The Official Football (Soccer) Thread
Javier:
I feel that the media has been the main one dissing a defensive scheme in the sport. In practically every other sport, defense is appreciated and respected. I prefer to let football evolve. The sport has gone through a good number of changes in the past 11 years. And teams shouldn't try to change their identity to please some fans that prefer one way of playing the sport.

Exactly. The ref stole this one with that decision. It doesn't take a genius to see the dynamic of the game completely changed after a terrible red card call.
Pathetic.
Yet all the headlines will forego this and just praise Messi ::)

The red card was fully deserved. If you don't see that the fact that it was intentional you must be blind. A few minutes earlier Pepe was hit pretty bad by Alves (or someone else), and my friend said 'wait up, Pepes revenge will follow'... and then boom... Pepe even realized that he fucked up when he tried to hide from the ref right after the foul. This was not accidental.
Yeah Alves acting was ridiculous, but that doesn't make it less of a red card.
And Di Maria is a rat too. No need to defend your Portuguese heroes. We've seen in the last few international tournaments how ugly they can be.
ANd Messi is the only one who deserves praise after this game. These Iberians are all the same- and I'm not English

The more i see the tackle the more i think it was a red, it was high and no where near the ball.
Mourinho comments suggesting there is a grand scheme involving uefa to ensure barca win is ridiculous.
I dread the day he takes over at united, great manager but he is scum and its no wonder his sides are involved in conflict all the time as they take their lead from him .

Messi was absolutely INVISIBLE before Pepe got a terrible red card call. In these recent 3 Barca-Madrid games, Pepe has kept Messi very quiet. That bullshit of a red card decided this tie.
Disgusting

Not true, Messi was showing class even before Pepe got sent off.
Also, Di Maria was diving about, as well as trying to get Alves sent off after every challenge.
You're biased view on this game's unreal. However, a player who's been criticised here that I'd defend is Adebayor. Imo he did nothing wrong in the game.
I'd love to see players such as Busquets (who's behaviour was particularly disgusting), Pedro, Di Maria etc. play even just a handful of games in the SPL, they'd get absolutely broken !

Well it seems to be true that Pepe didn't really touch him:
But you can't blame the ref, Pepe deserves it for his stupidity. The ref can't study the situation over and over, and the way Pepe went for the ball, it looked brutal. Real always tries to destroy Barca with foul play, and that's what they get.
I mean, we're talking about Pepe. He's a lunatic and now he got what he deserved.
I call it justice because he usually comes away with actions like this.
Maybe the red card was cruical, but Barca was the better team anyway. Real couldn't get shit together @ home. What could they expect @ Camp Nou? Honestly, I don't know how they should've adavnced anyway with this tactic-
