Santos - Barca

[Medulla]

Anyone watching the World Club Championship?

Barca winning 3-0 at HT and have had the cigars out since the first goal. Poor Neymar's had the ball about 3 times.

Just stuck the second half on. Twitter and the commentators wanking themselves silly over Barca. Did anyone really expect a South American side to get anywhere near them? Was always going to be fairly routine.

I expected them to get closer than they did, aye. It was like watching the 1974 Holland side play Southend. It looked like Barca were flitting in and out of worm holes.

I did miss the first half tbf. I just assumed Barca would piss all over them. South American sides aren't what they were.

Some decent flashes in the last few minutes from Neymar mind. Some outrageous skill down the left side of the box there.

In fairness, Santos have come into the game more second half, in the sense that they seem to recognise that Barca are playing football and not some new game they're unfamiliar with.

Neymar is a cut above anything else in their team but he was so starved of the ball in the first half that the few times he did get it you felt he was trying to recreate the Nike airport ad on his own.

But would he do it on a wet...etc. etc.

xavi has had a pass suucces rate today of 100% - and fantastic piece of skill for 1st goal and scored the second. When he goes- who can fill his shoes???
