Lionel Messi : Decoded

So, for all you people who are slowly recovering from the fact that Messi missed a penalty and those Madridistas who are having a fiesta right now with all your pipas, adidas has released a new advert telling the secret to Leo Messi's success. Or is it?

Is it also a cheeky slap in the face at Nike after their "Write The Future" ad took the football world by storm and in the process, cursing the poor players (and Roger Federer) who all appeared as the main story line of the story i.e Rooney, Ronaldo, etc. ??

Or more directed at CR7 as well?

Someone on youtube pointed out this. "CR7 at 0:44 and 1:00" . Watch it. And Feel it.

Messi Never Dives! Take Note C-Ron

Maybe Lionel Messi was a diver during the old days where he was styling THAT long hair but now with a better and shorter crop, he just uses those incredible feet to show the rest of us mere mortals some of that Messi-Magic.

Cristiano, you better jot down some notes here.

El Clásico: What A Crazy Game

Yesterday's El Clásico was living up to its expectation, which was goals but not quite for Real Madrid since Barcelona won 5-0 at the Nou Camp against Jose Mourinho's Los Blancos. It did get a little bit dirty though.

A fracas began when Ronaldo pushed Guardiola in the first half. Guardiola was having the match ball on the sidelines and

The incident came about when a ball went into touch and was picked up by Guardiola. When Ronaldo came to take the ball for the throw-in, Guardiola held the ball away from the player with this right hand. After Ronaldo spend a moment reaching for the ball, Guardiola flicked the ball away, along the sideline. As Ronaldo turned toward the ball, frustration was obvious in Ronnie's face and he pushed Guardiola away.

Note to Ronnie: If you were still at United, Fergie would have murdered you for that.

More fights came in stoppage time after Sergio Ramos fouled Lionel Messi. After his foul, all the players went to the referee with Ramos pushing his own Spain teammate, Carles Puyol causing the referee to show a red card to Ramos. In the video below, you can also see in the end, Gerard Pique fighting with his Spanish teammate, Iker Casillas

And yes, the goals.

Mourinho Not So Happy At Ramos Taking Penalty

José Mourinho was clearly not happy when Sergio Ramos stepped up to the plate to score a penalty for Real Madrid.

According to Mourinho’s el número 2, Aitor Karanka, "Cristiano Ronaldo is the penalty taker, but Sergio Ramos approached him and told him he was feeling confident... Mourinho was surprised to realise what was happening as he likes to having everything under control."

Sergio Ramos did convert the penalty to make it 3-1. The video clearly shows Mourinho asking “Why did he take it?” and how much of a control freak he really is. If Mou is so angry for not listening to his instructions, imagine how pissed he might have been if Ramos missed?

Cris7's New Nike Boots

Cristiano Ronaldo's specially customized boots called the CR Mercurial Vapor SuperFly II is supposed to make a statement on the pitch and express Ronnie's style.

Ronaldo wants to be CR7 again

Since Raul is no longer at the Bernabeu, CR9 wants to be CR7 again (maybe that is his luck no.) and he said Raul would be "proud" to see him in the number 7. The Real Madrid fans are fine with it (except the ones who one the CR9 shirt)....

Awesome Nike Ad!!!!
