Europa League - Semi Finals

I have no idea, Lrd. I don't watch superliga or Benfica. But he looks wasteful so far..

Good old Aimar would have controlled that on his day !

Benfica are awesome but stupid they are making great openings them fucking them up at the crucial moment. if that black fella heads it across Cardoza has a tap in though on earlier evidence he woulda missed it anyway.

yeah. Nice end-to-end game so far..

Kuyt almost got a high boot like his mate Babel got earlier in the game..

Pity Gerrard, Torres, and Kuyt are facking runners.. If they had more creative ability, Liverpool would be able to compensate Alonso...

They are ridiculously quick and skillful. Good thing is we have plenty of space to counter if Babel, Gerrard and Torres can put a good move together which surely they will over the 90 minutes

Negatives are that Mascherano and Lucas are too cowardly to turn around and face the opposition goal to actually move the ball forward. They are even too cowardly to move up and give the wide players options when they are in trouble. All they do is pass it backwards to the defence who drop deeper and deeper until the hoof. Mascherano and Lucas are a perfect example of exactly how not to operate in centre midfield.

Di Maria hits it well, just over the crossbar..

Luisao is crazyyyy

Now the ref ruins the game

Torres drawing a foul and a yellow card.. Stupid tackle..

Well played Babel, you fucking mong.

Stupid stupid stuff from Babel..

Big Man Babel you dick

It's all kicking of!

surprised you're not complaining about the ref COTR

The commentators are retarded it took them 3 minutes to work out he sent off Babel. You think Pool players are complaining about Luisao being sent off terrible decision.

Mayhem and confusion at Estadio de Luz. Handbags between Luisao and Babel after a coming together, Babel stuck a hand in Luisao's face twice. Luisao was shown a yellow card twice and and a red and looked to have been sent off until 4th official intervened and Babel was sent off instead

Europa league thursday fixture with 10 men for 1 hour more..Really not what Liverpool need to get top 4 in the league..

I still don't understand what happened.

Sent off for touching the guy on the face ?

Has football really come to this ?

What did he do?

By the way Standard deserved 0-1 up at HSV Mbokani header. Amazing they finsihed 7th in Belgium this season.

No fucking way! Torres goal disallowed.

These officials are a mess

Yes it seems like those two touches of the face did it. Certainly harsh.

Stupid from Babel though, considering the ref was right there.

Luisao terrible tackle on Torres. Babel and Luisao grapple as Babel tries to get ball. Babel puts his hand on Luisao's face to try to push him away. Luisao does the same, then Babel touches his face again.


We've just scored a goal which was very harshly ruled out for offside

Now how is that a freekick?

The refs showing the April fools spirit is the only rational explanation for what we have seen so far

Horseface is slowly getting in WC-shape...

How the fuck was that a yellow ?
