GWT: Champions League Quarterfinals

[Evilo]

Benfica should have scored again.
Bayern is really lucky in this game so far.

 

[Evilo]

Alaba is sucking again BTW.

Yeah I play football and get fouled worse than that without leaving my feet on a weekly basis. Busquets doing Busquets things. That's all it was, and even though Torres was being wreckless it was deserving of a warning not a red, but it is what it is. Busquets should also be a on a red, but eh.

...and yes, that's a 'faint brush of legs', Torres barely touched him, though you wouldn't be able to tell the way Sergio jumps to the ground afterwards.

If you can watch that and tell me it was a egregious foul and not a blatant dive and attempt to receive contact from Torres by Busquets I'll drop it. Look how quickly Busquets is down and writing in pain from that faint brush of legs.

You'd think he'd stop getting calls because of his reputation for doing this all-the-time, but we all know that won't happen...

Yea Busquets overacts a little, but that's a pretty blatant yellow. He crashed into the back of his leg for absolutely no reason at all.

 

[Epictetus]

Been impressed with Saul every time I see him play. Looks like a fantastic player. He's just everywhere on the pitch.

 

[maclean]

Haha, I was just about to say, if they can't score here they really don't deserve to advance

 

[hatterson]

And there it is.

If Atletico can hold onto this they'll still be pretty happy with a draw score and an away goal.

 

[Evilo]

Torres might actually have cost his team the tie here.
Too bad MATS saved that Griez goal in the first half.

 

[maclean]

Torres might actually have cost his team the tie here.

Don't forget he also did a great job on their goal though. At this point he's even at worst

 

[Evilo]

Sure, but I believe Atletico could have had a result without him vs getting a result at 10 vs 11.

 

[hatterson]

Suarez gonna Suarez

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Suarez!!

 

[Power Man]

Luis ALPHArez

 

[Pouchkine]

That's it Torres with some legendary dumb stuff cost his team the tie.

 

[Cassano]

Best player in the world?

 

[Evilo]

Yup, well done Torres ....

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Best player in the world?

Lol

Again taking off greizmann? Dumb simeone

 

[YNWA14]

Yes Torres' aggressiveness probably hurt Atletico more than his goal helped them.

Suarez with the timely goals, even though he was pretty invisible up to his first one. Still love that guy too.

 

[Power Man]

Omg tried to watch beisbol during halftime.... They didn't hit the ball for 15 minutes and they took 5 minutes to look at a replay

Lol "sport"

 

[Pouchkine]

Referee with some love for Atletico now...

 

[Pouchkine]

@Curtinho : stupidly fouling players on the halfway line is not agressiveness it's stupid play and when you're already on a yellow it's completely idiotic.

 

[YNWA14]

Well since it's an away goal if Atletico can keep it within one goal it could still go down as being a boon if they can win 1-0 at home or something, though that is unlikely I think against Barcelona.

 

[Pouchkine]

And he did it before the second yellow as well, when the referee played an advantage and "gave him a chance."

 

[Pouchkine]

All 4 ties will be done this week, this round Europa games will be more tight and fun to follow.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Amazing. So when a team plays Barca, they can hack everywhere on the pitch, it's UEFA's fault if the ref gives cards...

EDIT : And I pull for Atletico there !

Agreed. People need to stop with the UEFAlona and biased referee stuff, pretty embarrassing.
