We've had 6 years of that practice. If they park the bus and win then it wasn't meant to be, not cos we didn't train well enough a few days before the game.
But they aren't close, goal scoring perhaps, but Ronaldo would never give a performance like Messi did in the CDR. He may have scored two goals, yes, but little else.
Dude there's no need to explain, :lol: anyone with a brain realises they are not comparable.
My facebook feed has been full of people posting the goal all day. Don't remember anyone caring for that Bale goal.
This is an overlooked bit of the goal, but Rico Moreno I believe it is, clearly tries take Messi down before he gets into the box, he takes a large kick at his legs, but Messi doesn't flinch. Many would certainly have gone down.
Is there any footage of the benches reaction when the goal went in, or some of the players on the pitch (before they ran to celebrate)?
I've got to imagine there were hands on head.
Probably happens more because the bigger teams are getting relatively more and more money compared to the smaller teams which leads to some teams being able to field 2nd teams stronger than others firsts. Therefore more rotation therefore more match fit players ready for all competitions.
Ramsey has resorted back to kind of pre last season form, he is not influencing games like he was. Then again iniesta doesn't influence that much either any more and Butaan has a point of a box to box that can get the ball to the front 3 whilst defending and attacking is kind of what we want. I...
So if you guys think we can't win without Suarez then surely it is an even better decision to not play him. What if he got injured in this game, then we would have it worse in the CDR and CL finals.
