UEFA Champions League Soccer

It started yesterday and continues today...

Thoughts?

1-0 Arsenal over Roma...Gunners baby!

[GRBaseball5]

Inter 0 Man U 0

[seis88]

Inter 0 Man U 0

Man U had so many opportunities that game.

[timothygrimes]

Man U had so many opportunities that game.

christiano should of scored off that corner and a few other times...

[bcherry8]

Did anybody see the yellow card on Rooney? He slides, makes a clean tackle, gets up, gets flipped over by an Inter player after the whistle, and somehow draws the yellow. Okay...............?

[AlwaysRunning]

Liverpool game had its great moments. The goal that was almost scored from past midfield by Liverpool was a cracker and a great save by the keeper.

Torres had a wicked strike early in the game that nearly found the net and was a great save.

The goal by Liverpool was just awful marking by Madrid on the set piece...smallest player on the field with a header for the win.

[pcssoccer2]

christiano should of scored off that corner and a few other times...omg that PEED me off!! i thought for sure he was going to score too... inters fricken goalie was unstoppable... he was always in the right place at the right time!

[DrewVT6]

I'm watching the CONCACAF Champs League tonight, since the wife's gone and kids are sleeping. Montreal is representing the USL1 pretty well. They're up 1-0 in the 65' against last years MFL champs Santos Laguna. They have 50,000 at the game in Montreal in the old Olympic stadium. Quite the site!

Real Madrid dominated that game to... i think the possesion was like 59% to 41% I didnt get a chance to watch the game but the highlights were sick! That shot from half was pretty nasty... What a game!

I disagree - Madrid had the ball a lot in their own half screwing around with it. I thought it was a very even game and Liverpool had more chances to score. Possession time does not always indicate who won. Being an Arsenal fan I have seen many a game where the Gunners have the ball for 55% or more of the game but get outplayed overall.

Like i said i did not see the game so you are probably right. I was just going by what highlights and stats i saw and i have seen games just like you have were one team dominates the game but ends up tying or even losing the game... but that is the beautiful game of soccer.

[arsenalfan101]

Arsenal might not be playing in the Champions League next year with their recent poor form in the EPL, so they should play some inspired soccer trying to win it this year. Of course, heart can only get you so far, and Roma hasn't been great in Serie A this year either. I still think Arsenal will be able to hold their first leg advantage, though.

Their last 3 or 4 Premiership games, excluding their recent win, are a perfect example of that observation

im still pissed that arsenal sold flamini and hleb. Arsenal was starting to get better and last season they were title contenders. If arsenal keeps selling their good players their never gonna win anything. As much as i like arsenal i dont see them winning the champions league.

I am a huge gunners supporter and I don't think they are good enough to win this year but they have a chance if they keep playing well and controlling the games.

They sold a lot of their aging players over the last couple years and I was pissed too, but they have a group of amazingly talented young players. It is scary to see them out of the top 4, but they are by no means out of top 4 contention. They have had some injuries that haven't helped them out. I am still rooting like hell for them and I agree with what they are doing long term, I just hope it doesn't bit us in the ass this year and we finish 5th.

flamini was only like 23 last year and hleb was 27. they werent that old. and gilberto, another player they sold was an expierienced player that could have helped arsenal.

[AlwaysRunning]

flamini was only like 23 last year and hleb was 27. they werent that old. and gilberto, another player they sold was an expierienced player that could have helped arsenal.

Yea I dropped the ball on flamini he didn't fit the older category. Hleb was on the other side of his prime in my opinion, I don't think Gilberto would be starting and even if he was arsenal was trying (in my opinion) to open up spots for all the young guys to get time with the first team to grow for the future.

[Cronaldo2548]

the problem is arsene wenger is obsessed with playing young players and sometimes you need older experienced players to help a team.

Arsenal's dream team of 03-04 had a combination of youth and experience. And in my opinion played the best soccer that i have ever seen.

That team was absolutely ridiculous. I think Arsene sometimes wants to have a young team that will play his brand of futbol without arguing and without egos. He has had a lot of success doing it, this year they are a bit down but they have had some injuries to some of their key guys too.

liverpool beat madrid 4 0. its to bad they cant play like that in the league.

Hopefully now Ronaldo realizes what he will experience if he jumps ship to Real, an overpaid group of big names that cant mesh as a team. And forget about winning 2+ trophies every year with Real too.

[GoCougars3]

Boooooo!:p

Bayner Munich (Germany) had no problem at all with Sporting Lisbon (Portugal) easily beating them 7-1

[bcherry8]

Man. Utd. leads Inter 1-0 at halftime. Goal by Centre-Back Nemanja Vidic in the 4th minute.

A little late, but United wins 2-0, with the 2nd goal coming from a Ronaldo header. On to quarterfinals!

[StuckInRoutine]

There's only one united.
:)

[timothygrimes]

Arsenal advances despite the Roma win today...

[bcherry8]

Arsenal advances despite the Roma win today...
Excellent, depending on the draw, we could get an all-English semi-final, assuming they would all advance in quarters.

[Cronaldo2548]

man utd may be good but they play boring soccer. i want barca or arsenal to win it

[Cronaldo2548]

btw messi is better than c ronaldo

[cougarfan11]

yea Bayner Munich is sick.

[bcherry8]

man utd may be good but they play boring soccer. i want barca or arsenal to win it
What? They create scoring chances from almost every possession.......I guess dominating the game with lots of scoring chances is boring. Yeah, they pass around alot, but they are careful not to force anything. Thats why they always dominate possession, thats how they create so many chances, and thats why United have only given up 1 goal in like their last 10 games.

[GoCougars3]

man utd may be good but they play boring soccer. i want barca or arsenal to win it


How does Man U play boring soccer. In my opinion they are the best team in the world. They use the outside of the pitch better than any team i'v ever seen, and they score goals!!! Which is one of the best parts about soccer!

Giving up 1 goal in their last 10 games is not a good reason to say they play exciting soccer. I don't agree that ManU plays really boring soccer, they play a nice brand of futbol. I am not a Ronaldo fan but you can't argue that ManU is a very good team. They don't play super wide open exciting soccer or extermely boring bunkered in soccer...somewhere in between which is where the majority of teams fall.

[GoCougars3]

i bet lol but man u is stil ahead of them aha


Yeah, Champions league Final: Liverpool 2 Manchester Utd 0

[cougarfan11]

Yeah, Champions league Final: Liverpool 2 Manchester Utd 0

how bout the one that matters more? the premiership?

Oh thats over, Man U has that in the bag... :(

[StuckInRoutine]

man utd may be good but they play boring soccer. i want barca or arsenal to win it I'd take a "boring" UEFA championship any day over a "really exciting" loss.

[DrewVT6]

They had a stat up on the screen at some point in the game last night about Paul Scholes. Said he completed something like 83% of his passes in the game.

Or how about when Rooney was subbed off, and there was a stat shown saying that he had run 9 kilometers over the course of the game.

[Cronaldo2548]

manchester plays boring because the tend to pass the ball around without alot of movement or intenstiy. They seem content with keeping the ball without doing much with it. Especially when they get the lead, then they really start to pass the ball around and not do much.

[Cronaldo2548]

When manchester plays counterattacking soccer they are fun to watch but when they slow the game down and posses the ball it becomes boring. When they have a lead is when they really slow the game down and its frustrating to watch. I still think they are probably the best team in the world right now. They need to pass quicker and speed the game up to play more attractive football. They also need to dribble more as opposed to passing.

Thats how the game is supposed to be played. Whether you like it or not thats how the best teams in the world play and right now Manchester Und does it better than anyone in the world.

Are you kidding me? They need to pass quicker and speed up the game more and play more attractive football??? Manchester Und doesnt play for the fans they play for themselfs, and what they and how they do it is a success. "They also need to dribble more" ? sorry to say but you dont know soccer. Why would a team want to dribble more when there up a goal or two? Manchester United is the best team in the world as of right now, why should they change there style of play? They play to win not to inpress the fans. You think that is boring soccer but i think thats how the game of soccer is supposed to be played.

[GoCougars3]

False.

How is that false? their winning arent they? i mean whatever their doing works.

i hate you.

i hate you.

Haha I Win:D

[Cronaldo2548]

There is no way that the game is supposed to be played. You can play soccer in different ways. Just watch a variety soccer teams play and you will see the difference. As for the best teams in the world playing like Manchester that is false. Barcelona's don't play that way and they are one of the best teams in the world. Inter Milan doesn't play that way either.

Also I can guarantee you that I know a lot about soccer. I've been playing since I was like 7 and have been watching it on tv for like 6 years.

I was just giving my opinion of how Manchester could play more appealing soccer. They don't have to play at a fast pace.

[Cronaldo2548]

I'm not trying to bash Manchester, I'm just saying they could play quicker. And I know that they're the best club in the world right now.

So i guess we'll just have to wait and see how Manchester Und is going to do in the Champions League. Then we'll see who's opinion is right:D

[Cronaldo2548]

Yup. They way i see it now Manchester, barca, and liverpool are favorites for the champions league.

[CChilano]

i am a HUGE ManU fan, but if someone doesn't step up defensivley and stop Bayern Munich, they are gonna be trouble...Toni, Klose, Podolski, Schwenstieger, and Ribery are an amazing offense. I know they haven't played anyone threatening yet, but we'll see Friday where they go next, but there offense vs. Vidic, Rio, and the rest of Man U would be amazing to watch...

They would eat John "Not my mark" Terry alive at Stamford Bridge...

Liverpool is hot right now (see Saturday's game) and barca is always in the mix....

I think Vidic and Ferdinand will rise to the occasion, look what they did to Adriano and Ibrahimovic. And I agree that Liverpool is on fire, 4 goals apiece vs Real Madrid and Man. Utd. is something to be proud of.

[GoCougars3]

My prediction-
Champions league final- Liverpool vs Manchester Und

[CChilano]

The draw for the quarterfinals is Friday. So lets see where everyone is paired up. Liverpool and manU could play next round

Yeah, i think italy is second

[GoCougars3]

Yeah, i think italy is second

Also true

[cougarfan11]

Also true

ac milan is sick!!

[CChilano]

Here is the draw for the finals:

Bracket A:
Villarreal v. Arsenal
Manchester U v. FC Porto

Bracket B:
Liverpool v. Chelsea
Barcelona v. Bayern Munich

There is no "re-draw" after this round, so the Villarreal/Arsenal winner gets the ManU/Porto winner.

Liverpool/Chelsea winner getsbarca/Munich winner.

This means we can get a rematch of last years final between ManU and Chelsea......

Lets just hope United-Porto doesnt unfold like it did in 2004..............

[Cronaldo2548]

In 2004 porto had alot of good players and had jose mourinho. Since then alot of those players have been sold or are not as good. Manchester is pretty much a lock for the semis and has the easiest road to the finals. The other draws are pretty even except i think barca is favorite maybe 60 40 to get past bayern.

Yeah, we dont have to worry about any more Mourinho nonsense this year.

However, I wouldnt mind seeing him succeed Sir Alex. As often as I have rooted against his teams, he is a phenomenal manager.

When you dont have vidic back there and berba gets hurt and a crap call from the ref to send rooney off i think everyone would have a slump..... They have the chance to win the quintuple a first to any team in the prem

Rooney gets far to many bookings, simply because of his reputation. Take the Inter game at the San Siro. Rooney slides, wins the ball without any contact with an Inter player, gets up and takes two steps, then is caused to flip in midair by a dirty, reprehensible sliding challenge from another Inter player. Then inexplicably, Rooney is given a yellow.

thank you... Rooney is getting a lot better with his temper and will be a sensation for club and country

Also at the San Siro Ronaldo got booked for "divving" and it was a bogus call just because of his reputation he clearly got stepped on and got tripped!

The people that categorize Ronaldo as a diver are unintelligent. Ronaldo is one of the fastest players on the planet, and when you're moving that fast, the slightest impact on your legs can send you flying. Its happened to me before, and I'm not exactly Usain Bolt. Many of the critics of these players have never played the game themselves.

He is a diver...he moves fast but he dives. Part of diving is how hard you make the foul look and he makes everything look like he got shot in the leg.

Sometimes he makes it a little theatrical, but many of those instances warrant a foul against the other player regardless of apparent severity.

saying that Liverpool has only one good guy is like saying NRW is good at soccer

[GoCougars3]

hahaha
I still think Liverpool is going to win:D

Fernando Torres is king, i destroy everyone in FIFA with him.

[cougarfan11]

saying that Liverpool has only one good guy is like saying NRW is good at soccer

yeah, bc NRW sucks at soccer

[Cronaldo2548]

barcelona is in the semis. bayern tends to look good early on and then get beat in the ko rounds or the quarterfinals. the trio of henry, messi, and eto'o are unstoppable. it also looks like chelsea will go through. lpool would have to score at least 3 at stamford bridge to advance.
the other two games are close.

[Cronaldo2548]

barca 4 bayern 0

chels 3 lpool 1

[cougarfan11]

barca 4 bayern 0

chels 3 lpool 1

is that the real scores?

[BDevil09]

yeah, bc NRW sucks at soccer

easy fella. But yes, that is what I was implying because theres like 9 of you on here always talking about NRW and how they're so good...when they're not.

[Cronaldo2548]

those are the real scores

[cougarfan11]

those are the real scores

Atleast i called one of them right

[cougarfan11]

No, they dont suck. But they're not great

[arsenalfan101]

I think Arsenal will progress. They will probably pack it in defensively to try and shut Villarreal out and win with away goals.

I don't think they talk about how nrw is good, it's just the only thing most nrw kids talk about is themselfs bc nobody from nrw knows anything else outside of Wayne county.

There is a lot of NRW-related stuff on this site. And yes, I only really know the Wayne County kids and the high scorers. I read in another thread that Garcia from Athena was one of the best defenders in Section V, but I didn't know because I don't watch any Athena games. If we talk about something, it will probably be about something we know about like WC or our sectional class.

I just think nrw gets talked about to much on this site. I think that they should make different forums for high school soccer just like they did for high school basketball. Like monroe county... Wayne county... Livingston county... And so on...

That would be a pretty good idea, and people from other areas that didn't want to deal with NRW talk wouldn't have to read it.

14:45 ET Manchester United vs Arsenal At Old Trafford :eek:



I'v got Manchester Und and Barcelona moving on.

Lets here some thoughts...

[arsenalfan101]

I would like to see an Arsenal-Barcelona final. I hate Man U and Chelsea. Plus Arsenal could avenge their last loss to Barcelona in the final.

[CyyniK thebesthaloplayer]

barcelona is hot right now and henry etto and messi are working well...ask munich lol

[arsenalfan101]

Arsenal was doing well until they lost to Chelsea in the FA Cup, I think it was 18 matches unbeaten or something like that.

[QUOTE=arsenalfan101;133953]Arsenal was doing well until they lost to Chelsea in the FA Cup, I think it was 18 matches unbeaten or something like that.[/QUOTE

arsenal is still doin well. there is no shame in losing to chelsea. under hiddink they have been playing a lot better than before. The return of essien has also really helped them.

[Cronaldo2548]

i also want to see a barcelona arsenal final. it would make for an entertaining match. but dont count out chelsea. They have been playing well of late. the chels barca games should be good games. It's also going to be tough for arsenal to get passed man utd.

Im interested to see how chelsea handles messi. I remember a 4 years ago messi ran all over del horno and got him sent off.

Yeah that is true. I wonder if Hiddink will stay for next season? Should be interesting.

You gotta watch this video before it's taken down:

It's not a CL video, but Arshavin really should have been a nominee for FIFA POY 2008. The guy is phenomenal.

[CyyniK thebesthaloplayer]

is he the russian guy..if so hes sick

[DrewVT6]

is he the russian guy..if so hes sick

yup. He helped Russia to the EuroCup semis and led Zenit St Petersburg to the UEFA Cup Championship.

[AlwaysRunning]

[DrewVT6]

I can't believe no one has commented about the Chelsea/Barca game yet. Essien's goal was simply sick. Amazing.

Who ya got winning in Rome?

[arsenalfan101]

I hope Barca wins, I hate Man U. This should be a good battle, but idk who will win. It will be nice to see the two best wingers in the world play on the same pitch!

[Cougarfan10]

[arsenalfan101]

No way, I never expected you to pick them!!!

[Cronaldo2548]

i didnt see the chels barca game but from what ive seen on soccer websites and highlights, chelsea was the better team and should be in the final. I mean barca's world renowned offence was held to one goal over two legs. and in the second leg when chelsea decided to attack they caused a lot of trouble for barca.

I wouldn't say Chelsea was the better team. Barca controlled the ball for huge long swaths of the game and had much nicer buildups and chances. Thing is, Chelsea was able to make quick counter strikes because of the high line Barca plays.

[bcherry8]

I say United 2-1 over Barca.

Ronaldo scores early, Messi knots it up early in the second half, and Rooney nets the winner in the last 15.

[GoCougars3]

very good cody =)

I hope Ranaldo breaks his leg and Rooney gets red carded. I hate Man U but i think they are gonna win... unfortionately.

No complaints out of me, United did not play like champions. Barca definitely deserved the result.

yeah agreed...manchester is my favorite team and i say they are no champions after last night... next year haha...Barcalona gave them a huge uphill battle after that "goal"..i think Manchester would've won if barca didnt score the first goal because manchster was dominating first 9 mins and never got back into it after that goal...good run this year tho.

[Cougarfan10]

Oops.....:cool:

oh come on axel ...even though manchester got thumped you have no room to talk... 4-1 on agg. to Arsenal. but yeah manchester sucked last night
