Subject: El Clasico

Here we go again!

I'm hoping to see some more pain and anguish on Mourinho's face.

Enjoy the game! I hope you guys get to watch it.

More of the same!

Barcelona is far too superior. Madrid has to be very very sharp and Barcelona has to be in a bad day to actually loose.

In this game Madrid got a gift from the keeper, also Messi, Xavi, Cesc didnt have a good game, Iniesta was mediocre, and still Barcelona deserved to win by more than a goal.

The next game is going to be interesting, Madrid forced to go and score at least 2 goals.

Real, classy as always.

I think you mean, "Pepe, classy as always".

Maybe so, I didn't see the game, but the culture surrounding the club since Mourinho took over seems to breed that kind of thing.

Sore losers, no honor, no sportsmanship etc etc...

And you think Barcelona do? Or am I just reading too far into things.

meh, outside of Busquets making a meal of some challenges I don't really think there's a comparison.

What I mean really is this: in the games I watched it looked like Barca really came to play football and Madrid either came out from minute one looking to kick them off the field or came to play, realized they couldn't, and started fouling out of frustration and pettiness.

The only thing you can say against Barcelona is that in that one game they did a lot of play acting, but really that was the one game where Real came out right from the start looking to leave marks in every challenge. If I came out to play ball and ended up getting kicked left and right I don't think I'd be above wanting to do some acting to get the pricks sent off either.

To Barcelona's credit a lot of the play acting stopped after that one game. Real toned it down some too, being on top of the table has helped their ego, but this latest stamp is not to their credit.

They still haven't shown that they can

A. Beat Barca. or
B. look like full grown men while losing to Barca.

Spot on.
