I mean I would've targeted one of the midfielders cars but still, that's crazy. Then again, Bale's car does have a history of fighting with fans. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/football/video-1122975/Gareth-Bale-runs-fans-foot-tries-picture.html

Real has a great chance at the league, since they will be done with champions in the end of April, have slightly easier teams left to play and won't have to face Atlético at their home right after the last semi game. (Which will probably be Atlético)

Some advanced stats from The Economist: http://www.economist.com/blogs/gametheory/2015/03/statistical-analysis-football Turns out Ronaldo's last two balloon doors don't count and Messi was the best player in those years also.

Gold and a Pager posted:Can you paste the text? The Economist only lets you see like 2 free articles a month It's very long. It contextualizes goals with a stat called Expected Points Added. Basically a goal scored in the 90th minute to break a tie is more important than one of those dumb penalties Ronaldo gets after Bale puts them up 3-0. The gist of the article is Messi scores more important goals, especially at the World Cup, where he actually attended. They also try to account for the importance of the game. Here is its conclusion. quote:Nonetheless, as a purely backwards-looking, descriptive measure, observers who point to Mr Messi’s return to the top of the goal leaderboard as evidence that he has at last rediscovered his form after a pair of disappointing-by-his-standards campaigns are mistaken. Mr Messi has indeed been the world’s most valuable goal scorer this year. He was also the world’s most valuable goal scorer in 2014, and in 2013, and (as is well-known) during the four years before that. The Ballon d’Or voters may have suffered from “Messi fatigue” for their past two selections. Supporters of Barcelona and Argentina, however, most surely have not.

quote:Only when this element of context is taken into account does Mr Messi’s superior performance fully reveal itself. After factoring in the importance of a match, Mr Messi pulls away with a 59.5 weighted EPA in 2013 and 2014 (an average of 0.69 per goal), compared with 50.4 for the Ballon d’Or winner (an average of 0.48). By EPA alone, Mr Messi’s most valuable goal during the past two years was a 91st-minute winner on neutral turf. But he delivered this coup de grace not to a lowly opponent in La Liga, but rather to Iran in the group stage of the World Cup, a match that attracts 4.7 times more interest. He also scored twice, breaking a tie both times, in Argentina’s match against Nigeria four days later. In contrast, Mr Ronaldo only found the net once during the Cup, against Ghana. And even that goal had a marginal impact: although it was the deciding score in the match, Portugal needed a four-goal swing relative to the United States to advance out of its group. As a result, Mr Ronaldo’s yeoman effort did nothing to prevent his countrymen from heading home early. If that match were treated as reducing a four-goal deficit to three, Mr Ronaldo’s EPA for the two years would collapse to 43.6, 27% lower than Mr Messi’s. that's some win e: Mr Messi Mean Bean Machine fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Mar 25, 2015 |

No the alleged deal is ten million total for the three years, plus an additional ten if he stays/lasts a fourth. The deal is sweetened since they are getting him a coach license training for free. That is, if any of it isn't just another made up transfer rumor story.

The LFP are doing everything in their power to try to get a fair TV deal for the teams so the league can sell the TV rights as a whole rather than each team selling their rights separately but first they need the approval of the RFEF, they were supposed to meet today but the RFEF didn't show up. http://www.marca.com/2015/03/26/futbol/1427393716.html

I can't picture him dressed in an overcoat and wearing high-tops with white soles. he should manage the B team. He can teach all the youngsters about honour and how to make triangles. Wouldn't want him at the top level. The guy seems to committed too tiki-taka and would sign Scholes and Pirlo to man the midfield.
