Juve to win on penalties, but Bale to score a pen.
 
Hopefully he comes on at some point and plays well, I haven't seen anything of him really (apart from the obvious e.g. Wales and that goal vs Barca) since he moved to Real.

He just always seems to be injured!
 
So the general feeling is ?

a) Masters of Defensive Juve to win 1-0
b) If Real have to win then it should be 1-0 on pens from a Bale pen following a 0-0 draw aet

Seems you've become addicted to defensive footbal this season :emoticon-0105-wink:
 
I think I'm interested enough to watch this. 1] Because it doesn't involve a glamour English team, with all the hype that would have accompanied it.. 2] I'd like to see how a fantastic defence stands up to a fantastic attack. 3] It being played in the UK and I'd like to see whether any play acting and cheating is tolerated.
 
Shielding the ball out. For how long and physically can you do it before it becomes obstruction?

Not watching, but don't the laws state that the person shielding the ball must be within touching distance of it (unless this has changed).
Have seen many examples of ball shielding when the ball is yards away, making it obstruction in my book.
