haha ... it was schoolyard tactics: hoof the ball far ahead of you, and chase it as quick as you can; if you're faster, you'll get there first ... it worked coz Maicon looked like his mind was far away from the game, and he showed little to no commitment ... but Lucio did make a schoolyard mistake by holding the defensive line so high up, instead of seeing that the break was on, then tracking back after realizing what Bale's pace would mean if he had open space in behind for the ball to be hoofed into ...4ndr3i;2950844 said:I think Bale is the most awesome player I've seen in the last couple of years. That kid is ****ing destined for greatness. Love how he's raping Maicon. Go Spurs.
what impressed about Bale was that, when he made the space for himself to look up, he delivered a killer ball into the box almost every time ... a clutch player already, and a genuine superstar-in-the-making ...

happy to see Raffie get a goal in this big game to keep his fan-favourite status ... hopefully it is just another minor knock that he came off for at the break ...
