Woohoo, awesome match between Juve and Inter. Finally Inter got sweet payback. I still haven't been dissatisfied with our Matri purchase (and I would praise Krasic, but honestly nn ) \o/

But in all honesty, SO many wasted inter chances by Pazzini and Eto'o xD

Rooney goal was awesome!


And now it's official: Ronaldo, world cups top scorer, is retiring.
The third best player i've seen playing, and one of Brasil's best forward ever!
I'll try to remember him as the awesome and fast forward of 2002, and not as the pathetic elephant of 2010~11


On a side note: Ronaldinho Gaucho's first goal with the Flamengo jersey was in Macaé, my hometown, which is a small one and I was there on the stadium... on my 21st birthday ahhahahah
God, I really miss maracanã

One of the best football players I've ever seen in my lifetime announced his retirement. At least, I can say he is the best striker I've ever seen playing. For sure!

Ronaldo, the Fenomeno!
A guy who faced two serious knee injuries and got up to win a Cup and be again elected the best player in the World.

Not only as a brazilian, but as a football lover I'm really grateful to have seen a player of this level.

Thank you, Ronaldo.

What a coincidence!
He is the third in my ranking too. And I have the feeling that he would be the first if he had no knee problems.

You will be missed ronaldo!!!!!!!!!!! Damn, I grew up seeing that guy in world cups for the most part. I guess 34 is a good age to retire if you have hypothyroidism. That does explain why he was fat... RONALDO BEST SCORER EVER!

 

[kakashi919]

Although I never really supported Brazil in football, Ronaldo was one of the best and deserved his status. Surely he will be missed.

So,who are you guys betting on today? Milan or Spurs?

North London's finest, of course.

First Arsenal, then Man U, now Tottenham? There's something rotten in the kingdom of AC Milan.

(With apologies to the immortal Bard)

 

[kakashi919]

I never expected Milan to win. They might pull it off next game...might. Gomez really saved Tottenham today,2 amazing saves.

It's probably not gonna happen, but I hope Arsenal beat Barcelona tomorrow... Go Arsneal!!!!

 

[Bugzee]

Arsenal v Barcelona = Hoping for a Barca victory in this game.

Roma v Shakhtar Donetsk = Don't really care tbh but I'm guessing Roma will win it at home?

 

[Imperium]

Well i suppose in a couple of years Spurs will end up beating beating Barca as well.

Messi was below average today imo. Barca kinda gave up after the first goal/first half. They thought the one goal lead would do just nicely. Stupid mistake. I can't believe Arsenal actually came back though.

Here's me hoping Spurs goes further in the Champions League this season than the goonerz.

I'm just saying since 99 when Man U did Juve in the away leg all of a sudden English have been able to go ti Italy and expect to at least get a draw as opposed to not falling too many goals behind to make the home leg irrelevent. And it was one thing for Arsenal and Man U to win at the San Siro. They've both got tons of CL experience. I was hoping for a score draw before kick off. At this point losing the home leg wouldn't bother me so much as it would have.

Nice win against Barca. When will teams learn. Sometimes it's better to keep attacking rather than sitting on a lead.

That's normal. Fans always love and hate their idols and change their opinion very often and often on the contrary.

It was so funny seeing Arsenal winning against Barca. I was watching the match and couldn't believe that, especially after Villa's goal. Though I'm really happy about Arsenal's victory.
Also it was even more strange to see Shaktar actually winning against Roma. Now they really have a chance to get to the next round.

It was a bit nostalgic to see Ronaldo quiting being a football player, but in fact he should have done this way before, cause last years he was just having his time and not actually playing.

 

[Bugzee]

Gattuso got served!

What an idiot. Doesn't look too good for Milan in the second leg. Is Pirlo still injured?

I guess they'll start with pato from the start next leg. I really hope Spurs holds on to the away goal lead.

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

Yes, Pirlo was still recovering from his injury, but there is a chance that he'll recover to the next match.

Gattuso really made some crazy and unreasonable thing. He was always a butcher on the field, but I didn't expect him to do this out of the field with an elder person.

Totenham really surprised me and I can really see them getting to the next round, but Milan is strong team and isn't on top of Serie A for nothing, so we'll surely have tough match next time.

 

[Bugzee]

Birmingham have officially qualified for the Europa League!

 

[Pirulito]

I like Arsenal, I sympathize with the team, but my friends and I laughed so hard when Martins scored. Hilarious!

 

[thsv]

Birmingham have officially qualified for the Europa League!

Two great things about that:
1) The wait continues for Arsenal
2) It makes qualifying for Europe that little bit harder for Liverpool.

But... but... but.... unless you were a true die hard, Rod Stewart or the Bee Gee who isn't dead and had money to burn........

For League 1 Football??? Because this is the Football League. Just because they're up there doesn't mean they won't get relegated this year.
