Never said it was.
Just comparing that to the PL, refs tend to let some challenges fly. Players have to adapt to that in the CL.

Wait, weren't you just deriding Madrid for being cheats after the Nani red card? Your flip-flopping boggles my mind.

I think the referee was right to keep Suarez on the pitch if he was unsure as to the contact made. Would have had no complaints if he'd been banned for 3 games though, for me the ball was almost an afterthought. Thankfully Suarez has *almost* eliminated the dangerous play from his game, but that was a dangerous act.
I think its worth throwing a distinction in here
Often a player will absolutely and unexpectedly throw himself in the way, and get a kick for his troubles. For me, that is fine. Perhaps a booking if the foot is high and dangerous.
But as I've said, Nani is using a genuinely dangerous technique (studs, not laces) in an area of expected traffic, and with zero awareness of the players around him at the time he starts his action
elsk approves of this
It's just Kyoufu. Everything he says is either sarcasm or wrong
<3 that cunt
Yeah, its amusing to see such hatred from fans of insignificant European teams like Deportivo La Coruna, Newcastle and Liverpool

Congrats! Really hope you get a good draw and make a real go of it.
Probably because he realised he was a shit manager.

What a goal. Modric already worth the price we paid.
That's just the way of things.
I'd rather be in your fucking position (ooer) and dealing with that noise. At least your team has chances of winning major trophies in your lifetime.

4 games left, 3 points back of Zambia having lost to them away. Not terrible but still concerning. Can't drop any more points if they want to advance.
I'm sorry. I just enjoy Man Utd defeats even more than Liverpool defeats.
Feels great man.
I agree with him.

Hey, Liverpool and Depor (to a lesser extent) were at least significant in the slightly recent past
What are you talking about? He won the championship!
True. It'll all blow over and when we at worst win the PL at the end of the year it'll be a good season.

It's not really lucky though?
He aims to shoot so the keeper can't save it and gets it perfect. Have to hold your hands up and give him the kudos.
Dunno Hitcher...a dangling leg with studs out there...it hurts alot less than somebody taking a full swing trying to ram a ball into the back of the net. Alot less.
lol You guys would love that.
What a goal. Modric already worth the price we paid.
That really was an outstanding goal.
Did you just copy and paste that from redcafe?
We'll still be called a weak team by people. Probably because we're not winning the league playing like Barca

I guess the only thing I can take solace in after that match is the unemployment in my country isn't as bad as theirs. Enjoy your champions league run, I'll continue to enjoy my stable career.
On a serious note, the match was great up until the red card. It denied both sides the climactic finish that was building. I can see where the ref felt it was a red but still, in those "feel" situations in a match like that, don't give the straight fucking red. Yellow all day every day.

Congratulations to Dortmund by the way! Madrid, Dortmund, Juventus. The holy trinity. One of you please <3
Yeah, we're probably coming off as massive cunts. Even to be in the position we're in is great. We've been fucking brilliant all season. So far ahead in the league. Into the latter stages of the cup. Wrapping up qualification from our group so quickly and then coming so close to going through.
Apologies if I come across as having no perspective :/
The day Man United win the title in the same year Newcastle and Liverpool get relegated will be so glorious

Think the 2nd one was even better.
Remember Shelvey's red card against them? No where near as bad as Nani's flying kung fu kick.
If it isn't Arsenal, I agree. I hope they beat Bayern in the final.

2 goals within 12 minutes of the red card though? United wilted like Liverpool in their near perfect away performance.

Can easily break a rib or two when you run head-on into one though
From anecdotal memories, you get a lot more significant injuries when studs make contact than you do with laces as well
You gotta admit. That goal by Modric is something else.
damn

Huh? His foot is flat to contol the ball as he goes in. All lace.
Second was good but that strike from Modric is as good as you're gonna get.
Yep.
In order of the teams likely to go through
1. Madrid
2. Dortmund
3. Juventus
Don't want Barca, Arsenal, Bayern, PSG or Milan to win. Celtic would be hilarious. Porto and Malaga would be nice. Couldn't give a fuck about Valencia, Gala or Schalke
Oh he definitely did what he intended to do, but if it was just 1 inch further to the right, it probably doesn't take the same angle after deflecting off the post. I think fortuitous is a good descriptor. Amazing how such a small margin can have such a big repercussion. We see it every game (Guzan had two fingertip saves that caused balls to hit the post instead of go in yesterday) but it's always impressive.
United have a great team and anyone saying otherwise is silly. Their form was a bit wobbly early on while ours was but they've been just about perfect for a few months now. Last minute winners are still winners and that's really all that matters. Even their defense and goalkeeping have been fantastic lately after some rough patches early on. It's no surprise they have so many points in the league. We knew that RVP could possibly be the difference and he proved it, but they've got guys who've scored in bunches in addition to him.
I dont understand these fools too.
FUCK YES quarter final bitches! Dortmund one of the best eight teams in Europe. Damn that just sounds too good.
It was a well deserved victory today. Maybe the result was a bit too high. Donezk had quite a few very good chances in the second half and had to score at least one goal. But apart from the first 10, 15 minutes after the break, our defense looked much better than I expected. Compared to the last matches, Santana played soo much better today. And he scored that super-important goal. Otherwise, no one really stood out. It was simply a good performance by the whole team.
I'm more than happy. Now we can sit back and relax and watch our potential opponents facing each other. And, of course, listen to lots of great BVB music, as always after great victories.
Bohey bohey Borussia, geh nie vorbei... :')

Honestly it's pretty pathetic Froggie hasn't spoken to the media. Surely he's professional enough to come and give his point of view to the fans.

Not really
Btw, Cleverley's closing down left a lot to be desired for Modric's goal. Invited Modric to take it past him, closer to the goal and on his right foot
He's proven time and time again he's a bitter man to the media :lol
We'll get something midweek I suppose.

Yeah, it was a fantastic strike. Probably broke United's will actually. No wonder Madrid scored again so soon afterwards. Just like with Hulk's goal against Liverpool.

Roy Keane deserves to have his dick cut off and have it be fed to wild animals (and Pepe). What a terrible human. Also his gray on the chin beard reminds me of Mel Gibson.
