FC Barcelona - Inter Milano CL Semi Final 2nd Leg

Oh I see...

No, that was not an acronym.

That was pure testosterone manifesting itself via the medium of qwerty language.

How are you today? Looking forward to tomorrow?

How did you get into Barça anyways?

I have a friend who loves the EPL, Man U in particular, and we go to happy hour together a lot. As we are both frequent customers, the bar puts on soccer for us (didn't notice where you are from , but it's only on TV as a courtesy to regulars here).
So I watched random games without sound for nearly a year, and Barça always drew my attention. SO fast paced, so...pretty doesn't cover it...the teamwork...even without knowing jack sh%2 it is wonderful...
Then I read a few articles and listened to press conferences and the way they TALK about the game and each other...
The first thing I ever read was Messi saying that he doesn't just want to score, he wants the perfect goal. I fell in love, I guess.
Now some days I just wish he'd take a shot on goal already

You speak like a true culé.

Thanks for the compliment! Especially from (can it be true?) an English-speaking Frenchman! Or are you an ex-pat? I'm just guessing because of "Londres"
There's one more thing that everyone here probably knows but it's so hard to explain to anyone else: When Barça players score, they celebrate with joy. They are the consummate great sportsmen, celebrating without any negativity. I love that: it makes me proud to be a fan. Winners with class, and (hopefully extremely rarely) losers with dignity. Wednesday I was so proud of everyone but the Biscuit; even when V V went after the dirtbag he retained his dignity.

Londres is also the word for London in Castellano, friend

Only I would fall in love with a team that plays a sport whose rules I don't know in a language I don't speak Thanks for the tip!

I watched highlights of the game (although it hurt me a lot) and I was just amazed by replies. First of all by the attempt of Messi it was so precise - in the bottom left corner and Cesar touched it only with tips of his fingers. And I watched the goal of Pique for 20 times maybe never seen something like this before, amazing goal.

Now why do you think that is, you insignificant little piece of Sh*t.

Piss off.

[pabz]

Yeah but failed to ban he's ip. Piss off.

[Magus]

And now... to top everything off:



We should really do something about this!

That was daylight robbery. Ball never touched Yaya's hand. Even if it did it would of been ball to hand and not handball. Both legs were fixed. They did not want Barca at Madrid.

Could you imagine the headlines of papers if ref didn't take that goal from us: "Bojan sends Mourinho and his bus where they came from", "Bojan's last minute strike leaves Inter in tears", "Is Bojan better than Rooney?", "Bojan to replace Villa at Spain's national team?" and other crazy headlines, but this won't happen, because one ref can't tell the difference between stomach and hand

[Magus]

My advice to Laporta is this: if you want to go out with a bang, then do something about this double legged match! We're not going into the final, ok, but that doesn't mean that we can get robbed everytime platini or whoever from uefa wants to. Seeing how much we were robbed in these 2 matches and that nobody is doing anything about, the refs aren't apologizing, uefa isn't also, gives me the impression that we'll reach a CL final whenever they want us to, no matter how well we're playing! Do we have to score 10 times to win with 1-0? How many times do we have to be fouled in the box so a penalty should be given? How many legs do we have to break so our opponents can receive a yellow?
Laporta, do something now! Don't make us look like obedient bastards!

[conorcasey]

Platini and his gang are stubborn, they won't change a thing even if you threaten them with a nuclear bomb

[bobo]

We didn't deserve to be in the final. Complaining about the ref is silly.
