Real Football (Soccer to you Yanks) Thread

Nice to see Madrid breed racists (Arbeloa) and kickers (the other 10)

.

I'd rather watch kickers than divers. Barca disgusted me last night with their play acting.

Is spanish football usually that dull?
What a waste of 90 minutes that was yesterday, gimme MLS anyday if that's a typical match, especially against two rivals
"We came here expecting the best of the best, instead what we got is the worst of the best" summed it up pretty well I thought

They didn't use to be like this. They used to be such great games, end to end stuff.

Best game I've seen this year had to be the inter v milan game, so far

madrid were the worst on the night,,all of the underhand niggling and off the ball incidents were in my eyes pathetic considering the talent in the team

spanish football can be dull or brilliant,luckily we should see man united v barca in the final.....and that should be a game worth watching

as for MLS,the americans in it see it as a stage to get spotted by a european club so they play to their best ability,the rest see it as a cash cow in which to end their careers

When was this happening?

When Dani Alves got taken off on a stretcher, only to get back on 5 seconds later once the red card had come out?

Or was it when Pedro ran into a madrid player and fell down to the floor holding his face?

Or was it when Xavi got tripped in a 50/50 challenge, and rolled around on the floor for a good minute, watering the grass with his tears?

perhaps it was the bodycheck 30 yards off the ball,or the stamp in the 6 yard box......i wont even mention the constant harrasment of the ref

Pepe deserved to be sent off. There was no difference between that tackle and the one Paul Scholes did against Man City, both were high, both were mistimed and both, and this is the crucial part, were showing studs.

If anyone is negating the quality of the game, blame Real Madird and Mourinho, because their tactics were anti-football. They played a defender in midfield (Pepe) and a defensive minded midfielder (Lass). Barcelona were the only ones trying to win the game. And they deservedly won it.

To be honest, I am glad that Barca along with Real Madrid are charged with incidents during and after the match
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13226012.stm it isn't what I want too see from either

[Tuffdisc]

Battle Royale at Camp Nou is on tonight, after last week's game it is worth watching every last minute. If Real were to score two goals, it should send the tie into extra time, though I seriously doubt they can come back from 2-0

[Springsteen]

Barcelona will win 3-0. There's also an almighty rainstorm at the Nou Camp.

[TGLucario475]

So the 4 game seige is finally over, this is probably even better than the Liverpool v Everton triple-bill a few years ago.

[Springsteen]

We won't have to worry about Sky missing a goal and cutting to adverts.

[Zorak]

I just saw a goal. What was wrong with it? The dive from the barca defender?

[Zorak]

I need a decent stream
