I enjoyed that. Lost money. Its ok tho as ARSENAL CANT WIN IT.. TOTTENHAM WILL WIN IT BEFORE YOU DO. :fucku: HENRY WILL LEAVE.
but yeah i had ronaldinho and toure first goal.
i was going to back barca to come back on betfair.com when they were one down, they scored while i was hesitating though, fucked up the odds.
--------------------
Is shit at the same time. all spurs had to do was beat west ham to get that spot.
FFS! Arsenal should won this. :(

Not a great final but at the end of the day barca was the team that everyone enjoyed watching they play excellent football and deserved it.
Henry was a bit angry at the end of the game, i mean saying ronaldihno and eto'o didnt do anything is words of anger, ronnie showed moments of quick feet and clever passes eto'o for most of the game out paced eboue which isnt the easiest thing to do. barca played well and deserved it at the end of the day. I see this barca team winning more in the future.
well club football is over, world cup in a couple of weeks. man shame turkey aint in it, your team not being there does take a lot out. but its the world cup and theres always brazil or argentina to support.
^ yep couldnt agree more
Heh, looks like that linesman wasn't the only Norwegian official with just a Barcelona shirt in their wardrobe. Ah well, 10man Arsenal were the better team for a good 70minutes, still once you equalise in a final, you get that extra bit of belief and it's normally easier for that side to bang another in. One thiing keeps me wondering though. How the hell did Almunia manage to get beat on his near post twice? Deary me
Well, it's hard to comment the red card, since it is what's the foul deserve and at the same time it remove a goal to Barca .....
Anyway, it is a well deserved victory ...
henry said he didnt see ronaldinho and eto'o in the final,i saw henry though, miss 2 oppurtunities to score,i saw eto'o have a magnificat first touch and strike deflected to the post by almunia,he scored a goal,almost scored a goal when lehmann was sent off,and ronaldinho,not his best performance,but his presence was felt,henry didnt do too much,honestly,i was disappointed in andry gray commentary was so biased, you cannot take away what barcelona have achieved, 1-0 in a final with 15 minutes to go, not breaking a 10 man defence against a team who havent conceeded in what, 900odd minutes, that has to play on your mind like 'what have we to do to get a goal' and yes refereeing destroyed this game, i didnt see if eto'o was offside for the red card or for the first goal, but, lehmann fouled yes should of been sent off, but how is the ref not going to call advantage? so many times yellow cards were givin when players got the ball, henry comes to mind, i think oleguer but not sure, some one from barcrelona, i wonder about henry going to barcelona though, he made some razor blade comments, especially marquez and puyol, i think this might be a bit of 'unfinished business',i think if arsenal win, henry goes, but i dont think henry can fit in barcelona's style either, could eto' and henry work together? could ronaldinho and henry work together?i dont think barca need henry, theyve won back to back la liga titles, theyve won the champions league, beating very strong opponents on the way, they dont need henry, they have a fantastic quartet in eto'o, ronaldinho, deco and giuly,
as for fifa world rankings, they have lost the plot, please explain the USA being ranked 5th?i think this a generous hand push to bump the status of football in the USA, as it would be the ultimate market for fifa to crack, like it or not, mexico are a good team, they will surprise alot of people at the world cup. are they worthy of 4th place?im not sure, but def top 10 no doubt, USA should be nowhere near the 5th place,i also see the USA play alot of games in their own yard, meaning when european teams go there, they dont send full strength team because no clubs want their stars flying to USA for a nothing match to get hurt, they rather them rest up for league/european matches, i remember landon donovan was 'the next best thing' and scored millions of goals in MLS, he went to bayer leverkusen a few times and did nothing but whenever he goes back to MLS he scores millions of goals, he is very overated, somebody,what ranking is argentina if USA is ahead of them?? i am surprised, they have an extremely talented team i am surprised they are not inside top 5, but fifa rankings dont mean anything, i remember czech republic was ranked 2 in 1998 and didnt qualify for the cup--just my thoughts
teams that shit on america and mexico
brazil, italy, argentina, england, spain, france, czech rep, ireland, sweden, denmark, holland, greece
not even top 10
edit germany too
but why do concacaf have so many world cup spots, with teams like el salvador, trinidad & tobago, jamaica, nicaragua etc.. they are not good, i think only one should go through to the cup and a second team should play off africa/south america or asia
FIFA need to sort their lives out. The USA being in the top 10 is a joke. They have one or two good players at best (Adu not included, he's vastly over rated) and get routinely hammered by european opposition whenever they play them. Mexico are always a good team, and deserve to be up there. The whole ranking system is biased anyway, the same as with South American footballers getting world footballer of the year, every other year
do you remember when the euro player of the year awards nominees were announced and robinho was nominated? he'd been at real madrid for 5 minutes and was nominated, thats a bloody wank fest that is, robinho is another vastly overrated player, hes a very selfish player
I agree, Robinho shouldn't have been nominated. He's a good player though, Arsenal should've got him, he looks the perfect player for a side like that
he's a forward, just like ronaldo is. and i don't remember seeing Ronaldo giving lots of assists...Quote:
