Real played a better game than Barca, of course my nig Ramos made the mistake with that little touch that made Neymar dive which conceded a penalty and red card. Barca is basically just back in the running now for La Liga but I still think Madrid will win.
Btw, Di Maria for player of the match…da effing man.
I’m pulling for Atletico to win the league. Great team, with some exciting players emerging, Koke is going to become a big star, and Oliver Torres is going to be a generation-defining player for Spain on the order of Xavi IMO.
Real doesnt need him…we have Ronaldo, Benzema, and Di Maria striking just fine. Although, Suarez is more consistent than Benzema and could be a replacement if they let him go.
Any other time i would have said he would’ve left.
But when you look at Liverpool as a whole now, their owners aren’t your typical American fucktards. They know what they’re doing and they understand the best way to raise the value of a sporting institution is to win. To win you can be smart, invest wisely, use metrics etc but a point comes where you have to put your money where your mouth is. They get that. The way John Henry told Arsenal to fuck off shows that, they’ve given him a contract worth 200 k a week so financially they can keep him.
Suarez wants to win, that’s it so i don’t think he’ll agitate for a move as long as Liverpool can match his ambition. They’re doing that this season, they have the brightest young manager in the game, they have a young team so i would say the signs are positive. In fact i would even say that perhaps the Liverpool of old which people keep telling us about just might be back.
Refreshing change, Can’t stand Chelsea and City and the way they’ve ‘won’. Sport has to be more than money and football’s the last hold out.
Kagawa not in the team, Mata out wide. Cleverley and Fellaini playing. Moyes can pack the midfield as much as he wants but Yaya will find a way through, Kompany will have Rooney in his pocket as well.
I suppose it depends if the presidency is up for election and if they need a big signing for pr.
I rate Benzema but I think Suarez would be an improvement.
Bale’s been looking decent recently in la liga and the champions league but he was pedestrian in el clasico on sunday , the occasion totally passed him by.
Man U lol. Bring back Ferg Turd. I hated the guy but to me he is/was the best manager/coach of any sports team ever!!!
They might not have beat all the top competition through the years, but when they were playing a lesser side they almost always got the result. That is rare. Especially in a sport like soccer.
