well, actually bybuti's got a point. that line's supposed to be skewed since we're not looking straight at a surface but from a slanted perspective. but whatever right.

the goal WAS counted, nonetheless. ha.

We play Sevilla in the cup.First leg on 6th January second one week later. We drawn maybe the best possible opponent but hope we make it trough...

Official line-up: Valdes - Alves, Marquez, Chygrynskiy, Maxwell - Xavi, Yaya, Keita - Henry, Bojan, Pedro.

Messi, Iniesta, Puyol, Pique, Abidal and Ibra rested. I expect a great game from Bojan and Pedro :D

Visca el Barça!

for anyone who missed it:


I told you guys that Zlatan was the king and was in a league of his own (those exact words, I think) back when the rumours first cropped up that he could be coming to Barcelona ... quite a few of you still wanted David Villa to come ... anyway, glad to see that it is obvious now why I so strongly believed what I said ...

How was the call incorrect? The pass is sweet but I understand the call.

don't get me wrong, I can see why the ref gave the decision; the foot was high, no doubt ... but I question if this was dangerous play ...

I felt Zlatan's superlative reach allowed him to be in total control of the ball the whole way through, and it wasn't a case of him contesting a 50-50 challenge for the ball against the defenders ...

the defenders did not appear to be going in for a challenge with their heads either, which would have made it dangerous play ... arguably, they didn't go in because it would have been putting themselves danger, but that is similar to not going in for a 50-50 tackle on the ground and allowing an opposing player free reign to completely get the ball ...

it looks to me like this incident falls under the same grey area as overhead bicycle kicks ... I've seen calls go both ways, at the discretion of the referee ...

if there is a clear-cut definition in the rule books -- regarding the minimum distance a defender must be from a player raising his foot high, etc. -- then let me know, coz I am going on my understanding of the rule, but have not looked the specifics up ...

yeah, and basically zlatan's foot is nowhere near that defender's body, let alone his face. funny refereeing, understandable but unreasonable given the situation :clapwap:. but hey that was a nice trick alright
