European Leagues 2014/15 thread

What a terrific match that was.

That Copa del Rey match was great but the best part was when the assistant ref hit the guy (I forget who) with his flag, I have never seen that before.

It was Alba. Then Turan decides to throw his shoe at him and the referee didn't even send him off. That baffled me so much. What more does he need to do to get sent off?

I think he just lost control of his shoe.

Out of interest is Illarramendi any good?

I don't he's ever going to get a chance at Real. Before it was Alonso, now it's Modric, Kroos and probably Silva. Next season you can add Casemiro to that list who's been fantastic for Porto. Even with Alonso gone, Modric out injured and Kroos adjusting to a new team/league/position Illra has still only averaged like less than 40mins.

Suarez with an absolute shithouse performance this first half.

Pique

The Rat inspires the immediate comeback.

Sorted himself out for the second half.

Barcelona paid £60+million for a downgrade on Sanchez

Mate you're lucky you have Walcott back because Alexis is about to go into hibernation.

Lucky? Walcott was fucking shit today. Well taken goal but other than that he was dire.

It's almost like he's been injured for a year.

Suarez can't seem to score much, but I think he's doing fine for a first season at Barca. He's been influential in the buildup to goals. Neymar took a year to shine at Barca.

Quaresmatic.

He really enjoys that sort of finish.

Imagine if Quaresma had the work ethic of Ronaldo.

Because that's the only thing separating them.

I am excited that it is under six weeks until the Finnish and Latvian leagues start up for 2015!

That's the major difference. He is just as talented as Ronaldo, if not more talented.

People more talented than Ronaldo don't fail to make an impact in the Turkish, UAE or Portuguese leagues even if they are lazy cunts. He's not in Ronaldo's league in any sense.

Lord have mercy.

wow.

*was as talented

When Ronaldo was 2 years old I was as talented as him.

After the goal, my favorite part of this vid is when the second commentator says something along the lines of, "After doing that Quaresma can go home. He doesn't have to do anything else."

I think Ricardo took that comment a little too seriously..
