I havent even seen this yet but read about it in the paper and chuckled a little bit.
World cup/ champions league final, extra time, you wouldn't do that?!?! A football game is a football game and there's worse things going on. Racism for one, imagine if Adriano is banned:
Adriano banned 1 game and fined - scored a goal, unsportmanship J. Terry banned "4" games and fined - for racism in a footy game
You probably accept diving too. And henry's handball against Ireland.... I guess you're a huge fan of Maradonna's first goal against England too?
In real life, all true professionals, sportsmen, winners and common decency have a name for this, cheating. And your last point about Adriano and Terry.... What you on about? Your comment is utter douche mate
I was at the stadium watching this and his behavior after the goal just made me wanne jump the fence (which isn't that difficult in dk) and rip his head off !
When Barca scored the same goal to us in 2008 it was Ok cause it was Barca, yeah? Nobody talked about it. And many of you have never heard about it. I do not justify his action but stop talking as if it was nothing less than a decisive moment of the match. Сoach and the players have apologized, fans also not happy. That's all, thank you.
The outcome of the game would not have been the same without that goal. You will never know which team would've won/lost without that goal. *no sarcasm*. Unsportsmanship is a disgrace to the game no excuses
What a disgrace! Shakhtar has done much more damage to itself than good with this win. They were doing such a good campaign, yet this is what they will be remembered for
This is the same Shaktar that about three years ago, upon Barcelona scoring against them in less cynical fashion, said that the Barcelona players were thieves and that they were lucky to leave the ground alive
Luiz Adriano did little to suggest he was aware of his wrongdoing, and the whole episode drew comparisons with an FA Cup clash between arsenal and Sheffield United in 1999.
Adriano said f**k IT! Haha wonder what posessed him.... Yes it was classless (totally agree) but everyone saying bann shakhtar or red card adriano blah blah isn't gonna' happen.... Ball was in play there is no rule against it.... We want stuff like this to stop then start from the root. Punish divers, punish teams that all run up to the ref when a player goes down, goal line tech, punish REFS for unfair advantage the list goes on and on. But its not going to happen, stuff like this happens all of the time, but this event (adriano goal) is kinda new to everyone so we freak out.... Players have done worse. Let karma take care of it
Probably top 3 most classless things i've ever witnessed in sports. Right up there with luis suarez hand ball on the line against ghana in the world cup
Big difference between those two goals man. And while I may seem bias, Henry after the game apologized immediately, said he acted on impulse because the ref didn't call it. This goal was so blatantly unsportsmanlike it makes me sick. What's worse is that Adriano thinks it's all good
