It would have been nice to see Iniesta win it, but I'm not mad.

Sergio Ramos gets 5-match ban
Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos was handed a five-match ban Thursday for his sending off and subsequent reaction in Wednesday's Copa del Rey victory over Celta Vigo.
The Spain international was given his marching orders in the 72nd minute of the fixture after picking up a second yellow card before venting his feelings at the match officials as he left the pitch.
The Spanish Football Federation announced today that Ramos had been given a one-match ban for his dismissal and a further four-match suspension due to Article 94 of the RFEF's disciplinary code, which relates to "insulting, offending or showing an offensive attitude towards the referee... is punishable by a suspension of between four and 12 games."
Adding the automatic one-game ban for the red card, that would appear to mean Ramos faces at least five games out -- three in La Liga against Osasuna, Getafe and Valencia, and both Copa del Rey quarter-final legs against Valencia.
Ramos reacted angrily when he picked up his second booking for a dangerous challenge on Celta's Augusto Fernandez with 20 minutes of the game remaining. The referee's report filed by Ayza Gomez after the game reportedly said Ramos directed foul language at the officials, while accusing them of being biased against Madrid.
Madrid won the match 4-0 to progress through to the quarterfinals 5-2 on aggregate.
The Spanish authorities have taken a noticeably more serious approach to such offenses this season, with a recent precedent being the four-game suspension given to Espanyol forward Sergio Garcia for using the same word ('sinverguenza') towards referee Carlos del Cerro Grande in a Primera Division game against Osasuna. Ramos' offence was found to be similarly grave, with the fifth game of his ban being the automatic suspension for the initial red card.
Speaking directly after the game the Spain international told reporters that he felt the sending off had been unfair and could have cost Madrid the game.
"It was not a challenge for a second card," Ramos said. "I will not comment on the referee, because it is more of the same. I am leaving very annoyed, because the tie was in the balance and things like this happen. To see what happened you can watch the television."
Possibly realizing he was in trouble, Ramos later used his personal Twitter account to apologize for his actions.
"I regret the incident with the ref, these are moments of tension produced by my sending off," he tweeted. "We say things that afterwards we are sorry for."
Former Sevilla defender Ramos was already the most sent-off player in Madrid's history, and has now picked up 15 red cards in his seven and a half seasons at the Bernabeu.

never liked Sergio Ramos or marcello
If you ever want to see how Marcelo is both an asshole and a pussy, just look up Marcelo vs Cata Diaz. And Sergio's card tally speaks for itself.
And this is why fucking hate Brazilian players lately!

Let's see how fast it'll take Pinoleronicoya85 to bring us the match highlights of the Barca Vs Real Sociedad game
About as fast as it takes for the guy who uploads the videos...I don't vanish like other people on here. By the way, Barca is 11 points up on Atletico and 18 on Madrid. Sure it bothers me a bit that they lost, but it hardly matters.
Got any links? Because I believe the only way to watch it on my tv service is by paying some fee on pay-per-view.
All 32 matches will be on ESPN3.com live I heard

He's still young. He'll be fine in a year or so.
Kudos to Spurs for making a game of it. Point well deserved.
You right I just pains me to see it happen though. I feel like all the good he gains from the super saves like that 1:1 on Dempsey get thrown out by that though. You are right though he is young and def will become a top keeper just need to hit them weights.
Just one of the many hard judgements that come with being a goalkeeper. You can be a genius for 90 mins, but fuck around and cost 2 pts, and it's "off with his head."
Rumour mills are swirling today with DDG exiting, and either Valdes or Reina stepping in.
Ajax.
Gary Neville does a good job of breaking shit down and viewing the game differently. He keeps it 100 on this one especially at the end of part 2. But like you are saying DJ I think DDG will become a world class but he is learning at a top club where mistakes like this get magnified. I think he has the character where this will only make him stronger though.
Edit: Not sure why it put the video twice. It's a shame I need to go to bootcamp on how to post videos.
Well this is odd. A ballboy is writhing in apparent pain on the ground, seemingly after being bundled to the ground by Hazard, who then kicked the ball out from under him in a bid to get the game restarted as quickly as possible. The kid looks about 13. But tough. Chris Foy has consulted with his linesman. The outcome of this will be interesting ...
Hazard sent off!
For getting tangled up in a kerfuffle with a ballboy! Hot dang!

Hazard is a jackass for that. Professional etiquette should dictate you turn to Chris Foy and scream, "hey, look at this shit..."
Not kick the damn kid.
Bitch move.
Apparently this is the little bastard.
