With all due respect to Liverpool, Atletico Madrid v. Real Madrid is bit of a different type of affair. He wasn't raised a Liverpool fan (not saying his choice was the correct one), and in Spain this carries plenty of weight. Though then again, Xabi did go to Real being a Sociedad type...

Well, Rossi was born in New Jersey so that shouldn't come as a surprise. So you can't really compare him to a Latin American who's never spoken english in his life before moving to an English-speaking country.

As an Atletico fan from birth, I somehow doubt he'd consider even RM.

Not saying Rijkaard's two last seasons were a success, far from it to be fair. And the fact is that with Rosell at helm, I can see Tito getting the sack at the end of next season and our beloved Presí hiring someone utterly shit to replace him (there aren't too many coaches fit for the job), IF...

That's the thing, he doesn't. He needs go forward on his own terms while staying true to the Barça's style while adding something of his own into the mix. The same way Pep did when he took over from Frank. The only ones talking about pressure surrounding Vilanova are the fans and the media...

The problem is though, that majority of both the fans and the media have a tendency of setting a number of irrational expectations based on previous results. Previous results, however, should be of secondary importance as this is a new project with new coaching staff, and it should be treated as...

Who expected Pep to take Barça and turn it into the team it is now when he took over 4 years back? I'd rather evaluate Tito on his performance in the upcoming two years and reserve my doubts for the future.

El puto amo!

The problem with our directors has always been the issue of slow reaction to amazing talent. I can't believe Zubi and the scouting department can concentrate only one transfer at a time. I mean yes, Zubi probably has to negotiate with Valencia for Alba, but I'd figure there would be some staff...

Not a single fuck was given that day :D

He did exactly what he was supposed to - scoring goals when needed. Bossing around was definitely not the best description to use in this context though. Can't blame a lad from getting excited, though, now can you? haha. Oh, and Schweini's passes were really great - but credit for that...

90% - where did you get that number from? Realistically, if the Dutch beat Portugal and Denmark loses to Germany, which by all likelihood will happen, the Netherlands and the Germans progress out of the group stages. And to be fair, the Portuguese aren't THAT good.

Great performance tonight. Loved the moment when he nearly walked past the Dutch defense and set himself for a shot on goal.

What. A. Beast. Bossed the Netherlands' defense throughout the whole game right until he was subbed.

This. Can't believe we're letting Miño leave for free, especially as he is in my opinion much better than Oier or Masip. If he really is about to leave, then at least try generating sound income from the transfer

That's actually an Ukrainian supporter - and I honestly have no bloody clue what that is...

The whole Spanish defense decided to have a day-off today. They were rarely confident off the ball and that one blunder by Ramos leading to Ballotelli's goal scoring opportunity made me jump up out of anger. Arbeloa was a pure liability every single time he came up against Cassano. Pique...

Man, such a fantastic player. He at times simply flew past the Italian players like the ghost he is.

Pretty much this. I'd rather see how Grimaldo develops, before signing a *young LB. Not that I am worried with his development, but it's hard to predict what'll happen in the next 3-4 years. *young meaning in this context the following: a football player playing primarily as a left back of 18...
