He's smarter than Ramos, but he does get a pass on plenty of yellows.

It's even a running joke with some commentators about what exactly Casemiro has to do to get booked. I'll find a few examples next time I hate-watch RM. I'm talking clear-cut cases like breaking counters with an intentional foul.

I don't think there's an English broadcast available. Ridiculous

I don’t understand why - it’s been in English the last 4 years.

Benzema was offside on Casemiro's goal, that was a good decision.

Not sure you're a reliable, unbiased source on this

I'm extremely proud of that post! But surely you can trust Marca on this.

Not seeing where Marca confirms it, unless your are referring to a couple of

Link I sent is the match commentary in Spanish by Marca's Ruben Jimenez.

OK, I found it. But regardless, as you said below, they are now saying it was a

Benzema didn’t touch the ball, had no actual impact on the play.

Ashtrash

12/13/17 11:11am

Now Marca is agreeing with you - Benzema didn't influence the play.

mik3

12/13/17 11:18am

LOL fair enough

Ashtrash

12/13/17 11:24am

Sure, he's no Pepe Psicopata and he can definitely play.

Casemiro has perfected the art of playing hard but not dirty.

Ashtrash

12/13/17 12:00pm

He's smarter than Ramos, but he does get a pass on plenty of yellows.

mik3

12/13/17 12:26pm

Haha I’m not arguing, I just think he at least doesn’t look like he’s trying to be dirty whereas thugs like my boy Ramos

Ashtrash

12/13/17 12:33pm

Ah, I see. Yeah, he fouls smart for the most part.

mik3

12/13/17 12:40pm

Haha can’t imagine why.

Ashtrash

12/13/17 12:45pm

Does Benzema ever have any impact on the play? He never seems to do anything.

He is the weak link for sure, but Zidane sticks w Frenchies.

Asensio is the future here.

chilango

12/13/17 12:29pm

And a great future.

YSMACK

12/13/17 12:32pm

I'll forever be sad & angry about how Barca lost Asensio.

mik3

12/13/17 12:32pm

That still cracks me up they could find an extra 2 million for the kid. Really? And thank goodness for Rafa Nadal.

Ashtrash

12/13/17 12:41pm

And we'll be forever grateful

Benzema gets a bad rap for not being as flashy as CR or Bale but he's key to RM.

mik3

12/13/17 12:24pm

Absolutely true. He gets more crap than he should.

Fox Soccer Game Pass is in English

YSMACK

12/13/17 11:30am

Is that an online deal?

Ashtrash

12/13/17 12:06pm

Yes. It is a streaming service through Fox. Pretty good.

YSMACK

12/13/17 12:08pm

But no La Liga?

Ashtrash

12/13/17 12:22pm

No La Liga. An acknowledged weak point. I'm Bayern first so not huge for me.

YSMACK

12/13/17 12:31pm

Yeah, that is a fantastic deal if that’s your league...
