Didn't see thread

Barcelona and Real Madrid play tonight in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup at the Nou Camp! Barcelona won 5-4 on aggregate last year, should hopefully be another classic encounter between these 2!

Meh, it'll probably be one of 4 or 5 derby's between the clubs. It got tiresome last season with 6 El Clasico's that produced more controversy rather than spectacular football!

BetterCallSaul

Yeah, there has been too many in recent years but I'm still really looking forward to this. The Supercopa games between them last year were fantastic.

Not as much pressure as the league or champions league so Madrid should come out to play attacking football.

Expecting goals!

IvySlayer

Barcelona: Valdés, Alves, Piqué, Mascherano, Adriano, Sergio, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Alexis, Messi

Real Madrid: Casillas, Ramos, Coentrão, Khedira, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Özil, Xabi Alonso, Arbeloa, Albiol, Callejón

Barr

Wayhay did not know this was on - thanks op.

Mr.Crinklewood

Started.

Barr

This match is the best kept secret for ages

inmyday

Has to be a yellow for alonso. Dont think the ref has gone back to book him yet!

Guy:Incognito

Why is the score in the middle of the bloody screen? Was never that bad before.

Mr.Crinklewood

Nice smack on the head there.

While Reals keeper kit looks like it was influenced by a traffic cone. Makes sense since Real are experts in congestion, parking buses etc in these games.

woof im a dog

to me these matches have kinda lost their appeal because theres been so many of them lately still hope madrid get the shíte knocked out of them though

Alexis should be booked...

Glico Man

Awful dive... fcuk sake Alexis

elefant

At the moment I'd say Alexis is the worst diver on the go.

He had an awful one in pre-season too.

That is some dive , 9 out of 10 times thats given as a peno ,

Barca has a fare few suspects in the diving stakes , must be taking classes together :mad:

elefant

How can that not be a yellow card?

pistolpetes11

Although Albiol is having a good game he needs to be taken off at half time , any of his last 2-3 fouls could of seen a second yellow

And with Pepe, De Maria and Ronaldo on the other side... joint classes if anything!

BetterCallSaul

He should of been sent off twice now. No question about either foul.

Richard Hillman

It will take a while for Barca to get out of the diving habit. It was definitely a Guardiola thing. The Spanish Barcelona players behaved like angels for Vicente Del Bosque. Maybe Vilanova might keep the extra training sessions at the pool though.

Its a scourge on football , retrospective action is the only way to stamp it out ,

Is it a Mourinho thing at Madrid then? The main culprits at Barca are Alves, Alexis and Busquets. Only one of them plays for Del Bosque.

Diving is not unique to Barcelona, unfortunately.

Bodhisopha

Xavi will pull Sanchez aside at half time and say "not at this club, son".

miralize

I thought Match Threads went to ****e after the match...

BKC

Hoping for a bit of a goalfest in the 2nd half now!

Please.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Just home from work, hup Barca!! A bit surprised it's 0-0, this game was a goalfest last season.

UpTheSlashers

So dives aren't bookable offences anymore? Cool.

Mr Alan

I don't think that was a dive after the replays

Wasn't even a dive, commentator is talking shíte. Plenty of contact there, enough to send him down as both their legs were tangled. The one where he went down in the first half however...... :rolleyes:

Ronaldo again, some man. Big game player

Paully D

:cool:

BKC

Ronaldo! 4 Classico's in a row!

Never does it huh?

Get in!

pistolpetes11

I love the calm down celebration he does , and that I had him for first scorer !!!

retalivity

armstrong is making a good job of being the spanish mark lawrenson.

unbearable prick to listen to

RandolphEsq

Get the fcuk in! Pedro you little minx!

Professional Griefer

Yes!! Get in Ronny!

Late as fook stream here. Nice finish.

Mr.Nice Guy

Jose won't like that. :pac:

Mars Bar

Ah jesus, that's some first touch. :mad:

pistolpetes11

Great touch and finish there from Pedro

The legs were tangled because Alexis hooked his leg behind that of Arbeloa.
