Henry's goals tells the whole story!
this guy is irrisistable when he pushes in from midfield, as he always did in Arsenal, unfortunatly Barcelona dominating style doesn't allow him to play this way so much.
but he is certainly gaining more and more of his self confidence and luster.. comming days will reveal a lot.
Good and Well done Iniesta for that superb goal !!! Henry too deserves a compliment but you have to pull your socks to play the same when in Barcelona.
The spain video isn't working...
can anyone bring a good one?
being Belgian, that was quite a frustrating match against Spain. They didn't deserve the win. We played out best match in years but it wasn't to be (ref didn't help much either by ruling out a perfectly good goal).
PEP PLS do not use the holy name of MACEDONIA for that nation that do not know even the language that ALEXANDER THE GREAT spoke. their name is F.Y.R.O.M. or SKOPIA do not use the name MACEDONIA. PLS is not fair for our ancenstors. THANX.
Iniesta's goal was just sick. Absolutely sick. Henry's best (of his brace) goal was almost a duplicate of his Atletico goal, just not as good. But still, he's looking really good these days. He gets his shot off so quickly, which is always a sign for him.
And can somebody please explain to me how the hell Iniesta got that ball into the net?
Everybody knows them as Macedonia, Anony. Nobody uses FYROM outside your regio, so to avoid confusion (and with no political purpose whatsoever), the logical thing is to call them Macedonia at this place.
