its not an unselfish act and crap but imo disrespectful

the poor gk is waiting to dive the right side of goalpost and when he dives they do that.....that's a nightmare for keepers......and if this trend picks up ,gk's wil be so easily outclassed.....thats unfair....when cryuff,pires& henry combo did it there wasnt this much social media ....but now lol this will spread like wildfire :P

 

anyways found this on twitter .......... i'm not a hater of messi/suarez but im posting this here,it maybe true,nothing has been written about by FA or Fifa though

 

 

 

THE CURVED part of the 'D' is an arc of a circle, of radius 10 yards, centred on the penalty spot. When a penalty is taken only the penalty taker and the opposing goalkeeper (who must stay on his line until the ball is struck) are allowed in the penalty area. Every other player must be outside the area, and at least 10 yards from the ball. The 'D'marks the part of the pitch outside the penalty box which is closer to the penalty spot than 10 yards, into which players must not encroach before the kick. It is usually called the D. http://www.theguardian.com/notesandqueries/query/0,5753,-2733,00.html

 

The reason for the ‘D’ shaped area outside the penalty box on a football pitch is there for a specific reason.

When a penalty is awarded, only the penalty taker and the goalkeeper are allowed in the penalty area.Every other player must be at least ten yards from the ball. So the penalty area serves as an exclusion zone but it doesn’t cover the area immediately behind the ball.Consequently, the ‘D’ or as its known ‘the penalty arc’ marks the area of the pitch that is ten yards from the penalty spot.

The keeper's job is to dive and save a direct shot. In cases of passes like this (or rebounds, etc.) it is the defenders who must run in and prevent the others from taking shots.

I won't blame the keeper for letting in this goal. He dived to the correct side and immediately realised what was happening and tried to prevent Suarez's shot. Messi and Suarez didn't do anything wrong in attempting this strategy (except for the encroachment by Suarez). What were all the defenders doing? Even here we see 3 defenders standing to the left, doing nothing, not marking anyone.

This will just be a one time thing.. Its just that they caught everyone by surprise.. Next time onwards, opponents and even refs will keep a watch for such tricks.. And it is getting so much interest since it was done by one of the best team/players of the world which was most probably not expected..

 

Anyways in midst of all this, now another report claims that the pass was for neymar and not suarez..

It boggles my mind when one has great life, million dollars, partner, weekly pay, etc; but then goes out and does some low life level shite with a teen. I mean..just why?

 

He also turned dad last month. What an idiotic thing to do and ruin his career and life. JslxJJE.gifgKO9cmk.gif

he has no reason to sign with United as Spurs are likely to qualify for CL and they have the best home grown talent in the league and they are all pretty young. Giggsey will most likely take over from LvG.

 

Also, its going to be really tough for you lot and us to make it to top 4. The league will not be a four horse race as all the teams are getting insane TV contract money from next season.

 

Yeah more or less, unless one of the 4 has a monumental collapse which looks rather unlikely. PL is getting even more insane with each passing season, maybe a bit short on quality but entertaining still. Arsenal must be the favourites now, golden chance they have this year

 

But re the manager, Giggs? Surely someone else must be lined up, it could be a Neville-Valencia situation with that MO. He has no experience tbf

The lure of young "cat synonym" :P

It's also about the mental strength to show some restraints
