now watch the vid u posted, same exact shit happens. I just baffles me that people go to such great lengths to manipulate shit to try to make others look bad... i just don't get it.
Wow , different angles FTW..You are right it"s one and the same. :O
Hah that's selective journalism and a half there, isn't it? Let's not show the part where Mou pokes him in the eye, apparently unprovoked, let's just show his reaction.
I've heard some people suggest that Mou is so controversial because he is trying to protect his players. By being so flamboyant and bat-shit crazy in some of his actions it deflects attention from his players. No idea is that really is why he does the things he does, but he's either completely mad as a hatter or an evil genius.

He's said in an interview (don't recall where) that the tries to attract attention so that his players don't. He's always been like that at Porto, Chelsea, and Inter before coming to Real. Its quite funny because everyone who works with Mourinho absolutely adores him (so does the media) - something must be said about his man-management skills. In fact, I think he always likes to create a siege mentality in his team where the view of 'us versus them' predominates the field. Of course, this seems to usually create results, but against a team like Barcelona, its difficult to achieve victory despite Mourinho's prodigious man-management skills.
Yeah it definitely works and pretty much anyone who's played for him would die for the man. Excepting those that don't like to follow orders, who just end up hating him - like Robben

IMO he's a mix of the two, just like some guy in EG. Even the merengues start to think he's overdoing it tho.
The best team won and Mou used his classic smokescreen to try and cover the fact that they played like shit and scored off-side/by pure luck.

I think RM played extremely well for 90% of the game. They fouled alot again, especially toward the end, but they weren't there to watch barca pass the ball for 90 minutes, they were there to win, even though their goals were ugly (not offside), but that doesn't matter, a goal's a goal. But yeah Mou is so ridiculous man, what the hell is wrong with that guy? he IS bat shit crazy lol

He's not crazy at all he's just doing absolutely everything he can to try and win.
But as long as Messi is on that pitch for Barce he can't win. For a man who is used to winning it must be SO frustrating.

CR's goal is in offside if you watch the replay. Can't say it worries me so I'm not really argue with anyone about it.

100% not offside Offside is called when the ball is let go, not when received. When benzema shoots cr7 is behind abidal. go to 2:00 + Show Spoiler +

lol.. I get your point but you express it poorly... how is fouling NOT prohibited.. its a called a "FOUL" because it is Illegal and hence prohibited thats why.. you either turn the ball over or get punished for doing it. yea if you foul a player just gets a free kick, thats whats called the penalty for breaking the law.. minor breakage but a breakage nonetheless,,,
its a viable tactic sure and theres times to do it ofcourse but you usually need to face some consequence's or get lucky..
but heh... just listen to yourself... "fouling is not prohibited" ... thats like just, God im just speechless
I do get what you mean though but you might want to articulate that a little better..

Calling it 'prohibited' makes it sound like if you do it you could get a ban. Like certain drugs are prohibited etc. Fouling as the last man is prohibited as that is a straight sending off but a cynical tackle is just part of the game. Perhaps my take on the word prohibited doesn't match up to yours, but I see where you are coming from
