LCFC1996 Posted 12 April 2014 Share Posted 12 April 2014 Thought Roma played some brilliant passing football tonight. If Juve can drop a few points, based on how they've performed lately it isn't unlikely, in the next few then the game between them & Roma in the penultimate game becomes very interesting.

MC Prussian Posted 13 April 2014 Share Posted 13 April 2014 hahahahahaha barcelona Yes, the glorious years are behind them - with time, more and more teams have analyzed their style of play and have been able to counter the possession and the passing with fast forward-play. I think it's all down to cycles - you can't sustain the same success for too long, anyway. Other teams catch up as the years go by and I'm glad one of the Madrid teams (Atlético, preferably) is going to break Barça dominance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other teams catch up as the years go by and I'm glad one of the Madrid teams (Atlético, preferably) is going to break Barça dominance. Spot on.. it IS all down to cycles. Here's food for thought.. are the cycles really based on changing styles of play (eg. Spanish kids learning to play a passing game, or Germany building a passing-with-direct game)? Or is it actually just down to cycles of 'good players.. as in GREAT players)? Take Barcelona as an example. Is it any conincidence that they are now starting to deteriorate now that Iniesta and Xavi are getting on a bit? Or Bayern... is it down to Guardiola or just to the fact that they have some tremendous players? I think its a combination of both personally. Tactical play and good managememt are massively important, but maybe moreso are the great players. Arsenal have done fook all since Viera, Petit, Henry have moved on. Just a thought.

One Legged Beaver Posted 13 April 2014 Share Posted 13 April 2014 Looking likely that Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid on the final day could well be irrelevant as Atletico may have already won the title by then. Utterly mind-blowing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 13 April 2014 Share Posted 13 April 2014 Anyone see what just happened to Diego Costa, horrible looking injury. Yeah. Didn't look good. Did you see the possible reason for him missing the penalty earlier in the match? http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/atletico-madrids-diego-costa-suffers-3410947 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 13 April 2014 Share Posted 13 April 2014 Atletico now favourites to win la liga. christ And that even with their best goalscorer out injured - which speaks even more for the terrific team they have. Great for the league, would love them to win the title. Oh: That collision looked somewhat comic at first, but that open wound afterwards... Oh, my. What a gash. Terrible. Hope Diego Costa gets well soon again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 15 April 2014 Share Posted 15 April 2014 "A fleeting shabbiness came over the legend that night. On one of the many occasions when our paths crossed during my time at Milan, he unleashed Park Ji Sung to shadow me. The midfielder must have been the first nuclear powered South Korean in history, in the sense that he rushed about the pitch at the speed of an electron."
