OT: El Clasico

[UConnSwag11]

If anyone is a soccer fan I hope you're watching this game between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Starts in ten minutes

 

[UConnSwag11]

Even if you're not a fan I suggest you tune in

If you're watching that instead of UConn football, I suggest you be beaten.

Lyle McCombs is averaging 57 yards a carry right now!

5 minutes of el classico is more entertainment than Uconn Football has provided all season.

I can't stand either team, but I think I actually dislike Real Madrid slightly less than Barca

Nonsense.

Look at all the entertainment they've given Central Florida fans in just the first eight minutes of the game.

Should of been a pk for cr7 being pushed in the back in the box

 

[OklahomaUconn]

Ref calls it right at 3 min extra time when barca clearly drained 2 min from the clock

Soccer, is that the sport where people frantically run around for an hour and games end with one or two points but 20/30 near misses?

If I was in better shape I may would watch, but I get sleepy when I watch a game.

You should tune in just to see Gareth Bale's hair (his game, not so much).

Uconn football is always up ^^ But once it became a 30 game I was done! And watching uconn

 

[patrick]

Great game to watch on TV; polar opposite of our football debacle streaming online.

Not a Barca fan, but Cristiano Ronaldo whining incessantly throughout games, whining about losing, and whining about not winning awards grows old. Great athlete, but challenging to admire his personality. Advantage: Barcelona.

I was with you right up until you said "Advantage: Barcelona." They play the game beautifully but it seems a little unaware to complain about Ronaldo whining and complaining and then compare him to a team that comports themselves like a bunch of bratty six year olds.

Incidentally, it's clear as day that Mascherano pushed him down in the box. No-brainer of a blown call. I'd complain too.

both teams are full of the biggest whiners in world football. Really, Barca is JUST as bad, Messi excluded. I cheer against Spain every game because all those guys completely piss me off with their antics, no matter how beautiful they play otherwise.

El Classico only matters because they are the only 2 teams in their league that have any prayer to win it. EPL and Bundesliga are so much better.
