to the letter of the law it was...like i've said though, he was already on a yellow! anyone that sticks out their arm like that when they've already been booked is asking for trouble!

I think everyone knows Inter are strong favourites to progress having reached half time with a clean sheet.

Why do they have to stop when an Inter player is down 'hurt' after his own tackle/foul?

Look at the way Barcelona players go down, they DELIBERATELY try to get players booked. Busquets and Messi did it, roll about 5 times, cover your face and have a quick check to see what the ref is giving.
Its called sporting behaviour. Something that clearly this lot do not know.

Yes but to suggest Inter wouldn't do it if it was the other way round is a little naive. Inter are diving themselves at every opportunity.
Regarding the playing the ball out, you have to play to the referee. You can't complain when teams play to the whistle, especially when the player is faking and trying to waste time after his own foul

Barca's long shots are not much short of pathetic. They really don't look like getting near creating a chance in the box let alone scoring. Playing straight into Inter's hands, they'll defend like this until Xmas without conceding

Agree with this too. I think FIFA need to change the way they deal with 'injured' players on the field, to stop giving players an incentive to feign injury to stop an attack from the opposing team.
As its messi it wont be seen as a dive

For fans who appreciate the tactical side of the game in terms of team set-up and individual positioning this match is actually quite compelling to watch.

I know Messi isn't the angel that's usually suggested. But to put him up there with Ronaldo in the diving/whining stakes is a tad laughable

I hope Inter beat this rag, they are not all that are they?
