A very experienced referee just ruined a very good game!

Maybe he didn't ruin it.

(Halftime).

Maybe he just made it very, very interesting!

Mourinho ruined that game way before the red card. There were 9 players behind the ball from the opening whistle. The only difference after the ejection was no outlet for any kind of counter. That game was going one direction, card or no card. Horrible for the sport and horrible for the Final. Van Gaal and Mourinho....two coaches who think the game is about them!

Mourinho has always preferred defensive football and has had success wherever he has been. Maybe there is a correlation.

Agreed. The modern game is about tactics and coaches and not style and players. Disappointing. Hope World Cup doesn't follow modern trends.

I think tactics are make the game much better. Without them, you would never see someone like Porto win the CL. Coaching is extremely important in every sport, I actually hate watching teams like Arsenal who try to pass the ball in the goal. A goal is a goal. Watching Arsenal is more frustrating than watching Mourinho have his defense playing incredible to me. Just look how frustrated Barca got today, they couldn't do anything even up a man.

Wow, wow, wow. We're polar opposites.

Seeing the game played with high technique and interplay is what the game is about. Barcelonas and Arsenals of the world are soccer. It's your preference for tactics and lack of appreciation for technique that's a prime example of why Americans are SO far behind the rest of the world. They're blind to the beauty of the game. Thanks for showing everyone a cross section of thinking held by ALOT of American soccer fans.
