The UEFA Super Cup Thread

Or whatever it's called.

First half was a total bore fest, second half was a bit better with a very spicey last 10 minutes. Messi has been the only stand out player IMO, but was very naughty in the last minute.

Now it's extra time.

No i'm not but do you know where I can get some cheap valium?

Iv just flicked on and seen the last 5 minutes, looking foward to Pens

There's been a couple of dives in this game, both inside the box in extra time. Shaktar's just got waved away...nothing more said by the ref or indeed the commentators. Barca's Pedro was booked for his...which makes you think, if players are going to be retrospectively banned for diving, the likes of Ronaldo, Drogba and Rooney better hope for a good ref who will see it during the match - after all a booking is a hell of a lot better than a 2 match ban!

Exactly, but either way you can bet none would suffer the witch hunt.

Messi pushed then headbutted one of their defenders and should have been red carded. If the ref hadn't seen it at all, do you think he'd get the same treatment Eduardo did? I don't think so

the ibra foul in the box was actually a penalty if u look at it clearly catches him and not the ball, the defender said he didnt foul him, he decieved the ref right?

[Forest]

anyways should really keep it to the match. barca tried to play through the middle and clearly didnt work, ibra doesnt look comfortable playin up top on his own

Ibra is an overrated donkey.

Bet they wish they kept Eto

Why would they change something that worked so well?

Not been impressed with Guardiola's purchases so far... apparently he has a big say in the transfers so it is up to him.

Hleb, Kieta and now Ibra... all a waste of space.

[niko197]

if we are going to follow the rules, messi should get red card.

Ibra is an overrated donkey.

ive thought the same in the past. he was never a champions league world beater in the sence he was in the league.. eto was unhappy but a hell of a player pepe should of licked his ass and begged him to stay i though eto was a better player than zlatan is . but forinter to get 40m aswell is just fantastic for them jose must of been wanking about it for a month

[Goose]

Pep didnt need to beg Eto'o to stay, as he didnt want to leave, Barca pushed him out

The most boring super cup i've watched in a while
