damaso Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 arsenal has won the fa cup, beating man utd 5-4 on penalties after a goalless draw. it was an undeserved win, as man utd dominated the match. wayne rooney was his usual spectacular self, but it was as if there was a forcefield in the arsenal goal. on a funny note, the arsenal fans were chanting "usa, usa, usa" mocking the man utd fans over the apparent takeover of man utd by american malcolm glazer. also, juventus has secured the italian serie a title...

damaso Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 one of the hottest young defenders in europe is gabriel milito of real zaragoza. rumours have it that liverpool, man utd, barcelona and valencia are after the young argentine. if i recall correctly, milito was brought to europe by real madrid, but did not complete the transfer coz he failed his medical test. a year after, real madrid paid $25 million to newcastle for injured defender jonathan woodgate. and till today, woodgate has not played a single game due to injury, while milito is now one of the top players in spain. the irony!

howard_the_duck Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 FA Cup won via penalties? that's bad Quote Link to comment
_eRon_ Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 AAAAHHHH! what a crappy fa cup final!!?!?! :grr: ManUtd lost to Arsenal in penalties, 5-4..so sad i think ManU should strengthen their midfield & their defense during the offseason, eventhough ruud wasted opportunities to win the game, i still think ManU lacks the supply of quality passes which were very abundant when they won the treble during the '99 season..they also need to have key changes in their defense, inconsistency is the main problem.. wow, barca signed van bommel, he's a quality player, a hard nosed midfielder w/ leadership qualities, i was hoping ManU could sign him ..how old is he?..poor psv losing their quality players to bigger clubs..tsk tsk tsk..real madrid is in for a huge battle next year when they challenge barca for the la liga..w/ players such as van bommel, deco, eto'o, ronaldinho, they'll the favorites for a repeat.. :cool: Quote Link to comment
damaso Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 why malcolm glazer will bring about man utd's downfall... no, its not about him being american. its about him being a businessman, with no love for football (except maybe for the american kind). glazer bought man utd because the club has been earning around $15-$30 million a year, not because they are one of the top 3 teams in england. glazer is rich, but he is not in the league of chelsea's roman abramovich. abramovich bought chelsea not to make money, but because he loves the sport. he buys players without caring if the chelsea's bottomline is in the red. glazer is opposite. he sees man utd as a business and not a football club. he is not prepared to lose money just so he can buy the best players for man u. another problem, is that glazer financed the takeover by borrowing a huge amount of money (abt $500 million). by privatizing man utd, he can now transfer that debt to the club. which means man utd will now be $500 million in debt. to stay afloat, man utd needs to have profits of $50 million a year. so the $15-$30 million they now make is not enough. to earn extra, u can be sure the best players will be sold, and most of the players' salaries will be cut. so what will happen to man utd then?

bubuy Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 dont forget the rise in ticket prices.. :cry: even if you're not a ManUtd fan, this is bad for football.. :cry: Quote Link to comment
damaso Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 the champions league final is tomorrow, but damn, i have work! wonder if i can fake a stomach problem so i can be on sick leave haha. i thought all along that the co-favorites for the title were barcelona and ac milan. and against liverpool, ac milan should win. man for man, milan is clearly the better team. BUT, liverpool has shown that they are better tactically. if liverpool shows the same grit and determination as they showed against chelsea, and if cisse's speed causes problems for the aging defense of milan.........i smell an upset!

damaso Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 i think brazil should bring rivaldo back to their world cup squad. after the 2002 cup triumph, then brazil manager scolari said rivaldo was the best player of the tournament. and this season, rivaldo led olympiakos to the double (league and cup champions) in greece.
