well football here is so boring that people don't even bother!!!! and after all ... for the team that won the 2004 European Championship this is more than shameful!!!

Hey! I've seen the german team during the EURO 2004, and it was defintely much worse what they did than what the greece team did (and their great coach)...

no I mean our team did their best and won it ... and still people here place personal benefit above all, sacrificing this f@cking disgrace of a league!!! It is really sad ... a bunch of people ...

People here are mostly obsessed with foreign leagues and clubs, generally English and Italian teams and some German fans who like Bayern

Very few people actually care about what's happening in the domestic league here, I'm one of those that doesn't care.

During the world cup we where actually on Italian news for all the celebrating we did over here after the win.

The Milan club Malta has well over 5000 members in it, and that's not even the majority of the Milan supporters, who are not members, and Malta is a really small island, so that ammount of members for just one club is really huge

There are also a lot of Merda and Gobbi fans, not to mention the ones that support the English teams.

Come on...Germany won half a dozen titles playing defensive football...I'm not ashamed that we won the EURO 1996, neither am I because we made it to the WC final in 2002...

what are you talking about??? are you on beers again???

No...I'm not "on beer" and not "again" Honestly, the football Germany played in the WC 2002 sucked, and everyone here knows that. If it wasn't for Ballack even the US could have stopped us...
And in 1996 we were also lucky to have such a great defense, but the football we played at that time was really good.
Besides I always say Germany played great football in the WC 1990 (great great Klinsman), but after that it wasn't the same...until last WC.

Here in Portugal, everybody loves the English League (people in general)... god, every Saturday and Sunday everybody goes to cafes to scream out loud some Chelsea goals... it's like 50% fans like Chelsea (Mourinho... etc), 20% ManUtd, 20% Liverpool, 10% Arsenal. That'll be it.

Then, there are some 'ultra' guys, people who go to Curva Nord/Sud to support, etc of each clubs. That guys love the italian clubs, obviously. There was a stat in some other forum saying that Inter/Fiorentina are the Sporting's Lisbon fans choice. Lazio usually FCPorto's, and Benfica's fans go for Roma/Milan. Don't know why or if it's true.

The spanish soccer... it's more a Barça/Real fight. Some people like Real, other Barça... but no big talks about them. At the moment, the English Soccer is rocking in Portugal.

@LaPalma: And what does aaaaaaaaaaaallllllll that have to do with the f@cking greek football league !!???? you sure you stayed clear off beer the past couple of hours??

Haven't had a drink in days...I was just posting under the missconception we were still talking about the lame football the greek national team played in 2004... You guys better ignore me

it was not lame; it was defensive ... after all this is all those footballers are able to play and they did it ... if we played attackingly we wouldn't have stood a chance.

Ofcourse the way the hellenic national basketball team wins is far more beautiful and desirable but at the end of the day I'm not going to abnegate that trophy because noone was smart enough to beat us in our silly little game!!!!

I guess you defended my team in the first place though

Mediaset will show all the CL matches on their cable console MEDIASET PREMIUM. So I guess RAI will show 1-2 matches per week, like Italia 1 or Canale 5 used to do the past years.

Just like over here, we're divided in 3, 45% Italian club fan (Milan, Inter, Juve fans and a few Roma and Lazio) 45% English club fans (Man. U, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea), and the other 10% support either Barca, Real or Bayern. (And the ones that support Barca are only in it for the Ronaldinho factor)



Yeah I saw the commercials for mediaset Premium, but they always used to show them on both, maybe Rai beat them to the TV rights? Or Berlu is getting a bit cheap this year.

And Rai are only going to show 1 game this week, thank god it's the Milan match, at least mediaset used to broadcast 2. I hope that it's just this week that they chose only 1, or I really might have to get the sports package on cable

Well, here it's like 95% of the people support german clubs. In Northrein-Westfalia were I live the vast majority supports Schalke and Dortmund. In the entire country Bayern (sadly) has the most fans followed by Schalke, Dortmund and Hamburg.
The people that support a foreign club most of the time are damn Barca fans (the Ronnie factor...)

Let's see what these 'Barca fans' do when Silvio manages to bring Ronnie over to Milan.

Inter completely owned by Sporting Lisbon.

What a goal by Caneira (LB). Patrick Vieira red carded.

76min 1-0

and i'm loving it, what a stunner be Caneira

and btw good on roma, 3 - 0.

I told you... Sporting is a good team. Never underestimate a portuguese team. Specially at home.

FT 1-0! Great Inter!

Roma 4-0... wow.

Barça 5-0. Great goal by R10.

YESSS Inter lost, definately a good day.

Chelsea won but the ES didn't do anythin, he only had 1 shot in the whole game and that was from a free-kick which he shot straight at the keeper. What the heel happened to him??

Very happy for Roma.

And Barca scoring that much goals was totally expected

Ahh Inter ... Since 1908 the real comedy of Milan

Shevchenko ... Pahhhhhh hahahaha , i'mso enjoying watching him failing to score

Shevchenko looked ridiculous today...

Am I the only one here that wants him to do well?

can Milan do the same?

Probably

But you're still a cool guy

no doubt about that, he was just a spectator in that match ... Chelsea were sloppy and didn't play particularly well ...

Too early to give a statment on sheva's game.....But i agree Chelsea have been playing dull football of late..wit drogba gettin so many goals.

Hhaaah Inter were reiduculed!!! Whilst No viera they could'nt pass the ball to any of the attackers, and Ibrahimovic is jus another rooney- less in fact, but soon will get there...

We can against crappy team like Levsky. They were really weak

What a goal by Totti...

Great performance by the roman side.

Anyone saw the goal against Inter ?? It was sooooooo funny when Toldo wanted to get the ball out while it allready hit the net

Barca-Levski:
Ronaldinho: What a useful monkey he is...
Eto'o: The best forward in the world at the moment.
Iniesta: What a talent!
Levski: What a joke!

Sporting-Inter:
Viera: What a tragedy...
Toldo:
Mancini: The weakest coach with one of the best squads.
Sporting's goal: The best goal of the first weak and one of the most beautiful CL goals ever.

Bayern-Spartak:
What a game! Go Santa Cruz!

Roma-Shaktar:
Totti! De Rossi! I always liked Roma!

Olympiacos-Valencia:
Morientes!!!!! Poor Liverpool...

It was a great goal. It's so enjoyable to see Inter lose

I watched mostly Sporting Lisbon - Inter and I've got to admit Sporting impressed me a lot. Their game was very fast and their passes very precise. Inter played well, but they never had any clear occasion for goal. Let's see what they're going to do against Sampdoria. Oh, and Caneira's goal was just spectacular.

man, I'm really glad that Roma win that game ... as for Inter, they really let Italy down, I hope Milan can show the world that we are still strong despite fairly inactive tranfer market and can go far in this competition

deadly walk in the park that was ... I'm so glad I was wrong!!! ... and surprised


hearing that now makes me extremely happy ... but so was your/mine beloved Ibra ...


as of late means ... since Mourinho took over!!!

a) On the last min, he almost scored. But yes, all the Inter squad were destroyed yesterday.

Since Mourinho took over, Chelsea won titles. That's what's important - the results. I wouldn't mind playing that bad and winning Serie A this season.

Ofcourse they did ... I just commented on their "style" of play not Jose's coaching abilities ... Oh and ... I would mind!!!

Dynamo Kyiv 1-4 Steaua
Lyon 2-0 Real Madrid
Man. United 3-2 Celtic
København 0-0 Benfica
Porto 0-0 CSKA Moskva
Hamburg 1-2 Arsenal
Anderlecht 1-1 Lille

What a goal by Rosicky! Oh, and Real is a joke. What was Calderon saying? - "Kakà should play and win for a team like Real Madrid". Yeah, right.

Outstanding goal by Rosicky.

We're laughing at Real... but Lyon is really strong, and almost kicked us out of Europe last year. They're one of the favourites to lift the trophy in May IMO.

Well, we played there last season, and draw 0-0. Not to mention we had 2-3 clear chances to score. On my local TV they said Real played terribly. Oh, and Cannavaro on Tiago's goal was pathetic.

you said that Real would win at Lyon ...

I didn't expect Raul and Cassano still on the first 11.

Now, Lyon is a very good squad. Tiago and Juninho... what a class. Pure class on that midfielder.

Porto 0-0. Benfica 0-0... 2 sh1tty games...

They are getting stronger each year. Really impressive performance by Lyon. Real was pathetic. If not Casillas it could have been 4-5 at least.

Not to mention they've lost Essien and Diarra in the last two seasons.

And got 38+24 M for that... that means more than 60M euros... in 2 seasons selling players and keeping the team at the highest level.

Yea , but they are buying quality young players and they have really deep team. They are building empire over there

What the hell is everybody talking about? Lyon is NOT that good... Real is f@cking weak... And do you remember the 3-1 victory last year? Lyon is still far away from being a power house...

Nah, I think Lyon are strong enough to try and win the CL this year. And about our victory last season, you've got to admit they didn't let us play our game and we scored in the last 5 minutes, luckily. I honestly thought we were out, before Pippo put his leg in and we passed the turn.

I was going to write that...
