Madrid vs Barca

[GuZzZ]

Long 4 month wait, but finally these two back at it. Real is on fire in all competitions right now, but Messi and Villa step up and I think they win @Madrid

[The Real Messi]

Barca all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Real Messi]

Messi can't be stopped!

[Kyle]

I hope Real rolls them and they start Benzema over Higuain. These "clasicos" blew last season and the last good one i can remember is when Ronaldinho torched Real for i think 3 goals.

Madrid 2
Barca 1

clasicos blew last season??? The fighting, eye poking, red cards wasnt exciting enough?

Too many cards. But to see pussy soccer players bitching at each other and the refs gets old quick. The eye poke was comical but the play itself sucked.

I don't think Barca is starting Cesc. Must be nice to be able to leave a guy like that on the bench.

[Forca Barca]

When Messi scored a hat trick against them was ridic.

[Kyle]

Ahh, i remember that game now.

I will say though for the most part El Clasico is usually good bc the scores and whoever wins usually flip flops pretty dramatically.

la liga sucks now. everyone moving to italy or premiership. how can a league only be good for 1 game out of the year.
Messi is an animal. When he's on barca he's greatest soccer player in the world, and not even a close call either, but real and ronaldo are playing pretty good now too


barcelona 3
real 2

messi, villa, messi
ronadlo, di maria

barcelona 5
real 0

last year was great to see.

[stefanm3]

I would choose the Premier league vs. Calcio.
way too much talent in Manchester city, Man U, Arsenal Etc.

[GuZzZ]

I don't understand why Valdes needs to get cute with the ball..........but other than that, it was a great win for Barca.

[train wreck]

poor display by madrid...i actually thought this game was going to be close

[The Real Messi]

Iniesta was an animal! Best game I seen him play in a long time..

[Kyle]

I missed most of the game but wtf was Valdes thinking especially that early on??

This isn't hating on Messi at all but this was a good article about how he sometimes plays too cautious.

I need to make it to The Bernabeau. Already went to a game at Old Trafford but next on my list is the Old Firm game Rangers at Celtic.

he did what he wanted when he wanted (in 2nd half)
best game he's had in years

[GuZzZ]
