Of course. Real plays more direct so players like Ronaldo and Di Maria take on their man more frequently and play a vertical game in order to work their way towards goal. For the Barca players, on the other hand, the first priority is often not to lose the ball so that indicates quite a lot. :)

Perhaps he prefers Neymar going to Barca instead of Madrid. Also, he has watched Barca play. Remember the Club World Cup final? :p :O

Nah man. I was still lurking at that time. Also, I still can't get around how awesome you've made my username. :wub:

A belated happy new year mate. Man, you've got some 'unwanted distractions' on your profile. :D :O

Yeah, I guess. Btw, thank goodness PTW is back. I can relax now without worrying about people trying to jump on me. :O

Yo, how was your start to the new year? I wished Liverpool wins the PL because why not? :O

<:O

:facepalm:

There seems to be some truth in that, me thinks. Highly improbable that Atleti will lose two of their crucial first team players in such a short span of time to the same club.

He isn't known as El Jefecito for nothing. :p

What're you talking about? :O >.>

I was explaining why entirely blaming Dhoni was wrong. That's all. It wasn't directed to anyone who posted in this thread but it was something I observed in the Indian media. We didn't bowl well in the second T20 and the reason we lost it in the end was because we realized that target in the...

I wanted to see the dream trio of Ronnie-Eto'o-Messi in full force. :(

Dhoni is the person I'm basing my opinions on, so I don't see how he's irrelevant. Seems to me that we're having and not having this discussion and the longer it gets, the more awkward convincing each other becomes. :O Yes, me being vague could've been a possibility. Here's exactly what I said...

:O *Sigh* Wrongly putting all blame on Dhoni and turning a blind eye to the obvious is what makes me so 'eager', even though I'm not. Funny, huh? Also, where did I deny or even give a hint of denial that Pak, or any other subcontinent team for that matter, is not vulnerable to good swing...

I don't know why you're so eager to jump to the topic of the Pak batsman playing swing when clearly that's not the point I'm trying to focus at. :O About the part regarding pitching consistently, you do realize that I was talking about the last match? (Forgive me for being vague if that's not...

I don't think saying the part in bold is true because, firstly, Thiago is an excellent option for rotation. Our midfielders, particularly Andres and Cesc, shouldn't be playing 90 minutes week in week out and Xavi needs to be preserved as much as possible. He has shown to be capable of playing in...

I'd love to talk about how capable my team is when it comes to playing swing but as I said earlier, that would be a completely different topic. We're (Or at least I.) talking about why the Indian team lost and whether the entire blame should be on Dhoni or not. Anything other than that is...

I didn't say anything about how many experienced batsmen you currently have. What I said was those experienced batsmen struggle when the ball moves around and at times do not contribute consistently to the scoreboard. Yes, the team when on form is great..........on fast tracks where the ball...

Great interview. Agree with everything he says about why Milan aren't what they should and used to be. Also, I've got to admit, I'm somewhat envious of Milan and their legendary defenders. :wub: :D
