    Zlatan is fucking killing it.
    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    Pep is killing it. Bayern is nuts. 33 attempts and 79% possession?

    Great Classico today. Goalaso from Alexis. Ronaldo probably should've had a penalty, but he's a whiny bitch so fuck him. 6 points clear of los cabrones.

    ETA: que golaso senores

    That was a hell of a goal from Alexis. And Neymar looks like the real deal.

    Boring El Cashico. Royal Madrid look very out of sorts when Bale is on the field. It wasn't until he was taken off that they started to flow & apply pressure. Last week against Juve was the same thing. Bale comes on in the second half and with even with a man advantage everything seemed to get bogged down. I know he joined the club late and he's been hurt but I hope this doesn't turn into a throw away year for the kid.

    I think Bale is going to regret that move.

    Yeah, I think both sides will regret it. Madrid overplayed by about $50 mil for a guy who's been hurt for the majority of his career and whom they don't really have a place for in their system. Par for the course for Madrid though.

    Does Real have a system? Barca defense still looked shit.

    Bale probably wasn't worth the transfer fee (especially because he'll never be in the World Cup, ever, no free marketing) but he's not in the same league of overpaid as Zlatan. PSG is paying the flattrack stud~€15m a year post tax which thanks to the frog socialists is something like ~€55m pretax. Bale is getting ~€20m pre tax 66% of Ronaldo's wages. Fucking silly money for the few top-end clubs.

    Zlatan scores goals. He's an asshole and I love watching him play.

    Bale can score goals. He's a nice lad and I love watching him play.

    Zlatan will never be a hero. A well respected mercenary.

    Bale could have been a hero if he stayed at Tottenham. He might be one at Real. Or where ever else he gets transferred down the line.

    Can't argue against CR or Messi.

    I'm looking forward to Sweden v Portugal.

    Yeah, not really the system, per se. More like they already have a guy, CR, who you give the ball to and get out of his way, not sure if there is room for two of them on the team.

    Yep. I guess it kind of sucks for soccer that either CR or Ibra won't play in the World Cup, but I, for one, am stoked that one of those arrogant douchebags isn't going to Brazil.

    What a difference a few days make. Against Barca Carlo had Bale up top being supported by Cristiano & Di Maria on the wings. That didn't seem to work all that well. Against Seville Benzema took over the 9 role with Cristiano, Bale & Isco slightly behind him for support. This was a pretty common setup when Mou was in charge so maybe going back to a familiar formation helped things. Or maybe they were just playing an inferior opponent. Either way I was happy to see Bale put together a good game. And I dont think he will regret moving to Real. He'll never get a chance to play in a World Cup or Euro Cup. And if he stayed at Spurs there wasn't a very good chance he'd get to play in the CL every season. And did Real overpay? of course they did. All the big clubs overpay. Unless they're buying from Arsenal.

    big day for the premiers.
    Newcastle - Chelsea "I will slap Jose Mourinho if he repeats crowd-jumping antics, says Alan Pardew"

    Big evening match: Arsenal - Liverpool... firing squad? Im sure after last weeks upset, Real no es muy cantado to have traded Ozil.

    Ronaldo 4: Zlats 2 on agregate. Frogs didn't surrender (hopefully they wont' play as shit as 2010 or 2002), Greece and Croatia. Now a miracle in Wellington....

    Wednesday's Suarez show was outrageous. He had two top 100 goals.
