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

[El Kabong]

Do they draw for the next round or what? And also when are the next games

Excuse me for being an ignorant footie fan but I'm in the US the only soccer news we have had lately is about Beckham's injured knee

Lyle you don't have GoalTV or Fox Soccer Channel (FSC) ?
If you don't know look for them I strongly suggest it.....

Those cost extra....I will try and get FSC in the near future. ESPN has aired the Champions League though

They do? You should protest they came with the package I got.....
Yeah! ESPN always airs 2 CL games per tier/stage of the cup......
While ESPNDeportes airs 2 CL games also (but that channel is extra charge with me , I don't have it )

Alright my footy/soccer fans the time has arrived to send 4 more teams home.......
Here are the upcoming games and how I see them.....


4/3
PSV vs. Liverpool - Yes PSV got past Arse, but to me that was a fluke but credit to them for holding Arse scoreless in the 1st match. I see Liverpool wining this game 2-0 with goals by Fowler and uuummmm!! I wanna say Alonso.

AC vs. Bayern - I think Bayerns played well as a team they have certainly come together well. But when you look at them man for man they pretty much match up evenly IMO. I would say ACs defense line is better (experience) then Bayerns but Bayerns forwards have done wonders for them lately and IMO AC just slipped by during qualifiers. Shit! I'm gonna side here with Bayern and say they win this one 1-0 goal by Schweinsteiger.

4/4
Roma vs. Untd. - Tough game here shit!..... I have to root for Untd. here Romas played OK, Tottis played well but it's Mancini who Untd. should be worried about.... Heres hoping C.Ronaldo & The Bulldog show up and do their thing. Put me down for a Untd. 2-1 Mancini to put one down for Roma.

Chelsea vs. Valencia - Valencia takes this game IMO, solely on the fact of how they have performed I mean they knocked off Inter that speaks volumes to me. And if you go back some pages you'll see that I predicted those 2 games vs. Inter to be the toughest to call and yet I managed to call correctly the 1st leg. as I called it a 2-2 draw.... Put me down for a Valencia win 1-0 goal by Villa.


Who you guys picking for the Quarters?

[CutMeMick]

Only 2 hrs. away.....

Trying to escape work to drive to the local bar, to my luck the Regional Mngr. just showed up....

[CutMeMick]

What a goal that was from Pirlo to give AC the 1-0 lead....

Steve Gs goal was real nice, top class dives in mid-air and all to give speed & power to the ball for the 1-0 lead.....
The games 3-0 now with a nice goal by Riise and a goal by Crouchy.....

[CutMeMick]

hoooooo!!! shit!!!!

Bayern came back on AC..... Final score 2-2.... With both goals score by Buyten.


Liverpool-PSV ended in 3-0 as I said earlier.....

Will post videos as soon as they are available....

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Roma 2 vs. Untd. 1

Nice little play on by Mancini as he sneaks past the line and finds Taddei for the 1-0 lead...... C.Ronaldo slips away goes past one and before he faces the next opponent he lets off a roll through pass to Ole and Ole places it over the top to find Rooney in the far post as Ronney chests the ball down and beat the goal keeper for very dramatic 1-1 tie as Roma had been dominating for the most part at the begining of the second half..... I believe Mancini lets off a long hard shot and Van der spits the ball out as Vudici finds it by slidding for it and catching Van der off set for the 2-1.......

For my English mates who suggest that EPL is lights years ahead of everyone, well if you saw Untd. - AS that game would lead you to believe otherwise.... My team Untd. looked lathergic and just completely out runned.
AS played at such a fast pace that Untd. wasn't able to find a rhythim.... Untds. defense looked really bad at times IMO it had to do with them being tired. Untd. was very fotunate to walk off the field with a 2-1 loss it could have been worst....

Credit to Rio & Carrick for holding it together.... Heinze fell asleep in the 1st goal and fell off his mark (Taddei) if you notice he was on Taddei then Taddei makes his move and Heinze looses him....

Chelsea 1 vs. Valencia 1

I didn't see this game but I will as soon as I get home...... so I can't comment much on it... :P


Silva scores! The Spanish Under-21 international stuns the Stamford Bridge crowd with a contender for the goal of this season's competition. Collecting the ball from a throw-in, the 21-year-old surges into the Chelsea half before unleashing a sensational long-range, left-footed strike that arrows into the far corner. Petr Čech stood absolutely no chance.


Drogba scores! The Ivorian striker draws the home side level with his sixth goal in this season's UEFA Champions League. A lofted pass from Ashley Cole is uncharacteristically mis-judged by Roberto Ayala and Drogba pounces to head the bouncing ball over Santiago Cañizares.

Roma 2 - 1 Untd.
