Atletico love playing this dangerous style aren't they ? One goal conceded now and the tie will be a complete mess for them.

Really? Aren't you forgetting someone? :lol:
I was going to say is he worse than Tony, then I thought Tony actually has one or two every now and then whereas Bellerin has ruined every glorious opportunity he's had whilst also ignoring his defensive responsibilities.

This nobody is still entitled to an opinion though. :p

Back to the point. Diving, if it is caught on the night is a yellow but it is still common opinion that it is cheating that should be stamped out of the game. So the fact that intentional fouling is a yellow card offence doesn't mean that it should be treated any different than diving.
I've not really seen much call for stamping diving out of the game. Just punishing it properly, instead of what happens now where players get away with dives far too often.

We actually have Salzburg fans on this forum, or what?
I am not really a fan of them either, but to see a team from austria doing sth in Europe is pretty special. Also they changed from Austria's City/Chelsea to Leipzig's feeder/scouting club in the last few years which helps our country much more with them developing great youngsters and homegrown talent, which makes their success more enjoyable for me.

Not bad Mkhi.

I thought Alexi Lalas was Brad Friedel :) on FS1. They sure sound alike from memory.

Taking the next corner instead of Jones!
It's a major change whether you are willing to admit it or not so I repeat your statement. FFS this place some times.
No change whatsoever in terms of Arsenal coming into the tie having to score … you know exactly what I meant but have nothing better to do with your evening than argue the toss about the possible context of someone's throw-away comment on a football message board. Be pedantic as you fecking like pal i'll be watching the football with you on ignore from now on ;)

Not sure. I don't watch Bellerin enough but I know that Valencia is fecking shocking. I'm actually genuinely surprised when puts a decent cross in.

My takeaways from this game.

Get Thomas in to replace Valencia, Get Saul to add to the midfield, get Griezmann to add to the attack.

Arsenal putting up a good fight. They need to stop swinging it into the box though - the Atlético defence seems like 6 Vidics.

How it's possible to support Atletico and Real? What's wrong with Nadal?

That would be great but I've more chance of winning the lottery tonight and it's not even on.
