Holy shit.

Well, 3 points at least.

HAHAHAHAHA. Amusing match.

6 minutes of extra time? Holy shit.

Now I'm really glad for the own goal.

That was unexpected.

Roflmao.

Nah, too mainstream. Besides, I've got some stuff to do on the computer so I'll try to do both at the same time.

Does anyone have a stream link? Just got home.

This was hilarious!

I said so because we usually don't expect small looking players to be good at it, or to have that great of a balance for that matter. Mostly because they seem so fragile that one would think any contact would make them go down. But it really has little to do with being bulky, Messi looks like a flea but he's a tough guy to bring down to the ground, most of it due to his balance and muscular lower body - his legs are toned as hell.

He is really slim. It's amazing the way he can defend and tackle despite his frame.

Euhm... I think I can see where this is going :eyebrows:

Assisted Hulk's goal just a few minutes ago :blue scalf:

We're basically all monkeys as well but some people will get offended if you call them apes. Not that I think anyone should get offended by being called african when they're not. Anyways, if things remain the way they are, I can't see a future for Mata here. He needs to get his shit together and start showing the player he used to be last season asap.

How come this guy has not been banned yet?

I'd like to see him playing at AM one of these days.

He is the one I like the least among them.

I expect to see Luiz Gustavo starting every game at least, he's by far the best dm we have. The second one could be anyone between Paulinho, Fernandinho, Ramires or Hernanes depending on what tactical approach we want. Personally, I'd choose Fernandinho or Hernanes as they're very well-rounded. If I wanted to focus more on speed and counter attacking I'd pick Ramires.

No. I'm not talking about his pass that should have been an assist, his passes were very sharp in general.

I'm definitely seeing an improvement on his passes. Against City they were sublime (talking about Rambo).

I would still have Luiz Gustavo instead of either Fernandinho or Ramires for that extra bit of defensiveness. And he's also an offensive asset, he has good passing range on him. I'm a huge fan, the guy is a beast. Not so sure about Lucas either... but it may be worth a shot. I have nothing to say about the others. They really seem to be the best choices for those positions.

I really wish he would call Willian and Fernandinho and I've been saying that since I've seen them playing for Shaktar last year.

It's not like we need any of them either. And besides Thiago (but he's not a finished product) I don't think I'll ever think we should have secured them.

Like Deco? I don't think so. Probably because we didn't feel like we needed him and also because that player would not be strengthening one of the biggest contenders to take the cup in our country when we sorely need good strikers and the WC is just around the corner.
