The Confederations Cup Thread/ City Player Watch.

[i've got that terry phelan]

It's the way the game is played where they are from. Did you see that run and pass? Neymar will kill La Liga.

A cheat is a cheat. Regardless of skill.

Very British of you sir but as I explained on the continent it's part of the game they celebrate it.

not making this about utd, but know for a fact they encourage their primary age kids to 'go down'. (not in a kevinwebster/kenbarlow way)

Now just for David and Navas to come off the bench and end this Brazil Juggernaut and this will have been a great match from my perspective ;)

SHIT FUCKING KEEPING FFS

Lol I was waiting for your reaction

I've never understood this fascination with Arbeloa as a RB for Madrid and Spain, he's so mediocre.

Casillas should have got his hand to it imo.

 

[Mrmcfc]

Neymar v Arbeloa is painful to watch.

 

[didactic]

You were saying?

No one doubted his skill, doesn't make him less of a cheat.

Messi and Ronaldo cheat too fella some of ours do too.

 

[bumbleblue]

great finish that..

 

[Blue Punter]

Get Jesus on.

I'd rather him (and Silva) sat this one out.

 

[thenabster]

Torres has been pretty bad today.

It's great to see Spain getting a good seeing to. They've been boring to watch in the last year. Not direct enough, far too content on keeping the ball rather than going to win the game (struggled to beat France and only beat Portugal on penalties in last year's Euros after a ridiculous amount of possession in both; struggled against Italy the other night just about got there on penalties).

Agreed. And Torres is shot.

yeah i know it was a hell of a strike. i just really can't stand neymar

 

[lancs blue]

lol @ Zidane and Isco

Enjoy being runners up for a looooong time to the Messi/Neymar show.

I can't see Messi hanging around for long if he isn't the top dog.

 

[LoveCity]

Spain need some steel and directness - Martinez and Navas.

 

[davymcfc]

Brazil have been outstanding.

 

[Proelia]

I guarantee spain win this

Forgive me for enjoying the game how it used to be and should be played. Honestly.
Why celebrate something that is rotting away at the game. It's not a form or a style, it's cheating.
Imagine if Neymar spent his time playing instead of cheating. If he had tried to stay on his feet when he was pulled back looking for the red card.
Could he have gotten the ball? Might it have been red instead of yellow? Who knows, honesty should be encouraged. Cheating shouldn't be celebrated.

Ronaldo does.

And which of ours are on the same planet for diving as Neymar?

Lads a cheat and the thing is that he doesn't need to.

Fuck me, pal. You've not actually read and taken in the words that have been said from posters on here, have you?
