Q. Is Rio and Vidic that good ? Will u expect them to be as good tomorrow ?!
Rio isn't anything special imo, England would be better off playing Carragher next to Terry instead of him. As for Vidic, he is definately a great defender, from what he's shown this season I would personally rate him as one of the top 5 defenders of the season.

Oh, boy, the English media slander is starting already. I condensed their zillion one-sentence paragraphs into two for easier reading. Try not to act too surprised at the source.
"Keeper Dida said the Portuguese ace froze in the first leg — despite scoring in United’s 3-2 victory. The Brazilian also reckons Ronaldo was outplayed by Milan’s two-goal hero Kaka. Dida said: 'The duel between Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo did not even exist in the end. Kaka won that one clearly — not only by two goals to one but by his work on the field. Ronaldo was just not that great. I believe the nerves and the responsibility proved too much for him.' United carry that slender lead into the second leg thanks to Wayne Rooney’s last-gasp strike. But Dida insisted: 'Rooney’s goal was just lucky. It was so far out anything could have happened. By beating us, Manchester United have not proved they are better than us. In fact, they are very lucky the tie is not over already. With the score at 2-1 to Milan they were very close to going out. If we had taken our chances to make it 3-1 then the match and the tie would have been closed out.' "
"Italian World Cup winner Gennaro Gattuso has recovered from the foot injury that cut short his game at Old Trafford. The former Rangers midfielder said: 'For me, this match is more important than the World Cup final. Manchester United should be aware they are still not in the final. It will be an enormous error if they go to Milan with excessive confidence. Surely it will be impossible for us not to arrive in the final.' " (thesun.co.uk)
Yeah right... like Dida would ever say anything like that. The Gattuso one is even more ridiculous, he is the proudest man out of all the WC winners to have even played in the final!! There is no way he would even compare this tothat, especially when he literally plays in a CL semi every season (IMG:
