ron9 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I was rooting for Barca but the game did not disappoint. It was a fantastic game of attacking football. Mourinho must be give some praise for having the balls to have four attackers from the very beginning - Duff, Kezman, Gudjohnssen, Cole. It proved to be the right strategy as it exploited Barca's sometime suspect defense. Ronaldinho's second goal was just pure magic. I was rooting for Barca but I could'nt be that disappointed because it was a wonderful game to watch. And coming from a land so obsessed with basketball, watching football at its highest intensity and form is a blessing. Chelsea vs AC Milan next round? Another good match to watch.

Another good match to watch.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> darn, i really did miss something- i was planning to check in a hotel or something just to watch the match but then i had clinics so no time... i dont exactly like mourinho-hes definitely a good manager-what i hate about him is he keeps on whining..he blabbers too much.....why can't he just shut up and let his team do the talking.....am pretty sure terry, lampard, cech and robben can do that for him.... as for barca, i could almost pity the next team they play against...and i think they need to shore up their defense...marquez i guess wasnt around during the match...puyol needs more reliable guys with him at the back.......

damaso Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 i used to admire mourinho because he was so cool and collected. now he's becoming a dick. it's not really smart to slander referees then start a word war with the uefa bosses. now the uefa chief executive and the uefa referees' chief both brand mourinho an "enemy of football". respect authority jose!

damaso Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 brazil 1 peru 0, world cup qualifying i didnt see the match but i read the newsclips. ronaldo missed an open goal and 2 other easy chances, and basically "huffed and puffed his way" throughout the match. i think its time to give inter milan's adriano a chance. at the very least, it would make ronaldo work harder. ronaldo should no longer be considered an automatic starter for brazil. heck, he shouldn't even be automatic for real madrid, considering michael owen's good form.
