It's like he keeps the ball glued to his feet, kinda like Messi. He has a great touch imo.


Edit: Aaaand it's over.

It's more the 'by European standards' part.

I feel dirty but... get in Lampard.

 

[Metalmurphy]

He's just used to do shit like that on the Portuguese league and not get called for it.

 

[GQman2121]

Easy call. Solid take by Lamps. Bring it Barca.

 

[xintin]

penalty. didnt even try for the ball

 

[SunhiLegend]

1-0 Lampard (p)

 

[Metalmurphy]

All you people saying "Bye Benfica" realize this means nothing right? They already needed 2 goals.

 

[Frank the Great]

that defender is a fucking idiot, made that so obvious

 

[GQman2121]

All you people saying "Bye Benfica" realize this means nothing right? They already needed 2 goals.

Absolutely not saying it's over, over. We did concede two goals last weekend in 3 minutes. But Benfica, though they've started better this game, have shown very little.

 

[rififi]

Judging by that gif, that Benfica defender looks like he could lose a few pounds, no wonder Cole went down so easily.

 

[Facism]

All you people saying "Bye Benfica" realize this means nothing right? They already needed 2 goals.

BUT HOW CAN THEY GET EXTRA TIME NOW :< :<

 

[Madridy]

Ronaldo
1-0

 

[Yen]

He's card happy.

 

[HotHamWater]

Oh now I remember why ITV's stream sucks dick. It refreshes itself after 30 minutes to force you to watch an ad.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Torres needs a goal tonight to really kick on I feel if he finishes this season strongly he will be a threat next season

 

[CrunchyB]

All you people saying "Bye Benfica" realize this means nothing right? They already needed 2 goals.

That's sort of true, a single goal would have meant penalties. Of course we've still got 70 minutes to go. If anything, I'm for Benfica, but I'm having a hard time seeing it happen.

Also, Benfica's defence is second rate and they already collected a ton of yellow cards. Not good.

 

[SunhiLegend]

1-0 Ronaldo

 

[Metalmurphy]

He's card happy.

I love a ref that doesn't take shit from players. It always pisses me off all the complaining to the refs. I mean...has any ref in the history of football ever changed his mind? Ever? Common... don't be stupid.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Luiz, what was he doing lol?

Benfica moaning about anything and everything.

Great set piece there by Benfica though, wonderfully worked

 

[-bakalhau-]

1-0 Ronaldo

Thanks for that one.

And so close

 

[Hixx]

Nicely worked freekick, very clever, probably deserved a goal.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Better than that daft united one on Monday

 

[Madridy]

Holy fuck Kaka!!!
2-0

 

[-bakalhau-]

Great goal from Kaka!

 

[JWong]

Double Yellow? lol

 

[PrematureQuiche]

Now it has to be a easy win for Chelsea

 

[MYE]

Red?

wtf?

 

[Vivalaraza]

Benfica's players make a lot of stupid decisions. Ridiculous indiscipline.

Two totally needless bookings, and he's captain :lol

He should have actually just passed the ball, over ran it made a stupid challenge and he's off.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Now it's over.


Nicely done ref.

 

[xintin]

wowww just shows talking can cost you

 

[MMaRsu]

Oh well no point in watching Chelsea now.

 

[Arsenal2022]

The ref's shrug to the Benfica player was intriguing. Probably felt that it wasn't worth sending him off for, but realised too late.

 

[Yen]

This game is now dead.

 

[kfpkiller]

What a shitty ref.
Soft penalty and undeserved red card.
Cheslselona indeed.

 

[-bakalhau-]

But Maxi had no yellow card yet? How was it a double yellow? Was it a direct red? Wtf?

It seems like a straight red... A bit too harsh?

 

[Vivalaraza]

No, I think he was saying, "what do you want me to do?".

That tackle was a certain yellow and the booking before was for continuous moaning. Nothing wrong with the decision.

 

[xintin]

But Maxi had no yellow card yet? How was it a double yellow? Was it a direct red? Wtf?

yellow earlier for dissent

 

[Oxx]

Quarter-finals going out with a whimper.

Bring on the semis.

 

[Arsenal2022]

But Maxi had no yellow card yet? How was it a double yellow? Was it a direct red? Wtf?

Picked one up for dissent when the penalty was given.

True, but there is a difference between a yellow card offence and sending someone off for two yellows when one was for moaning. The way that he didnt have the red card ready and had to fish it out of his pocket made it look like he wasn't intending to dismiss him.

 

[Yen]

He got a yellow for dissent and another for that tackle. Soft.

Apparently it was a direct red

LOOL

 

[-bakalhau-]

Oh okay.


Edit: The Portuguese commentators say the Benfica staff were discussing and it was a straight red, and Maxi had no yellow yet. I'm confused as we didn't see him get a yellow on TV here...

 

[Kyoufu]

Can't believe Chelsea are going into the Semi final... lol

 

[SunhiLegend]

2-0 kaka. Awesome goal, too bad my stream glitched, looks so good live.

 

[Sealda]

Aaaand once again the ref ruins a cl match

 

[Meier]

Well, any hope Benfica had is over with now being a man down.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

What th fuck are you guys talking about? Two of the mat obvious cards you'll see there was no decision to b made

Do people really think the ref should ignore the rules for our entertainment?

 

[Metalmurphy]

What a shitty ref.
Soft penalty and undeserved red card.
Cheslselona indeed.

Are you serious? haha


Acording to UEFA Maxi got the first card at minute 20. So that was a second yellow. And the penalty is as clear as day.

 

[JWong]

Booking everyone lol.

 

[CrunchyB]

No, I think he was saying, "what do you want me to do?".

Yes, this.

 

[xintin]

everyone quiet before the ref books the thread!
