Wait...you.....you're not....implying that this wasn't a straight red...are you?

I'm glad you're all at least owning up to just having straight, unadulterated hate for Barcelona. You guys don't let little things like facts get in the way.

Hahaha you actually bought Alves lame acting? There is no hope for you. Wait, the tackle was SO bad he went off on a stretcher, then jogs back on as if nothing happened. Hahaha

studs up tackle no where near the ball looks like a red to me.

hate on, boo.

That picture belies what actually happened. The replays show that no contact was made, and that was after Pepe played the ball. Mr Argentino is right though. Messi wasn't in the game until Pepe was sent off. I'm sorry but Spanish football is a disgrace. It's a sad state of affairs when the best teams in the world play football like that. Not a single redeeming quality in that game except for Messi's second goal. Last week's big English games were infinitely more exciting than that garbage.

I need Dani Alves to teach me that awesome skill of stopping his leg in midswing and instantly swinging it the other way...perfect timing no less, with Pepe's studs just millimeters away (but not touching of course ) Anyone else here thirsty?

+1

This deluded guy can't see that Dani Alves MOVES his leg in the direction of where Pepe's foot is going. So he swings it around as if contact was made, but in reality there is little or if any contact at all. Then he procedes to cry like a little GIRL on the floor and rolls around in an Oscar worthy performance.
And funny how he chose to ignore the fact that he was STRETCHERED off the pitch, then came back on right away as if nothing was wrong. Barca medical team must really work miracles..

gosh darn it guys, i feel really bad now. If only the team I support could model themselves after the white knights of Real Madrid, the world of football would be a better place. Funny how you dummies conveniently forget the other **** those assholes pulled with no calls whatsover. Marcelo stomping on Pedro's knee....Adebayor practically punching Busquets in the face. I WISH we could be more like them. we see what we want to see. What I see is a big fat W and Man U being the last step in capturing the 3rd CL in 3 years. It's 2009 CL Final all over again. You are all welcome to put your money where you mouth is, of course...oh wait...it wouldn't be fair...they're just gonna cheat anyway, right?

Damn...must suck to hate on this...



And rooting for 10 men behind the ball? NICE. Even their own pretty boy can't stand their bullshit tactics...

Oh. my. god. NOBODY IS DEFENDING REAL MADRID!! People are just trying to point out to you that Barcelona CHEATED their way through. This ruined the game for all the neutrals like me, hence why we are commenting on how much of a dick Dani Alves is and what a bunch of girls Barca players are for rolling around and conning the ref. It's not rocket science. But I think you're too biased to acknowledge anything wrong your players do. Just answer me this and I'll leave it at that: How do you feel about the incident when Busquets went down holding his face when there was no contact made there? (Wow.. this is going to be hard to answer for someone so biased..)

Jared don't even bother. You can't reason with him

My feelings on Sergio Busquets have been voiced in this thread. His actions today did nothing to change that. How about this...did the better team win? I bring Real Madrid up because you supposed purists of the sport seem to take no umbrage with their cynical tackling, playing 10 men behind the ball, 20% possession AT HOME, etc....doesn't that ruin the game? I think so. You go after one side for the dives, the stretchers, the hounding the ref....I personally was not a fan of the way Barcelona acted at times today. But read the goddamn reports..****, just watch the game with your eyeballs...BOTH teams were doing it. Why not bring BOTH teams up when you talk about diving??? WHY? Because you guys already brought your own biases into this discussion. Whether Barcelona acted saintly for 90 minutes or rolled around like little bitches, you were going to come to the same conclusion..."I hate Barcelona" ****, at least own up to the fact that your opinion has no basis in objectivity. I hate the Celtics, Giants, UCLA, and Notre Dame for no other reason than they exist and are rivals with teams I support. At least StephenHero had the balls to just say it.

Jose needs to shut up...I can see how and why he is frustrated, but claiming a UEFA conspiracy is nuts...Barca sure can pass real purty

I enjoyed the forced silence immediately following the match. Too bad it couldn't last.

Never a red.
