[Lorenzo Juve]

Dortmund scares me more than Madrid, and though I know Bayern are big favorites against us, I think we have a better chance against them than most people here seem to think.

you sure about this Andy? have tweeted it, will be flamed hard if its wrong lol.

trust me im right

 

[WΏΏdy?]

I want dortmund in the final, after we knockout real in quaters and bayern in the semis.

 

[JCK]

When will Germany become the second nation in terms of UEFA coefficients?

Seriously, you can't pull your leg up that way in that part of the pitch and don't expect a defender to come near the ball in a situation like that. I think Nani's reaction convinced the ref with his intentions.

Yes and he even knew the defender was comming in, he was looking at the ball afterwards, but he took the risk, knowing the defender came.

Exactly, he didnt go right away to apologize or anything like that. He threw down on the floor and acted like he was shot in the chest.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

Yes. But those elbows on headers always earn a yellow card unless the player pulls a De Rossi on McBride and tries to splatter his brains, which is intent.

There is no power behind Nani's leg, he's trying to cradle a ball. It's not a stamp or a tackle! It's just a loose foot. It doesn't even hurt. His leg recoils instantly because it's just a limp leg trying to take a ball down.

what if that was giovinco defending and studs caught his eye?

 

[Klin]

The only teams I fear at this point are the Germans, if we'll go through tomorrow.

 

[Trequartista]

Deneb is right, it's a red according to FIFA.

"A player is guilty of serious foul play if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when challenging for the ball when it is in play.
“Using excessive force” means that the player has far exceeded the necessary use of force and is in danger of injuring his opponent"

Doesn't have to be intentional.

I love the pun.

i'd pay anything to see giovinco hang that long in the air

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Lol woo hoo!! Hala Madrid!

Fuck man united. I'm glad they got done by a dodgy red card. Now for Bayern to complete the job next week.

 

[TrezJuve]

Fair enough, that was a red.

"Force". Where is the force in trying to cradle a 50/50 ball in the air?

 

[Ahmed]

if Arbeloa had been on the ground that would have knocked his teeth out, 100 percent red card.

So sweet for us who have to deal with the EPL hype

Not making anything up. There's a reason no one on Real thought about it being a red.

You think at that speed, kicking your feet up 1.5 meters, doesnt got force behind it ?

Physics tell a diffrent story.

Just look, Nani didnt fell down, he stood ferm, the foot connected well
