IMO that was a handball and it wasnt even unintentional. He lifted his arm.

honestly, I really don't think that was a hand ball at the end. When you watch the replay you can see that the ball hits him in the back of the shoulder, not anywhere near the elbow, arm, or hand.

In reality the refereeing was worse for Barca, the red card, after watching the replay was total crap, he didn't even touch the attacking player.

you have to give it to Barcelona for playing tough until the very end even down a man.

Man U is taking this one though!

Chelsea wins on AGG.
On to Spain!

[delatlanta1281]

It was, Chelsea looked ok first half, but they outplayed liverpool in the second hands down. Terry is out next match though, but Carvahlo should be back to play in his place.

I saw first half. Was an awesome game.

[delatlanta1281]

NICE! 3-1 Chelsea over Liverpool. Looks like 6 days til we win and move to Spain.

I don't understand what you are trying to say... if you are going to rely on officiating and the rest of the bullshit factors, then your screwed anyways! The game is won with gols, more scored than conceded (to remind you). In the end, score and score as much as possible. Very few outcomes are swayed by anything less.

Fuck all that bullshit officials, altitude, rest bullshit! You must have watched a completely different game. Did you not see the 3rd goal? That was pure hustling! Where did the officials come in there?

[delatlanta1281]

Looks to me like there was only one factor in that game.... bad officials.
But alas, you're right, a win is a win. And Brasil won.

[Maluco]

Looks to me like you only scored one legit goal, if you count a PK as legit. I hope to hell the linesmen in 2010 aren't sleeping like they were in that game. As far as I am concerned Brasil should have won 6-nil. Piss poor showing IMO. You guys are supposed to be the best, and all you can do is count goals that were due to bad line calling?
Sad. I fear for you in the world cup. If you play like that against Italy or England, or even the Netherlands, you will get smoked.
EDIT. Actually, the PK was crap as well. The keeper was BARLEY beat.

I fear for all teams in the World Cup. While the standars are held very high for Brasil, suffer no illusions, there are many factors that come into play in any one given game. We won 3 to 0, should have won 6 to 0, played very well together and the fact still stands, we won. A win is a win, a loss on the other hand is shit, ask Argentina.

Italy??? We beat them 2 to 0 a month ago, where were you? They also just drew against Ireland... Yeah, England and Holland are terrifying...
