Great, England's hopes now lie in the hands of Chelski. Again. (Saying that, it went alright last time ) Basel look a very good outfit. Won't be surprised if they get to the final.
To be fair, Spurs should've been eliminated before the shootout. Basel were all over them for extra time. Basel deserved it, can't deny that. Vertonghen's red was the key point - if Spurs had gone into ET with all 11 men, they wouldve been favorites.
agreed, watching City or listening to City (the norm for me) is stressful, other games are enjoyment!
I find watching other English teams in Europe a bit stressful (bar Man Utd), but watching two foreign sides is usually very enjoyable. One good example was probably PSG 2-2 Barca in Paris (it was on at the same time as the Watford match, I recorded it), the match was 94 minutes of end-to-end attacking footie, the last 5 minutes being fantastic...
I've said the last 3 years munich will win the champions league.. lost two finals and now they're absolutely rampant
I'm ****ing loving this. So glad I put money on Bayern... Just need Dortmund to win and my prediction is complete. Munich will dominate European football for the next few years, like Barca have been for the previous few.
I feel such a twerp for being 'the only **** in the world' who thinks Barca isnt the best team in the world.
Bayern stopped Barca playing which is very impressive, although it says a lot about Barca that doing so is regarded as so remarkable. However, if you actually have a bit of perspective, Messi clearly wasn't fit and 2 of Bayern's goals shouldn't have stood, at 2-0 I'd still fancy Barca to win it. Before you mention it, I didn't think either should've been penalties for Bayern. Furthermore, the Bayern tactic was to kick lumps out of them. Every time Messi got the ball, Martinez & Schweinsteiger just hacked at him. At one point Gomez knew he wouldn't be able to keep up with him so just wiped him clean out. It's a great result for Bayern but I didn't find it a satisfying performance to watch by them.
I was came on here to look for this thread, but someone had bumped it already... Barcelona best team in the world?
Just goes to show there's no bleedin point in them officials behind the goal. How the hell did none of them see the Bayern player deliberately take out the Barca defender when he turned? Another cock up for FIFA & UEFA.
Yeah Barcelona can whine all they want, they have had more than their fair share of ridiculous decisions go for them over the years. Bloody hate Barcelona
Barca have been the best team in the world in the last 5 years. Obviously not any more. I'm glad because I hate the tip tap football they play !
