Now I do not support either team but was watching the Copa del Rey and Barcelona are a disgrace. Their p u s s y players dive like they have been shot with the slightest of brushes they go down and no effort made to stay on their feet when tackled. That Busquets is the biggest pansy of them all always doing a million roles holding his face when no one made contact with his face, he's is the biggest con at simulation looking for the free kick by diving, he makes the smallest thing seem much worse than it is. I don't really enjoy watching these matches the only good thing about it is goals. From both teams the constant hand gesturing trying to get players sent off, diving, moaning, crying, time wasting and every player surrounding the ref squaring up to him nose to nose really ruins it for me. Can't argue about the quality of 2 of the 4 goals though Dani Alves goal was a cracker and lovely creativity with Ozil's through ball pass to assist Ronaldo who showed good composure by rounding keeper Pinto to finish.
Mourinho doesn't manage Chelsea any more. There's no need to blindly agree with every crackpot theory he comes up with to deflect attention away from him getting his tactics or team selection wrong.
Any manager with Cristiano Ronaldo in their squad has no right to accuse any other team of diving, especially since they only do it after losing games. In fact, FIFA should make that a law.
The officials were an utter joke, Alves should have received yellow cards for at least 5 'tackles' and numerous other Barca players got away with challenges that were worse than those that Real players got punished for, the same linesman gave goalkicks instead of corners, flagged offside twice when the Real player was at least 2 yards onside and gave a few fouls when it was either a fair tackle or no contact at all was made. If every incident in that match was reviewed, I'd expect at least 50% of all decisions that went in Barcas favour were wrong, it's no wonder so many Real players sarcastically applauded the officials at the end of the match, if it wasn't outright cheating by the officials, they're so inept that they deserve never to be allowed near a pitch ever again.
This is the problem with foreigners: they can't see the obvious, that "The English, the English, the English are best, I wouldn't give twopence for all of the rest." How profoundly true.
