You said you were in a wreck. I inferred that you didn't have access to the game because of that - no waffling at all (in fact, it was a reasonable assumption to make based on what you said).

Who cares who posessed the ball more? Germany had ridiculously small time of possession against Argentina and England in the World Cup last year and destroyed both of them - that's just how Barca plays. Also, LOL at your "offsides" and "corners" comment. I was talking about shots and shots on goal.

As for them playing poorly for a half and not losing, I'd say it says they were lucky. I've seen plenty of teams get completely dominated in a game and still end up winning (think Spain vs Switzerland last summer). Sometimes the breaks just go your way, and that seems to have happened a lot lately with Barca. That doesn't take anything away from what's been accomplished, but it doesn't go unnoticed either.

I see what you mean.

As I said in the aforementioned post, stats really don't matter to me much at all, I was actually just bringing up statistics up in response to you saying,"look at the stats". Not to sound bad in a parallel referencing to something so serious, but it doesn't matter who wins the battle(stat sheet), it matters who won the war(game).

I know what you meant.

I understand this. I follow the old saying,"luck is when preparation meets opportunity", when it comes to sports and that is just a part of the game.

It's not uncommon for every team to have a bad stretch. RM could have taken advantage of them when they were down, but that didn't happen. Just as you will defend your team, I'll defend mine. Again, I don't like some RM players(Marcelo), but I have respect for some(Ozil,Sergio Ramos,Casillas,Kaka). Fortunately, for you and I, they will have many more matches to come.
