Football always depends on luck. Very little details often make the difference between winning and losing in the very big games. Just look at Schweinsteiger's penalty against Chech - great, excellent penalty - that went against the post. Look at Drogba's goal against them - how often will he score a header like that in his whole career? Once? Twice? You always need luck, luck with your players, luck with the referees, luck with the opponents. That's football, that's life. Chelsea are a poor example. That run was heaven sent and extremely lucky. Bayern missed a hatful. Barca missed a hatful at the Bridge. Cech saved 4 outta 7 penalties. Harsh to claim that as luck tbh As for the rest there was no more luck involved than there was for Barca a few years earlier though tbf, Chelsea battered them, had a couple of solid penalty shouts waved away, and then went behind in the final minute. Same as Inter who sat back and and took a battering away to Barca in the Semis and conceded a legitimate goal which was flagged off. If your keeper saves 2 penalties that would've meant you would lose each time, luck might not be the word but God is certainly on your side. Really? I'm no Barca fanboy but they dominated the Chelsea games although Chelsea looked very dangerous on the counter at the Bridge. But eventually, Chelsea buckled under the heavy pressure which is often the case when you defend all game (same thing happened against Barca). Barca went on to dominate the final. Chelsea on the other hand can't have had anymore than 8 attempts on target in total in the semi's/final whilst the other teams, missed sitters, hit the post etc. My point is, if the Chelsea tactic is your plan. 9/10 you will lose. Cech played absolute blinders. Messi/Robben/Gomez/Fabregas would be unhappy with their finishing. That Greece team weren't so fortunate when they did the impossible. Battered probably wasn't the right word to be fair, Barcelona were certainly lucky not to be 2 behind though had Droba had his shooting boots on/the referee gave a penalty for the stone wall push. And in 2012, although Chelsea did sit back and invite pressure, they did still score 4 goals over the 2 legs when they needed too, the same against Munich, they conceded late but scored when it mattered, it's entirely possible they could have done so again if Robben had have tucked his penalty away.

When he's on the bar man

Is this on the tele?

Cheers Beren FORUM BET

How have Brazil played, before I stick a 10er on that?

I think you just need to forget about that grand like Dinho, just try and pretend id didn't exist You may win it back eventually but you need to forget about it as a target

Such idiocy. It is not a maths equation. All four players are more effective and consistent in their position than Ferdinand is in his own. Rio's career at the top level is rapidly ending and he should plan accordingly. England's best centreback now and into the future is Cahill, imo. Gerrard has been disgustingly bad all season. There was some stat about three quarters through the season that they'd only won 8% of the games he started, which was probably just his usual top drawer showing against us at Anfield. He was utterly bossed by f*ckin Guthrie in that game ffs Gerrard has been bad for a while not just this season. Been living off his CL final success like Liverpool as a club for a very long time. No he fucking wasn't

The fact I cannot even remember this game taking place speaks volumes tbh

We changed the entire team at half time ffs Sven was class

Last time we played you we beat you 3-1 in England. Until we play again, you dont have a leg to stand on. Fucking hell I think the persistent rapings have fucked your logic meter up like

Mark Ogden ‏@MOgdenTelegraph Micah Richards should've been in initial Euro squad, but had he accepted a stand-by role, he'd now be going. His 'no' opened door for Kelly. If I was Micah Richards and told to play second fiddle to Glen Johnson, I'd tell them to f*** off too tbh. s*** attitude if you ask me. Nah, if the authorities s*** on you then you have every right to be the same. The whole England setup stinks from top to bottom. settle down man Neesy's exactly right. Massively OTT

I really don't get the Martin Kelly outrage tbh, it's a bit shit that Richards wasn't first choice, but it's not as if Kelly looks a poor fullback. It's not like the Downing selection in any case, which is just completely undeserved.
