*UEFA C. L.(Min. by Min. Action + goal vids) Final 5/23*

[beds]

Fletcher

Yes, mate really. Did you see the entire game?

If you did you'll notice Fletcher allover the place I mean really I've seen the 3 times now and all hear and see is Fletcher putting on the pressure and running up and down that pitch.
My 2nd close player of the match would be Giggs for putting on the set pieces.

he played ok, carrick played to his price tag but smith was the difference in utd, he wouldnt let the roma defenders settle, theres never a lost ball with smith, works his ass off every game

Smith played well I just don't think he did enough to be man of the match.

ronaldo was superb as usual

Well not as usual hes been a little shakey lately but hes still at top level, I think he played that way after hearing/reading what Rooney said in a interview about him (Rooney) wanting to see some magic from Ronaldo.

gonna be an all english final this year

So you think Untd. will do a number on Milan?
How do you see it going as far as scores?

yes i saw the whole game, fletcher misplaces to many passes to be motm, also not creative enough, passes sideways and thts all
shouldnt be a starter at man utd ever, fergie just wants him to be scotland captain

smith started his 4 th game of the season after tht horrid leg breaking injury, in the 1st leg, roma defenders would get the ball and man utd would back off giving roma time to make something of it, smith doesnt let that happen, he chases everything, never lets anyone settle, thats wat man utd have missed, you can be 2-0 down with 10 seconds to go and smith would still chase a ball that hes never gonna make, plays with pride

Ronaldo had a hand in everything, he pulls players towards him creating space for others to exploit. best player in the world this year

cant see milan putting 1 over on utd
it will be good though, will go 4-2 utd on agg

chelsea i see progressing to the final 2
this has been there worst season under mourinho so far in terms of injurys etc but they grind out the wins and i think there to strong for the reds this year

SHIT!
I completely forgot about this this....

Well here it is Untd. has defeated Milan.... 3-2


5 Cristiano Ronaldo (Man. United) scores! A corner comes over and Manchester United take a dramatic early lead. Cristiano Ronaldo's header is pushed up into the air by Dida who then palms the ball into his own net at the second attempt under pressure from Gabriel Heinze.


22 Kaká (Milan) scores! Milan draw level as a Clarence Seedorf through-ball is picked up by Kaká on the edge of the penalty area, controlling the ball with his right foot before firing it into the far corner of the net with his left. The Brazilian's eighth goal in the competition this season gives the visitors a crucial away goal.
22 Fletcher (Man. United) gives away a free-kick following a challenge on Ambrosini (Milan).


37 Kaká (Milan) scores! A mix-up in the United defence between Gabriel Heinze and Evra lets Kaká get through on goal to slot the ball underneath Edwin van der Sar for his second goal of the night, putting Milan ahead eight minutes before the break.


59 Rooney (Man. United) scores! The home side draw level as Paul Scholes flicks the ball right-footed into Wayne Rooney's path and the England striker's prod towards goal is half-stopped by Dida but the Brazilian goalkeeper can only watch helplessly as the ball bounces over the line.


0+1Rooney (Man. United) scores! A minute into added time and Giggs slips the ball into the path of Rooney, outside the penalty area on the right, and he drills it low and hard to beat Dida at his near post and give the hosts a dramatic 3-2 edge. Rooney has doubled his tally in the UEFA Champions League this season tonight and they are goals that should give the English club a lead to take to Italy.

Personally i cant stand Man United they are full of arrogant self obsessed wankjars !!

Last night though with a depleted squad they turned it on at exactly the right time but i honestly think if Old Glaswegian Gattuso hadnt gone off it would have been a different story !

Kaka was outstanding last night he is a thoroughbread athlete with great skill and an eye for Goal his 1st was a Magnifique!!

But credit to united they rode their Luck and after Rooneys equaliser they went up a gear and played at a tempo only an on song united can !!

Its finally poised but i fancy united its the kinda backs to the wall sceneario that always seems to favour United !!!

I just cant wait for the Media to dig up all the important trivia on how An English Clubhasnt beaten Milan in Milan when the 4th Moon of Jupiter was in conjunction with Uranus since 1896 all that other shit that doesnt matter !!

United can have so many players so off song like they did last night Evra , Hienze ,Brown and even Scholes and Carrick wernt as influential as they have been for long periods last night and still win!

Milan may have missed the boat , United will score in the San Siro and they have the advantage !

I root for Untd. always have.
About the squad, well I mean thats usually the score with teams like Untd. / Madrid and teams like that who are at their leagues fore fronts. Media/papers etc. etc. the teams are full of stars who are all media hungry....

Last night though with a depleted squad they turned it on at exactly the right time but i honestly think if Old Glaswegian Gattuso hadnt gone off it would have been a different story !

I agree, Gatusso plays a HUGE role in that field hes that extra push and pressure thats needed to make your opponents second guess a pass and or a shot.

Kaka was outstanding last night he is a thoroughbread athlete with great skill and an eye for Goal his 1st was a Magnifique!!

Their is no doubt in my mind that the ever so talk battle of whos better Kaka or Aimar has been defined a while back.
That goal was special thats for sure.

I just cant wait for the Media to dig up all the important trivia on how An English Clubhasnt beaten Milan in Milan when the 4th Moon of Jupiter was in conjunction with Uranus since 1896 all that other shit that doesnt matter !!

It's 1996 not 1896.

United can have so many players so off song like they did last night Evra , Hienze ,Brown and even Scholes and Carrick wernt as influential as they have been for long periods last night and still win!

I still don't know how they managed that win I mean not only were players out of sync but to take into consideration the injuries it's crazy that they got that win.

Milan may have missed the boat , United will score in the San Siro and they have the advantage !

Well as I said I'm Untd. all the way BUT I think Milans gonna walk away with the 2nd game. I really do, Kaka will kick it up a notch and just put on a clinic over in Italy Pirlos gonna have one of his best games from there on it's all Milan.

CutmeMick where does your love of Football come from ?

Well mate growing up my uncles 1st got me into boxing as kid up untill I was like 4 then my grandpa started taking me to the park to play footy with him. For years I played footy from 5 and on up untill today I play in a Sunday league out here where I live 2 weeks ago we reached the finals loosing only 2 games through the season. We lost the finals in penalties it would have been our 3rd Championship but it wasn't to be. So I guess my passion for it comes from my childhood playing it youth teams since the age of and following leagues. Also on my moms side 2 of her uncles played professionally in for one of Mexicos biggest teams Chivas de Guadalajara so it's always been a part of the fam. Also living in Mexico you play on the streets it's Mexicos most popular sport. I TRY very hard to follow different leagues I follow more closely the FMF, EPL & LFP. I also look into the Italian league and the German league but not soo much as the others.
I know what it feels like to score a wining goal in a final, I also know what it feels like to miss a penalty in a final it's feelings that only one can feel when your standing there ready for the whistle.
Cheers mate!!
Heres CC#63 on me and thanks for your input for a second here I thought, "Well I guess I'm the only footy fan here" but hey! I don't mind talking to myself about footy.
Shit! I might even contradict myself

BTW,
Did you ever see that old cartoon 'The Hurricanes'?

Chelsea 1 - 0 Liverpool

Oh! Lyle....

I just think Chelseas gonna do it here and in the 2nd leg. I think they have enough to edge out a 3-2 aggr. win.....


J. Cole scores! Didier Drogba uses his power to get beyond Daniel Agger on the right and roll the ball into the path of Joe Cole, who arrived to slot low beyond Pepe Reina at the near-post and give Chelsea a deserved lead. The goal is the England man's first in Europe this season and what a crucial one.

Not only was I pissed off that Liverpool lost...I have to work on my day off (tomorrow)....the reason Liverpool lost was because they didn't use Crouch early enough and Kuyt screwed up when he was given a great chance.....and Cech got LUCKY AS FUCK saving Stevie G's shot!!!!

I will be watching the game next Tuesday and I personally will pull them through!!!

I highly doubt that the result of the next leg will be the same....Chelsea will choke at Anfield!

I don't know Lyle, Chelsea played some of the best Defense I've seen in the Cup thus far.
I just don't see how Liverpool can get past that....
Liverpools gonna have to kick it up a notch and play some of the best footy they played thus far.

#1 Bellamey will sit next game, #2 Stevie G will play in a different position, #3 All Liverpool has to do is win by 1

Alright!!

Let's do this, let's find out who's gonna be the 1st team to play in the finals.

Will Liverpool climb out of the 1-0 loss or will Chelsea seal the deal and put themselves through?

Should be a good game and if Liverpool can strike early & 1st they can certainly pull it off.
Chelsea played some of the best defense I've seen in the 1st leg they completely shut out Liverpool if they I personally DON'T like when teams go out and defend a lead without some plan of attack, Chelsea has to continue to defend well and at the same time counter attack.

[CutMeMick]

Oh! shit! Liverpool equalizes

22 Agger (Liverpool) scores! Liverpool restore parity in the tie overall as Steven Gerrard's clever free kick is played to the edge of the penalty area for Daniel Agger to place a precision shot just inside the post and send the home crowd into a frenzy of delight. The Danish international's first-ever goal in Europe could not have come at a more crucial moment.

[CutMeMick]

So the games gone into Extra Time now and the games still 1-1 aggr.
Crouch had a goal flagged off....
Chelseas had a lot of missed oppourtunities....

Cracking game I'm listening to it on Syrus

[CutMeMick]

And their off to penalties....

Edge goes to Cech on pen. as I think he can stop 1 or 2 shots...

Oh! boy I wish I was watching now.
