Can't see any evidence of him thinking he was offside in the slow motion replay.

How is that possible. I suspect more FIFA corruption.

Your lucky, Wales are below the Mighty Faeroe Islands

That Mancini needs a good slapping to wake him up.

His reaction was totally over the top and can only be spurred by other motives.

IT'S A FRIENDLY
IT'S NOT THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL
PEOPLE LIKE TO BE ENTERTAINED

I remember years ago, Swansea played a pre-season friendly against Man City (funnily enough) and our keeper Tony Millington, who was a bit of a character, caught a ball that a Man City player was running onto, he threw it over the head of the oncopming player, then ran after it and took it all the way down the wing and finished with a great cross.

That Mancini twerp would have pulled him off I'm sure.

There is certainly an element of hypocracy involved. Very unprofessional, attempting to score with a backheel indeed.

As much as I love playing the game- I am starting to wish their wasn't so much money flying around in it. These big clubs are soooo determined to suck the money out of the grass roots.

Still, if it cuts off Blatter and the other crooks from the trough...

I hope it is just a vehicle to radically reform FIFA and the existing bodies.

The thought of Football being run by a rich clique at the top with no real pyramid and change in the game is a frightening prospect.

Nothing annoys me more in Canada when people ask me why I don't support Manchester United, Chelsea or Arsenal. It's even more annoying when they don't actually know that Chelsea and Arsenal are in London. The existing Champions League has enough to answer for...........

Sensachonal! Fantasico!

I particularly liked his bit of dribbling prior to him getting the ball back and scoring the goal

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo al!

Just two more weeks until the season starts again

It's right up there with something Berbatov did (for Spurs I think), something Zidane did for Madrid maybe and something ManU fell victim to in one of those world club - club world things a few years back.

LOL, I just sat there replaying 0:51 through to 0:54 about 15 times in a row with the same problem. His second touch (to get past the number 4 defender) is nothing short of <rapidly scans through synonyms of magical> supranormal!
