That * on that picture is pure gold.
I'll have to reread it later. Right now I'm too busy making sure no bad people have ever rooted for the Spurs before I decide to root for them tonight.
That * on that picture is pure gold.
Manny is basically a Laker fan in soccer.
Barça always struggle against elite teams.
They have no real Plan B if they're met with a well organised top quality side, such as Chelsea or Manchester United, Inter...
They got lucky against Chelsea 2 years ago, they lost against Inter last year, and they sucked this year.
During those games they are becoming whiny arrogant diving .
As opposed to all those other teams that don't struggle against elite teams? Hint: if there is a team that doesn't struggle against your team, your team isn't elite.
What should their plan B be? They attack all the time, it they are up that's great, if they're down what exactly should they do? Switch into defensive mode? Oh and i didn't see them have too many problems against ManUtd two years ago in the finals.
my point was when they struggle and their plan will not work they act like .
And it was an ugly final against ManU, Barça just happen to have elite players who can win them games.
This is exactly what I feared would happen. Every fan butthurt Barca beat their team's ass for the last couple of years is coming out of the woodwork claiming diving and acting is the only reason Barca wins. ing pathetic.
I don't blame the fans though. Butthurt fans will be butthurt fans. This is the real crime behind Alves and Busquet's actions. Giving dumb asses fuel for their ranting.
I have no problem with Alves or Busquet being suspended for acting. They deserve it, but to claim Barca can't beat elite teams without cheating is as moronic and shortsighted as a statement gets.
When I first started to follow the sport a decade or so ago, the thing that almost made me stop was the diving and acting. That sniper gif thats used says it perfectly.
It is what it is
It is ing terrible, I could hardly watch a large proportion of the most recent clasicos due to it. What do I expect for this tuesday? The same exact thing.
I know what it is, I've followed the sport all my life. Let's not pretend somehow Barca does it more than everyone else. English teams and players flop as well. , in 2002, England beat Argentina in the World Cup because Beckham and Owen flopped like fish out of water and got themselves a penalty.
Like you said it is what it is. Trying to pretend Barca are somehow disgusting cheaters is so ing hypocritical.
Having said that, I'm all for suspending players that blatantly lie with their acting. The harsher the suspension the better. em.
Yeah, suspensions will be the only way to stop it but they'll never do it enough.
It's not the flopping that annoys me, it's the constant surrounding the ref. If the captain is speaking to the ref that's fine, but to gangrape the ref is unnaceptable.
(I'm talking about all teams btw)
if you're talking about me, i'm a barça fan, i just don't like some of the players in the squad and their behaviour. I've just said they dive and act.
They are the better team, they don't need alll these bs to win.
Nice save by Iker.
Barca just killin' em'
THe only time Ronaldo decides to pass the ball is when he should have taken the shot.
He passed the ball to nobody
What a ing POS
did anyone see Kaka allready?![]()
Carvalho should have been sent off already, then we have to hear Mourinho complain about the refs.
At least RMA is trying something offensively this time.
They are a little chaotic, but they are trying...
The previous game was boring as .
Barca is as usual just waiting until they play against 10....
Sometimes Barca gets too complacent with the ball, taking unnecessary risks.
Specially when they are close to Valdez.
If, by chance, a RMA player can take advantage of one of those lazy passes, they could score.
Only then this game will get interesting.
