La Liga 2018-19

[Scandale du Jour]

Barcelona vs Real Madrid
Valencia vs Betis

Nice CDR semis tbh

We are going to lose by 5 or something.

 

[Savi]

Going to be a pretty grueling February. Valencia on Saturday, then Madrid for the Copa, and away at Bilbao next weekend. Valladolid at home in between and after that we're at Lyon (CL), at Sevilla (Liga), at Madrid (Copa) and 3 days after that Madrid again (Liga).

 

[Cassano]

Nice in the sense that I'll be witnessing a Lo Celso vs Messi final. Yeah, very nice.

Revenge for the Pool game those two allegedly fought over.

 

[Evilo]

I'm in Sevilla right now and they're all mocking Atletico

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Wow Messi, wasn't expecting that at all. Stunning goal

Alena was great today, Barcelona's have two gems coming up in him and Puig.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Tuned in just at half what a goal messi

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

How long until Alena is getting Spain callups?

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

How long until Alena is getting Spain callups?

No where near yet. I'm still not convinced his future is in Barca.

 

[Cassano]

Santi with a goal and assist. It was a mistake letting him go this year. He would be our best player.

 

[Savi]

Atleti lose at Betis.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Atleti lose at Betis.

Not surprised actually betted on it. Even more impressive was Lo celso on the bench and Simeone still taken to school.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

What a play by Vinicius and Reguilon. Easy tap in for Benzema.

 

[Corto]

I'm baffled by these Spanish refs getting so many narrow offside calls wrong. If it's close, let them play, and use VAR to call it back if offside.

There was a play in the Madrid-Alaves game that had Benzema and Bale both through on goal on a 2-v-0 and it was called offside.
Which it wasn't. Why not just let it go and use VAR ffs...?

And that's just an example.
VAR in the WC (mostly) worked. (obligatory f**k Pitana)
VAR in Bundesliga and Serie A mostly works, for example.
VAR in La Liga is complete chaos.

VAR in La Liga is not complete chaos. What you're asking for isn't a bad idea, but that doesn't mean VAR has been bad and what you're asking for is more about application than execution. It certainly hasn't had an impact on the title race.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I hate for him to miss out on a Classico but Messi should sit this out one out. Come off the bench later in the game if Barca is losing or in need of a goal

 

[maclean]

Dammit, was really hoping to watch this game, but it's not on any of the channels available here. This most recent crack-down on streams really pisses me off. I have satellite and pay for the best sports package available, but sometimes there's just no legal way to watch a game in a given market. The whole rights industry can go to hell

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Camp nou roaring love it.

Messi comes on and Madrid counters with casemiro p***yes

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Casemiro handball I absolutely despise how this player made his career through invisibility.

 

[Cassano]

Bale is trash

 

[Savi]

This game lacked the quality and intensity of a Liga clasico. End product of both teams just wasn't very good today.

Malcom with a strong showing though. Nice finish on the goal as well.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

1-1 on the road, I'll take it.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Kinda wondering how Modric/Vazquez escaped getting carded in this one, lost count how many times Modric fouled Arthur.

Semedo was great, hopefully we'll see Dembele in the next leg.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Bale is trash

He was always trash... Guy has had the luckiest career next to ZZ.

I'd say it heavily lacked quality but not intensity. At least not for me or the fans at the Camp Nou.

The game died when Messi came on tbh. He was awful. Should've stayed on the bench.

1-1 on the road, I'll take it.

No matter manita away is even better

 

[Power Man]

1-1 on the road, I'll take it.

Still not a good result tbh

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Still not a good result tbh

Did not see the match. Maybe we should have done better.

However, 1-1 at Camp Nou is a good result. We have the return leg at home. We can do this.
