Reims 2 - PSG 2

Alright game in the end, bit scrappy in parts. First game of the season though, that can be forgiven. Zlatan missed a penalty and an open goal.

Mods, feel free to change the title or something if need be.

So empty here

Serie A starts soon. Can't wait. Hopefully, it is Roma's year.

I'll put this in here then, Thiago Motta had his nose broken by Brandao after the PSG v Bastia game. Brandao waited for him in the tunnel, then head butted him and ran off like a girl to his team's changing room.

Hope the police get involved, no need for that sort of behaviour at all.

 

[The__Malteser]

Saw that. Why did he headbutt him? What happened during the game?

Everyone will know the ins and outs of the players they're targeting from these leagues next summer though

Did Ramos just try to punch Mandzukic?

 

[drunkenmaster]

forgot this was on

seems like Ronaldo went off injured, any idea what kind of injury?

 

[zophiel]

they just said a recurrence of previous injury.

Ramos did seem to punch Mandzukic when on the floor.

 

[Robbo]

Atletico off to a flyer.

 

[manic111]

Mandzukic is so good. Far better than Costa, bet Atletico can't believe their luck!

Bayern 2-1 Wolfsburg, game was fairly close.

Robben set up the first goal for Muller then scored one himself. Second half Olic scored a cracking goal and after that Wolfsburg had a lot of good play and some great chances. They missed one golden chance/sitter, then Bayern had a goal ruled out... though it shouldn't have been from what I saw.

No Bendtner in the team yet, not match fit.

 

[Robbo]

Simeone is so stupid.

Needs to chill out.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Simeone sent to the stands after 25 minutes! Tapped the 4th official round the back of the head!

Someone tell him it's the Spanish version of the Charity Shield not the CL final

Really don't rate Coentrao or Benzema. This Madrid team would be absolutely devastating with a better striker.

 

[manic111]

Garcia...you have to score that.

 

[Purdy]

Like Giroud ?

 

[manic111]

Like Giroud ?

Honestly, in this Madrid team, I think that Giroud would be better. He links play brilliantly, could drop in and shift the ball to Bale and Ronaldo.

But if they'd got Lewandowski...Wow.

 

[McBain]

Quite how Bale missed that chance is beyond me, on his left foot with basically the entire goal to aim for and he cuffs it wide.

Benzema is ****, absolutely anonymous 95% of the time.

Saying that, how bad are Real at the back?

 

[manic111]

How much closer can you get?

 

[McBain]

What the ****? How is that not a foul on Bale?
