Year Round The Football/Soccer Thread v2

[goldb]

It's not bullshit Hardy, it's showing how many players playing top flight football in Europe each team produces. With Barcelona, it's very competitive. While they produce talented players, those players don't always leave to play in other teams in Spain or other countries. Whereas Ajax has been known to be doing that for years; especially with Italy in the 90s.

PSG vs Barcelona tommorow as well as Juventus vs Bayern. Two great matches, who are you rooting for guys?

Personally, since I'm from Paris and I've always liked PSG even though they haven't been top notch for many years since Ronaldhino has been gone but this year everything seems to be going fine for them so i hope they'll create the surprise.

Juventus vs Bayern, Bayern just had a great match vs Hamburger SV and they won 9-2 what a good way to start this game pumped up, so i think Bayern is gonna win tommorow as well.

Forza Juventus!!!

So excited!! Finally have a reason to wear my new Juve jersey I hope we don't try to play too much counter attacking football and take control of that midfield. Shut down their wing men and Sweinstagher Should be an excellent match.

I despise Barca, so I'm rooting for PSG, even though I know that the chances of PSG winning are rather slim.

I'd like to see Bayern win the CL so that when Pep makes it there and fails to win the CL, we can all point and laugh. Truthfully, I'd like to see Dortmund win the CL, but I doubt it's happening.

I Wanted Porto to win do I need to say anything else?

Alaba has certainly ignited this tie.

Alaba launches one and it's in within 30 seconds. 1-0 Bayern.

Kroos comes off with the groin injury and now it's Arjen Robben time.

 

[goldb]

Surprised to see them leading so early on. I'm watching the other game. PSG aren't fairing too badly.

 

[FrostyMouse]

Robben, wtf? I believed in you and now you've missed three easy chances.

 

[goldb]

Barca goal- no need to guess who. I hear Bayern are having a lot of chances and could've buried the game already?

 

[FrostyMouse]

Bob, Bayern should be leading 4-0 or 5-0. Robben could've easily had a hat trick, but no goals at all.

On some of Robben's misses, all he had to do was hit the target. There was one where Buffon dove the wrong way and all Robben had to do was slot it into like a three yard area on the right side of the net, but he couldn't get his shot inside the post.

Messi's injury forced him off at halftime, only to be replaced by Cesc.

 

[goldb]

I will laugh if Bayern come to rue these chances.

Yes, I've just tuned back to see that Messi came off. I saw him talking to Villanova, so I kinda figured. Thiago Silva and Lucas Moira have been the outstanding players for PSG tonight so far. Ibra has been okay and if he gets a clear chance( besides the freekick), I think he'll score.

Beckham has just faded into the background...

 

[FrostyMouse]

Bayern get the precious second goal.

Ibra had a clear chance in the first half, Bob, but dragged it wide.

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

Ibra gets the deserved equalizer for PSG!

 

[goldb]

Goal, Ibra scored. Lucky goal but whatever, it counts.

 

[FrostyMouse]

That can't be a penalty. The keeper went for the ball and then the Barca player jumped at him. Alexis Sanchez was not doing anything. It was even a less meritorious call than the one for Ba against City.

Xavi converts the penalty though.

 

[kakashi919]

That second goal for Bayern was offside though... and Ribbery should have been sent off. What a dreadful game Juve are having...Pirlo isn't playing well at all. Hope it's better back in Italy

 

[goldb]

Even supporting Barca I have to agree that this wasnt a penalty. Alexis made the most of that...but again, all that matters is the goal in the end. If the game ends as it is now, PSG have no chance in my books of winning at Camp Nou.

Valdes fucks up! 2-2!

 

[kakashi919]

Valdes fucks up! 2-2!

And that's why he's leaving at the end of the season

 

[goldb]

Valdes fucks up! 2-2!

Haha! I had a feeling that would happen. I guess justice has been done for this leg.

 

[FrostyMouse]

And that's why he's leaving at the end of the season

I don't understand how he lasted this long, honestly.
