si rooney pla ang youngest player of the year...haha..no doubt abt it...haha..and christiano ronaldo fans youngest player of the year...haha...

kala ko si pter cech or buffon ang goalkeeper...and gerrard isa sa mga midfielders...

oo nga e..si makelele and zidane shouldnt have been there...and dida...siguro tribute nlng kay zidane...haha...

 

will zidane still play in the world cup for france?...

 

i agree that zidane's selection is questionable. though i qualify zidane as the 3rd best player of all-time (behind pele and maradona), he didn't have an outstanding season last year.,,

 

BUT, i 100% agree with makelee's selection. he was probably chelsea's most important player last season. he is the perfect holding midfielder. doesn't do anything spectacular, but does his job effectively and efficiently. lampard was a nobody till he teamed up with makelele. and zidane became the star that he is when he teamed up with makelele in real madrid and france. makelele is a true team player, making the people around him play better.

okay... you convinced me... makelele should be on the list... it is perhaps his low profile style that makes him a doubtful selection...

 

regarding bayen munich...

 

if only they can stop themselves from choking or self-destruction... bayern can pose a real threat to take home the champion's league crown... btw... they were just lucky in their away win against rapid vienna... paolo guerrero happens to be in the right place when that rapid error occured...

Everton fininshed third last season, right? Kaya nga sila nag-qualify sa UEFA this year. What the heck happened to them???

regarding everton...

 

injuries devastated the lineup... resulting to their poor performance in both european and domestic campaign... everton was hammered by dinamo bucaresti, 1-5, in the first leg of their uefa cup tie... and they lost to wigan, 0-1, in their recent premiere league match...

 

vicenzo iaquinta has been dropped from the udinese lineup... yet udinese coach sergi cosmi still believes that udinese will give primera liga outfit barcelona a hard challenge... antonio di natale and david di michele will lead the udinese attack against the catalans who will be boosted by the return of the attacking twosome of ronaldinho and deco... both players were rested by frank rijkaard in their 4-1 win against real betis balompie...

 

former sparta praha captain karel poborsky was loaned to czech second division team sk dynamo ceske budejovice after his harsh comments against coach jaroslav hribik... sparta will next face rags-to-riches team fc thun...

huddle up... champions' league matchday 2 results...

 

bayern munich 1 - club brugge 0

> argentina defender martin demichelis flicked in a corner from ze roberto in the 32nd... claudio pizarro, ali karimi, and owen hargreaves were unavailable for the germans due to injuries...

 

juventus 3 - rapid 0

> the austrians were simply outclassed by the italian champs... david trezeguet scored in the 27th... followed by goals from adrian mutu and zlatan ibrahimovic in the 82nd and 85th, respectively... juve was denied the service of patrick vieira due to suspension...

 

ajax 1 - arsenal 2

> fredrik ljunberg chalked one in the 2nd while robert pires doubled the lead with a penalty goal in the 69th... markus rosenberg scored in the 71st to scare the londoners... arsenal was without strikers dennis bergkamp and thierry henry due to injury and robin van persie and jens lehmann due to suspension...

 

thun 1 - sparta 0

> the cinderella story continues in the swiss alps as selver hodzic's late winner in the 89th gave thun the upperhand against the visiting czechs... both sides were without their captains as thun's andreas gerber was on the bench with an achilles problem and sparta's karel poborsky was loaned to a czech second division after falling out with coach jaroslav hrebik... thun also missed the service of tiago bernardi who suffered a concussion in a recent game...

 

panathinaikos 2 - werder bremen 1

> a 2nd minute penalty goal from ezequiel gonzales and a strike from evagelos mantzios in the 8th propelled the greek entrants... miroslav klose tucked one in the 41st to pull bremen close... but ivan klasnic was sent off after a hard head collision with ioannis goumas that left the greek a bloodied mess...

 

barcelona 4 - udinese 1

> ronaldinho scores a hat-trick against a stumbling udinese side that is without star striker vicenzo iaquinta... the shifty brazilian first struck in the 13th before felipe tied things up for the italians in the 24th... it was all barcelona since then as ronaldinho outwitted morgan de sanctis in the 32nd to give the catalans the lead... portugal midfielder deco doubled the lead in the 41st... ronaldinho capped things with a superb penalty goal in the 90th...

 

machester united 2 - benfica 1

> ryan giggs opened the scoring in the 39th through a set play... but simao's screamer 59th erased the red devils' lead... in the 85th, ruud van nistelrooy took advantage of giggs' corner that ricocheted off rio ferdinand and nuno gomes to score the deciding goal for the english club...

 

lille 0 - villareal 0

> both clubs are still looking for their first champions' league goals... but various miscues derailed both lille and villareal from scoring as both clubs settled to share the spoils of the game...
