Damn, Messi just hit a hatrick against Real at the Bernabeu.

Back in 2010 they thrashed Real 5 nil, game safi with Mou in charge. Ama hiyo si game kubwa?

Why do opponents choose to foul Barca? Sergio was supposed to foul Neymar then what?
Iniesta was "played" and a penalty was not supposed to be called?
Ronaldo's penalty with contact happening outside the box?

The thing is, if you are skillful, you will be hacked down and that's what happens to Barca.
For teams like Stoke City,they would be lucky to get one.

The better you are, the more chances of everything, INCLUDING penalties you get.

BTW I have nothing against Messi. One day he may prove me wrong by showing he is better than Maradona and Pele. In fact I sincerley hope he leaves Barca to go play in the EPL or Serie A. Lets see what he can do against those Italian defenders who know every trick in the book.

And I can hardly wait to see what he does in the WC against good teams. In the first round he will play against Bosnia and Iran whom I dont think will offer much resistance. But the game against Naija could be interesting. Last time, Naija and especially Victor Enyeaama effectively bottled and foiled Messi.

Oh and the person who said the World Cup is no longer the premier tournament should share that Janjaweed he is smoking
