Would've preferred to see Higuain play in the EPL, but I'm glad to see he's going to a club where he'll get the appreciation and first team football he deserves. He'll definitely net over 25 goals in the Serie A this season. Also, where are you guys hearing these Aguero to Madrid rumors?

Yeah, he'll definitely rack up a nice goal tally for the season. As for the rumors, I remember seeing them pop up on twitter a while ago. Suarez or Aguero would go to Real. More of fan speculation I think

Aguero stories came up when reports said he wasn't happy under Mancini at City. That was near the end of last season though...

Bayern look like they haven't been on holiday....so fluid and good understanding of each other...

 

[Sinner]

How have Barca not scored???

They really do, so scary

Aguero would do great things at Real. Atletico fans would be so hurt

 

[lucho]

I'm surprised it's only 1-0.

Anyway, a few photos from the 2 games tonight... 

Although the conditions were horrible (downpour), it was still a lot of fun. Not often you get 3 EPL teams in town... 4 if you count Utd. on Monday for a stand-alone exhibition.

Sorry for the photo-spam 

Incredible save by Brad.



Di Canio letting the ref know it wasn't offside... 

Citeh vs South China.



Lol @ Nasri getting boooo'd on EVERY touch.



Cheeky backheel.

 

[fear the ibis]

CR7 took a free-kick that went wide and apparently it hit a boy and he broke his arm...I don't know the exact details but something along that line. But he sent him this

CR WOULD break an arm on a freekick. His power is insane

RM getting rid of Gonzalo surely means Bale is on his way...or atleast Aguero/Suarez

Good stuff SinnerP!

That black/gold MC kit is nice.

 

[eiddyfouw]

The way Bayern are whippin these crosses in, and finding their targets, I can't believe it's still 1-0

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Nice SinnerP! Looks like you had great seats

I always forget you live in the homeland I miss that place, hopefully I'll be there during the winter

So this is what Barca B without Eusebio looks like. 

 

[eiddyfouw]

Too easy....

 

[mastamind89]

Who crossed that Contento?
Barca fans, how you guys rate Dongou? Don't know much about him except for some youtube clips

"Luis Suarez will be allowed to hold talks with Arsenal but Liverpool have no intention of selling their striker until his £50m-plus valuation is met."

I can't wait until he matures a bit more and gets on the first team. He's a natural goal scorer. Super fast for his size and very strong. If all goes well, he will be equivalent to Samuel Eto'o, maybe even better.

So this is what Barca B without Eusebio looks like. 

I had the exact same thought sitting here watching the stream at work. Espinosa stood out for me, really circulated the ball well. Would've liked to see Samper get some run.

He has the potential to be world class, and I hope he reaches that level, but those expectations are a bit much to put on him. I've heard it before, and it's a natural comparison considering his background, but Sammy is probably the greatest African footballer of all time. Let's let Jean be Jean.

[hugebird]

DD is basically a diety to me, but I give the nod to Sammy over Didier. Beyond his goal scoring record, he is probably the most accomplished African player ever. That being said, for me, Sammy and George Weah battle it out for the top spot in my book.

 

[eiddyfouw]

Nah son, Eto'o is that dude. I'm a fan of Drogba, but one can't deny the beast that Eto'o is/was

 

[abovelegit1]

Drogba is a great, but Sammy's incredible resume speaks for itself. And there's also the fact that his versatility allowed him to play a bunch of positions from wingback to CF.

Weah's up there too, but he wasn't as consistent as Sammy.

 

[quik1987]

I feel as though Arsenal could have done much more with whatever they're going to spend on Suarez.

 Sammy ruled the CF position when he was with Barca. He killed everyone and anyone that tried to defend him. That quick turnaround shot was always a gem to see.

 

[jada2001retro]

Drogba > Eto'o.

This is my thought as well. Plus we have still have other positions to fill.

Arsenal and United clearly suffer from the same problem right now, trying to secure a big name to show fans and potential transfers, that they mean business.

Napoli has a strong looking squad on paper...
