2013/14 Champions League Football

Just thought I would quote these two exchanges after yesterday's match:

I recommend watching goal 1, 2 and 3.

By the way, English "sports journalist" Simon Mullock (https://twitter.com/MullockSMirror) predicted before the match that Manchester City would destroy, steamroll and outrun Bayern Munich:

What an "expert"...

 

Come on, people get predictions wrong all the time! Quite a bold one to make, though. I guess he was wanting to stand out or something - doesn't seem too realistic to me.

But yes, totally agree about Hart. He's made some serious errors this year. Even last year he looked very iffy. He had a quick rise to the top and was looking solid, but I think English fans gave him too much praise based on the promise. England used to always produce incredible keepers, so I suppose they were really looking for another one. Hart still has decent tools, so not all hope is lost. I expect him to be dropped soon though. Worrying times for England.

 

LOL only bad keepers let Robben score with his RIGHT foot...

De Gea >> Hart

 

I can't remember even one English keeper ever that I would even place closely in the class of a Dutch or German or Italian national team keeper.

On the contrary, I think their keepers have always been the laughingstock of international football.

 

Just came across this and found it quite amusing:

I noticed that the vimeo video no longer exists. Found it on Youtube, though.

Worth watching .

 

I can't get over how Chelsea is favored over Schalke in Gelsenkirchen.
Did someone for Schalke get hurt?

 

Ugh...

 

I'm no soccer expert but every time I watch Barca, Macherano is crapping the bed.


Why didn't they fix that over the summer? Or am I missing something?

 

So you're saying we need a center back? No way!!

Sarcasm aside the market for CBs this summer was rediculous. 50 million for David Luis? No thanks.

 

Thank God for the best player in the world

 

Out of Barcelona's 6 goals in the CL, Messi has 4 of them.

 

Huntelaar, Papadopoulos, Farfan, Höger... Boateng has a minor injury as well, but he's playing at least. I'm not impressed with Chelsea at all, they are not going to be a threat this year.

 

Fernando Torres is back?

 

Dont know why Arsne plays Wilshere so much.

He gives away the ball cheaply. His passes are usually off the mark.

Arsenal looked much better once Cazorla came in for Wilshere.

 

He does thing every year. Plays out of his mind for a game or two then bleeeeh

 

Pretty impressive, like how he's developed under the new system.

 

PSG have the best attack in all of europe.
