Do anyone else got bored of the way Barcelona plays???

Phillth · 04-12-11, 05:46 PM

you must be joking.

JOHON8 · 04-12-11, 07:07 PM

They play the most beautiful football in history, with the greatest player in history.

waco66 · 04-12-11, 07:34 PM

^^^ what Johon said.

I've seen almost every Barcelona game this season...and i must say I do not get bored. I might get frustrated watching at times...but when you watch how other teams plays, you realize how good Barcelona really is. Be happy, you may never see another team like this.

OGUCCI-SBR · 04-12-11, 07:43 PM

Do I agree ? Well, No.
Do I understand what he's trying to say ? Yes.

I got bored of it.
What do you think Guardiola? that you are a genious??
Let me say what your teams play is.
It is an headache for people who wants to see some football action.

I'll translate for the forum...."I had the fukkin Over...quit passing and put the ball on net...it's pissing me off that your passing when you should be shooting...fuk."

Ace_of_Spades · 04-12-11, 07:57 PM

Never. They represent whats good in soccer. United are bad.

FindTheLock · 04-12-11, 08:26 PM

I had the over and I was pissed neither team could finish, but Barcelona is still the best team in the world.

SportsMushroom · 04-12-11, 08:56 PM

todays game wasnt a good example of barcelonas capabilities

they had already qualified so they just wanted to pass the ball around until the game was over

Blax0r · 04-12-11, 09:03 PM

Yea, I'm sure they'll turn it back up for El Clasico; I enjoy watching them play.

Socrates · 04-12-11, 09:17 PM

I see where the op is coming, but I don't agree with him.

SprayBoy · 04-12-11, 11:31 PM

I think they just play a frustrating style for the opponent. Guess that can sometimes mean its boring with lack of crazy plays all the time, but to me they're fun to watch

Wulfman14 · 04-13-11, 12:11 AM

i bet the over yesterday, surprised only one goal was scored

Domestic · 04-13-11, 12:30 AM

Play to win, if the style that is working is boring, it is a problem with the sport not the team.

no problem with the sport, they played a fun first leg but maybe the second was dry, so what? lets wait until Man Utd play Barca in the final to decide about the overall sport

Looking forward to this.

I nominate this for thread of the year. OP, are you a Shaktar fan?

sjm5122 · 04-13-11, 12:37 AM

This guy had the over, for sure. I can understand his frustration, but what did they care if they scored 3-4 more goals?? They were content with drawing because they had such a large goal lead. Really not a good game to gauge their style of play.

VegasInsider · 04-13-11, 12:41 AM

Are you just saying this after watching the 2nd Leg today? Of course it wasn't going to be very entertaining, they had a 5-1 agg lead and extended it to 6-1 before HT.

Make sure you tune into Barca/Real...you'll get some beautiful futbol then. I'll also agree with a couple posters above that Barca plays the most beautiful futbol in the world and watching Messi is an honour every time he steps onto the pitch. Xavi gets overlooked, that's how good Messi is.

Stupid, aimless passes? You do know they pass the ball, to keep possession, which frustrates the other team, leading them to lose their shape? Also, these short, quick passes mean they keep running into space, thus moving the ball forward. Also, when they move into such space, they drag the opponent out of their position, which gives a chance to the other Barcelona player to run into that space. They play "tiki-taka" football at it's finest.

When a team clogs up the middle of the pitch, you will see Alves and Abidal making runs down the flanks on the right and left, and delivering crosses into the box.

There are so many ways for this Barcelona team to attack, it's unreal. Then you have geniuses like Iniesta, Xavi and Messi playing for them, who do extraordinary stuff, like some great dribbling, perfect through balls etc. Absolute joy to watch.

When you see a team like Barcelona, you can't help but applaud their style of play. Quick little passes, opening up play, through balls, stretching the game..whatever you want, this team will do. If you want to play at a fast pace, they will do so. And if they want, they can slow the game down to whatever pace they wish to.

As for Guardiola, I'm not alone in thinking he's a genius. Bringing in so many youth players, making them play such fantastic football and actually winning trophies. If that's not a genius, then who is?

Just be glad that you are able to watch this Barcelona team. It's going to be a while before we see another team like this, with such intricate passing and highly talented players.

danny901225 · 04-13-11, 12:54 AM

i dont get it.. i still love barcelona's games..

vincanity15 · 04-13-11, 03:32 AM

How dare you disrespect tika taka OP shame on you, my friend johan cruyff would be rolling in his grave if he read this.

i agree. not a good guage. guy does not understnd legs. and scoring.

o well. he lost his wager for sure.

Nyphra · 04-13-11, 04:20 AM

Yesterday was Guardiola's pragmatic approach to football.... but it was still watchable which you can't say of Madrid.

axa · 04-13-11, 05:03 AM

The best soccer play in the world!!

aceking · 04-13-11, 05:50 AM

Man U wins at Wembley , Barca will lose if they continue this type of negative football.

AbleFollow · 04-13-11, 06:06 AM

I was bored.. and ununderstandable line.. as a result - under in the match

jordigs · 04-13-11, 06:37 AM

Sometimes can be boring (never if you are Barça fan

) but there are some epic matchs. I think the best football game the Barça - Arsenal of the last champions league. It was a draw, but.. what an incredible 1st half...

How the **** is it negative if they've scored more than 110 goals this season already? FFS, some people need their heads checked.

Oh, and if Man Utd play Barcelona, they will be found out for the average team they are.

TT22 · 04-13-11, 01:33 PM

Barcelona is just great. That's that really...

leon · 04-13-11, 03:40 PM

What a thread!!Makman,are you serious?

mihaita666 · 04-13-11, 04:13 PM

Barcelona is the most beautiful team from this sport , at least since I am watching it. Messi will be the best player in the world after he retires. valuable opinion among this thread.

latinrus · 04-13-11, 05:03 PM

honestly I'm tired of it (and please don't say that I'm biased I don't like either the way Madrid plays).

I just prefer a more how to say, faster football! I really don't like when Barca has the ball for so long on the game and going nowhere!

In fact I also didn't like when Spain did that on the WC. I was really hoping for a Germany win but they couldn't do it.

But I admite at times Barca game is nice! Especially when they do it faster.
But I think that also depends a lot of the team that is playing against! If the team finds the way to desperate Barca they'll start to play a little different! Little faster!

In any case I know people will say I'm biassed
