arsenal won a clean penalty which was deemed a dive, (it was impossible to be a dive), then a braga player tackled eboue from behind and possibly tore MCL or ACL and no card was shown.
At the time, Arsenal had already made all 3 substitutions, and were forced to play 10 vs 11 and got caught on a break where they conceded the first goal. The second was the same thing.
The ref didn't want to give braga any yellows all game which was crazy when you watch the challenges they did.
I only saw the recap, not the whole game, but it seemed like unlikely for arsenal they didn't have a good ball flow or a shitload of chances like they typically do against weaker teams (which I consider Braga being). Did Wenger spare players?

how can they possibly not see how this was going to be abused before they implemented it?
ugh
Yes, comical situation. Reminds me of the Playoff Game FC Barcelona vs FC Bayern Munich 2 Years ago, where Barca had 4:0 lead in first Game and 5 Minutes before end, Marquez just waited out a free kick to get booked and banned for the second leg. It doesn't really meet the purpose of the rule.
Oh i loved the game of last night :D, had so many good laughs with my friends, was an awesome game to watch, i'm so hyped for monday night, ell Classico has never been this exciting. :D
I'm been impressed by the Spurs this season. Man they are just one of those teams you see getting better and better and for the past 2 years I have told myself to look out for them the next year.
Now they are in the ro16, top of their group...really great story, congrats to them.
Just seeling one player should't brake a teams back that hard. Football is a team game after all. And it happened with them in the past, Micoud, Diego were sold and replaced aswell.
And yes, impressive performance and evolution by Tottenham this season so far.
Oh dear Mourinho might be in trouble. It's hardly his fault the rules are completely stupid.
lol what did they expect? no comment;;
but yes Spurs have done reaaaally well this season.. I remember some of my friends doubting whether they were worth the 4th place in the EPL at the end of last season; I was one of them.
i'm more surprised with Bolton though.. anyway this EPL is probably one of the most "balanced" as it gets in a long while! lots of teams competing, lots of teams with the potential, and chelsea and united not dominating like they used to. and arsenal.. well they're always "contenders" TT
EPT
