FOOTBALL: EL CLASICO A RONALDINHO & ETO'O SHOW



i managed 2 wait until 5am 2 witness e match. i anticipated a barca victory looking at e past records & e current condition of real madrid vs. barca players. there is no doubt dat a defeat is inevitable but i nvr expected it 2 b lost with such cheap & childish ways.

e 1st goal is e most dumbest goal dat real had let in 4 as long as i had seen them play. ronaldinho passed a ball down 2 e penalty box, roberto carlos tried 2 shield e ball instead of clearing it as casillas ran upfront. he could not use his hands since it was just outside e penalty box so eto'o managed 2 steal e ball from e nervous carlos, skipped past casillas n netted e ball comfortably. e 2nd goal was e result of e chaotic defence. e 3rd was another childish mistake by guti. he pushed down eto'o in e penalty box unnecessarily since samuel was oredi there. wat is he doing there i still dun understand.

beckham, raul & ronaldo were not present in e match. it seems like a match between 11 & 8 players. i think all 3 of them have less than 5 times of ball touches in e whole match. michael owen's substitution 4 beckham in e 2nd half was something i had wished far more earlier. i wished solari was in as well instead of ronaldo. i dunno wat e shit he was doing in e field. raul? morientes should take his place long ago too.

ronaldinho was expected 2 perform well just like eto'o. ronaldinho was enjoying his time, smiling all e way during e match. now, perez knows veli clearly dat in exchange of merchandise wealth of selling jerseys of beckham & owen, he did not pick ronaldinho & eto'o. in footballing terms, even a shithead knows ronaldinho & eto'o r 200 times more talented than beckham & owen. i dun have a damn clue why they were not selected 2 b bought instead of selling jerseys.

2 me, samuel was performing veli well, buying him was a great decision, but real madrid should b not chicken enuf not 2 field ronaldo or beckham or any underperforming players no matter how many jerseys or how powerful they were in e past. ronaldo is no where near his PHENOMENON days. he is terribly slow & falls down too often. morientes should b in e line-up anytime. even with his superb performance during e champions league campaign last season, he still dun deserve a place in e starting line-up. i am oredi out of words of wat more he needs 2 prove. perhaps e versatile helguera's exclusion from e starting eleven in e match was another main factor 4 e defeat. pavon looked as nervous as roberto carlos. they were undecided in many ball encounters. salgado on e other hand was suffering with marking ronaldinho as he was far more better & faster running thru e defence from his flank.

e interesting thing was e match-up between zidane & ronaldinho as well as figo with deco. interestingly, zidane still win e 1 on 1 battle with ronaldinho just like figo did with deco. perhaps 1 can argue dat both e younger players r showing respect 2 their older arch-rivals. but zidane & figo were e ones who make real look abit more special on a nite where they looked so lousy. zidane threatened e goal more convincingly while figo ran thru defences just like e good old days. yet, they r definitely aged & slower compare 2 ronaldinho & deco.

well, i guess tis year barca should not have any excuses if they finish e season empty-handed. they have ronaldinho, deco, guily, eto'o, belletti & xavi. these r e players who can win all e best titles europe has 2 offer. they have no excuses unless they r heavily obstructed by suspensions, injuries & off-forms. if not, they should get e la liga title & e champions league title with ease. they have e real GALATICOS, not e aged galaticos of e past of real madrid. david beckham? he can just sell jerseys, he is a business buy, not a football buy. he is not 2 me worthy 2 b called a galatico. a true galatico will shine in big matches against big opponents. i heard larsson will b out 4 e rest of e season when he injured himself on e pitch. i dun c dat affecting barca since he is not really dat dangerous & effective.

newcastle seemed 2 b back 2 their winning ways again now dat real lost. interestingly, e forms r alwiz going e opposite ways most of e time 4 both of them. champions league footie tis wed & thurs. probably some more confirmations of going 2 e next phase 4 many clubs.
