Marseille vs Bayern | CL Quarter Finals | 1st leg |

Simmer down ladies.

I suppose we shouldn't host the world cup in Brazil, gives Brazil an unfair advantage.

Yes, in a way it does give them an unfair advantage, but considering in the world cup you have 32 countries involved its harder to find enough countries that can hold the world cup and have the stadiums to hold it without actually being in the world cup, whereas in a Champions League it is much more flexible as you only need 1 ground for the final and it can be anywhere in europe, excluding 2 stadiums.

It's like the who's the biggest moron contest up in here.

Where shall we host the world cup then? Zimbabwe?

A stadium needs to meet certain criteria to host the CL final though.

No, like I said its much harder to do for the World Cup therefore they should just put up with the advantage that the one country gets.

In the World Cup the host nation plays all of the games at "home". Whereas in the CL it's the final, which has a much less chance of happening.

exactly, plus the club team plays there every week so they are more used to their own home ground then say The England team are to Old Trafford or Wembley.

You are missing the point, the likely hood that the team who play at the chose ground for the final will actually reach it is very low.

Yet this year Bayern could well reach the final! What im saying is they should have a back up venue on the off chance that is does happen.

I saw that when watching the highlights, M'Bia deserves credit


Seriously though, way over the top and should have been a red. Gomez has done similar things though so he kinda deserves it .
