waooww european championship is getting closer every day..and there is not much time left before turkey beats portugal

seriously guys, i just want some outsider opinions about turkey and qualifying from that group, do you think we can make it?

Turkey
Portugal
Czech
Switzerland

Turkey? I got a couple friends who are Turkish. And no i dont think u guys will make it but if u do I hope you take out Portugal, I hate them. They took out England last World Cup, that pissed me off. This Euro championship isnt gonna be as exciting for me cause stupid England didnt even qualify

More like Scolari pisses us off. 02, 04, and 06...i really dont like that man. >.>

Anyway today is the Fa cup final, im feel like rooting for the underdogs cardiff city, but if portsmouth wins then a chance a english team will get to the uefa cup final will be higher. So im kinda stuck in a dilema, i think ill just see who plays the better football.

And i never laughed harder. It might be true, but i just have this picture of mancini telling figo to go and make ancelotti sleep with the fishes, and i cant get it out. XD

LOL, damn you guys, Christiano and his ugly smile, I only respect Ronaldo cause he plays for Man U but other than that I hate his guts

It was the cheeky wink at Rooney when he got sent off that pissed of the england fans and the press

*nostalgic memories :'D*

Well, Inter won the Serie A in the last sprint match. Zlatan saved this season for Inter, coming from injury he entered minute 50 and scored 2 goals soon after, breaking the tie and specially, breaking Inter's nervousness with Roma winning in the Catania match at that time. Figo says he'll play for another season, which is nice, I love watching him play.

In Spain, we wont have Sevilla in the CL this time. Atletico Madrid will take its place. Valencia saved their asses in the last matches and got themselves a 10th spot. They'll play the UEFA cup next season via Copa del Rey.

Porto *snif* lost the cup final with Sporting CP. 2-0 in the extra time. Its been pretty obvious to me that Porto's players have already closed the store since they won the league. Most players are already thinking of the club they will represent next... and Bosingwa... well, he didnt play, because Chelsea demanded that he wouldnt play the final so that he wouldnt get injured -_- His transfer was inevitable, but the timing was horrible. I cant believe Porto actually didnt use him coz of Chelsea's demands...

^ I was watching the inter game, they were stumbling and bumbling until zlatan came on. The guy on his third shot won the title for them. He came on and then BAM! Goal. But more importantly Milan wont be playing in the CL, I - the ever bitter arsenal fan - wish luck to flamini in the coming uefa cup, i hope he does really well.

That wasnt only it, he was also trying to get him sent off. Rooney deserved the red card for trying to destroy carvalho's familey jewels but their was no reason for ronaldo to run across the pitch and complain to the ref and try to get his teammate sent off. Then came the "wink". And as Shearer - ever the gentleman - kindly put it "If i was rooney i would stick one in him" -> that is how everyone felt (...and i really wont be surprised if rooney did >.>). But if you look at it, it was club vs country and the fact that country won should not really be surprising.

 

[rtyd1]

Actually Ronaldo has said that he was just complaining that it was a foul to the referee not that it was a red card offence, Can we believe him though.
If you see the replay there was no malice in rooney when he reduced Carvalho's sperm count it was an accident and he should not have been sent off

Yea, he wasnt even looking where he was stepping to be honest. But the referee said it was "violent conduct" and i do see where he was coming from. But im sure it could have easily been a yellow or even just a lecture since rooney wasnt looking...but ronaldo came in with his badgering so he had no choice i guess. That kind of tackle could be anything from a red to a lecture...and i guess ronaldo knew that and tried to get the best out of it...>.>;

 

[rtyd1]

There is no doubt Ronaldo behaved like a right twat in approaching the ref, i think some kind of rule should be imposed that only the captain can approach the ref or its a booking for the player

 

[Mendes]

I've discussed with you guys this matter of the captain isnt as important in most countries in comparison to as it is in England. And in Portugal, we actually couldnt care less who the captain is. Its just a symbolic 'title' given to the player with the most international games.

As for Ronaldo crying for Rooney's expulsion... I must say that's totally his style. What'd you expect? Its not club vs country, its just his dumb personality and bad attitude. If he had thought that trough, he'd think of the implications it would bring in the club and in the supporters. He was really lucky with the outcome of it, with Rooney saying it was past waters and Fergunson pointing their friendship. Ronaldo's shape increase was also very important. Merit for him on that

 

[rtyd1]

Ronaldo also said in the same interview that he would do the same thing again if the same situation arose in a match and that he has no regrets. Im guessing this time though he'll be off to Madrid

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

ronaldo aint going to madrid, maybe in 2 seasons time but not next season. Ronaldo rulz!!

 

[rtyd1]

A Man U fan i see good on ya. I think Ronaldo will move to Madrid before his carreer is up but not this year unless he does something stupid. Btw i dont think 100 million is enough for Ronaldo, he'll earn the club more than that if they keep wining like this season

yh when he does leave, i'm sure we can buy a handful of good players, and we do have nani.

Teams and subs :
4-3-3 will see Frank Lampard and Michael Ballack getting forward to support Didier Drogba through the middle, with Florent Malouda and Joe Cole on the wings.

United's line-up is more surprising. Fergie has left Ji-Sung Park out of the squad completely and Carlos Tevez will start alongside Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo in a 4-3-3.

Here are the subs,
Chelsea: Cudicini, Shevchenko, Mikel, Kalou, Alex, Belletti, Anelka.
United: Kuszczak, Anderson, Giggs, Nani, O'Shea, Fletcher, Silvestre

Spoiler

Man U won 6 - 5 on penalties

 

[thegreatest08]

[Totinona]

Can't believe Man.U actually won.What Van der Sar did before the penalty,pointing to the left,was very smart.
If I say so myself.

Anyways,congratulations to all united fans here. :>

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

CAN'T BELIEVE MANU WON! I REALLY THOUGHT TERRY WOULD SCORE, MAN!! RONALDO SCORED AND MISSED! WHAT A GAME. GLORY UNITED.
