And even the red card is wrong if you consider it all started with a foul by Busquets on Navas

missed foul on Navas->missed Messi's offside->foul out of the area awarded->penalty wrongly awarded->red card->penalty kick scored->numerical inferiority for 40 minutes->forced substitution->suspensions (Demichelis, Pellegrini)

You really think that's just being unlucky? I call it double standard
Eh, most of the Swedish journos etc (read: all of the few ones that I read/listen to) don't care about Swedes/the teams they support/etc being wrong/doing wrong/getting favors from the ref and such. He could've given a fould on Navas, but I did think it looked like a dive (just re-watched it, still does to me and no one complained about it either but, eh). As far as the offside deal goes I just assumed Kompany was too far back, but no one ever seemed interested in showing a proper replay so, yeah.

With that said, I realize we won't get any further on this, no matter how you see it Barcelona were lucky with the calls (as I would call it, but one COULD say something other than "lucky", if one would want to :wacko ), no matter what was objectively right and wrong. Don't get me wrong, I want Barcelona to fail as much as, well, not you, but you know. I just wasn't overly offended by that game.

Besides, City's shit at these there cups anyways. Well, not the League Cup, but EH HE HE HE PRESSURE ON ARSENAL.

So today was international friendly day.

Mexico = woof

Was underwhelmed with the selection for Germany and how the game went in general. Kinda getting worried even if it was just a friendly as Germany has a tough group.

Saw France won 2-0 but I don't know enough about the Dutchies to know how close their selections were to an A squad. Still interesting since I irrationally have France doing well in this WC.

Brazil just kinda did their thing all over RSA.

US played like crap and I doubt Gooch will ever play another game in the rw&b that actually means anything.

And all out of comments now.
Gervinho'll score a hat trick on tuesday. Wait, we DID WHAT!?

Good comments though!
