Anyone else watching Barcelona vs Arsenal right now?

Halftime -

Arsenal 1

Barcelona 0

Red Card - Arsenal Lehman (GK)

Looks like its going to be a controversial game, as Lehman was sent of with a straight red when the ref should have allowed advantage, and then a dive at the other end sets up a goal from a set piece for Sol Campbell
 
well, i don't feel lick watching to the end (its late night here, silly timezone thing) so please someone post the end result
 
Shitty refereeing, but Barca probably deserved the win. Rijkaards subs won it for them as well.

Not quite as exciting as last year, wish the ref had given advantage and left arsenal with 11 men.
 
No, they would still have had 11. If the ref had plyed advantage and given Giuly's goal, then Lehmann wouldn't have been sent off 'cos he didn't stop a scoring opportunity.....
 
Exactly, I'd have preferred arsenal to be 1-0 down and have 11 men than be 0-0 with 10. It changed the dynamic of the game completely.

The ref shouldn't have given the free kick that resulted in Arsenals goal either, massive dive.
 
What I was saying is that the Lehmans shouldn't have been carded, if advantage had been played the goal would have been given and he wouldn't have been sent off.
 
This was a great game and I also disagree with lehmann getting sent off. They should have let that go with advantage.

Either way arsenal played their hearts out and Henry missed a goal around the 60th minute that he should have made. That could have sealed the game for Arsenal. Props to barcelona though
 
yea it was pretty poor officiating. lehmann should have only gotten a yellow and play should have continued. Even after that it weemed like barca deserved a lot more free kicks outside the box. But whatever they still won cause henrick larsson is god.
 
Lehmans couldn't have got yellow, either it was play advantage and nothing or foul and red, don't think it could've gone any other way.
 
ronaldhino is so sick, won footballer of the year, the world cup is going to be awesome-i like the new gatorade commercials about the US team. they are in a super hard group though: italy, czhecoslovakia, and ghana; they could have a hard time getting out of the first round
