A lot of people have condemed Nani's showboating in the FA Cup match between Manchester United and Arsenal esterday. Arsene Wenger condemed it and Fergie has cautioned him.
I'm absolutely staggered this is even a point of discussion. Fans spend lots of money to watch these games and what they want to see is entertainment. Personally, I spent £120 in order to be there live and my high points for the day were the four goals and Nani's showboating.
If Nani had gone to a corner to do step overs, that would have been different. He was under presure from an opponent and he kept the ball so well in the air to ratain possesion for his team in a tricky situation. The onus lies on the opposition to retrieve the ball from him legally.
Nothing bad in what he did. It was great. What we should be talking about are the real disgraceful high points of the match.
- Adebayor's dive
- Eduardo's two footed lunge
- Eboue's karate
- Gallas' kick
- Flamini's murderous tackle
- Arsenal's capitulation
We should be talking about the above. Not a moment of absolute genius.
