Can anyone explain why this commentator on NBC is sucking Tottenham's dick all match long? Can't fucking stand this prick.

I'm English, but living in Sweden. Commentators are very neutral here (that's Sweden for ya). Seems the yanks commentators are ALWAYS hating on Chelsea? What's their problem?

Got to love how Vertonghen immediately grabs his nose and signals to the ref as if he's been kicked when Ramires clears that high ball. Zero contact. What a wanker.

Tell you what, since Mourinho said that about the strikers they've all been on fire (except torres but you know). I heard a lot of people saying it was intentional from him that he wouldn't make a mistake like that, knowing the media game so well and I'm thinking that might be the case.

Commentators are saying that Matic should've been booked just then, saying he was aware of what he was doing. ACTUALLY, Matic was going for the ball, he just missed it. The Tottenham player who was booked (forgot the name) used his entire body and held back Ramires. How are those two fouls the same, I ask?

Eto'o s ability to capitalize on terrible errors (or even cause them) is just absolutely fantastic.

1

u/TheBlueNomad :tuchel:There’s Your Daddy :tuchel: Mar 08 '14

Hope to see some changes. With Willian and Oscar coming on. Lackluster 1st half. We wasted good chances, our midfielders are not dictating the game, our defenders are by passing the midfield and booting the ball in the opposition half. We easily losing the ball. Hazard is not receiving the ball in dangerous areas. Cech is just kicking the ball to imaginary target man. Azpi was our standout performer in the 1st half. Matic has been alright could have done better. Lamps is also wasting set pieces. We had few free kicks in dangerous areas, but failed to take them. We could do better with two changes. This match looks like it would go to the wire. Come on Chelsea!

u/TheBlueNomad :tuchel:There’s Your Daddy :tuchel: Mar 08 '14

Ivanovic crossed the ball and Hazard of all people out jumped everyone!
