QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Sep 27 2007, 04:46 AM) Even as a Sevilla fan, I agree. I think experience counts for a whole lot in this competition, and Sevilla just don't have it. If they get any half decen team in the round of 16, I think they're out. (I am even thinking I'd prefer them to finish 3rd in the group to put them back in the UEFA Cup - try and make it a hat-trick!)  Now that is a more realistic target for them. |

QUOTE (Rossoneri7 @ Sep 27 2007, 03:15 AM) Even if they do pass the group stage (as I predict Celtic will) ... Whoever they will meet will knock them out. They just don't stand a chance in the CL. I would love to label them as the black horse, but realistically speaking they lack a lot. I don't think Celtic will. From what I have seen this season from them ain't convinced me. Shakhtar has a better chance IMO. About Sevilla, it's about timing. Now they are bad form, bad in February/March it can be complitely different story. Of course they won't win the trophy but capable do some damage. For example last season, Lyon played great early on, but were very weak in winter. With Milan it was the other way around. In CL besides experience ,of course, you gotta be on your top when it counts - spring. |

It is their first time in the CL, it's a new environment, a new competition. Experience does count, if not in the players then most definitely in the coach !! Lyon played several editions of the competition to start causing others trouble ... As I said, I would love to label then the dark horse, but they do lack something to go the distance in this competition. Maybe next yr or the yr after that they will prove a point, but now. Again IMO and it is all really up in the air right now .. Celtic and Shakhtar ... Did that game finish in a draw ?! I don't know they both are good teams, I can't really choose between them, but considering Celtic made it through in the past, I would give them the nod to do it again .. |

I said that of course experience is important, but when they are inform they can cause trouble to many teams. It's not like they gonna win the whole thing, but with players that they have and with a good draw, quarter final is possible. Uefa cup is surely not as good but still they won it twice ,playing good and now they are taking the next step. The Puerta death influenced them a lot and after some time we would see a much better game from them. Shakhtar won 2:0 (could have been much more) and in a good form right now, while Celtic struggling. |

Aha ... Well, we'll see. Sevilla have to really turn it on if they want to qualify or pass the Quarters (which is IMO a difficult task for them) .. Of course they wont win it !!! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Milan will win it (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif)
O yeah, Shakhtar won .. I keep asserting to myself that they drew for some reason .. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

Real Madrid have just kicked off at home against Seville's second rate team, Betis, hopefully another slaughter is on the cards. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hey, the Beticos were absolutely amazing after Puerta died. From club president to players to fans. They've earned my respect even though of the city teams, I still prefer Seville.

I do respect them a whole lot more because of it, but on-field, I still hate them.

Madrid haven't overly-dominated or anything.

The season is beginning to crash and burn already.
Zaragoza 2-0 Sevilla (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Levante 1-4 Barcelona Henry has arrived. Hat-trick for him, the other for Messi. |

Barcelona are doing better without R20's flashy tricks... pivotal football has always been the way to go! Now go sleep with your golden ball, Mr. Buck Teeth!

Another howler, another Milan owned GK.
I dont think Abbiati will be called back from loan after today's mistake. Although he made some good saves, the mistake was unforgivable. |
