Becks to stay at LA. That is sad, it would have been better for him to stay with Milan.

@Mendes: I guess you didn't realize i was just joking about Nigeria wining the World Cup.

 

[Lelo]

I dont know why Galaxy didnt just give him away. They would have saved money. And everyone in L.A. already forgot about Becks. It's back to normal for football/soccer in America. I wished he stayed in Milan. But who knows maybe Milan will change their minds and give Galaxy another offer

Well I like to think everyone has a chance, after watching Greece winning the Euro Cup in 2004, and both Turkey and South Korea reaching the latest stages in 2002. There's nothing wrong about aiming for the top, regardless of the odds^^

Yeah everybody have a chance but i just don't think we have any realistic chance of wining the World Cup, but i think we should qualifier though.

But i think Cameroon have the most likely chance of all the African team of wining the World Cup.

Inter 2 - Milan 1, awesome match!!!! I suffered so much during the last 20 minutes!

 

[Mendes]

Great Match! I dont remember watching such amazing game this season! Congrats for Inter, they Will be Italian Champions once again

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

I don't like the pacing if Italian football, the match content is great and everything and there are a lot of goals, but it's too slow pace for me, but I'm too used to watching Man Utd and English football.

BTW INTER VS MANUTD CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Watching Inter beat Milan, I think we got enough to defeat them because Milan's defense wasn't that great as well.

And Giggs I think deserves to get footballer of the year award for PL, maybe even Europe but he is so under-rated.

You a MAN UTD fan too. That is nice. Man utd all the way. I can't believe we have possible chance of wining five trophies this year alone.

It was great to see Eduardo in the Arsenal(even due i hate Arsenal) uniform again, it was a horrific injury that he had. I remember watching the game in which he was injury in.

 

[Lohnt]

Cristiano is go for Real and Becks is a Milanese.. and yet Arshavin going to Arsenal still interests me more, even though I haven't seen him play there yet.
I await Kaka's move.

I am anxiously anticipating the restart of Uefa Cup. I really think things are heating up in this stage of the game, whereas Ch. League is kind of .. bleh atm, even though good matchups are scheduled, injuries and placing more importance on national leagues kind of downplays the matches.

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

I dnt think there are many injuries for Inter vs Milan

 

[Hayashida]

@ Hayashia, u a Chelsea fan or hater?

yeah im a chelsea fan. lol and to all you haters, i didnt have the luxury of following a EPL team where i live or inheriting one from family, i looked at outside factors and followed my gut. im not the type of person to be dissuaded becomes the majority doesnt like it, though with everyone goin on about chelsea's lack of history, it makes me happy that i went with them because i've always copped shit for my lack of history, so screw em.

slow? what italian matches do you watch o.O

You a MAN UTD fan too. That is nice. Man utd all the way. I can't believe we have possible chance of wining five trophies this year alone.

except barca wont lose to anyone so dont count cl

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

Barca are bit over rated in the CL considering their defense isn't great, man utd can take them down.

 

[Hayashida]

lol your kidding right?
i know man u are leading epl at the moment, but barca's form has been impeccable

 

[KnuckleheadedNinja]

except barca wont lose to anyone so dont count cl

lol. Just watch us burst your asses like we did last year in the semis.

 

[Hayashida]

lol i dont go for barca. tbh i'd rather see atletico madrid win it out of the spanish teams.
but unless half of barca get hit by injury i cant see them losing any time soon

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

Don't forget Man Utd have the best defense in the world, so Barca's attack is cancelled out.

 

[Mendes]

You guys have to admit that Barça Is the strongest team in Europe/World right now. If they eventually loose to anyone (including Man U), it'd be a surprise. Surprises happen often in CL, but they Are favorites, whether you want to believe it or not...

There's no evidence that they are the strongest team in the world, yes they are dominating La liga but the true test comes in CL even then they aren't facing a great team of the likes of Man U, Inter, Madrid etc, instead Lyon.

 

[Mendes]

You just have to watch them play one game at full strength to realize they're better than United. Yes, United's probably stronger in the center of the defense, but I dont believe the side backs are all that competent to stop a team like Barça. I mean Rafael da Silva, who's very good at the attacking process, but he's not very good/experienced at defending, specially when he may face henry or iniesta. Then in the other side, if Evra happens not to play, the options are Brown, O'shea or Fabio who wont be able to stop Messi a single time from doing what he wants. I dont see where Barça has weaknesses to be explored, and if Messi doesnt get injured, I'd bet all my money on them(its not that much tough :P).

And United still has to go trough Inter, and I think that'll be a close match. Dont count Inter out just yet!

Still I'd love Man U vs Barça to be the final match of the CL this year, and I hope both teams can play at full strength
