That was an unsporting move by Giggs

Gilardino looses his balance and its a dive, when a british player does that "technical brilliance"

exactly the reason why i dislike the english teams, but to be fair, not too many english playing for the top four of england

Predictions for tomorrow:

Roma 0-1 Lyon
Barcelona 0-0 Liverpool
Porto 1-1 Chelsea
Internazionale 2-1 Valencia

''? Gila certainly didnt loose balance...

And it is technically allowed....

When can a free-kick be taken quickly?

Graham Poll
Premiership referee

First you have to deal with the principle of a free-kick.
If the attacking team are fouled then it is they who hold the advantage.
With a free-kick around the penalty area, we always ask the players whether they want it quick or slow.
This is their window of opportunity to surprise the defence.
If they want it quick, then they have given up the right to re-take it, no matter if it hits a defender who's three yards away.

The same goes if they kick it over the bar. They only get one chance.

The flip side is if they want it slow, they can't then take it while I count out the ten yards for the wall.

They must wait for my whistle.

There is nothing in the laws of the game that say we have to indicate for the free-kick to be taken.

It's just like when someone wants to take a free-kick anywhere else on the field.

As long as the ball is stationary and in the right place then the attacking team can take it as quickly as they like.

Giggs' goal was totally legal but it was shameless and disgusting. It's no surprise it's never been done before in the CL! If that's a red devil then what's a red pu$$7!?? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Predictions on who will go through: United, Arsenal, Bayern.

As for tomorrow;

Barcelona vs Liverpool 2-0
Roma vs Lione 0-1
Porto vs Chelsea 1-3
Inter vs Valencia 1-1

It's the famous English fair-play. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Goin' through: Scum, Arsenal and Madrid (they usually play better away then in Bernabeu and Diarra/Ramos both will probably be back for that match).

Oh and of course Lille coach's decision to ask his players to come out of the field was ludicrously puerile! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) This is the CL not some ad lib backyard contest, kicking the ball would have been enough!
