Barça - Manchester United

Is it just me or wasn't it a pretty boring match last night. I mean apart from the 2 goals nothing happened. Deadly! I'm sure football used to be more lively with a lot of goalmouth action but now it seems to be like chess with the ball carefully passed around between the players but everybody afraid to take a chance and attack the goal. Is it because of the money involved or are the players just not as good as they used to be? And the commentators talk a lot of twaddle, don't they? They never stop, on about this or that tactic but I suspect they haven't got a clue what they're talking about and just like the sound of their own voices.
