QUOTE (Astafjevs @ Dec 10 2008, 02:34 AM)  Doesn't appear to be much of an advantage finishing 1st, other than playing the second leg at home (a debatable advantage too). That's one hell of an advantage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

QUOTE (MizNelson @ Dec 10 2008, 05:31 AM) I'll admit that aside from Juninho, I couldn't name another player on the Lyon team. I think they have to be among the most anonymous of Europe's more elite squads. I'm sure you know Karim Benzema. Maybe you've hear of Mathieu Bodmer before as well. The former OSC Lille captain who played against us in 2006/2007 CL season. As for that whole "Should I support the clubs from my country" story I may only say, that I don't support Bayern either. I can dislike them much better than teams other countries. |

QUOTE (Astafjevs @ Dec 10 2008, 02:42 AM) Surprising. Any reasons as to why you guys wouldn't want them to do well in the CL? I thought it was because I'm Italian, and want Italian clubs to be successful in Europe as they're representing us. Unless any of you guys are from Italy too. Inter is italian? Well, I'd say in a technicall manner. But I don't see anything italian in them. As Tennie said, I'm just right with her on this one. I don't have a problem holding the side of any italian team, Roma, Fiorentina, Napoli, even Juve. But there is a line and Inter surpasses that line. All the reasons mentioned by Tennie make them cross my line. Lyon? Well, Cris and Govou are pretty much famous. This post has been edited by Fillipo Simone: Dec 10 2008, 10:33 AM |

I thought it was because I'm Italian, and want Italian clubs to be successful in Europe as they're representing us. Unless any of you guys are from Italy too. They'd be the team I'd most hate to see win it if it was not for Liverpool. They are the two things I hate, arrogant and disrespectful! And most of all I don't want Mourinho to win it! To rephrase Kurt: QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Dec 10 2008, 01:08 AM) I like alot of Inter players, so I wouldn't mind them winning it. Especially with Jose as manager. I don't really like any Inter players so I don't want them winning it. Especially with Jose as a manager. --- By the way, I think the reason Inter have been doing bad in Europe this season and the previous ones is because they are not feared. In Italy, most teams enter the field with fear and they let Inter impose their game... and you can never win with that attitude! PS Another class goal by Ibra! Sweet shot!! PS2 Cluj's goal was great! Did you notice, all three goals in that game, were scored by Ivorians. This post has been edited by dst: Dec 10 2008, 01:05 PM |

I had the same exact sentence typed, down to the last word and fullstops. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) The only difference being I spelled inter as 'inter'. Coincidence? No. |

FYI, the Gobbi are resting both Chiellini and Del Piero (or at least those two are starting on the bench) in their CL game. So is Marchisio -- is he considered a regular starter these days or is he only starting some games because of their injury crisis?
However, Grygera, Molinaro, Manninger, Nedved and Amauri ARE starting this one (and I'd expect to see them starting Sunday). |

Poulsen and Sissoko were the preferred players, but Marchisio has really imposed in himself in recent weeks |

Madrid 3-0 Zenit. Raul opened, Robben scored a great chip over the keper, Raul gets his 2nd.

Yay for the Viola! (Habitant, you probably would have been amused at me teaching the group of dignified 60 year old ladies sitting next to me at the Franchi the translation of "Udine Udine Vaffanculo". Gotta like the team for that if nothing else. I couldn't stop laughing when they started chanting the English version.)
