dj_flip03 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 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... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now, Capello's problem is if he should still keep Del Piero on the lineup now that Mutu seemed to have proven worthiness. Mukhang mapapalitan na ang captain ng Juventus. Tsk Tsk Tsk. Quote Link to comment
xycho_g Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 i dont think del piero will be out of the lineup yet...he still scores kahit papano...sa mga wins nila sa serie a....he still is a big factor...big help p dn...hopefully as the games progress... Quote Link to comment

_eRon_ Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Schalke 2-2 AC Milanvery good result for schalke, the german side had a draw w/ the finalists ac milan, inconsistent pa din tlga ang milan when compared to juventus who keep their winning ways in the serie a & the CL, tuloy pa din ang criticism ng back four ng ac milan dahil matanda na daw sila (stam, nesta, maldini, cafu).. Fenerbache 3-0 PSVtsk tsk tsk..another disastrous game for the previous quarterfinalists, the dutch side really suffered w/ their key players leaving (van bommel, park, lee, etc.)..nice win for the turkish side proving that their attacking is in par w/ other teams in the CL.. Rosenborg 0-1 Lyonthe french league champions still are proving that they don't need essien to win in europe.. Real Madrid 2-1 Olympiakosthis game still proves that the galacticos are still leaky in the back..lucky for luxemburgo he was bailed out by soldado in the 86th minute.. Liverpool 0-0 ChelseaLiverpool is the kryptonite to the Superstars of Chelsea..masterful coaching and tactics by Benitez to counter the Chelsea attack, if only they could break their defense as well.. Anderlecht 0-1 Real BetisSpanish clubs are still proving that they are still to be reckoned with in Europe (Real Betis, Villareal, Real Madrid, Barcelona) Internazional 1-0 RangersInter stops the ascendancy of Rangers in the CL, hope Rangers can still bounce back & qualify for the group stages to maintain Scottish football's glory.. Porto 2-3 Artmedia Bratislavaanother disaster for the previous winners of the CL, key losses to their players (deco,etc.) as well as their manager (mourinho) really weakened the side, kudos to Artmedia for the stunning win.. Any suggestions on who ManU should buy (midfielders & defenders) during the january transfer window?.. Quote Link to comment
luol_deng Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Any suggestions on who ManU should buy (midfielders & defenders) during the january transfer window?..<{POST_SNAPBACK}> His really gotta find two world class midfielders to replace Scholes & Keane infuture and also for now to push so someone hitting their stride or prime, you can see from the Man U vs Benfica game their really lacking quality from the inside. Scholes again looked dead and not lively and Smith well his not the next Keane. the 4-3-3 formation there using with the two wide men up front does work but you need 3 great midfielders to make that happen like Chelsea. Only Scholes could manage to push but Smith & Fletcher aint world beaters. Smith is nowhere near Keanes level only thing that they have in common is the red & yellow cards they get, Fletcher is a young up & coming scottish player but his not going to push people around yet and nor does he have the level of talent like Ronaldo. Park Ji-Sung is a good midfielder but as a wide player. Keane is nowhere near the fearsome player he was and his now just strolling around the park, Giggs is still a killer but clearly Fergie is not using him to an extent of his talent. They have replaced a good player in Beckham spot but there really missig his pinpoint crosses and passes wish Fergie didnt sell him because of pride and also Jaap Stam! man Jaap was the rock of Man U he scared the bejesus out of strikers like what Pallister use to do. Defenders they need a few more like at full back positions to backup Gary & Mikeal. A central defender wouldnt hurt too. However they should give Pique a chance and maybe get Spector back from loan and use him as a full back clearly Richardson is not a defender and he really wants to run down the wings and confuse the defenders like what he did at West Brom. Man U has missed out on so many chances in getting Essien, Ronaldinho, Deco, Ballack, Thuram, Neved etc list goes on... IF the Glazer can give some money for Fergie to spend then look for at least 3 top quality additions to the midfield, 3 defenders and 1 striker. ur take?? Quote Link to comment
xycho_g Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 astig CL kagabi!...woohoo!...haha...atleast real won with rauls header...astig si beckham... nice comeback by artmedia...haha... atleast intera and betis won... draw lang ang chelsea and liverpool however mas maganda ang game this sunday...its epl and thesame prn ang maglalaban..haha Quote Link to comment
teio Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 regarding manchester united... i think that it is best if they can sign good players from the lower FA leagues... i'm sure that there is an abundance of quality talents among these teams... Quote Link to comment
bubuy Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 ManU seem to have forgotten about their youth program which has produced the likes of beckham, scholes, the neville brothers, et al maybe it's about time they invest again in developing their own youngsters.. Quote Link to comment
luol_deng Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 ManU seem to have forgotten about their youth program which has produced the likes of beckham, scholes, the neville brothers, et al maybe it's about time they invest again in developing their own youngsters.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i wish for that too but now days its not about waiting to win but winning now. Man U can bring their youth in but it would mean they would fall longer behind, the trick is to be winning and bringing players along to win and bringing players from below to win. The best way now for Man U is buy some world class players to overcome their slump and bring in the youth along the way. But for now only Fletcher, Bardsley, Richardson, Rossi, Pique came from the youth ranks theres a few there to become big stars. Quote Link to comment
damaso Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 liverpool should have been awarded 2 penalty kicks against chelsea. esp the clear handball in the area (was it gallas?)... Quote Link to comment
xycho_g Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 yup it was gallas...well i dunno kng bkt walang tawag...siguro pambawi nlng sa goal ng liverpool sa semis last season ng CL...sana naman mas maganda laban this sunday ng two teams... Quote Link to comment

_eRon_ Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 luol_deng Sep 28 2005, 08:50 PM ur take?? ManU should've bought either Essien or Ballack, tsk tsk tsk..or they should've bought more players aside from Park..News indicate that Sir Alex Ferguson is now busy searching for players to strengthen his squad specifically due to the announcement of Roy Keane that this might be his last yr in ManU..i think ManU need a new central midfielder, a legitimate left winger (left footed) and defenders to back up heinze, silvestre, ferdinand & neville to keep w/ Chelsea for the title race, any players in mind?

damaso Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 pele has proclaimed real madrid's brazilian prodigy robinho as the "new pele". and maradona has proclaimed barcelona's lionel messi as the "new maradona". i've heard so many youngster being proclaimed as the successors of those two greats, but after seeing robinho and messi play, this time i think its true... Quote Link to comment
_eRon_ Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 messi & robinho are great players but they should try to make a name for themselves rather than labeling themselves as the new pele & the new maradona..like michael jordan, he was once labeled as the new doctor j, but he made a new for himself.. transfer news: ManU will likely sign Michael Ballack(midfielder),Will Sagnol(left back) and Didier Zakora (midfielder) on the January transfer window, any comments on these possible signings?..

teio Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 check out this article - http://www.soccer365.com/EUROPEAN_NEWS/Pre...99_106890.shtml ballack is more concerned with winning trophies... rather than cash... it seems that ballack is not contented with the domestic trophies that bayern annually wins... bayern has yet to win a major european silverware since their champions' league triumph back in 2001... and ballack is becoming more frustrated with bayern's performance in the last few champions' league seasons... but transfer to manchester united?... it is perhaps a big gamble for ballack... imho... man united is an overachieving team relying on past laurels to sell its image of a strong team... i'm sorry to man united fans... it is just my opinion... they were just lucky back in 1999 when ole gunnar solskjaer struck the late winner... and with real and over-hyped "devils" like wayne rooney and rio ferdinand around... it is hard to predict what man united can achieve this year... going back... with how things are going for bayern this season... it is unlikely that they'll be out of the competition early... ballack should just be more patient and be a team player...

teio Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) champions' league results... bayern munich 2 - juventus 1> sebastian deisler struck a goal in 32nd and martin demichelis added another one in the 39th to give the germans the early lead... zlatan ibrahimovic tucked one int the 90th for the consolation... rapid 0 - club brugge 1> bosko balaban scored the winner in the 75th to give the belgian side a glimmer of hope... while sending the austrians deeper in the cellar... ajax 2 - thun 0> greek striker yannis anastasiou was on target in the 36th and 55th to give the dutch outfit the win over the pesky swiss... sparta 0 - arsenal 2> thierry henry made his return a great one by scoring in the 21st and 74th as the londoners chalked their third straight group stage win... udinese 1 - werder bremen 1> an own goal from felipe in the 64th sent the italians scampering to get an equalizer... and they got it when substitute antonio di michele zipped one in the 86th... panathinaikos 0 - barcelona 0> the greek surprised the visiting spanish champions with their defense that resulted to a goalless result... villareal 1 - benfica 1> argentinian juan roman riquelme scored a penalty in 72nd to give the spanish side the lead... but the effort was waived off in the 77th when manuel fernandes launched a screamer from 35 meters... machester united 0 - lille 0> it was captain roy keane who first succumbed due to an injury... now add ryan giggs after he broke his cheekbone... then add paul scholes who will miss the return bout in paris after picking up two yellow cards... but lille has yet to score...

damaso Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 any predictions on who will win the champions league?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> i thought juve was the prime candidate, but they lost to bayern. chelsea or barca, maybe. and i wouldn't count out lyon. last 2 cups, twas underdogs who won (porto and liverpool). Quote Link to comment
_eRon_ Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 same here, for me the favorites are juventus, chelsea, barcelona as well as lyon and bayern.. but i'm still rooting for Manchester United to win (hopefully, despite problems in their domestic form and injuries plaguing the squad, i sure hope they get players this coming january transfer window..).. but i will not be surprised if the underdogs of europe strike again..i like the format of the champions league (i think each team plays about 16games to win, from groups stages up to the finals)in which they give a chance for underdogs to win, it makes the tournament more exciting..

teio Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 if artmedia does not drop a single game and advances to the knockout stages... i'm placing my bet with this team... the same goes with thun... les douges anyone?... lille has yet to score... they have their chances... but all of it ended in futile results... however... their group is perhaps the most open... villareal and benfica also have their own shares of woe and manchester united is manchester united... they choke and self-destruct... hey... have you noticed arsenal's past three games?... they have yet to suffer a defeat or draw... it seems that their renewed focus on doing their best in the chanmpions' league and staying in the hunt for a CL birth in their domestic league is paying off...

_eRon_ Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 arsenal are running on luck..they still lack the needed tactics to win CL..they lack the key elements to win the CL, some experts say its arsene wenger's lack of european experience or arsenal's kind of play where they don't play rugged football, they always aim for beautiful passing..
