Champions League knockout stage draw

Yet another Cameroonian hurts Real Madrid

Both matches were entertaining.

Real should be fine as long as they dont concede at home. They are more than capable of putting 2-3 goals past Lyon at the Bernabeu.

 

[big j 33]

Damn, they had their chances at the end.

Damn, my bad.

Man Utd are in great shape then. I'm not liking Milan's chances now.

Ronaldinho played unbelievably well...I'm surprised he was left off Brazil's team for their friendly next month.

Milan aren't in too bad of shape...a 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 win would see them advance.

Real should be fine as long as they dont concede at home. They are more than capable of putting 2-3 goals past Lyon at the Bernabeu.

Nevermind you fixed it

 

[sirius lee handsome]

What a bunch of overrated bums (Real Madrid). Game at Bernabeau should be exciting.

Wayne Rooney, huh? What's gotten into that guy lately? He really owes a lot to Valencia & Nani this year though imo.

They were terrible for the first 20 mins of the 2nd half but have since taken control of the match.

Lyon may end up regretting the 4 great chances they had to make it 2-0.

I keep hearing this lately and am starting to wonder if people really buy into this. If you were Chelsea/Liverpool would you really take on Rooney for Drogba/Torres? I sure as hell wouldn't. Today he missed a pretty clear shot at goal, scored a quality but not crazy header, and then scored a wide open header that would have been notable only if he missed. I think he is playing better than he ever has, but he's still not really in the class of Drogba or Torres on their best days. I see his improved form more as a result of Ferguson's restructuring of the offense after Ronaldo's departure than any dramatic step forward by Rooney. 
And Milan should have been up 3-0 at least at the half. Horrendous finishing on their part after the Ronaldinho goal. I wasn't really too impressed by Man U, their defense was left totally exposed a good 5-7 times. Milan should be ashamed of themselves for the way they finished inside the box today. 

 

[ritchdad]

yo what channel is this stuff in?????

 

[cool hand Luka]

-Man U's back line was awful, had me shaking my head multiple times
-Haven't seen Ronaldinho play that well in quite awhile (don't watch Serie A at all)
-Why is Beckham getting burn for Milan?
-Thing I enjoy about Rooney as compared to Drogba and Torres is that he works his
butt off in the defensive end and you see him all over the field and he rarely gives upon plays

By 'best striker in the world' I mean the most in-form striker in the game today. He has scored around 25-goals this season and no one's been able to stop him.

I love Drogba but this dude is mad streaky. He's finally scoring goals at a prolific rate again after missing a ton of time due to injuries over the past few years.

There are other strikers in the world I'd take over them but right now both of them are playing unbelievably well.

 

[xtapolapacetl]

All 3 of Man U's goals were savable for Dida. Whenever I watch a Milan game lately, Dida is horrible.

 

[oskar kokoshka]

Dida up to his usual mistakes

Dinho still in good form? He's been good for the majority of this season in Serie A

Bayern v Fiorentina hopefully wont disappoint. JoJo

 

[the black james bond]

Arsenal v Porto coming up shortly! Up Arsenal!

 

[oskar kokoshka]

Arsenal looking real shaky

 

[Sinner]

Yeah, Ronaldinho has looked pretty good as of late. I'd be really surprised if he isn't included in the WC squad. He's still a great asset to have...

Porto looking very sharp early on... easily coulda been 2-0 up.
EDIT ~ Fabianski blunder...

 

... where's Almunia?

EDIT 2 ~ Blast from the past... Sol Campbell with the goal!?

 

[oskar kokoshka]

Fabianski makes a mess.. OG Porto up 1-0.

Edit : Sol Campbell of all people equalizes

 

[ezln1]

1-1....that was quick
how is arsenal doing, btw? I dont keep up with the EPL

 

[oskar kokoshka]

Back pass

 

[Sinner]

wow WTH!?  

Never seen that before... Sol's got to know better... then everyone just switched off!

 

[vrai1]

FIRE THIS FRAUD

Why Wenger insists on having faith in this farce of a keeper I'll never know. Mannone is certainly the better backup. The performance by Arsenal was weak, sure, but this kid's performance was downright amateurish.
