BF2S Forums Ah Barcelona, what have you done to yourselves?

Of course Ronaldo isn't the best player in the world.  Since when did taking dives and acting hurt even qualify you for that?  Ronaldo, IMHO, is a BIG example of why Footy can't catch on in America.  Taking dives, crying every time you touch the grass, and getting bs calls like above from the refs because of acting. 

Note...  I love me some footy, so I'm not one of the Americans who hate it.  I just see why some do.

I will not for one minute deny that Barcelona are fucked. However much of a fan I am of Barca, I cannot steer clear of facts.

Why do you think they are fucked?

A. They just lost to Deportivo 2-0
B. They have no team spirit anymore.
C. Thierry Henry has created an annoyance in the team with all his moaning.
D. Eto'o  is not on form yet.
E. Neither is Messi.
F. Milito is very rough around the edges, meaning one mistake from him, and it's likely a goal.
G. They are away.
H. Manchester have been playing surpsingly well.
I. Barcelona are just not the team they were 2 years ago.

If man U are as shocking as their last two matches? then Barca if they play like they did in the first leg will win without a shadow of doubt.. If Man U play with a bit o ball's and aren't shaky as fuck and concede a goal then I fancy them to go through on Pens..

lulzzz

I have never heard so much bullshit come out of a single mouth.

If there is ONE thing that Messi is better than Ronaldo is, it's dribbling. Nobody can beat Messi at dribling.

If Barcelona are going to get back in this match, Deco and Messi need to have a bit more luck in their finishing. Excellent performance from both of those other than that.

And some great runs by Iniesta. Their finishing just gets blocked off by the 4 defenders running at them at the same time.

As I said. Oh man, that was so painful to watch.

HOLY SHIT!

Svens defending tactics work, with Premiership teams and not the national team Barca were all over us for the last 20mins, but jesus, Utd's defenders are the heroes here. Hell, Tevez caused havok for them intercepting and tackling them.


ALL ENGLISH FINAL Hopefully, Utd and 'Pool....that would be epic!!

If that was the same Barcelona of 06, they would have demolished united....united weren't great...both teams were shit at retaining the ball.

fuckin

BOOOOOOO YEAH.

Great performances from Evra, Park, Deco, Toure and Brown. Messi was threatening as ever, but he seemed a bit off tonight, Iniesta played well, but didn't create the chances Barca needed, it's a shame Toure got booked, he was having a great game aswell. Of course, it's always nice to see Scholes scoring. Tense match.

You kidding? Messi was the best player on the park by a complete mile. Creating danger everywhere and destroying Evra and Brown ( although I admit, they played very well ). Deco was good. Eto'o was shit. Bojan had a great control on that cross, too bad he couldn't finish.

After 2 games in a row, I can safely say Ronaldo is not the best player in the world. He cannot appear when he is most needed. He only pops up when he doesn't have a strong defender watching him. Messi can do it against anyone, anywhere.
