Did you guys see Pedro's goal? Insane precision from Messi there :shocked:

But then again, his penalty was one of the silliest i've seen in a long time :p
He also missed an open goal.

Alves, by thd way of nothing in particular, is possibly the most repulsive player around after that Inter player.

:lol:

Thats even sillier than saying Zlatan chokes against the big teams


This choking argument needs to stop. People seem to wait for one or two games to label the likes of Zlatan and Messi chokers.
No against a team that is organised he fails to do anything. Thats from judging him over a 3 year period.

Silly argument. This all stems from a couple of games against Chelsea and Inter. By that same logic, Ronaldo is a choker too. Please don't tell me you're a subscriber to the Ronaldo or Zlatan is a choker bandwagon too?

Inter players really make it easy for themselves to be hated. Muntari, Thiago Motta, Stankovic, Sneijder, Eto'o, Mariga, Samuel, Materazzi, Lucio, Maicon... I could keep on going. It's like they enjoy having such players.

Did I mention Ronaldo or Zlatan? No, I've seen Ronaldo destroy Chelsea in the Premier League, I've seen him destroy Inter. Zlatan funny one he suceeded in arguably one of the most defense minded leagues in the World.

Why is it a silly argument? Messi showcases fantastic things against open defences, when a defence is compact he struggles thats a fact even against some of La Liga's minnows who know how to defend he struggles because they shut down Xavi and Messi becomes like 50% less effective, choking,struggles,plays poorly they all equate to the same meaning.

There's no way Ronaldo can be a choker. In CL the boy always performs and against big teams. On the other hand I can only name one match where Zlatan played well in CL. Zlatan is a big time chokero.
