haaa haaa haaaaa

i seriously doubt it. but eh! maybe he gets some injections.

it was an interesting game in that valencia hoarded the ball (they had over 60% possession) but couldn't get through the psg defense. and psg scored twice. and a third time that was disallowed but shouldn't have been (wasn't really offside).

only in overtime did valencia score, and then zlatan was caught with his cleats up (it wasn't really a foul) and given a red card. oww!! veratti was the real idiot though got a yellow card on purpose, the stupid fucker. lemme see if i can find you a video of that // sorry couldn't. but see if you can watch the game.

tomorrow-- HOLY ASS!! i think i'll watch man u/madrid first and watch dortmund on replay.

Well cos I'm a pov till payday I'm having to listen to the game via a radio. Half as bloody good compared to watching.

Saying that is seems like it's been a pacing start.

oh yeah-- you should have seen that!

srsly nice match. i hope you catch it on replay.

demonrail666 · 02.13.2013, 04:53 PM

Good match, especially the first half. The second half felt a bit like a stalemate, but no less fascinating for it. Wellbeck was fantastic.

!@#$%! · 02.13.2013, 05:12 PM

i did space out a bit on the 2nd half but modric brought back the fun

demonrail666 · 02.13.2013, 05:25 PM

The 2nd leg at Old Trafford will be tense as fuck.

Wait, I thought when Sir Paul McCartney wasn't risking his life making love to his dangerously younger "wife" he was playing in a shit band with Dave and Krist, now I find out he is moonlighting as a Euro Futbol player? No wonder they knighted him

demonrail666 · 02.13.2013, 05:47 PM

Wow. Jealous. From what I saw on TV, the atmosphere looked amazing.

lack of a deep bench i think. their first lineup is awesome but that's where it ends.

gundogan has been out for a while on injuries and dortmund hasn't won a game without him. last weekend they got clobbered 4-1 by hamburg.

anyway if you watch yesterday's game you'll notice dortmund was quick but sloppy on the attack. every attack seemed to come from the right and little from the left wing and practically nothing from the center.

gundogan is usually in the midfield as a playmaker distributing balls all over but this time it looked like gotze was on that role--but the role doesn't suit him so much, he plays better in a more forward position. i mean the role would fall to kehl/bender or another midfielder but they don't have the creativity. and sahin who gundogan first replaced (and who recently returned) is apparently in bad shape.

same thing with an injured subotic-- felipe santana who covered for him is a huge minus vs what subotic contributes. subotic is not only a solid defender but also deadly on corners, and luckily hummels was able to score with a header but it was him alone instead of two players.

lastly, weidenfeller had a shit day and you could see him flailing in dangerous situations (will see if i can fing highlights online). and while he's a massive guy often able to break through any pile of attackers, and great at aerial contest, at 32 or due to weight or whatever, he lacks the quickness of someone like neuer who is a fucking lightning bolt. so you shoot him a fast ground ball and you can almost hear him go "hhhhmmmmmmpppppfffffff!" as he reaches down.

i love dortmund and they controlled the game yesterday but made some stupid errors and wasted teh chance to take home a win. it could have almost ended like the liverpool/west brom match the other day. very frustrating.

h8kurdt · 02.14.2013, 02:44 PM

Hmm interesting. It's a annoying that I have a piece of shit computer than can barely run videos so I can't watch full la liga and Bundesliga games to analyse games more. Highlights really don't let you do that.

I was certain they were gonna be a likelyhood at getting the champions league.

demonrail666 · 02.14.2013, 03:17 PM

!@#$%! · 02.14.2013, 03:24 PM

they are 15 points behind munich in the bundesliga. granted, everyone else is behind them too. but i am more confident in bayern for the CL title (barring a major fuckup). bayern has beefed up its defense with dante and javi martinez, has more options on the attack (mueller+mandzukic or robben+gomez), and is on a roll.

anyway it occurred to me a perfect contrast for weidenfeller is de gea-- de gea lacks the mass to break through in the air sometimes (and you saw that yesterday), but his speed+agility saves vs. real madrid? weidenfeller couldn't do that.

Is there a Bunda-liga in Brazil?

demonrail666 · 02.15.2013, 05:15 AM

It was always gonna be difficult against Juve but yeah, what a first game! I only hope it doesn't give your cousin false expectations for any other game he sees. Even losing to Juve is bound to be a far cry from a wet Saturday afternoon watching Celtic scrape past St Johnson.

Ah, it shows up at home but now I'm at work using a different server you're right, it's blank.

Anyway, it was the graph from this page:

Like everyone, I've been quite critical of De Gea since he joined Man U but I thought he was brilliant against Real. Probably the best I've ever seen him.
