Louislagerfeld thinks Atletico are at the same level as Man United, Southampton, and Arsenal. man...did you get hacked by oneilmatt?

no, that @oneilmatt dude showed his true colors in one thread here, I don't **** with him

 

you obviously haven't seen atletico play. they are ruthless.

I have watched them.


Top 2? No.


Top 5? Yes.

Dude just doesn't want to admit that Atletico is better than Arsenal 

Atletico would give Arsenal wedgies

NO

not in a million years

lol the majority of Spaniards I have come across all speak with a lisp

Anyways I have City winning 2-1, Neymar scores for Barca.

Well I mean that's the "real" Spanish so of course they sound like that.

Btw, do Dominicans describe European Spanish as Castellano Or just Español?

we describe it as Castellano in DR. Spanish is kinda like a dialect of Castilian.

Never knew you had Dominican roots fam. God bless your brothers who've relocated here to España over the years. I was worried about haircuts when I first got out here, been going to this one Dominican shop and each of the three barbers I've been cut by cut better than my barber of 10 years back home which is damn impressive.

yes I am full Dominican, both my parents are as well. I was born in the capital, then migrated to the US aged 7. When I was younger I didn't quite understand the decision to come to the US. When I got older and had a better understanding of the situation, I told my parents we should have headed to Spain but they chose the US because of more opportunities here. There's a kid from the motherland who plays on the national team and RM Castilla right now. Contrary to popular belief, not all of us come out the womb with a bat and a glove. Football has been played there since my dad can remember, but it picked up steam in the early 2000's.

Psk- you're really waving that anti-lvg flag my dude.

I posted that last article about Koeman's feedback regarding LvG because it was relevant to the ongoing conversation we in the thread have been discussing. I never really looked at it that way but I guess I am (waving the anti LvG flag). I mean I am the one that said from jump that he wouldn't succeed at United. He's too rigid & he's flamed out every where he's been including with the Dutch team. Its only gotten worse as he's gotten older. Part of it is I'm tired of seeing these retread coaches, especially these older ones. Oh well.

Edit - Swansea director John van Zweden called LvG an arrogant b*st*rd on camera with a Dutch tv crew after the Swan's win Saturday. He apparently tweeted some things too.

Just finished watching the Juve vs Dortmund off of the DVR while eating dinner. Glad to see Reus & Gundogan back. Klopp really has to solve his team's defensive problems. They way Juve scored their goals on Dortmund's defense was inexcusable. I see Juve going through this round.

Thierry Henry Do you genuinely believe Arsenal are better than Atletico?


That's like saying Leicester are better than...well, anyone tbh

2022 World Cup in Qatar will be played in November and December. Final would be on December 23rd.

 

[nomadicsole21]

Jesus christ, just finished watching the replay of Man City v. Barca and almost had a heart attack when Zabaleta gave away the pen to Messi. Thanks for the link again meyer lansky , repped your OG post.
But Dzeko buns when hes not playing teams from the bottom half of the table. Dude lacks the technicality to play against Barca. If Navas isn't whipping it in all game, there really is no use for Dzeko, he can't create for himself, lacks pace, and even for set pieces, Bony would be the better option.

We really miss Yaya in the middle, Fernandinho needs to be starting next to him at Barca too. Great match from Barca, I expected nothing less from them. Hopefully the 2nd leg will be as exciting as today!

 

[imasoleman18]

If Dzeko doesn't start in the second leg, citeh can beat barca at the camp nou

stop man

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Ronaldo would have scored that header.

Then again he wouldn't have missed the pk.

Uh no...

It was good to see the remnants of tiki taka today. The 22 passes leading up to the 2nd goal from Hannibal was beautiful. In that instance, Barca played City like a fiddle forcing them to do whatever Barca wanted them to do.

I will say unlike like other strikers the Blaugrana have brought in (Ibra, Villa), Hannibal is doing all the little things that are helping to the team to win games. There is no hint of sulking (because of the lack of scoring opportunities) or anything. Hannibal's been putting on a master class on moving off the ball & passing all campaign. I just hope he can keep his anger in check &his chompers to himself.

Not trying to start the ronaldo messi debate but come on man. When it comes to pks ronaldo wins that category easily.

That stat you posted is like saying michael jordan has missed more shots than Tracy mcgrady.

His conversion rate is aprx 93%.

Ronaldo > mess for pks hands down.

 

[meyer lansky]

You're very welcome, my brotha. When I first found out about the site, I thought it was too good to be true (was expecting stream quality with 1 sq. inch pixels or something).

Again, was very disappointed in die Schwarzgelben today. Hopefully they win in resounding fashion against la Vecchia Signora in leg 2 (apologies for pulling a psk and going with nicknames 

)

Messi has now missed 5 of his last 10 penalties in all competitions for club and country including 4 of his last 7 for Barcelona. #MCFCB

Um, Yeaaa


whomp, whomp...

 

[champcruthik]

As a former defender, the lack of organization in the back four I'm seeing from Dortmund, City, Barca, etc. is highly troubling. Klopp will depart Signal Iduna Park after years of selling quality players to German rivals. Pellegrini will be sacked as impatience grows with Man City's lack of European success. Enrique is not the most well-liked Barca manager to say the least.

I get Pellegrini was implored to give Dzeko the start after City ran riot on Newcastle over the weekend, but Bony would have been the bold and correct selection in the starting XI. Dzeko does not pair well with Kun and his goal-scoring record in Champions League is less than impressive.

 

[Coupé It]

Some British Portchop got into it with Neymar when the game ended yesterday, cursing at him in Portuguese and calling him a diver. Neymar didn't respond very kindly.

[jking0821]

Only got to catch the second part of the second half of the Barca match. DVRed it though will re watch it later tonight hopefully.
Suarez has always been a hard worker and i hate him as a person but dude is an exceptional footballer. He is constantly moving.

My friend put $60 on a 3-1 barca win....if it would have happened he would have won $1,028. Messi
My emotions were wow he really is going to win that money now....wow great save...but he will burry the header its right at him and Hart isn't even in the goal...oooopppss guess not

 

[tomdiginson]

Neymar should've smacked him.

Posting the tweet was mostly in jest hence the "" & "" emoticons.

Some more anti LvG flag waving... AS Sport is reporting DdG has a very frosty relationship with LvG. So much so they haven't spoken in months.

Interesting. Never thought this is gonna happen. Great opportunity for MLS.

We're all, players and fans alike, going to be forced to feel ashamed of ourselves in 2022.

What...where was that bet placed? Those seem like amazing odds for a fairly ordinary result.

^ Of all the awful shirt sponsors, I always liked the 2009 Getafe Burger King sponsor. The goal celebrations were hilarious...
