SportsFilter: The Sunday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Barcelona mostly just taking the piss now.
In the build up to that, Neymar did this and then eventually Messi did this before he did that.
Better yet, apparently the assist was meant to be for Neymar, but Luis was on a hattrick...

Apologies, I forgot to tag it with "WARNING: RAY HUDSON"

I can't believe that Ray stayed silent through the live moment of Messi's chip service to Suarez. Perhaps a medical team had slapped an oxygen mask on him and were just getting out the chest paddles.

I can't take Hudson for a full game, but to move from Isaac Newton to Facebook to Twitter to King Lear in three minutes of commentary is solid work.

Cool trick, but Suarez was in the circle before Messi struck the kick and probably across the line as well.

Suarez does have his foot in the D and it would have been almost as funny if Suarez's greed had caused a re-take, considering the pass wasn't even for him, but I'd still put my money on Messi for that re-take.
I'm also prepared to overlook one foot in the D to a degree, considering Celta's Josep Sene had done a tap-dance in the D and was all the way into the area before Messi took the kick.

Just glad we don't get Mr. Hudson on the English SAP audio for BeIn HD channel. Incredibly glad.

Apparently the penalty was an homage to Johan Cruyff who has been ill.
