Lol
I'm only watching it coz Braintree dartford isn't on catch up tv


Don't think anyone's said Braintree are worth a watch, have they?

Each to their own, but I struggle to sit through the nauseating sycophancy that surrounds these matches. We had the build up on in the background, and whoever was hosting the show almost disappeared up Messi's sphincter because he had a good match against Man City, describing it as "one of the greatest performances in the history of the game". Someone pass me the flipping bucket.

I also find the (widely accepted) view that you're some kind of footballing heathen if you don't drop to your knees and worship at the feet of these gel-haired twits particularly laughable.

Some terrible acting from Mascherano, Suarez and Ronaldo.


To name but a few! The diving and feigning injures was frankly pathetic!
Give me a proper game with HONEST footballers anyday!!!

Decent winning goal by Suarez, but nothing out of the ordinary. Kroos strikes me as a lazy so and so. A better-class Huddlestone, if you will. Not willing to break into a sweat even when his team is chasing the game.

That one in the first half where Suarez got his player booked showed great ingenuity. He was certainly knocked off his feet but clutched his calf when the player hadn't got anywhere near his legs. Surely he must practise that sort of thing in training to get it to look almost believable for the referee?

unfortunatley its just not continental football anymore, Burton on Saturday over exaggerrated Magnays push, David de Gea yesterday...now i know he got trod on by Skrtel but for the first few seconds he was prostrate seemingly in agony..then he jumps up right as rain to have verbals with Skrtel and when the ref arrived he limped off again.....unfortunately modern football is full of cheats and unscrupulous behaviour...actually has been for a long time but in the modern era you just see it more because of the TV coverage....in the old days an off the ball incident pretty much went unnoticed until you saw someone just laid on the floor with a nose bleed.

My opinion on TV evidence/ fourth or fifth officials reviewing footage has changed in the last couple of seasons, i think it needs to happen to catch and eradicate the current trend of simulation, diving, wrong identities, spitting etc.  Unfortunatley without massive investment from the FA it couldnt trickle down the leagues due to the amount of cameras required but while they have the technology at Premier/ Champions/Europa/European and World Cup levels then why not use it?

The best and worst of Suarez, flashes of brilliance from Messi but overall a little subdued.
Piquet was just immaculate.

Can't be bothered with the rolling around.

I'll watch the wrestling for that.
