Yeah to be fair though the goal came from a whipped in cross and a free header, not sure how Casemiro could have stopped that. But Casemiro also helps offensively by allowing players like Kroos more freedom, so perhaps they could have scored more than one yesterday.

I think the main problem with Madrid is Ronaldo's decline with age. The guy has gotten 1 goal in 4 games so far in the league. Over 38 games that would not even reach 10 goals a season. Portugal won the Euros, but he was far from convincing.

He hasn't looked himself, but I think a lot of the players that played in the Euros have looked jaded. I'm not willing to say that he's in decline just yet, his record is such that I have to give him the benefit of doubt. His jumping especially hasn't looked as freakish as it typically does, he's been getting under headers he usually gets over the top of and looks noticeably frustrated. I wouldn't put it past him scoring a hat trick after the international break though. It's still Ronaldo.

Barca completely let Madrid off the hook.

Madrid really need another DM when Casemiro is out. Doesn't have to be world class but needs to be able to give the side balance.

They should take Melo...he would be Il Nuovo Gravesen

Who do you guys have winning La Liga this season? Would love to see Atletico win it.

Looks like Simone is doing a good job of playing more offensive against the weaker teams, in using both Correa and Carrasco alongside Gameiro and Griezmann. Obviously against better opponents they'll most likely have one of Correa/Carrasco.

Sevilla Atletico next week should be interesting.

Is this Ronaldo trying to claim his own team mate Morata is offside?

I remember playing a match when I was about 16 and claiming correctly out loud straight away that the ball went out for an opposition goalkick instead of lying and claiming it was a corner for us and felt stupid. The fuck is this about?

I think it was a 'counterappeal', pre-empting appeals from them which never actually came

I'm 21. Although after playing a 5 a side match recently, it's come to my attention that 16 year old Dylan >>>> 21 year old Dylan at football.

I really thought Zidane is going to be another Di Matteo but, surprisingly he just beat ATM at home 3-0 and his team is on top of the table with 4 points ahead of second-place Barcelona.

So apparently the case around neymars transfer to Barca will get reopened and apparently the prosecutor is asking for a 2 years jail sentence for Neymar and 5 for Rosell.

I know it s not gonna happen but maybe some more people finally realize that barca is a club as dirty as they get probably only second to jube.
