Porto had only 9 players. Of course Barcelona won.

do people who complain actually watched the game?
do they really bitch about favorable refereeing being the reason why Barca won?

so much bitterness here.

It really is frusrating to see how a team who win these titles stoops so low low to obtain them.

But what can we do?

A team who plays the most radiant Attacking Football I've ever seen, stain by their own tactics.

what tactics are you referring to?

All of them. The good ones and the bad ones.

The diving as usual. Losing possesion then dive at the last second to prevent the opposistion (Porto in this case) from catching Barca off.

The talk about the Penalty and the Red Card is just bitterness, really. Human mistakes, nothing else.

Barca is a soft team physically. However I don't think that the diving was that outrageous last night. I understand that people who are into more physical football might feel unattracted but that's just a matter of personal opinion. Other than that saying that (especially for last night's game) Barca's diving was too much, disgraceful etc is exaggerating IMO.

As for the cards they were all valid and as for the penalty, valid as it was the referee had equally bad calls against Barca as well.

Overall people just need to back off with this special treatment shit weather they liek Barca or not. At least for this game

Well, I concur about yesterday. Barca wasn't too bad with the diving, but seriously, I felt they could have done without it honestly.

I don't remember ball calls for Barca yesterday. Maybe one or two here and there same with Porto except the had an unfavorable call yesterday that could have been important.

But I don't like "could have been's".

the penalty should have been awarded fair and square.

On the other hand Villa should have never been stopped in order to award a foul on mascerano. That would have been a clear cut chance.

That's the only two major decisions that affected the game IMO.

Anyway it's all a "what if"

True, I remember now.

I initially thought the ref played advantage and then he decides to mark the foul nulifing a good chance.

Bummer.

In the end the point is this.......



Porto should have let go of Falcao after this match. :lol!:

by the way Hulk and Guarin are there for their last season too...

Great players

Eeh, so Porto's entire catalysts are gone then?

Time to work on Iturbe and Rodriguez.

imhxo barcelona get many players sent off against them due their ball possession and passing frustrates the opponent to do rash decisions and often lose their head.
