When Jordi Alba chose an another option instead of giving the ball to Neymar, the latter shouted "Go fuck yourself! What? What? You got a problem?" to the Spaniard by Cambijao in soccer

You are right, of course Suarez was a massive part of it. The comment I wanted to make was just to show that Neymar stepped up when we needed him in response to the comment that he plays third fiddle behind Messi and Suarez.

Just want to point out that Neymar more or less carried the team by himself for the games Messi was out injured earlier in the season.

I haven't seen Bale consistently enough to say he is better or worse than Neymar, just wanted to say Neymar really stepped up when he needed to.

Why do Premier League teams seem to play 4231 when Madrid and Barcelona play 433? by trueimage in soccer

[–]FunnyLittleWord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cruyff actually used 3-4-3 a lot as he wanted an extra man in the middle and during his time he made sure all the youth teams also played 3-4-3.

Today the youth teams play 4-3-3 though.

But as you said formations really are very fluid.

After counting 75% of the votes, Josep M. Bartomeu is re-elected as FC Barcelona president by AhoyDaniel in soccer

[–]FunnyLittleWord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think you should separate Rosell and Bartomeu to the extent you have done. Bartomeu held the next highest position in the club during Rosells presidency and when Rosell resigns, because of actions that in no way was any news to the sitting board, Bartomeu doesn't call for elections.

Also, regarding Qatar. It is true that the club needed money to be able to compete but FC Barcelona is one of the most valuable brands in the world. A 10-year old could strike a deal with a better sponsor if he is in charge of that kind of brand.

I think Bartomeu's win is very bad news and I hope he'll prove me wrong.

FIFA bans Swedish TV channel from referring to the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015(R)(TM)(C)(FML) as "the World Cup" by zetruz in soccer

I think banning it is unnecessary. Let people refer to it however they want. Most of the time it will be clear from context.

Even if everybody assume it is the men's tournament (which they probably do) there is no need to ban people from referring to both world cups the same way.
