Losing really means nothing in that context. But yeah, he should have kept his composure, especially since the MLS coach basically already apologized during the match. I saw the foul against Basti, and while it is very unfortunate that it went against his ankle again, it didn't seem that malicious. I guess Pep assumed that Caleb encouraged rough play in a meaningless friendly match, or at least didn't do anything to stop it.
The whole Zlatan fiasco was because Zatlan though he was better than Messi and wanted to be treated as the face of the club.
I think Pep did overreact but people are making way too much of a big deal about his antics. I saw the game and there were handful of unnecessary rough fouls by the MLS Allstars. Maybe y'all didn't see him at Barca but he has always been this intense and controlling to most minuscule detail. And to the guy mentioning Pep wanting to coach the UMSNT, ( Yung-T source is Marca ) do you really thing his overreaction last night would stop him from being the boss here? LOL. Not that I believe there's a chance of him coming here, at least not in the next 10 years, I see him taking over at Spain after the EURO 2016 or WC 2018.

Like I said, Marca. Kinda forgot about that as I don't really think it would happen... But given the opportunity, which I think sooner or later he will get, I don't see him turning it down. This is all pure speculation on my part.
Thanks Yung-T. I'm a bit iffy about Vermaelen as he's kinda injury prone but nonetheless welcome to Can Barca. We should still have about 40ish million left so wouldn't be surprised if we go for Cuadrado now.
^^ I said I was iffy about this Vermaelen signing as he is very injury prone... First day at Barca and already injured.. FML.
Saturday 6.45 AM CT marks the beginning of the greatest football league in the world. Exciting times ahead... All the top EPL teams have added some high quality players this off season.
Predictions: EPL - Man United (Van Gaal is terrifying) Bundesliga - Bayern Munich (Duh) La Liga - Real Madrid (Too much talent) Ligue 1 - PSG (Who cares) Serie A - Juve (Don't they always win?)
EPL- Chelsea Bundesliga-Bayern(duh) La Liga- Real Madrid(duh again) Ligue 1- Monaco(Figure as long as Falcao is healthy they'll give PSG competition) Serie A- Roma (Between Inter & Roma but went w/Roma. It's time. No Juve as figure Allegri undoes Conte's work).
The leagues haven't even started and we're already on the verge of page 30. My predictions: EPL - Liverpool Bundesliga - BVB (because lulz) La Liga - Barca (Suarez will get ban reduced and lead them to title) Ligue 1 - lolque? Serie A - Juve (I don't actually know)
Please, Chelsea will dominate the league. That team is stacked. Courtois, Costa, Fabregas, Luis coming in, Drogba's presence in the locker room. Impact players.
I guess let me jump of the predictions wagon: EPL- Chelsea ( Grrrr, Hate Mou) La Liga- Barca (Duhhhhhh) Bundesliga- Bayern Serie A- Juve Ligue 1- PSG Eredevisie- Ajax Champs League- Barca Europa- depends who gets knocked out from Champs League
