If I could have any striker in the world on my team, I'd pick him.

How on earth was the Benfica/Olympiakos game not abandoned? Absolutely shocking conditions!

Surprised that the club is denying it and basically calling Yaya a liar. I can't think of any reason why he'd make this up.

It's Russia, they don't need a reason.

Re: 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League Thread

have Musa and Doumbia said anything about the racist chants towards Toure? It's not really racism it's just idiots and mob mentality thinking they are supporting "they're" team.

IMO of course.

and then we see the same generalizing mentality that spawns racism about 'those people' 'over there'

edit:
"Their forward Seydou Doumbia even claimed that his Ivory Coast teammate was "clearly exaggerating" over the abuse."

it's just fanatics being fanatics. it's okay to direct chants towards an opposing player as long as it's got nothing to do with skin color. of course, UEFA gets to 'stamp out racism' or whatever so they look good

Fanatics being fantatics doesn't cut it as an excuse if anything remotely relating to race is being used to taunt a player.

Plus, Doumbia is claiming that he never said what the official website is claiming he said.

Okay, now we're seeing what Ronaldo and Bale can do together. Scary.

Garbage defending from Real Madrid.

Re: 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League Thread

Look at this crap:




Ashley Young dives like a shameful bitch and Manchester United is handed a penalty. RVP misses.

Justice. Is. Served.

[tripwire]

Re: 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League Thread

Young should be embarrassed.

Pathetic.

Re: 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League Thread

Very strange results tonight ... and the group of the Real begins to be interesting! I never thought that Copenhagen could point to the qualification.

Re: 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League Thread

I mean, if Young is on the pitch, he's probably diving.

One of the worst offenders I've ever seen.

Re: 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League Thread

I wish Young's dives were funny. At least everyone would have something to laugh about.

Looks like Eto'o is on a mission to score a lot of cheesy goals this year.
