That's more like it, yes. Also hate their whole political platform about how they're always the victims of injustice and that crap.

well, they do have some historical basis for that...

what happened to the days juve had a reserved seat in the semi final

that's what I would like to know

 

[Esteban]

resorting to a massed bank of 10 men and hoofing the ball up is pretty much a tacit admission that the other team is simply much better at football

That really is all that needs to be said.

:melayyanandmessi: Maher's wiener must have fallen off thinking about the Finale

but isnt it the essence of his ways? always having a win to cheer?

god be with him in the finale when his two favourite teams clash

 

[Martin]

settling for a scoreless draw is now tantamount to settling for a ticket to the final?
you at least try to score an away goal for crying out loud

That's like saying all marathon runners should go full steam at the beginning. Rather than hang back and then close in at the very end. You play to your strengths, it's called strategy and this "they could have at least" is pointless polemicizing. They could, but that's not what was most advantageous, so they didn't.

But in that case they should have given the trophy to Barcelona in September because no team in the world can be superior to Barcelona in the same way Barcelona can be superior to the others.
No team can play open football against Barca without being defeated. That's why you must outsmart them. And that's what Chelsea were doing for +180 minutes. Many tried to play total defense against Barcelona but all failed. Chelsea had the players to do it and it would've been a suicide if they didn't take advantage of that.

hence the "chivalresque" part, and thank god for that it makes for a lot more fun game to watch... and post game to argue on here

wrong comparison chief. Chelsea played the first leg begging and praying to get a scoreless draw, if thats not admitting we are scared shitless to play football against these guys i dont know what it is

edit: i just saw the addition of "dirty tactics", we re talkikng about admission of superiority which was very obvious in the first leg. as for dirty nothing dirty about managing the clock with subs.

You know who admitted superiority? Muhammad Ali. He wouldn't even fight properly, kept dancing around. And that's why he won. So who was superior in the end? Ali.

Maybe, but they're unique in how much they whine about it and what big a role it plays in their whole culture. And it attracts an incredible number of mindless drones who buy into the "more than a club" bs.

How about you stop trying to parade your personal criteria as the only valid ones eh chief.

to be honest, i've never had to deal with that, even when in catalunya, so i can't say. as for "more than a club" I would say that for a lot of catalunyans it is more than a club

No, I didn't either. I didn't get into any football topics over there, the people that annoy me are right "here" on the internet.

wtf does more than a club mean? a restaurant? a spa? a gun store?

Who'll be your favorite team there and why?

that makes sense, those damn people on the internets are rather obnoxious the thing is, for me, while people like that tend to make their club unattractive, i usually judge the person to be obnoxious, not the club. inter fans aside

as for more than a club, well, barcelona is a club that more than most is a symbol for it's region, among other things
