rooney got way behind everyone but was unjustly ruled offsides, very very little chance that wouldn't have been a goal, if that flag stays down
no, keep in mind halftime is mostly commercials, but the only thing they do in live play is those stupid world soccer shop 'banner ads' or whatever you wanna call them where they squish the screen/distort the 4:3 ratio to put them in.
Probably also why the number one reason soccer hasn't caught on with american media outlets tbh watson
Mehhhh....they find other ways to get sponsorship in. Hence the jerseys, all along the sides of the field, shit like that.
Is there a bigger bitch in world football than Drogba? Looked like he had been hit by buckshot after that challenge.
Fuck Drogba. Gets up milking the injury, and then no limping or nothing when the ref gives him the yellow card. Suddenly, his ribs didn't hurt and he regained his strength to scream at the ref, which you do not do if you have an internal injury. Biggest faggit in the world, and I don't know how anyone can even remotely like that piece of shit.
You don't think it was more than obvious that he was faking the entire time? He was acting like his ribs were broken when he stood up, and then no less than 7 seconds later he is walking normally and screaming at the ref... Then, he had enough strength to drag the United defender down on Chelsea's goal.
Wow, this match has made me hate Chelsea, and I had no problem with them due to Ancelotti being there coach. The last 5 minutes is why people in America hate the sport. Drogba acts like he has been assassinated, and then two minutes later Carvalho is faking an injury after just being tripped at midfield.
yea that was excessive, but I'm still sayin it was a bullshit tackle and should have been a yellow at minimum for Evans. I think Evans should be out of the game.
