KavazovAngel: I usually never get angry about losing... but this tonight crossed the line. Fifth match in a row that we play 10 vs 11 against Barcelona.
Congrats to you guys for winning... but seriously... the whole game was a joke. The referee made a terrible mistake by sending off Pepe for "tackling" on the faker Alves.
He tried to compensate by giving Real easy fauls after it, but when you blow up a balloon, the glue won't bring it back to where it was before being blown up.
Um, hi, first time posting, but... too much of a Barça lover to let that go unanswered.
First off, "the whole game was a joke"? I was suffering through the first half because the referee wouldn't signal any foul -_- this last three games I spend the whole game time suffering for the harsh ways of this Real Madrid and wishing they don't hurt anyone seriously instead of enjoying it.
Madrid wasn't even "playing", just keeping themselves behind and waiting for the Barça to make a mistake or simply attack them to retrieve the ball. Literally. Even the fans of Real Madrid in the field said that. Didn't you realize they were silent and the most heard were the 3,000 Barça fans? They were silent because they didn't like this new style of playing Mourinho is forcing on them, even Ronaldo said it.
"Terrible mistake"? wow. Just wow. I'd like to see you get 'tackled' like that, see if it hurts. Even the Madrid press said it was really harsh. He shouldn't even be allowed to play after the things he has done. And... Faker? I doubt ANY Barça player can be called that. If they get hurt, they get up as fast as posible and keep playing. The only time they complain about something is if it has been batalantly clear, and if you watch 'the faker Alves getting tackled by Pepe' again, you'll probably see how Pepe didn't even touch the ball and instead kicked his leg. Alves even did a spin mid-air because of the force of the kick.
I agree, the second part and just after the yellow card for Ramos the referee started to act as one and do his job.
And I feel bad about Pinto. Villa and him are usually the less calm of the group, but everyone has their limits, and I'm sure good ol' Guardiola talked to him about it same as he did with Villa the last time.
That said, I've always hated football until I saw Josep Guardiola's Barça play. They have honor and actually PLAY football -and amazingly so, not like some other teams that usually just kick players instead of the ball. Madrid used to be a honorable, fearsome rival. Not for the aggressive style, but because they were good and had players that actually 'felt their colors', and that can't be won with a team made with money.
