Messi's Man-cave

[Emanuel A.]

(...) It was a team with a somehow weak defense- Baia was terrible- but it was very, very entertaining. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC57WLJYmUE that man was out of this world back then!

C'mon Sérgio, don't say to me the best european goalkeeper ;-) a few years later in 2004 was nothing but a loser :emote_head_explode:

Agreed with the Portuguese abroad vs the ones inside part however, I think that's too harsh on Ronaldo. He was not the one quitting on the team during training like a certain defender, or like a former right wing player that literally punched the National coach

Who? You aren't speaking of Ricardo Sá Pinto and Artur Jorge for sure )

Moreover, I only wrote the truth. No harsh at all. Ronaldo is much more stimulated playing in the clubs or in the main national team. Olympics were not the case, whether your sportinguista heart can feel it in a different way whether not BTW, I could watch the games then.

When we start to speak about football/soccer, we even lose the memory we already met each other in real life beyond these boards' pages... LOL

In Real Madrid, its a constellation of Stars, and they need to create a "school" just like Barcelona does. I think they did very well to hire Mourinho, but they need to keep him for at least 3 more years to create a structure and end this "Prima Dona" state of Players ruling the club, and not the club being above them. This happens in Manchester with Fergusson and in Barcelona with Guardiola (and in Portugal with FC Porto- this one is for Emanuel )

OK, since you mentioned the best team* in the world you even need to click into to get it LMAO so no hard feelings over here


* twice European Champions + other multiple national and INTERNATIONAL trophies in these last 25 years...

4 minutes later, next Madjer's move (he had asked to re-enter after to be assisted outside) and 9 minutes to yet play before the end...

Looks like Pipita Higuain as the 9 with Benzema on the side. No DiMaria. Barca playing with back-up goalie Pinto. Watch out for Alexis Sanchez.

Hehe Emanuel, I studied in Porto so I have a sweet spot for "that" team, too . I absolutely despise the "lightbulbs in Red", though (in soccer fan way, of course). Yes, it was nice to meet you- it was when, 2005, new years eve for 2006? Long time ago! I just had bought an HVX back then

Anyone saw the game? Ronaldo did a good goal with a good pass from Benzema, but TERRIBLE defense by Pepe and an amazing, out of this world pass by Messi. Real Madrid's defense was to blame in those two goals. No one was watching Abidal!! Just saw the highlights, though. Too tired to see it live...
