barackohandso:I ain't saying this because things have been kinda not-so-smooth with Lucho. But, like I stated last season, I never have anything against Martino. Martino did great with the team and things went bad when he had to revert to the old system after the board, media, players and fans alike asked for his head for tinkering the team's way of playing. Although, he had other salient things he ought to learn, but in all even he wasn't as bad as this. We only lost 2 big matches last season (against the 2 Madrid sides) after besting Real home&away in the league. Seriously, I am yet to comprehend what Lucho is doing. Abeg, anybody fit explain Lucho work for Barca to me? |

Fifa only listen when Madrid do the talking As the two sodden sets of players trudged off the waterlogged field after Saturday’s second Club World Cup quarter-final in Rabat, alarm bells were already ringing. Six hours of incessant rain and two matches in quick succession had turned an already churned-up surface into a veritable mudbath. There was clearly no way it would be in any state to host another match on Tuesday, but then it was never really fit for the second game on Saturday either. There was, though, one crucial detail that differed between the two scenarios. On Saturday it was only Cruz Azul and Western Sydney Wanderers being affected. It didn’t matter to FIFA that it was sending out two sides to re-enact a game of water polo rather than play football. Who are those tiny clubs with their instantly forgettable players to doubt the mighty governing body’s motives? But Real Madrid are different. They have Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez and Iker Casillas. FIFA is willing to bend over backwards for them, and once word spread from Spain that Madrid were in touch with the governing body regarding a switch it was no surprise that confirmation soon followed. While it is the sensible decision to have moved Tuesday’s semi-final between Madrid and Cruz Azul to Marrakech, it came 24 hours too late for Tony Popovic’s Asian champions. "You can’t control nature: when it rains, it rains. But if the pitch had been up to standard it wouldn’t have mattered," the Australian coach complained immediately after his side’s 3-1 loss. And Popovic was exactly right. Even in Wednesday’s opener, under a cloudless sky after days of bright sunshine, the ball ran true only a small percentage of the time The pitch had not been correctly prepared for a major tournament, during which four games would be played in six days, despite the three years’ notice Moroccan officials were given of their hosting the competition. The customary pre-match training sessions were all moved away from the stadium, but that was never going to be enough. Popovic and Azul coach Luis Fernando Tena both expressed concern over the conditions before their head-to-head with the rain pouring down, but nobody paid any attention. It was only when Real Madrid piped up that FIFA listened. That should never be the way. It was clear to everyone that there was no way Ronaldo would be expected to attempt to play on that surface, especially not with further storms on the way. But why are Labinot Haliti or Hugo Pavone, Akram Djahnit or Tim Payne any different to Ronaldo? Each one of them has the same right as the Portuguese star to be presented with the best possible conditions in which to ply their trade, especially when this is meant to be the pinnacle of world club football. Semi-finalists Auckland City were even forced to check out of their Rabat hotel at the unusually early time of 9am on Sunday in order to give staff extra time to prepare the red carpet for Madrid’s arrival more than eight hours later. Ronaldo | He and Madrid are not entitled to special treatment Perhaps the New Zealand football federation should ask that FIFA’s bigwigs be treated with similar disdain when they arrive to oversee the Under-20 World Cup in the south pacific next June? Ronaldo might well be the best player in the world and Madrid the greatest club on the planet, but they have no more right to a flat, green surface and comfortable surroundings than anybody else. If the Rabat pitch was not good enough for Real Madrid, then neither was it good enough for the five teams that had already been sent out onto it. Real are blameless here - they have every right to raise their concerns, but smaller teams should also command FIFA's ear. Football is meant to be played on a level playing field, yet in more than one sense that has been proven not to be the case over the past week. FIFA has spent the last decade trying to promote the Club World Cup as the best of the best. Yet it leaves itself with impossibly short turnarounds, closing off routes for contingencies. It fails to recognise a dreadful pitch in good time for something to be done to rescue the integrity of the fixtures played on it. And it only listens when a select few holler. President Sepp Blatter bangs on regularly about the “football family”, but it is clear who FIFA’s favourite children are. http://m.goal.com/x/en/news/7090702 now i understand why refs are always against barca |

this draw Is just so disgusting! mtcheew! |
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Nobody: 12:25pm On Dec 15, 2014 |
Bad draw for us again! But we eliminated them last season. We would have to do it all over again |
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Baddestguyp(m): 12:27pm On Dec 15, 2014 |
dmcdad:easy road to final, this shìt is rigged, they want ronaldo to score plenty goals. barca with man city again. practically the strongest opponent we could meet while Madrid has the weakest |
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by homesteady(m): 12:29pm On Dec 15, 2014 |
let me guess - if we qualify for the next round, we'll meet atletico madrid again, and if Madrid qualify for the next round, they would meet the winner of basel vs porto! |

Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by Baddestguyp(m): 12:43pm On Dec 15, 2014 |
one thing I noticed is that FIFA clearly hates man city that's why we played them last season, even goal.com posted an article about this some months ago. and with the way they are against us now, its no surprise that the two teams they want out have to face each other so one must go out. I fear for our quarter final fixture if we make it through |

Well, you have all said what I came here to say; apparently it is so obvious even a Primary School kid will notice. "Draws" indeed. |
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by philfearon(m): 2:13pm On Dec 15, 2014 |
No offence here,but some comments here have gradually reduced to silly frustrations and unnecessarily childish..... Which one is Madrid is receiving favourable draws? which one is Uefa hates Barcelona? Maybe you guys have forgotten so easily that between 2009-2012,we were literally and ultimately termed Uefalona…… That's because we were favored then effortlessly!! ..... Maybe Shakter Donetsk who got Bayern Munich or Shalke04 who got Madrid should go hang themselves!! If reverse has been the case,we would be playing Chelsea now while PSG will face Man city!! 3 Likes |
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by logica(m): 2:21pm On Dec 15, 2014 |
philfearon:I don't know which favors you personally received from UEFA but I doubt Barca received any favors. Now when 2 clubs from the same country win their groups and both have EQUAL chances of being paired with clubs from other countries yet one keeps getting Manchester City, something is certainly wrong somewhere. Why didn't Real Madrid get PSG, Manchester City or Arsenal over 2 seasons? 1 Like |
Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by philfearon(m): 2:46pm On Dec 15, 2014 |
logica:When you were getting Olympiakos and Arsenal and Lyon and Bayer Leverkusen,while Madrid was getting Porto,Liverpool in the Knockout stages,it seemed fair then!! I don't want to start giving our hatets cause to attack us on,let me end here.......But here is an obvious one: Chelsea v Barcelona,2009@Stamford Bridge!! 1 Like |
