[Weld_El_7aj]

So this Sunday we have the Spanish league Clasico. Bar?a Vs Madrid. who you think will win?

Possible teams:

Bar?a : Valdes; Alves; Puyol; Pique; Abidal; Toure Yaya; Xavi; Iniesta; Messi; Ibra; Henry. depends on how Messi & Zlatan are for the game, if they are not ready then Pedro & Keita would take their places

Real : Casillas; Ramos; Pepe; Albiol/Garay (Albios is injured i guess); Arbeloa; Lass; Xabi Alonso; Kak?; CR; Benzema; Marcelo/Higuain. some say Marcelo will play but i don't thonk so...

the game is Sunday 18h GMT

Barca are still stronger for me

I don't really care about the result,but I think Barcelona still have the edge over Real.

[deletedxyz]

Maybe another 4-0 result like before? :D

Barca are still stronger for me

yeah that's why I said 2-0 Madrid are good, its just Barca are more complete

[DrunkenBeard]

Although I think the team is still not 100% ready and fully operational, I hope we (Real Madrid) win so we can confirm our leadership in Liga. If we play our good football winning won't be a problem :)

I can see this team starting Sunday :

Casillas

Ramos - Pepe - Garay - Arbeloa

Xabi

Kaka - Lass - Marcelo

Benzema - Cristiano

4-1-3-2 with a defending block of seven players, 2 world-class wing paths : Arbeloa-Marcelo-Cristiano and Ramos-Kaka-Benzema, and Alonso-Lass to win the mid-field war againt Xavi-Iniesta.

Should be a good game.

A certain Merseyside derby on Sunday is more important to me though.

[Lechio]

Will bet on Real Madrid taking the win. 2 goals from Cristiano.

Sure enough. Pool - Everton games are always big business, and in the context of our season, this is one of the biggest ones for years.

Barca pip it :)

What an awesome game as well, some fantastic attacking football. Also noticed that his move to spain hasn't tempered Ronaldo's propensity to flop like a 12st sack of s*** at the first opportunity.

[DrunkenBeard]

Well Barca won, but great game from Real Madrid. Missed two obvious chances to score in the first half (Ronaldo and Marcelo) and kill the match, but anyway it was a good game, very difficult for both teams :)

A Madrid-Barca game is always difficult. Barca didn't have a clear field to play their usual game. Were they a bit nervous? Was it not their day? Or was it R.Madrid playing a good defense to minimize Barca's attack? Maybe it was a combination of all of these factors. What it is for sure, is that Madrid couldn't stop Messi without fouling him. :laugh: I am, of course, disappointed that Madrid lost. Players like C.Ronaldo and Marcelo had clear opportunities to do some damage, but they failed. Benzema didn't have a good game, and I should say that he still hasn't displayed the skills that he showed in the French league. Ibrahimović's goal could have been stopped despite of Alves' amazing assist, so it was a defense's error. However, setting aside mistakes, Sunday's derby was, in my opinion, R.Madrid's best game of the season so far as a whole, and I can only hope that they get better as a team in the games to come. Congrats go to Barca for winning.

P.S.: It was funny how Iniesta shushed CR9. It was just unexpected, as he always seems so calm. :laugh:

[Weld_El_7aj]

Great game and better win for Bar?a, Madrid played very wel but lost again (sorry i had to say it:pp). Zlatan showed he's a great 9 and the last minutes with Xavi, Iniesta & Messi fooling the defense were awesome!

P.S.: It was funny how Iniesta shushed CR9. It was just unexpected, as he always seems so calm.:laugh::

Iniesta explained that he told him to shut up after CR told him to stop diving because CR is not the best one to talk about that...

I know the exact explanation that Iniesta gave. I commented on it because I just found it amusing that C.Ronaldo made him lose his temper. Both players dive. It's a thing of football. ;)

i wished that messi would score, he deserves it.

3-1 next match barnabeu, to FCB ofcourse.

Well, there's still a long way to go before that game, so, not doubting your divination abilities, it is yet to be seen. ;)
