Alvaro Morata ... finally a player does justice to a quality pass from DiMaria.

Top ah de league ... leapfrog ... ~~at least fuh tonight~~ Wait ah forget Madrid cyah ketch up tonight ... wouldn't have been the case, but for ah top, Top, TOP save by Courtois. 2-1 FT.

enjoy it for de moment, short lived

The life continues ...

The fat lady's song has been sung. Atletico go into tomorrow's game with Getafe with Barca not having gained a point today ... Real likely will draw level overnight because they're facing a team in the relegation zone ... However, the same applies to AM tomorrow. As I mentioned earlier in the thread ... they have to dispatch struggling teams to make this work. Barca's loss today provides breathing room.

Tata Martino will hold the blame in the media but I keep seeing elite players squandering significant chances ... and, does anyone find Barca seem to be wukkin harder than usual (drop in efficiency)? ... some analysts suggest that Martino lacks a system ... or, put in other words ... that his system lacks order.

Yeah, sense asylum, cyar fight down Atletico though, Simeone and his troops deserve it

As for us, need two CBs and some life in midfield, moreso the former

Real doing the business vs Almeria. 3-0 with 27 mins to go.
Di Maria playing like a beast today.

Missed opportunity to go 2-0 ... had a feeling that penalty would have some drama. 11 v 10 doh ... Getafe lost a man on the foul. However, the home crowd has been stirred

. Roughly 20' to go.

asylumseeker · « **Reply #100 on:** April 13, 2014, 12:40:50 PM »

I eh sure Chelsea want a temperamental player like Diego Costa ... he just flatten ah man for a cheap yellow via ah elbow to the ribs and a double-handed francomeh push. Then again, dahis Mourinho-esque attributes.

asylumseeker · « **Reply #101 on:** April 13, 2014, 12:50:44 PM »

Nothing notable about AM's approach other than the idea is to see this game out by killing the clock ... and now 2-0 thx to Diego Costa at some personal sacrifice (doh watch de highlights if yuh squeamish!) I await the severity of his injury.

Peong · « **Reply #102 on:** April 13, 2014, 03:15:12 PM »

Oh shit I see a slow mo replay he smashed his knee into the post. Hopefully it's just bruised, but that kinda ting real hurts.

Simeone: "One more cut does not do anything to this tiger."

Just before the missed penalty.

The League, at the cutting edge of technology in football.

Quote

...

The photographers reacted immediately when Germán Burgos put his Google Glass in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez of Getafe. The image of our assistant coach immediately spread in the media and the social networks. The LFP have developed the first native Google Glass application that allows a club's technical staff to obtain all the statistics that they may needed during a game, was tried live for the first time.

The ground-breaking initiative had been announced by the League last Saturday through a press release, "The product allows the analysis of games in real time and the extraction of data from each game; clubs will have all the information about their own game, and of the sides they will face throughout the season. It will be the first time that Google Glass integrates such a useful footballing service".

Germán Burgos could access, without taking his eyes off the game, statistics updated every 30 seconds and grouped in four fields. With a simple flick of his finger, our assistant coach could “browse”' between "General statistics", "Game Building", "Defence" and "Shots".

Furthermore, the glasses had the statistics from the previous game saved on them, so they were available to consult without the need of an Internet connection. For a live trial like this Sunday’s, the glasses were connected to the Internet to be able to receive the data.

Barca players want to rest for the WC.

Barca's Neymar and Alba out for month with injuries

FOX Soccer Plus
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- Barcelona will be without Neymar and Jordi Alba for the final month of the season after both were injured during the Copa del Rey final loss to Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Both players will likely miss all five rounds remaining in the Spanish league, further hurting Barcelona's chances of defending its title.

Barcelona says Neymar picked up a ''contusion'' on his left foot during the cup final, which ended with Neymar's shot hitting the post in the 90th minute.

Alba was substituted at halftime because of a muscle tear in his right leg.

Defender Marc Bartra will be a day-to-day decision as he recovers from a muscle pull.

Barcelona hosts fourth-place Athletic Bilbao on Sunday without suspended midfielder Sergio Busquets.

And for crossing the line. That defender had to feel real old after Bale went so far around him and still beat him.
Classicos are not for the weak.

Look at Ronaldo's boss goals today.

Madrid is doing what it has to do to stay close to Atleti. Not surprised. Right now ATL is leading Valencia 1- nil @ the half ... promising.

Yuh know, you've been sounding dangerously anti-Madrid in this thread.

RE: The Champions League encounter

Chelsea has exhibited high concentration levels and sound defensive order, but one still thinks that opposing teams have not been committed to taking the game to them on the ground in the final third. Having observed Atletico Madrid and Liverpool this week versus Mourinho's defensive posture, I am of the view Atletico will struggle to penetrate unless a different approach is adopted.

If somehow Barca manage to come back and claim this (which I agree is virtually impossible), them 2 Villareal own goals will be the turning pt why. On another note, ugly behavior by Villareal fans throwin a banana at Dani, but hey, how about that reaction, picks it up, eats it and proceeds to take the corner kick...

asylumseeker · « **Reply #119 on:** May 04, 2014, 07:17:17 PM »

Atleti still atop the table, but Peong yuh get yuh wish ... that final engagement versus Barca will be decisive.
