A few more random pics.

RVP continuing to wear Adi...

What a save...

Could and should have been 3-1 to Madrid.

U fail to take into account van persies three scoring chances by simply looking at madrids scoring chances. Great job.

 

[shannonscrooks]

how'd Gus Johnson do yall?

Granted I am not as well versed as 99% in this thread as to the intriciacies of the game but I thought he was great.

I only saw the highlights i didn't catch the game....but honestly De Gea's finger on Concentrao's (sp) shot saved a goal. And watching the highlights i said twice...welp RVP gonna finish this like he always does. Keeper saves off bar...and he completely botched that volley that Alonso cleared off the line.

But i really didn't think that De Gea kick save was necessary...he was just falling backwards expecting a big shot...and it was a miss hit that bounced at him. It does seem like a lot of people are saying Real Madrid were the better team...but after watching the highlights it seemed both teams had chances and it could have gone either way (but highlights are made to portray that stuff i understand)

Ronaldo's jumping ability.....good lord.

Meh, he was serviceable. In truth, I expected a lot worse. The game did seem to move too fast for him. Although you hear facts & figures from him (showing he's been studying), you don't hear much in the way of observations or critiques you see from other announcers. I still don't understand fox handing duties like this to someone who really doesn't know the game but I guess that's fox for you.

Great pics above especially the CR7 header & the hug between CR7 & his "football father". If I heard correctly on the Fox Limits show with CR7, he has a slightly higher vert than the average NBA player.

^They are trying to capture addtional audience, people like myself who may not be familiar with all the ins and outs but are intrigued by the game and enjoy Gus' other work in other sports.

What a game by DDG. Absolutely massive. Damn the lineup/tactics...

As for Gus, I didn't really notice him, which is all I ask.

Glad it's going back to Manchester with everything in the balance. Will have that afternoon off since I have a licensing exam to take that morning. Can't wait.

How are good are their chances against Messi & Co ?

I thought Balotelli couldn't play because he already played for Manchester City in UCL

You're right.

Didn't know that :\

Ac Milan's chance is say about 2/10

 

[jada2001retro]

Barcelona is not as strong this year as they've been in the past few, I think it's a pretty even series.

That's what I was asking for also, but I made it a point to listen to him to see how he did with such a big game.

Inter turned down a £20 deal from Man Utd for Sneijder...

Interesting

 

[Sinner]

Hulk smash.

 

[Deleted member 38182]

I just got Fox Soccer so I can listen to Gus call games

Hopefully he keeps it American and creates his own unique terms and vocab rather than going al technical and European on us.

I loved how he kept saying "crossover" for whenever a player would move the ball from foot to foot

Inter wanted to cash in on the Sneijder hype after his performance in the WC.

[mytsharp]

My son Gareth does it again.

Wicked dip.

[Kimchi Papi]

Wow, Bale is on fire for the Spurs as of late... (Tottenham vs Lyonnais)....

 

[rook]

GET BALE AT REAL MADRID ALREADY

 

[chippedtoothsmile]

GET BALE AT REAL MADRID ALREADY

doesn't he play the same position as Ronaldo tho

Edit: just seen't that free kick. Nasty!

 

[taj gibson]

GET BALE AT REAL MADRID ALREADY

And compete with Ronaldo for the same position? He's said before that he's loyal to the Hotspur, but as his worth keeps rising and his trophy case remains empty he's going to end up making a move. I doubt he leaves England though, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in a United kit in the future.
