may i know why the seminfinals matchups have already been decided ?
arent they chosen by lottery or drawing ??

[Srbija]

Are you fucking retarded?

This aint the fucking group stages. We are passed all the lottery shit.

[shadowgrin]

Srbz, are you fucking retarded?
He was politely asking a question, why can't you answer politely too?

[L10]

Sorry but I am not european. You dont even answer my question, so if you are going to post that kind of shit, you better dont post. Thanks shadowgrin...can anybody answer me.

[JT_55]

He did answer your question. Wasn't very nice about it, but Srbz said that only the group stages are chosen by lottery, not the semifinals.

[GoHornets]

Are you fucking retarded?

Relax, take it easy

Well, it looks like the Champions League final is going to be Chelsea-Manchester Utd.

Chelsea didn't deserve to win against Liverpool tonight but they were able to convert their chances and score, and that's what matters after all. I still think the referee was wrong about the penalty call for Liverpool (when Drogba fouled Hyypia) but he did an overall good job, especially with the call on the goal by Essien.

Gerrard was completely off today. Maybe he was too worried about getting booked so he didn't play as well as he could.

The goal by Babel was by far the match's best, even though I admit I liked Essien's (even if it was annulled).

Well, guess I'll be rooting for Utd. since I hate with all my heart every single soul in Southern England.

Chelsea didn't deserve to win against Liverpool tonight

Why not? They played better for most of the match, IMO.

I still think the referee was wrong about the penalty call for Liverpool (when Drogba fouled Hyypia)

That could have gone either way man. He got kicked twice, If Hyppia takes a dive on the first one it's clearly a penalty, but he was kinda expecting the second and exaggerated contact way too much so it seemed more like a Spurs' player.


I'll root for Chelsea, because I hate ManU.

[shadowgrin]

Well fuck you then Drex. I hate Chelsea.

I was rooting for Arsenal and ManU. I would have even been happy if any other wins it all as long as it's not Chelsea.

[SVG18]

An all English finals; boy does that suck

2 teams I don't like but I will be going for Chelsea because I hate them a tad less than I hate Man U

[Joe']

How does that suck? The English Premier League is the best association football league in the world, not to mention the way English play soccer is faster, and overall superior to the way soccer is played in every other European country.

I would've been seriously disappointed, not to mention bored, if it was, for example, an all Italian or all Spanish final. I remember watching Bayern Munich - Valencia back in '01 and being bored to hell the whole time.

[Drex]

An all Italian final would have been like the Spurs-Pistons final a couple years ago. Very, very entertaining.

[Emiliano]

VAMOS BOCA CARAJO!!! Boca beat River 1-0, kinda late for me to say it but who cares, the party doesn't stop!! Vamos los bosteros!!!!

[GoHornets]

I don't want to get banned so I post in English
But, yeah, cool game, River was dominating at some point, but, suddenly in 10 minutes, Bergessio came and scored.
Too bad I like penalties though.

Aguante Boca

[L10]

I don't want to get banned so I post in English

Its ours first post in spanish, one in a thousand or in hundreds...
anyway sorry for not writing in english

(Y) Aguante Boca

Well 3 Boca fans against one River(me)

[Emiliano]

Jajaaj, re de hace una semana el partido! Vamos Boquita lo mismo! Medio aburrido el partido igual...

jajaja ya se, pero con el partido de river de ayer, me dio otra felicidad!!! Tenia que escribirle en algun lugar!!!

Ok, sorry to those that don't speak spanish, I'll stop haha.

Jeje, deberian haber hecho mas goles, oportunidades no le faltaron.

True. They outnumbered San Lorenzo by two players and they still managed to let it slip away... en el Monumental! Can life get any better?

[Drex]

Never liked River. Now that they have Alexis Sanchez made me follow them more, but I still don't like them and I'll always root for Boca. Ah si, 2 a 0 en el Monumental de Santiago That was awesome. It's a shame Borghi left and Colo Colo couldn't qualify to the next stage.

[Emiliano]

Drex, are you a Colo Colo fan? I can't imagine how good Colo Colo would have been if they still had Chupete Suaso. I really like how he plays. Borghi is a really good coach, but he had a bad first day because it turned out that his first practice day, German Denis gets injured, most likely out 2 weeks...Tough luck, but I think Independiente will really benefit from his up-tempo offensive style of play.

[shadowgrin]

You all retardo for hablo no ingles.

[Drex]

Astig, dude. Astig.

Drex, are you a Colo Colo fan?

Yup, as long as I can remember.

[L10]

Manchester United are the champions
They beat Chelsea by penalties !!!!! ManUtd really deserve to win
