Watching on SkyRamos!!!!
So you admit that Iniesta was more consistent in big games than Zidane and had fewer bad performances in big games than Zidane yet say there's no way we can say Iniesta was better than Zidane in big games over the course of their career?Yeah, so? He was a difference maker in more big games than iniesta. He also had more bad performances in big games. Guess it's up to wether you prefer consistency over peak performance. But in either case, no way is iniesta the better big game player. At best, they're on the same level
Yes, and not only in separate games, he got to that level throughout a whole tournament.Guess i'll quote myself
Now tell me, did Iniesta ever play at the level Zidane played against Brazil, or Leverkusen?
Crikey, this thread sure got derailed.Watching on Sky
(on bolded) Yeah, and he played on a better level than Zidane did that day.Guess i'll quote myself

Right, let's agree to disagreeNah, can't be bothered, we're going around in circles.
Let's get back on topic
Just seen it was on delay. I get you now!Watching on Sky
Odd way to look at it. Sometimes shots that are off target are much bigger chances to score than the ones that are on target. And that's exactly the case in this clasico. Barca had the biggest chances of the game. Messi and Neymar were 1 on 1 with Navas. Real had pretty much no clear chances over 90 mins except for the goal.Barca aren't great now. They managed only 2 shots on target vs 6 for Real. Real deserved to get a point.
I thought you were joking in your original post, then I saw your reply to me and realised that you might really not know the match was over. I didn't have the heart to say anythingJust seen it was on delay. I get you now!
Thank you! I may have been the only Sky viewer actually believing he was watching it live!I thought you were joking in your original post, then I saw your reply to me and realised that you might really not know the match was over. I didn't have the heart to say anything
It's the end result that counts!Actually blood is blue it only turns red when it hits oxygen
I have no idea what you're replying to but blood is actually red, it's always red. Only the venous blood looks blue because it's oxygen depleted.It's the end result that counts!
That was fecking hilarious. Wtf was he even trying to do?
See, I'm missing Barca from previous seasons. I'm a huge fan of MSN. Barca created 2-3 excellent chances but overall the quality of the performance wasn't great.Odd way to look at it.

Real should be happy with 1 point. Barcelona shouldn't and probably isn't.
Zidane was a lot closer to Kaka than he was to either Xavi or Iniesta.Lots of people here who don't remember Zidane. Zidane was Iniesta AND Xavi mixed into one
It wasn't great. But whithin the context of the game, Barcelona was still the better team. They didn't win because they failed to score in a period where they clearly dominated the game and created the biggest chances on the night, Neymar's, which is pretty much the clearest type of chance you can get in a Clasico and Messi's. They did enough to win the game except take their chances when it really mattered. They payed dearly for that, and this is the story of this El Clasico.See, I'm missing Barca from previous seasons.

I said it during the game. It's like Barca players have an automatic claim system.
I find your way of looking at it very odd. Clos Gomez didn't have the balls to call that penalty in the second minute on Lucas and the same thing happened later when Mascherano was pulling Ronaldos shirt. The hand balls from Rakitic and Carvajal were both good calls, in line with the new rules.Odd way to look at it.

Where did I say anything about the referee errors in the game or bad calls? Sure, this time Barca had more help, last Clasico Ramos should've been off in the first half an hour. He wasn't. Mistakes happen for Madrid as well in Clasicos, and not very rarely.I find your way of looking at it very odd.

Then we have the Lucas offside that was onside (Alba kept him onside), and that was a goal as soon as Modric sent that ball to him. Ronaldo was waiting on the other side for a simple tap in with one Barca CB to far away from Lucas, Ronaldo or the ball to fo anything about it.
It never changes in these games. You add up all referee errors and somehow every single time it's Real who get's more bad calls. Important bad calls, game changing bad calls.
Clos Gomez was sent there to stop Real from winning the league too early and that much was obvious already in the second minute of the game.
There's not much controversy today only because Real equalised in the last minute.
Yep. I'm watching. Playing in good old Manchester weather, they would have us believe. Entertaining stuff, not good for the defenders union though.Anyone watching the Betis game? Absolutely pouring down, waterfalls coming off the stadium roof. Betis are beating Celta 3-2 at the moment with about 10 minutes to play.
So next time anyone mentions a player, just ask: could they do it on a wet lunchtime in Sevilla?
Let everyone else run free, they won't score because they aren't Sergio F-ing Ramos.They already double mark Ronaldo and if they double mark Ramos as well then some players would be unmarked at all
In that situation, i'd rather leave cristiano open then sergioLet everyone else run free, they won't score because they aren't Sergio F-ing Ramos.
