UEFA Champions League 2011-2012

Welcome to the club. Who's your team?

Just don't watch Italian soccer. I can't stand it for the life of me.

 

The basic principle is DO NOT LET THE OTHER TEAM SCORE.

No, but seriously folks... I think you'll see different formations will attempt to use different skills according to players on the field.

From what I personally have played mostly, the stopper/sweeper configuration will defensively benefit teams with a strong attacking stopper and a leading sweeper who is the one dictating where the defense should push for an offside line. I recall seeing this formation more frequently in Mexico, though... I don't think I've seen it in Europe. I'm referring to the formation on the left on this here page: http://pointme.to/soccer/442formation.htm .

 

Seems like playing with a Libero, European teams did it for centuries but stopped years ago.

 

MacCity going to kick some arse today. The new superpower in football is now going to take over the rest of Europe.

 

Sir Ryan Giggs is just pure class what a player

 

Bayern the only team that played well tonight, disappointing night for English and Italian fans.

 

All those Man city or Man U fans have no place to talk after this.
Barca will rebound and I'm sure those two clubs will too.

 

Trabzonspor beat Inter, lol.

 

with all due respect wtf u talking about? i didnt catch the city game but united got a good result considering they see the chelsea game of more importance. its obvious to see that the midfield of park, carrick, giggs, n fletcher are rusty.

 

I'm ill too, but have no tickets(poor student). Feel for you.

Think it'll be a great match filled with energy, outcome 3-2 for Bayern. City happens to be my 2nd favourite club(before the millions came in, no bandwagon fan), but of course I'm only rooting for Bayern.

 

forgot to DVR.

too bad I really wanted to see Man City vs Bayern. Hopefully they replay tonight.

 

Check the Toycen threads for excuses. :grin:

 

I believe FSC are replaying it tonight. Possibly 2am est/1am cst. Check your guide again when you get back.

 

YES YES YES!!!!!

 

Yea ATW, that's my boooi. Bayern-Barca in Allianz Arena next year, I see it.

 

Remember how all my friends said Gomez is a bust back in 2008 after EC and his first Bayern games. No one believed me when I said Gomez is the most talended striker Germany has and will be the #1 German striker for many years. Should all holla at me now, lol.

 

De Jong for Dzeko, City fearing to get embarassed hehe.

 

Bayern so dominant this season, never in dangerous situations, always dictatin the pace. Love what Heynckes did with our guys.
