Barca : BEST!

[Pratters]

I have been saying that all season and have been priveleged to watch almost all their games this exciting season.

I will say it again.

Barcelona is the best football team in the world.

 

[SupaFreak2005]

good stuff by ronaldino to get those 2 goals... chelsea looks like they might get another though ...

 

[Tom Halsey]

Did that really need a new thread? We've got 4 Football Threads atm.

 

[Pratters]

Did that really need a new thread?

Yes!

 

[Tom Halsey]

Humble pie, Pratyush?

 

[superkingdave]

ha ha, it might be more prudent to wait till after the result next time

 

[Pratters]

Humble pie, Pratyush?

I wouldnt say Chelsea is the better team Halsey. One win doesnt prove Chelsea is a better team than Barcelona.

Well played Chelsea but I guess the 3 goals in the beginning couldnt be overcome. Else Barcelona dominated most of the match as they usually do with most matches.

Which is why the victory will be all the more sweet for Chelsea and English fans.

Could a Mod please correct the thread title now?!

Barca: 2nd BEST (ON THE NIGHT TO CHELSKI)

Barca only won the first game because of an incorrect sending off, also I didn't the see the first half but Barca sure as hell didn't dominate the second half tonight.

Chelsea ----- Barca
60.3 Passing Success 79.4
97 Tackles 45
33.8 Possession 66.2
38.3 Territorial Advantage 61.7

The only thing I would like to say to that is that the only certain thing in sport in a result. win, loss or draw in case of football. If you still put it down only to the sending off as the reason Barcelona won the game, you need better perspective on sport.

Stats like that (that's if they're even correct) are meaningless because they're skewed by Chelsea basically letting Barca attack for the last 15 minutes, Chelsea looked far more of a threat in the second half. The only time Barca looked threatening was when Glen Johnson was near the ball.

Ofcourse when it hit the rim of the goal post, and before Deco hit the free kick, barca didnt look threatening.

Haha, nearly as bad as me slapping Kevvy P around and then him being a god..

Does the humble pie taste good?

 

[Pratters]

BARCA IS STILL THE BEST

 

[twctopcat]

Possession is all well and good, but as the old phrase goes, its what you do with it that counts....

 

[Neil Pickup]

Am I allowed to close this one or will you get offended?

 

[marc71178]

Barcelona is the best football team in the world.

So what does that make Chelsea then?

 

[Pratters]

So what does that make Chelsea then?

A good team which happened to win a football match against the best.

I would suggest that you see more matches of Milan and Barcelona before assuming Chelsea is the best.

 

[superkingdave]

I usually catch at least some of Barca's match every week and TBH they've had some very good games, and some not so good games, they look quite ordinary without Ronaldhino, whereas its hard to state whom is Chelsea's best player - 2 of the players that could be argued for were injured tonight. I think you'll always have a better chance if your team is less focused on one player.
