I think some people are over-estimating Roma. If they get within 2 goals of United over the 2 legs, I'll be surprised.

Here we Goa: Champions League draw mystery deepens


A MYSTERIOUS informant in India was behind the tip that led to the Champions League draw prediction on the ECHO website.
All four ties were correctly identified on a Liverpool FC forum 90 minutes before the draw in Switzerland. The man behind the prediction today revealed it came in a tip-off from Goa.Identified on the website as “Confused”, the internet user asked to remain anonymous, but said he had been told the draw by two different contacts.He said one of them received a “one-off” call from Goa on Tuesday.

The forum poster was so convinced he decided to place a £200 stake on the draw – but couldn’t find a bookmaker to take his money. He said: “A friend received the call from abroad but was struggling to find someone who would take his money.
“No-one would take my money either.” Several bookmakers said it was usual practice not to open a book on cup draws.But William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe insisted the company would have offered 7-1 as the odds on one particular team drawing another.He said: “Football fans are very interested in the outcome of a draw, but they are generally not interested in putting money on it. We were taking bets but there weren’t many made.

“It is hardly surprising someone had guessed a draw with limited options.
“There is nothing untoward going on. What would be the point? There would have to be so many people involved.”
The man’s post sparked a huge demand to log onto the ECHO website.
Former Russia goalkeeper Rinat Dasaev made the draw, which was televised live from Nyon, standing beside Uefa general secretary David Taylor.
Uefa spokesman William Gaillard said the draw was 150% honest and claimed the ECHO forum user “must have supernatural powers”.

yep

I'm hiding from La Palma while I do this (because of local rivalry) but...FORZA SCHALKE! 

That's why he's so great. I'm not sure you can call him just a winger, or a striker or anything. He has the attributes to play anywhere in attack.

Best player in the world by a country mile.

it's funny tho everyone is on ronaldo cuz he doesnt play as a winger apparrently. watch his header and see how he comes late and how there was over 4 man u players in the box and he wasnt sitting there as some claim or watch his amazing playmaking skills against aston villa on the weekend

I think Roma could try and make their 'kick Ronaldo off the park' tactics a little less obvious..

They are stupid! They had stopped him easily but then they fell asleep / CR made them think he's out of the game and now they are frustrated and are not playing fairly... they should have not left him any space in the first place but now that they made this mistake they should go on as before not with kicks...
