Yep, they deserved to lose by what they did, and they really should have got a penalty. Bale did not produce, not that I was ever expecting him to do, bar Ribery I really don't know of a more overrated player in football. Sure he did it what twice? But apart from that he's done relatively nothing in Europe or the EPL.
True. They have not been anything like in the early season, the whole Suprs team. (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) If anything, after their mid-season training camp in Dubai, the squad as a whole has been pathetic, draws and losses in bundles. How we managed to not go past them is way beyond me.
And that too with the difference being just one crappy goal, by Mr. Crap himself, did you see how Crouch got the cards. He should have been sent of direct red for the first one. (IMG:

Ah, you heard? I'm sorry not all our media is like that, believe it or not. I know it's kind of trivial but 'Ray Wilkins' is trending worldwide on twitter for his commentary tonight, it was embarrassing. Sky Sports should really assess his position after this it was just like a 5 year old who'd just lost at a board game short of stamping his feet and saying "it's not fair" there's not much more he could have done.
Oh definitely heard. (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) No reasons to be sorry for these guys, they are on top with their coverage going across the globe (and helped by the universalism of English language overall), but I have heard and read real English media with journalistic integrity and it is great.
Heck, even in the cricket world cup they had two English commentators calling the play in the last 10 or so minutes when Ireland was winning against you guys. Nasser Hussain and David Lloyd (affectionately known as Bumble), and this Bumble guy was screaming lungs out when the Irish were hitting the winning runs. He even said: "Up yours, England!" after the winning runs were hit. (IMG:

Still the higher ups at FIFA/UEFA and these stations should lay down some sorts of rules and boundaries. It's okay if anyone calling the play is supporting a particular team. A little bias and favoritism? Yeah, perfectly fine. Evey one does that Italian commentators, Chinese, the African ones in the Cup of Nations are crazy, but blatant disregard of the other team's skills and abilities is quite bad and uncalled for. At least call it down the middle, give the opposition the necessary respect.
Only then can you earn some for yourself. (IMG:

Seriously, what the hell was Ranocchia even trying to do on the own goal??? He slides in, stretches out a leg and connects with the ball, what did he think was going to happen?
+1. (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) Pathetic defending, from dare I say a pathetic defender. He is not all that he is cracked up to be. Heir of Nesta, more like "Hair of Nesta". At least we have a real young stopper in Silva, unlike this make believe, over hyped clown. Was at fault for more than one goal, gifted another own-goal along with the game.
