God dammit Zanela!!!

I didn't say finalist, only short-listed, as in the 23 player short-list FIFA releases. And considering no one, outside of Messi, is the undisputed best at his position, shouldn't Bravo based on his stats and titles be considered, arguably, the best GK right now, taking into account last season...

So you don't think Bravo is good enough and deserving enough to be included in that praise?

What are you talking about?!? You said it wasn't just one game that built Bravo's reputation, and I just said that yes, add last season as well as last game, and throw in 5 or 6 more to come! No irony here.

Exactly, adding last season and 5 or 6 more games like Sunday's, he could become best GK in the world and should likely end up short-listed for the Ballon d'Or.

Question is, how many more games like Sunday's before Bravo becomes the best GK in the world? I'd say 5 or 6 at most.

It's blatantly obvious Laporte leaves a huge hole because he's too concerned with Messi. The RB gets faked out by Rakitic's feint, but he's also initially concerned by Messi. If you don't want to see it, that's your mistake.

He's right. Messi drags two defenders, specially the CB Laporte out of position and they never have time to recover to Suarez. Here's the full vid, so you can see. https://streamable.com/nanl

Soldado and Aspas score on debut. La Liga sucks, EPL reigns supreme! DonAspas will rise again!

Nah, they had some chances but the shots were not great. Cristiano had 10 shots and only a couple looked dangerous.

"Me cago en tu puta madre" literally translates in English as "I shit on your whore mother" but it's actual meaning is not so close to that, at least in my Spanish. The insult would be closer translated into "Screw you" or "Fuck you" Perhaps someone from Spain could opine on this. DonAndres...

He's just a taskmaster type of coach. Gets the players in shape, adds discipline to the squad, but doesn't really bring anything innovative and revolutionary. Hasn't shown to be a great tactician either.

Can't blame any of the front 3. Service was tragic. All three were willing and trying, but can only do so much without support. Was re-watching some of the game in fast forward, the balls being sent to Messi and Suarez in particular were horrible, and even when they got some they were...

Ufff Dani, have a stinker why don't you. Jeez! He had a good game vs Sevilla just 3 days ago, but yikes did he stunk tonight.

Rafinha is not a CM people, certainly not now, perhaps never. Been saying it for months, even getting criticized. He might have something to offer as an attacker, like we saw vs Sevilla, but he simply is not good at CM, not one bit.

Main thing to take from this game is squad depth will give the team trouble. They have bodies, but the quality is very very suspect. Midfield outside of the starting 3 is not good, and the defense is one key injury away from getting exploited. If they manage to stay afloat and close in La...

Messi Alves Suarez

I don't really know what you expect to be honest? He takes risks with his passing and sometimes these risks lead to mistakes, this has been true for every single keeper that uses his feet to the level MAtS does. Was true with Valdes and is true with Manuel Neuer. I don't really know what you...

Really Alarcon? MAtS had a very positive UCL campaign, a campaign I might add that was stocked full of difficult matches and opponents. Something that really can't be said about Bravo, whom everyone seems to be praising lately, yet he had one of the easiest seasons under posts a keeper could...
