1-0 lead, and Villa... :nape:

No doubt Mourinho will emphasize the fact that Barcelona always plays against 10 men.

Realistically, this gives Barcelona the league title. Madrid needed the 3 points if they had any chance.

Nervy at the end, unneeded tackle from Alves.

Real needed a victory much more than Barca. Another La liga is very close to Pep team.
However, despite overwhelming position I think it was the closest La Liga in years. I think it was the first draw after that famous 3-3.

There are lots of pressure and physicality in these matches. I’m sure neither team will be the same after 4 matches. Good for Manchester United.

btw, I don’t how serious Puyol injury is but I doubt it if he can play this Wednesday. I think it’s risky to play Busquets in defense coz Barca will defend very deep in that case and it created chances for Real. The problem is Abidal is out as well and there are big question marks above Milito.

1st prediction of a league draw is right for me. Now Barca win Copa and Real take UCL semis.

Big gamble from Pep, but it shows he has a lot of faith in Puyol.

OR very little faith in backup defenders.

I think there was minimal contact on the Dani Alves tackle, but if you're gonna call that, you need to give Villa the penalty in the first half. Disappointing in the end, that should've been a win.

Marca is running the headline "Tie that tastes like victory." Apparently losing any chance of winning the league tastes like victory.

Pepe end the match without yellow card.

Villa missed a good opportunity, these miss chances are becoming vital. He’s a hardworker but leaks his Spain NT killer instinct.

Marca is running the headline "Tie that tastes like victory." Apparently losing any chance of winning the league tastes like victory.technically, you can't further lose a lost cause ...

but Marca's headline makes sense, if one considers fighting back with 10 men to get the draw to be a psychological victory -- especially since the importance of the 4 clásicos progresses in ascending order ...

OR very little faith in backup defenders.

That's the more likely situation. Their defence would NEVER hold up in the EPL.

For the first time in their history Madrid play a defensive match against Barça in Bernabeu.

That's the more likely situation. Their defence would NEVER hold up in the EPL.

When was the last time Barcelona conceded more than two goals to an English team?

I thought VV 1 had a really good game.

That's the more likely situation. Their defence would NEVER hold up in the EPL.
What is it about the EPL that would make their defence not hold up?

Didn't get to see the match, but from what I saw from the highlights, it seems that Marcelo once again proved what a dirty bitch he is. Dani got the ball, there was very minimal contact, Marcelo throws himself on the ground and starts celebrating like crazy when the ref falls for it.

^ guess your highlights didn't show Sergio B rolling around like a dirty bitch, holding his head as if he were suffering from an unbearable pain, trying to get someone booked; he was of course up and looking around within a minute, without medical assistance ...

Didn't. Pretty much only showed the penalties.

And I hope you know I've never liked Busquets, especially for his antics.

So I was not home this weekend and didn't get to see the game, but anyone has an explanation on why would Messi hit that ball against the spectators?

What is it about the EPL that would make their defence not hold up?

2 things immediately come to mind:
1. I have never been convinced by Puyol
2. Pique's experience with Man United was not, well, convincing either

I think that the 2 corner-backs would be quite opposite though. They probably would cut it in the EPL.

So I was not home this weekend and didn't get to see the game, but anyone has an explanation on why would Messi hit that ball against the spectators?

Anger. Frustration at being, rather surprisingly, held by Real Madrid's defense.

They didn't really show a replay of him kicking the ball. Just of Pepe coming over and yapping at him about something.

Because he's not a saint as many people thought, he is a human and humans make mistakes. He already apologize after the match.

OK, I thought he was a saint, my bad.


Did people call him a spoiled brat like they would definitely do if it was Ronaldo doing that?

would you be asking that question if either you or Cristiano weren't Portuguese?

Probably not, by does it matter? I'm not fond of Cristiano in particular, just not fond of these kinds of double standards.

not fond of these kinds of double standards.fair enough, and I agree ...


Probably not, by does it matter?"probably not" is a double standard in itself, that's why it matters ... you may not like Cristiano, but his being Portuguese makes a difference for you, and it shouldn't when it comes to a moral argument ... really not a big deal; I was chuckling when I asked the question ...

Puyol and Adriano are alright for Wednesday match. Man, what a brilliant sign Adriano was, he is playing awesome.

2. Pique's experience with Man United was not, well, convincing either

I think that the 2 corner-backs would be quite opposite though. They probably would cut it in the EPL.
Pique wouldn't cut it in the EPL because his 12 appearences as a kid weren't convincing?

What you really seem to be saying is that it's harder to defend in the EPL, and that's bogus.


OK, I thought he was a saint, my bad.


Did people call him a spoiled brat like they would definitely do if it was Ronaldo doing that?
No, because Messi has no history of that kind of behavior. Ronaldo pouts everytime a match isn't going his way.

"No history" might be an understatement. But you're saying that next time Messi does something like that you'll be the first to call him a prima donna?

"No history" might be an understatement. But you're saying that next time Messi does something like that you'll be the first to call him a prima donna?
Of course not. A second incident might say something about his temper, but it doesn't make him a prima donna. Ronaldo reputation comes from his pouty face, standing with his hands on his hips while the game is still going on, not celebrating with his teammates when somebody other than himself scores, etc.

If what I said is an understatement, I'd like to hear more examples of bad behavior from Messi.

How does that compare to striking the ball against the opposition's supporters?

They're very different, which is why I don't understand why you're trying to equate Messi's one act of frustration to Ronaldo's personality.

Messi is a douche. This isn't the first time either. Not to mention I'd take Ronaldo's personality over attacking the fans for no reason.

http://estaticos04.marca.com/imagenes/2011/04/17/futbol/equipos/barcelona/1302992113_extras_portada_1.jpg

I wonder how that was not a yellow? If I remember right Gary Neville got a red for the exact same thing not too long ago.

Pepe was a monster.

Worked up the pride to come here after a tie?

The kick by Messi was bizarre and stupid, but I don't think it was malicious. I think he was just frustrated and wanted to boot the ball. I'm not going to bother convincing you guys of that though.

As with Fili, I welcome you to give other examples of Messi being unsportsmanlike.

And Pepe was a monster in many senses of the word.

Looking forward to the CL matches... again Barca is facing Mourinho in the semi finals. This time Guardiola should find the right receip to actually beat Real.

And maybe there is finally a ref who actually shows pepe directly a red card after a hard attack... he's often unnecesserily hard in his duells.

No major talking points from the game to be honest, except the fact that carles puyol, supposed catalan hardman, was carried off the field. Blog brought this to my attention:http://lifeisbutabalance.blogspot.com/2011/04/football-and-stretchers.html. I wouldn't be surprised if Pique is next on the list for football's softest players.

Oh so because it's Messi, he was just frustrated. See what I meant?

Look I'm not apologizing Ronaldo, he's definitely got his ego; but that doesn't mean other players don't do it too. And particularly Messi seems to have this aura around him that you can't say anything bad about him because he's good at kicking a ball. Everyone makes mistakes, I'm not even saying Messi isn't a "nicer" guy than Ronaldo, but when he does something like that and you say "he was frustrated" or "show me another thing he's done", I mean... First of all, of course he was frustrated, and of course that was the reason why he did it, it doesn't make it right. Secondly, you're asking me to Google "Messi misbehaving" or something? I don't care if he's been a Saint all his life up until that point - it was a stupid thing to do.

Thank you, agree with everything you said. It's like Messi is what Tiger Woods was before his scandal broke out. If this was Ronaldo, the baby eater who did it, the media would be calling for his head but because its Messi it's ok. He' just frustrated LOL I wonder if he kicks the ball like that everytime he has a frustrating game.

Also in terms of unsportsmanlike character from Messi, off the top of my head there is this one, attempted headbutt at a player, the intentional handball goal vs Espanyol, a slapping incident with another player if I remember right and that's just off the top of my head. Yeah, a real saint that Messi is.

Are you serious? If anything the only other player to have gotten another red should have been Dani Alves since the penal was called on him but I don't see how Pepe deserved a red....at all.

Let's see how long you'll stick around. And I think we all know what it really looks like when Pepe runs you over.

And maybe there is finally a ref who actually shows pepe directly a red card after a hard attack... he's often unnecesserily hard in his duells.

Pepe was very agressive but he was fair as well.

Poor Messi... He's innocent, Messi would never hurt someone, he's so kind and nice. Just wanted to do a sombrero but he kicked the ball too hard. If it was Ronaldo i bet he wanted to put the ball in the face of someone, because he's Ronaldo, and he can do that. Now Messi's impossible.

Let's see how long you'll stick around. And I think we all know what it really looks like when Pepe runs you over.

I prolly won't be around too long, most likely won't see me again after today. Full time school, work, and a kid to look over leaves little time to do anything else really.

Nah, Pepe only runs over douches wearing ugly ass jerseys as shown below. ;P

Apparently Pique also started screaming obscenities at some of the Madrid players going down the town after the game ended. Looks like both he and Messi are suffering from sexual frustration what with Messi failing to woo a girl and Pique has been missing Ibra too long apparently. I wonder how these every so classy Unicef wearing players could even get frustrated and do such a thing.

It's not Messi's fault if CRnabo is a douche.

LzVmGYCxyGk

He likes to give shirts after games, and balls during games, such a nice man.

Oh so because it's Messi, he was just frustrated. See what I meant?
:facepalm:

I'm saying that not all bad behavior equals "prima donna." Ronaldo has also let his frustration get the best of him in some nasty red card incidents, but these don't make him a prima donna. It is the reasons that I have cited earlier that do. I would not call Messi a prima donna for booting a ball, just like you would never call Pepe a prima donna for this:

http://d30pt6u9puc4m1.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/image/PepeFoulGetafe.jpg

Anger issues? Maybe. Prima donna? Hell no.

Do you get it now, or do I need to explain this total non-issue yet another way?

Looks like both he and Messi are suffering from sexual frustration what with Messi failing to woo a girl and Pique has been missing Ibra too long apparently. I wonder how these every so classy Unicef wearing players could even get frustrated and do such a thing.
I see you haven't matured any since you've been gone.

Pique is dating Shakira and Messi is engaged to a hottie...

Messi was waving imaginary card at some point in this match. He isnt a saint some people make him out to be.

*rolleyes* Nobody said he is a saint, and everybody waves imaginary cards.

ive always found him to be a big SOB..
and i bet my ass if he wasnt in barca he wldnt have been his best..Barcelona are built due to Iniesta and Xavi two of the greatest footballers of the modern generation...they clearly make Messi look wayyyy better..


but then again most of the big players all have antics like tht..ronaldo, didier, rooney , etc

Why does it matter if everyone else does it? Still its not sportmanship.

Messi vs Ronaldo debate has been going on for the last four years or something, one thing people always brought up is that Messi is well behaved and he does nothing wrong. I actually did believed this..until this Saturday.

Let's kill him!

Messi is better than Ronaldo because of the magic he brings on the pitch every weekend. Not because anything else...

Oh well, Messi is getting the same treatment that Barcelona does; when they slip up once, all of the haters use it to discredit everything else. It's impossible to be universally liked.

Disagree, he is also a fantastic human being and as a human he made a mistake but apologizes.

Hahaha, "haters". Dude just the fact you're from Sevilla makes me a hell of a lot bigger of a supporter of Barça than you.

What does me being from Sevilla have to do with anything?

Messi isn't a saint, nobody is a saint. Except actual saints, or maybe not.

He's a normal guy, that lost his temper there, and that will surely happen again, but let's not compare that to the prick Ronaldo is. It's like saying that because Hitler was a vegetarian he was a good person (too far?).

Zidane was a f*cking gentleman and that doesn't stopped him for getting a few red cards for bad behavior, still you won't compare him to Ronaldo because of those red cards, will you?

I see you haven't matured any since you've been gone.

I was going to respond to your multiple posts but I think just responding to this well do. It's called a joke Sevillista, learn to laugh a lil mane.

Also just cause Messi is engaged doesn't mean ****, I wouldn't be faithful if I was one of the top players of the world lol. My reference was to that bit about Messi consistenting trying to hook up with a chick that apparently kept denying him, she released one of her webcame confo's that she had with Messi cause she wanted him to stop stalking her. Remember, it's just a joke, learn to loosen up a little. Life is too much of a bitch to always be uptight about ****.

Once? I dont think a player change overnight. Anyway you are the one who asked Fili to give another example of unsportmanlike from Messi. To which I said waving imaginary cards but of course according to you that doesnt count because everybody else does it.

Hater? hahaha. Sure.

Well, you did say you thought he was a "saint" (as apparently everybody else has been saying that here the whole time too...) until saturday when he kicked the ball at the crowd.

Barcelona could lose. as for me, feel too
probably. I like Barca and Real.

Well **** you.

Madrid is not letting Barcelona find any kind of rhythm. It's hard to play against 4 defenders and 3 DM... Madrid is doing a very good job of pressuring the man on the ball.

Undiano has botched a couple of calls, but has avoided any major controversy so far.

Imagine if this goes to PK's.... :icon_spin:

Really bad from us so far, picking it up a bit in the second half.

Second half turned out much better, unlucky not to score. Seems like Real are happy going for the penalties.

Great saves on both end, damn Casillas.
C'mon Barca

Thats what happens when you have 75% possession and waste time "playing beautiful football" and not being able to get through the defense. Even with 1 goal down they didn't change their game a single bit.

Barca is certainly the better team by miles but tactics won today. Well done Real Madrid.

hahahahhah! farsa ! ! ! ! lol.
Real :P :P :P ! ! !

******* terrible.

hahahahhah! farsa ! ! ! ! lol.
Real :P :P :P ! ! !
WTF? Three hours ago you said you liked both teams.


Not the result I wanted, but it was one hell of a match. Very entertaining. Can't wait for the Champions League!

I'm really interested to see how Pep will change this next week.

It was not a best way to start your day :(

WTF? Three hours ago you said you liked both teams.





Can't expect much from a pimply 15 year old kit maker.

Good game, it wasn't meant to be. Hopefully Pep picks the boys up for the Champions League games.

Proud of this team they play with their style every where they go(Y)

enjoyable match, i'm sad for Barca, but congrats to Madrid, it's certainly been a while for them.

Can't wait for the UCL semis.

BTW, a couple of funny things. I saw Venezuela flag among Barca fans and Colombia flag among Real fans. :D

Also, funny to hear Spanish NT chants from Madrid fans. and a Falange flag I saw at the end from one Madrid guy. :biggrinx:

There was also a green laser being shined on Messi's face before he took a freekick. Is there any thing been done about this? There was a similar thing against Evra in the OM-MU UCL tie.

Madrid were all over Barcelona whenever they touched the ball in the first half, but no team has the stamina to keep that up all match. Madrid relaxed in the second half, Barcelona found their rhythm, but just couldn't convert. They certainly weren't at their sharpest, missing more passes than usual and failing to find that breakthrough pass. Casillas MotM for saving Madrid in the second half with some fingertip saves.

This happened last year to Ronaldo at the Camp Nou and the Madrid press went on about cheating. This is the second time it's happened to Messi (happened during his PK last Saturday), but not a peep from the press.

for the record, playing with a philosophy is not playing void of tactical organization ...

I'm happy for José ... can't wait for the Champions League ...

God, It feels like a loooooong time. Very tense game, specially since the weekend. Very happy we won it. Those missed opportunities in the first half had me on the edge of my seat. Of course, when I saw that cross and then goal by Ronaldo.... man oh! man...

Hala Madrid!! Hala Madrid! Campeones! Campeones!!! :33vff3o::33vff3o:

And after these two matches, I am very much looking forward to the next two in the CL.

What the hell are you guys talking about? Didn't notice anything.

Congratulations, you son of a b*tch ;)

haha, come on Nadiim, you can be a better person than this ... your post just sounds like you hide in the shadows while the greatest and most entertaining team dazzle on their way to title after title, and then, when they come up short at one instance, you scurry out and try to kick them when they are down ...

for the record, playing with a philosophy is not playing void of tactical organization ...

I'm happy for José ... can't wait for the Champions League ...

lol I give Barca the credit they deserve. As I said in that same post, Barca is the better team by MILES. But Real played with so much discipline today especially at the back. Brave performance from them.

Congratulations, you son of a b*tch ;)

hahaha.. thanks!! (Y)

Pepe, gave the Barcelona crowd "the arm" three times after the goal. What a douche.

Congrats mother****ers.

My votes:

Tie in the league match - Real madrid wins Copa del Rey - Barcelona advances to the UCL final

(H)

Throughout the season from every source of opinions or info and even from here it seems like its not REAL MADRID VS BARCELONA.........ITS MORE LIKE MOURINHO VS BARCA OR BARCA VS MOURINHO......that man surely knows how to sell himself. considering the fact REAL MADRID has been less important than MOURINHO...... surprising.....

Does Barcelona have to do "el pasillo" for Real Madrid in the Champions League? I'm guessing no since it hasn't been plastered on Marca.

excited to see which team dives and harresses the ref the most.

Aye, should be a whinefest. Although football-wise they should be as good or even better as the Liga and Copa ones!

Iker Casillas; Arbeloa, Albiol, Carvalho, Marcelo; Lass, Xabi Alonso; Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká, Di María; Higuaín.

http://www.studs-up.com/comics/2011-04-28.jpg

Looks like Diarra is the designated thug for the evening. He's had a few rough challenges and should have been booked for knocking Messi over on that counterattack, but no foul called.

**** me. I thought the game was tomorrow.

Adebayor clearly looking for the red card to strengthen Mourinho's argument.

astalavista Madrid ;)

Nice dive from Mascherano. That goal could have made a huge difference.

Adebayor clearly looking for the red card to strengthen Mourinho's argument.
I don't know if they were looking for them, but Ade, Carvalho, Xabi Alonso, and Lass all could have been sent off for double-yellows.

I thought Madrid would at least create a chance or two after the 1-1 to make things interesting, but I don't think they ever got in the penalty box again. Impressive work by Barcelona.

Cue endless debates about whether Higuain's goal should have counted.

So Mourinho's plan was good enough to progress to the finals. Whenever Real got an opportunity to strike the whistle blew for NO foul....funny. Mascherano tackle on Arbeloa a yellow card challenge NO foul. If someone can claim that Ade was sent to get a red to strengthen Mourinho's claim then I can claim the ref didn't send anyone off to weaken Mourinho's claim and overshadow the whole situation. Yes Carvalho had to be sent off so should have been.

Anyways hats off Iniesta. If i have seen anyone as influential as Zidane in midfield until now it has to be him. Congrats. I really really wish Busquets, Mascherano, Pedro and Alves get their act together. And i don't mean ACT as they take it usually.

Another thing is Madrid should learn from todays match that you just can't buy the best to win. No team has the divine right to win trophies. Kaka is past it. If big money people come in sell him.

Madrid would have played the second leg differently with a 0-0 in the first. If anything, this match proved that Mourinho was too cynical in the first leg.

Madrid are the sorest losers ever :nape: What is sadder is that their ridiculous claims are dominating the headlines.

I don't know if theres a conspiracy or not but technology must come in. Its great debating about controversial stuff but not all the time. One mistake costs a lot.

About his tactics yes you are correct and everyone wanted to see a spectacle but the problem is you are facing the best team in the world. They will perform wherever they play.

About being sore losers well almost everyone is otherwise it so meaning playing in a competition. By the way Mou needs to chill out and some Barca players should behave. I don't really have a bad impression about tactical choices as long as they work. Man Utd did it against us at Old Trafford. Yes Madrid are no Man Utd but the thing is u need players to make that happen. Even watching Barca with hatred u can't really help admiring moments of genius.

Abidal is a superhuman

Barcelona are the best team in the world, but Madrid are (arguably) the second-best. They should have had more faith in their own ability to pressure Barcelona.

I understand the complaints after the first leg (though the conspiracy theories are pathetic), but the ref did not favor Barcelona in this match. He made a controversial call, the same that many refs would in that situation, but he also went easy on Alonso, Lass, Carvalho, and Adebayor. It is childish to say that the ref "made it impossible" to win the match, especially considering that Madrid created only two shots on goal, both on the scoring play.

Barcelona should have their moment in the sun, but the headlines are all about the supposed controversy. "Club señor" my ass.

LAL at Cristiano calling Mascherano a diver... HAHAHA it must be in protuguese genes to b*tch when things don't go their way

Is it just me, or didn't Ronaldo dive in the challenge where Madrid's goal was disallowed? Seemed like that to me.

http://estaticos01.marca.com/albumes/2011/05/03/clasico_vuelta/1304455876_extras_albumes_0.jpg

diver.

Is it just me, or didn't Ronaldo dive in the challenge where Madrid's goal was disallowed? Seemed like that to me.

Yes he did there was no contact with Pique

Barca played way better than Madrid Yesterday,,,
They deserved to go through based on that..
but I still dont get it..
why did MAscherano have to dive and act like a p*ssy when the tie was in their hands ?

What a sore loser !
this is the point I emphasize on...barca can win easily..why playact ?

Sore loser?

He's a prick, always has been, always will. Sad but true.

Sore loser?

He's a prick, always has been, always will. Sad but true.

Right now its mostly the people who dont support who are enraged by this overdosed playacting by some of barcelona's players..
soon it will even creep onto you all too...
I mean...yesterday's draw was deserved and when Barca play like that, they deserve any win...
but needless playacting will soon get you fans frustrated too cause its damaging the reputation of your club which has some amazingly godlike skilled players in the team...

-------------
Same goes with some of us...like Ive been supporting United since 1993-1994...
whenever Nani or Ronaldo playacted it really got into my nerves and I never liked it...I used to vent out frustration too...
Agreed they did dive...but for barcelona, its becoming too frequent..
wonder if theres a fan campaign soon against this by Barca's very own fans...


P.S - Mourinho had many correct points in the anti barca feedback...but I would never want him to Manage Man United. He does over do it too at times and thinks that every interview has to be dramatic

Did you even read my post? Shouldn't be too hard, I even made it short for you.

I've always said I don't like when people dive, especially Barca players. There's no place for it in the game.

I repeat, sore loser?

Is it just me, or didn't Ronaldo dive in the challenge where Madrid's goal was disallowed? Seemed like that to me.

It looked like he did, but him landing on Masherano's ankle clearly affected the play and De Bleeckere blew the whistle as soon as it happened.

Some of the arguments they are making are pathetic, you know Mou would have said it was a good call had it been the other way.

Mou and CR7 are funny, they are the worst losers on the planet. :clapwap:

eh..maybe you should take off your anti-madrid tinted specs and view the incident again.

There was contact on both ronaldo and mascherano. But Ronaldo fell and clipped mascherano's leg due to pique's foul on him. It was a blatant nudge by pique. Ref bottled it IMO.

Awesome.

Couldn't agree more, what he has achieved is nothing short of inspirational, regardless of what team you support.

Even as a Madrid fan, Barca were the better team over two legs and were more deserved of progressing, even if some tactics employed by their players were questionable.

Seriously? Blatant nudge?

Seemed like Ronaldo put the ball ahead for himself, and when Pique turned a bit to go after it, there was slight contact and Ronaldo jumped to the ground like his legs had been suddenly cut off.

Haha ok so it should have been a foul on Pique, but not a goal. Even if a player falls accidentaly on another player, they still influence the run of play when it's the last defender, so goal should never have stood.

Its hilarious some of your peoples arguments, and that De Bleeckere who I thought did well throughout most of the match, is getting questioned as the worst officiating ever.

I can sit here and b*tch like all you losers about Carvalho staying in the game yesterday etc...., but the fact is its part of life, we have been on the good end and bad end of officiating calls, and we don't see our coach and players behaving like these portuguese princeses and that makes me proud.

Anyone living in Spain here? whats the condition there? I just read some guy posted in a BBC forum people KILLING each other over the whole stuff that has happened and he also mentioned he wasn't joking. Has this become that intense?

Yes, and the spanish NT is over.

I think Mourinho should be sacked. However a great coach he might be but he has created chaos. He should know better about the consequences than anyone. He worked there for a long time and knows about the political history. Sorry to others that i defended him. His self obsession is going to end his career in a disgusting way. I had a wrong perception of him being a great man behind the scenes.

So Barcelona wins.

After all the games, the winner is Barcelona.

Exactly. Game mouver, insert 6743124512112 coins more.

The final would be such a better game without Busquets.

Especially for United because he is a brilliant player.

I think he will play.
But one player is not that effective Barca, we saw the outcome 2 years ago :(

This CL final can go anywhere. Man U have the best established defense in Europe and well Barca is something else. Though IF Man U get the first goal Barca will find it tough. They are not on the song at moment.......misfiring and tired where. United may not have a Xavi, Iniesta and no need to mention but they have that edge on LUCK. Where do they get it from only the one who provides knows. Its unbelievable really at times and also frustrating for us rivals.

It's not luck, it's called Law of Attraction and we have it as well.

Especially for United because he is a brilliant player.

Why is his face so dumb looking?

Deception

Especially for United because he is a brilliant player.

And the biggest cheater of the two squads.

He's a diver, don't you have any in your squad?

Not on Busquets scale

Yeah they got experts too...

Nani vs Busquets will be classic, poor ref.

Nani isn't comparable to Biscuits. Nani rarely dives. Not as much as Ronaldo did at least.

It's not about the quantity, it's about quality. If you touch him, he acts like he suffered KO by Anderson Silva.

Btw, Alves is in as well.

In the final, I hope someone from Manchester kicks Busquets in the face.. and then gets away with it !! (H)

Sergio B. gets a proper wallop to the face, Dani Alves actually gets shot, and Barça's footballing philosophy still deservedly comes out on top ... this would be perfect! http://blog.meebo.com/skin/beta/img/emoticons/thumb-up.gif

We'll be happy enough with the Busquets thing, no need for Alves shooting.

what sh!t?

Exactly... Which one of them?

Shame that one of the best Madrid teams of the decade has to be recognised as this.

Incredible the level of both teams in August, incredible. What a sore losers and violent scum Madrid players are.

what sh!t?

Marcelo's vicious tackle on Cesc. After that all hell breaks loose, obviously.

JwwzYCK3qrU&feature=player_embedded

Also, Pepe once again being a total asshole. He had a yellow card already and in a corner kick situation he elbowed Pique, which the referee somehow missed. Prior to that tackle Marcelo kicked Messi while jumping and Messi running next to him... Just the usual scumbag stuff Madrid pull off.

Mourinho even had the nerve to say after the final incident (where he also went to the crowd and pinched Vilanova), that he's been polite and played like a man, not fallen to the ground from the first contact - referring to that tackle on Cesc. Are you ******* kidding me?

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21rqaIFKCwL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Marcelo's vicious tackle on Cesc.red cards exist to punish reckless challenges ... Marcelo got one ...



After that all hell breaks loose, obviously.obviously? why? there is no accommodation in the rules for a team's bench to rush onto the field ... the officials can handle it, or they will call in the police to do so ... don't bother suggesting an excuse for it; none exist ...



Also, Pepe once again being a total asshole. He had a yellow card already and in a corner kick situation he elbowed Pique, which the referee somehow missed. Prior to that tackle Marcelo kicked Messi while jumping and Messi running next to him... Just the usual scumbag stuff Madrid pull off.yes, and Barça were (and always have been) angels, perfectly timing all their challenges, and never once playacting in an exaggerated manner like bitch pussies to get the opposition carded ...



Mourinho even had the nerve to say after the final incident (where he also went to the crowd and pinched Vilanova), that he's been polite and played like a man, not fallen to the ground from the first contact - referring to that tackle on Cesc. Are you ******* kidding me?that's right, Vilanova hadn't provoked Mourinho earlier ... and Cesc was totally injured, meaning he had to roll around for a while before his superhuman immune response system allowed him to quickly and effectively 'jog it off' ...



http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21rqaIFKCwL._SL500_AA300_.jpgfeel free to colour the badge 'blue' and 'red' with the non-toxic markers they gave you, and then ask an adult to pin the badge onto your special little chest ... ok? there's a good lad!

Seriously? You're just putting words in my mouth.

The fact that Marcelo got punished doesn't mean it should be stopped. It's not just a reckless challenge gone wrong. It's an act of frustration, with intention to injure the target.

You were surprised the challenge started a brawl? Me not saying it was obvious doesn't mean I encourage such behaviour. But with the recent matches between the teams, to me it was pretty obvious that an uncalled challenge like that in front of the benches will most likely end up in a brawl.

And once again, I've never claimed Barca are angels or supported playacting from anyone - I've always tried to be pretty clear about my point in those situations, no matter who's the diver. But there's a middleground between being an angel and being a thug/bitch. Most players in the game are like that. The one's that are angels deserve praise for it, the one's that are assholes deserve **** for it.

So provoking is now an excuse for laying one's hand on another? I think Jose should be able to take it. Mourinho wasn't saying Cesc exaggerated a bit, he was calling that a dive. The bastard scissor tackled him catching first his right ankle, and then following through to the back of his knee with his other leg. You think Cesc wasn't hurt at all? He had an icepack taped onto his knee right after the match. And again, even if he wasn't hurt, that's sadly typical behaviour in modern football - almost everyone exaggerates their "injuries", that's far different from blatant diving. And Cesc didn't quickly jog it off. He was on the ground getting treated during the brawl. (Also, I saw a video which suggested that Mourinho went to give him a little kick while he was in the ground, but I won't say he did, as the video was really tough to interprete.

And for someone who likes to pick on other people's arguments - or lack thereof - I'm really disappointed in your last statement. When everything else fails, try insulting, and being condescending - yeah, that will work. Good job, "lad".

I don't want to be condescending to you, but you posted that stupid special needs badge, and it deserves a retort ...

and I'm honestly surprised that you -- who are not one of the numpty Barça fanboy brigade -- are taking such a clear side on this issue ...

I think it is ridiculous to insinuate that Marcelo was trying to injure Cesc because you have absolutely no proof; reckless challenges have always existed, and red cards exist to punish them ... and Pepe was clearly mental long before José was his manager ...

I think it is a disgrace that Barça have in recent years taken this high-and-mighty stand to all aspects of football and socio-political life, when they only have claim to a certain style aspect of playing with the football ...

and yes, Moudrid clearly want to ruffle the feathers in their attempt to topple the greatest footballing side ever seen ... but Barça constantly acting the victim is pouring fuel onto the fire, and is what is causing the envelope of antagonization to be pushed in this rivalry ...

when even intelligent fans like you fail to see the contributing faults with your own team, we really do have a problem ...

Again, at which point did I blame Jose for Pepe's mental state?

Didn't think you'd think that pic that seriously, just thought it was a funny end to the post - after all, Jose has called himself special.

You keep talking abotu Barca putting themself up on a pedestal, etc. How does this happen during a game? How does it justify violent actions?

Of course I can't for sure know what Marcelo is thinking in the challenge, but it's a stupid, unnecessary challenge, in the dying minutes of the match in which their hopes of the title have all but been crushed. Seems pretty logical (with his past actions of stupid behaviour), and by looking at the challenge, that harming Cesc may well have been on his mind.

If I wanted to lower myself to your level (with your marker comment), I could say something about you going back to cleansing the ass of Jose with your tongue, but I won't. :)

Again, at which point did I blame Jose for Pepe's mental state?you don't ... just thought it bore mentioning ...

Mourinho has made Madrid play dirtier (tactical fouls and aggression towards opposing players) while simultaneously convincing his players that they are victims. It's a dangerous escalation of an already bitter rivalry.

The most surprising result to me is the change in Casillas' attitude. I can't remember him ever entering in any controversy, and now he is playing the victim just as much as Mourinho, when the evidence is clear that referee calls are correct.

Absolutely spot on on the Casillas thing. I'm really surprised as to how Jose convinced them about this nonsense. Specially Iker looks like totally believing this bs.

Kinda looks to me like he's trying to contain someone stronger than him, and sort of loses balance right near Cesc.

Oh my God did you see Coentrão? He TOTALLY put himself in Messi's path on purpose to injure him!

shambolic staff at both ends.

That's maybe dangerous and i think some people crossed the line, but i actually love this. Old school rivalry.


Piqué should shut up, is maybe right when he says that Mou is destroying Spanish football but Shakira is also destroying the world music and he says nothing (H).

See!

Kaka's like Flanders, really.

Who is that on the left? Xavi?

Kaka's like Flanders, really.

Not like, he is.

Who is that on the left? Xavi?

I think is Mascherano, Xavi is next to Alonso and Benzema.

I thought Mascherano was insane.

Me too but is calm and smart, he will be a good coach.

Kaka's like Flanders, really.


Hahaha. Doesn't surprise me.

I thought Mascherano was insane.

He plays like a thug at times, it was good seeing him calming down Higuain instead of trying to kick his ass Horse-face style.

Me too but is calm and smart, he will be a good coach.

No, that just proves he is more insane. Calm in one moment and going ape sh!t another. Just like Ron Artest.

People has a very wrong image of Mascherano, his press conferences and statements are always class, he is very clever.

I like Mascherano's playing style. I want there to be a Mascherano/Messi hybrid in the future who becomes the ultimate complete player.

You're talking about Beckenbauer.

You're talking about Beckenbauer.

LOL

I don't think Kaka feels part of Mourinho's Madrid.It's probably why he didn't take part in that. He doesn't seem to have any motivation. It's a shame to see such talent go to waste.

No, that just proves he is more insane. Calm in one moment and going ape sh!t another. Just like Ron Artest.
