Guest fraser Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 That Boumsong looks a canny defender. don't you mean bassong, mate? Only if Lyon have signed him, otherwise I mean Boumsong. He was playing in a 'other game'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 The best team in Serie A just played a scoreless draw with Inter. What is everyone so excited about Inter were not good tonight, but there has been no advantage gained for either team. Both will need to score on the next matchday. When AC whipped Man U (you know actually scoring in the process) it didn't make Serie A better than Premiership, so I don't think this scoreless draw changes anything proves England's superiority. I do hope Man U and Barca are eliminated in this round though. Would be more interesting in my opinion at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best match of the season and all that. Yet, unsurprisingly, it was nothing like that. One moment of class and nothing much else. What has happened that should change my opinion of this?

brummie Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Are you actually insane? How would that be more interesting? Surely a Barca vs Man United match would be what most football lovers would want to watch? Yes, but why would anyone who supports any PL club other than one of the top four (I'm being nice to Arsenal and temporarily reinstating them here) want to see any one of them do well in Europe? All it does is extend the already large financial and hype gap. Fuck them. I hope they all get to the semi finals, having picked up shit loads of injuries, then two of them bum each other to death on the centre circle in the final. Cunts.

Neil Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I didn't see the game, but Madrid Porto ending 2-2 tonight I'd expect goes to show you don't necessarily have to have the biggest clubs to have the best games, quite often it's to the contrary.

Yorkie Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 That Juninho free-kick was absolutely unreal. One of the best i've ever seen, if not the best. The technique. The view from Juninho's perspective you can really see the whip on the ball. In slow-mo you can criticise the keeper, who probably should have done better, but he won't have anticipated the bend like that. Awesome goal.

Do you get ESPN 360 in Europe? You can watch every full CL match on there. Actually no, obviously you can't, as ESPN does not own rights to the CL in your region. So I guess this has been of no help to you at all. But still, if your ever in the US, ESPN 360 is absolutely fanastic and absolutely free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest quklaani Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 f***ing hell, host on ITV just said Ronaldo's crown as free-kick master is threatened by Juninho. Clueless bastards. He's as good as anyone bar Juninho. Very few players, even the "free kick specialists" score that many a season, Ronaldo got five last year, and three so far this season, that’s up there with Beckham of old, Del Piero, Ronaldinho et al. He just has a bad reputation because when they're shit they're really shit and he tends to shoot from anywhere. Hit the post today though, that would have been a brilliant goal. Juninho is something else though. He doesn't score vastly more than the others, but enough to make him indisputably the best. That and he scores by far the most ridiculously brilliant ones. Like against Bayern a few years back (find a video of this if you can, its stunning.) Oh and he has a tendency to score them on big occasions (relatively) consistently, which is unlike anyone else. He's been my favourite player outside of England for years. Just a final thought, Owen Hargreaves is probably the most underrated set piece "specialist" around. He hardly gets to take any, but they're almost always on target and the one he scored against Arsenal last year is easily amongst the top five Ive ever seen.
