Shot from far out along the ground, casillas got a huge hand to it that stop it pretty much but ever so slowly rolled over the line under him after

hehe, was that Mandzukic in the corner just then with the awesome backheel completely taking 3 Real players out of the game. Mandzukic is so under rated as a complete footballer, people think he's just a big target man, like Dzeko I guess, but both can pull out awesome passes and have good vision/creativity in their passing. they are just big, strong and can hold up the ball well or control a long ball as well.

Dortmund game had them with 11 shots, 6 on target, other team with 3 shots, 1 in target. So pretty complete domination, they've done it so often and just not gotten the goal(s) required though. Really think even a couple of wins on the bounce would completely turn their season around confidence/form wise.

EDIT:- only just realised it's the Geordie guy on the american coverage.. turned it up just in time to hear "just like Simeone with a machete in his pants".... I don't think I want to know the context, because without it, it's brilliant and I can't think of a context that would make sense in

Dortmund 2-0 up with 20 to go, come on.

 

[Moothead2]

3-0. This could be the turning point for the season. Shame that no matter what happens they're probably going to lose Hummels and Reus at the end of the season.

 

[drunkenmaster]

lol, Griezmann makes it 3, Real are always capable of getting back in a game but 3-0 down with just over 20 to go, doesn't seem likely now. Atletico so tough at home.

 

[Somnambulist]

Have Real even had a shot on target? Been utterly dire.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Dortmund with a huge win today to lift them out of the bottom 3. Had they lost they would've 5 points off safety.

De Bruyne with another two for Wolfsburg and showing what a talent he is when he's given playing time.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

4-0 atletico

 

[Somnambulist]

Lol 4-0. Been totally one-sided for the whole game.

 

[NeedAUsername]

My app says RM have had one shot and it wasn't even on target. Had to check it was la liga and ronaldo and bale playing as well. Lol

 

[Somnambulist]

Ronaldo was just walking around with the ball when he got it, given up completely.

Ronaldo was just walking around with the ball when he got it, given up completely.

Great when his team is dominating and setting him up with chances, useless when his team has their back up against the wall. Great goalscorer he is no doubt but there are a lot of other players i would pick ahead of him.

Barca are still one of the best teams to watch when they're on. Wonderful stuff.

African cup of nations final is the worst game of football I've ever had the misfortune to witness.

Put the Bilbao-Barca game on.

 

[robfosters]

Put the Bilbao-Barca game on.

I can't, it's too painful. Had a treble on Ivory Coast, Inter and Barca. Inter and Barca are rolling home. Never backing African football again. It's either rubbish or fixed.

Well you missed 4 goals.

Neymar's finishing is absurd. Great game, this.

 

[nemtizz]

Horrendous late challenge on Suarez's knee. Deserved red.

 

[nemtizz]

That is ****ing disgusting from Messi. Beautiful goal.

 

[Moothead2]

Ivory Coast miss 1 & 2, Ghana then miss 3 & 4 and now the Ivory Coast keeper is down just before the 5th penalty. Been an interesting shootout to say the least.
