Mou Method to the madness
Is there a method to Mourinho's madness? ? Is his media persona a calculated ploy? Or does he just like the fact that his rivals hate him? That the press bashies him at every chance, and he gives them lots of chances. Could he really be that self absorbed and that blunt?
Stop the dives
There is a trend in todays game that i find repulsive and shameful. Players from all over the world taking dives and trying to trick refs into PK's and cards for other players. This tactic is a disgrace and the players who paractice this should be ashamed of them selves, and it shouldnt be tolorated by there clubs, fans and least of all the governing bodies of our sport.
Mou vs Pep
There has been a lot of comparing of Madrid and Barca of late, but I haven't seen anyone do one for the coaches. So lets take a shot at it. You can say what ever you want about there styles on the pitch there personalities are totally different.
Tech in Soccer
There has been a lot of talk about if FIFA should change the way we play the game and add some tech to help correct the mistakes that the refs make. The problem is that refs do make mistakes, and unfortunately they influence the game drastically. I know every fan has lost a game due to a ref (or at least we blame the ref). Here is the issue: we can’t break up the flow of the game to much. So what measures should we take?
Maradona vs. Messi
So I heard a commentator the other day say that Messi had to win a world cup before people could say he was better than Maradona. I think this is totally incorrect. People say that Maradona single handily won the 86 world cup and because Messi hasn't won one he isn't as good. Again that statement is wrong for a very simple reason:
How Madrid and Barca have hurt La Liga
It is clear to me that Madrid and Barca have hurt La Liga. I grew up watching a Liga where any team could win, where teams like Bilbao, Deportivo, Valencia, Sevilla and Atletico won titles. Now no one expects anyone but Madrid and Barca to win. Why is this? How come this hasn't happened in the other major leagues like the Premiership?
