Ugh ruined my mood for the whole day. Atleast messi got the golden ball award, but he wasn't happy at all.

Yeah, it looked like he was a bad loser. They deserved 2nd place.

No they deserved first

the last time they won a world cup was 24 years ago I think. I blame the manager for subbing off lavezzi and higuain :/

They deserve it solely on the fact that they haven't gotten one in a while, then?

I was just thinking that.

Plus they were nowhere near as good as many other teams throughout the competition, they were steady and solid, nothing special. They were lucky to get some late goals due to having the best player in the world playing for them.

Umm...ok.So being a steady and solid team and having the best player in the world isn't considered special then?

Are Argentina '86 considered "special"? No. They are considered an average team dragged through by the brilliiance of Maradona. Steady and solid doesn't mean special in any language I know.

It's a TEAM sport, not a "one best player" and the other players sport.

Ironic considering most of the teams these year was one best player and others.

You know what's funny? I get the EPL for free where as ENGLISH people have to pay for it.

Went to watch Kerala Blasters vs Atletico De Kolkata yesterday.

Luis Garcia had his phantom goal disallowed in the last minute. This time it clearly crossed the line but the referee didn't have a clear look at the incident and so the game was allowed to continue.

Went to watch Kerala Blasters vs Chennaiyin FC, semi finals, first leg.

I thought seeing Nesta in person was the highlight of my visit but no, it has to be this goal.

Also, there were about 61,000 people in that stadium.

Check out Sampdoria's unconventional and wildly experimental 0-0-10 formation.

Of course, it didn't work out for them and they ended up losing by 3 nil.

Exactly 7 years ago today I was at Wembley Stadium to see Hull City get promoted to the Premier League for the first time in their history.

But that's not the only time that May 24th has been lucky for us. On the final day of the 2008-09 season, we needed to match or better the result of Newcastle United to avoid the drop. Although May 24th 2009 ended in a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United, the football gods shone on City again, Newcastle could not fare any better against Aston Villa when losing 1-0 and safety was secured. By the narrowest of margins, we managed to stay up by a point.

In a bizarre twist of fate, the Red Devils will again be the opponents who determine the Tigers' fate when they arrive at the KC Stadium today. And it is Newcastle who are again battling against City to stave off the dreaded drop.

The odds may be against us but I believe we can do it, I HAVE to believe we can do it, it's our lucky day! A win coupled with a Newcastle defeat will again see us stay up by a single point.

Today is going to be emotional no matter what happens. Keep dreaming, and keep believing

ManU took Di Maria out too early in my opinion.

So what happens since it was a tie, msg?
