looks kinda absurd and no one really.. 21:1 that just looks wrong o_O
if you include the German Cup and the Champions League results it's
29:1
only one goal conceded this season, which was a pretty dumb goal:
let's see how Bayern is going to play against ManShitty on Tuesday.
Really wanted to see this game not only because it consists of two of the four(?) top clubs in the MLS but also the stars on both teams.
Sources have told LAGConfidential that Robbie Keane will miss the rescheduled match against the New York Red Bulls October 4th at Red Bull Arena. The Confidential has previously reported that he was going to be in Ireland Oct 7 and 11th for the International weekend, but it was thought he'd stay with the Galaxy through that Tuesday to play in New York.
Now we're being told by a source in Ireland that in a brief statement last night, the FAI announced that the Irish captain will join up with the team for the first day of training; Monday, Oct. 3rd. This will keep him out of the Tuesday match against the Red Bulls.
It's not even red, it's a yellow for both imo(or red for both if you are really strict). Both stepped on the others guy foot slightly, it's like pushing each other.
And a 10 match ban for that ridicoulus diving, somehow I'm not surprised that it happened in Spain.
Bayern has to play without their best defender of this season so far against Man City Sucks.
spanish football is just disgusting, unbelievable, every player, who "claims a card for the opponent" with this certain gesture, should be penalized with a yellow card. UEFA always praises RESPECT the game, RESPECT your opponent. they should school referees to penalize that kind of behaviour. and I bet the referee in the video didn't even see that the player stomped on the foot of the other one.
everytime i see this i just want to beat the shit out of this stupid m*therf*cker higuain (see at 0:11) and maradona as well.
fuck man , that type of shit really ruins the game for me. I mean, the little step on the foot? jesus christ, you have to be kidding me, that was unbelievable the ref didn't even see what happened yet still dished out a red... wtf
As for the last video, i too would hate arg/higuian after that wrong call which results in top forward not playing the semi's, especially if i was german
So the German guy handballed the ball near the box and got a yellow card. So what? Yeah it should've been a handball by Messi first, but the call on Müller isn't wrong
Whining and asking for calls which are clearly undeserved is wrong, but I don't see why it's so wrong to ask for fouls when they are deserved.

Badstuber is not only important because of his defensive abilities, but also because of his excellent passing. And van Buyten is just too slow for world class attackers ... well at least he is dangerous in front of the goal. Bad timing I guess.
Refereeing has really been bad in the past couple of years, basically across the board in all leagues. It's really starting to get embarrassing and ridiculous. They should be able to look at the replay for things like direct reds and penalties, they say it stops play but with a card or penalty play is already stopped. UEFA and FIFA need to smarten up. Even though both of those organizations are corrupt. Games shouldn't be decided because of terrible Referees and dirty players.

Then again, I'm Portuguese...
it's not the call, it's the "yellow card him!!"-gesture - seen at 0:11. I generally like the rules of football but I'd really like to see some more blanket "do not fucking try to influence the referee AT ALL" rules applied. it's sad that rugby seems like more of a gentleman's sport than football at times.
it breeds a culture of always doing it, regardless of whether it's warranted or not. this is the issue really- if people were only outraged towards the referee when they were innocently fouled then it'd be awesome because the referee could legitimately make a correct ruling based on outrage. instead you have a situation where people usually do it and the referee is always unconsciously moved 5% in the favour of those who complain, thus forcing "honorable" players to follow in the same footstep to avoid losing ground.. tension also always increases the more the referee is approached, this creates a history of tension, which eventually creates ridiculous bs like the past couple years of classico, where the quality of the teams ends up being outshined by the lack of sportsmanship. the constant badgering of the referee removes focus from the game.
and imo, arguing for the carding of players from the opposing team is just, the most unsympathetic kind of attempting to influence the referee, because you're (sometimes, not always though) appealing more for future punishment of the opposing team than for current benefits for your own team. e.g. müller in that clip - argentina didn't benefit at all from him being carded, whereas germany was harmed by it.
and like the la liga clip posted earlier, you have one guy stepping on another guy's foot, one guy simply retaliating by doing the exact same thing, and then a fucking conglomeration of fairies trying to influence the referee (and succeeding.) if this culture of cheating and manipulation wasn't created and constantly nourished and sustained by constant badgering of the referee in every game, these incidents would also be greatly reduced in number.
seriously? Of course it is red, but it is still quite disgusting.
This is just sad, in soccer it's obvious that some people will fake some real looking injuries and take 1 or 2 cheap shots in the heat of the battle for the ball but this is just neither of those, these 2 players from Sevilla should be punished, what a way to ruin a game.
And well yes that was an obvious red card regardless if the ref saw the arousing or not.
