still... real madrid leads barcelona 5-3 on goals...

 

i'm hoping el decano can snag a place in the uefa cup and make its first european tourney appearance... go recreativo huelva!!!

[_eRon_]

wow, if ronaldinho goes to ac milan? ouch, what a creative midfield they'll have, but i think milan's midfield is enough to win in europe but ironically not in italy hehe

 

which team is roy keane coaching? yun ang gusto ko mapromote, para maglaban ang manutd and ang team na yun, may subplot, sir alex vs roy keane, his former player..

 

tlga? spanish ang gf ni lampard?..i think the blues should get rid of sheva and get crespo back, or if they can't have crespo, get a player like crespo to compliment drogba..

[ron9]

well AC started the seaon with -8 points...ronaldinho and kaka in the midfield, sounds promising, but they did that in the last world cup and that didn't go as planned...i think a change of team will do good for ronaldinho

 

i think roy keane is coaching sunderland

[teio]

kean-o's coaching sunderland...

 

"On January 28, 2007, Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti announced his intention to bid for Ronaldinho in response to AC Milan's acquisition of Ronaldo just days before"

 

come on, i think ronaldhino will make the right choice... that is to stay in the spain...

[damaso]

i think ronaldinho and kaka can play well together if the team plays a "christmas tree" formation, with both of them supporting a lone striker. sa world cup kase, brazil played 2 strikers pa rin - the magic quartet. that obviously didnt work.

 

barcelona needs a revamp, i think. i hope they don't sell eto'o. i'd rather have him than ronaldhinho. for all of the brazilian's party tricks, he doesn't have the cameroonian's cutting edge.

The Black Cats (Sunderland) was just recently relegated from the EPL last season. I guess they're back with a vengeance (and same goes for Birmingham).

 

 

I can really smell the selling of Ronaldinho. Especially if they lose the trophy to Real Madrid.

Come on. If Rhonaldihnio goes to Inter...

 

Zlatan+Rhonaldhno+Adriano+Crespo :thumbsupsmiley:

yeah but eventhough your team is star studded like RMFC or CFC dosen't nesessarily mean you become the team to beat.

I can't wait for "the old lady"'s return!!!

[howard_the_duck]

can't they just play sudden death OT like hockey? penalty shootout are such a bore...

I think they used to have this rule. I think its the "golden or silver" goal rule.

[kodyang]

liverpool.. what do you think?

[damaso]

I think they used to have this rule. I think its the "golden or silver" goal rule.

 

yeah, i dunno why they scrapped it.

 

the golden goal was true sudden death, once a goal was scored the match ends.

 

then they introduced the silver goal, wherein if a goal is scored in the first period of extra time and the opponent does not tie the score, the match finishes when the first ET period ends - no more second period.

 

penalties are a very ugly way of deciding matches, especially if the match happens to be a final. its incredibly, heart-chokingly exciting for me, but not exactly fair.

 

i think if the match ends in a draw in a major final (world cup, uefa champions league, etc), the match should be replayed in 3 days time...

[howard_the_duck]

actually for me the golden goal rule should apply after the 30-min. extra time.
