He spent half his career offsides :lol:

Oh yeah, I forgot. :cesc:

Mercenary, why? Because he plays for PSG? Do you even know the circumstances/reasoning for why he went there?

I know you do, you've been sent to Serie B for it before ;)

That offside was really close, even to me watching replays it looks different depending on the angle, so it's not a big controversy that the ref made the call he did really.

Yeah, that's the only thing, will the smaller/less rich countries be able to afford something like this? Would think it would have to be regulated across the board somehow if this is FIFA suggesting this.

Yep, also read that Chelsea are going to try to hijack the potential deal with Milan, but I didn't bother to check the source of that (only read it in passing) so not sure how reliable that is. And tbh I haven't really seen him play so not sure how he's doing right now.

Some other threads must have been deleted too though as I lost over 1000 and I know I did not have that many posts in Ibra thread :lol:

Yeah, the ref seemed to allow quite a few bad challenges from both sides.

Glad to hear it won't be for long. Really hope he's back for the second leg but as someone else said, if he's not 100% fit he should sit it out rather than risk him being out for longer and missing a potential semifinal clash.

tbh I think a lot of the "hating", at least in this particular case, was just out of shock or frustration that we lost it at the very end, notice how most of the bashing posts are immediately after the game & most of the later ones are calmer & attribute the goal to Bartra's deflection or bad...

The same "good luck charm" who makes all the match threads. Awkward eh? :p In all seriousness though I'm really anxious to know how bad the injury is, hopefully he'll come back quickly as usual like the beast he is.

I feel your pain, I'm done with uni but now I have work (will find out in the next couple days if I have to work next Wednesday or not). When I was still in school, I actually got my professor to let me take an exam early so I wouldn't miss a Clasico - good thing I did too, it was the manita. :)

tbh, he has too many brain farts to be top 10, Barzagli's a better shout though.

Admittedly a strong bias makes it hard for me to put Pepe in a top 10 anything (besides maybe top 10 psychopaths) but it's probably true that he's one of the top 10 CB's right now. I would not put Varane yet, but at the rate he is going, he surely will be in that list in the next couple years...

It would also cut down on some of the corruption in the sport I suppose, depending on how far they're going to go with the technology. Wouldn't be able to do anything about for example, a defender purposely scoring an own goal, or a gk purposely conceding, but can at least cut down on how much a...

My first (& so far only) time seeing Barca live was the 2-0 loss at the San Siro, worst I've recalled seeing Barca play in quite a while. Seems we've all had a bit of bad luck lol, hopefully next season I can go to another match & see a better performance.

I put a Pep face because I could never see it happening (how would something like that work anyway?) but it's honestly not that outlandish a suggestion if it could :lol: It would certainly cut down on a lot of poor sportsmanship. Serial divers like Alexis, Suarez, Di Maria would think twice...

I'm for it, definitely in regards to whether the ball crossed the line or not, seen too many terrible calls over the years. And it would take up less time than the alternative of instant replay/challenges like in some American sports. Of course the possibility of human error is part of the sport...

Yes, next week.
