'Pool 3 - 0 Newcastle
i kinda felt sorry for them, it should have been 6. Alonso and Gerrard hit the underside of the bar 3 times between them, the keeper nearly scored 3 OGs.

But who's the best right back ever?
whitey:yea i hear you, thats how i did my alltime list. it was those players at the height of their careers.
cafu i dont think can be fucked with. i put zanetti just because of what a machine he is. zambrotta would also be a legitimate pick in my opinion.
but these are also guys of the last 20 years, there prob is other really good ones i never saw play
bonerfarm: lol Zambrotta? Zambrotta has nothing on Thuram, Cafú, Panucci in their day.
whitey: zambrotta>panucci all day every day. not a question.
as sza said thuram wasnt a threat out of the back. it depends on what system you want to play. steadfast back line or one with wing backs.
bonerfarm:So what? Thuram was still the better player.
whitey:debatable.
bonerfarm: Debatable? Not for shit.
whitey: dont let the german/australian dissapointment of 06 blind your ability to see that is not as clear cut as you make it out to be.
not debatable for shit is ronaldo or robbie fowler.
debatable is zambrotta or thuram. ill pose it in the football thread and well see its debatablitiy based on the answers.
lol zambrotta was far superior to fucking Panucci.
people forget in the 2003/4 sort of era, Zambrotta was clearly considered the best full back in the world.
idk why BONERfarm decided to randomly start comparing Zambrotta to a bunch of RB's, when everyone knows him for being the right footed LB under Lippi at Juve.
If your gonna compare him to anyone frmo that time, it would be Carlos. And Carlos would have him beatdown.
i dont find it to hard to compare left backs and right backs. essentially its the same position.
comparing center backs with a left or right back is a big difference.
just like a right winger or left winger is comparable to me. but a center striker or a winger is not. just like an attacking mid is not comparable to a holding or defensive mid.
thats where the problem lies with the zambrotta v. thuram debate. i see thuram as more of a center back. outside backs are meant to get forward in the attack. he didnt really do that. so then to pick the better player even though position wise they arent comparable it really comes down to who was better at their position, and in that sense it is debatable.
Man Utd are good no denying it. i can see them winning the champs league this season. unless Barca goes absolute crazy there isnt really anything stopping united.
we were on a different level to arsenal and thats that.
we were just too strong, Arsenal couldnt play. THey just couldnt get in the game. at all. I dont remember Cesc playing in either games. Adebayor was awful too. Arse's best players in the 2 legs were Gibbs and Nasri and probably bendtner LOL. Obviosuly Almunia was your best player though.
I was surprised Deinlson was dropped for both games, I was also surprised that you seemed to miss him.
Anyway the whole Fletcher thing has ruined it all anyway. He wouldve been just the player important against Chelsea or Barca. He is a big miss. Ridiculous decision, but also it has to be overturned.
They overturn red cards in EPL all the fucking time for incorrect calls. Terry and Freidel alone this season have both had red cards recindid because the ref said he made a mistake.
^they said theres no chance of it being overturned.
i think its a bit of a different game if arsenal have gallas and arshavin. not saying they win at all, but its a different game for sure.
hahaha that barca fags cant win CHELSEA
GO CHELSEA
GOOO
LMAO!!! BARCA!!!!!!!!!!!
thats what Chelsea get for playing negative defensive football at home.
They gonna be moaning about the penalty but the red card was a joke, so shame.
definately, the red card was totally idiotic. I don't wanna see this faggot to be a referee in the CL anymore tho.
I'm gonna cheer for Barca in the finals, since I totally hate CRs guts.
fucking hell.
so pleased, i screamed louder than i did for my own team last night. fucking hate chelsea.
ABIDAL DID NOT FUCKING TOUCH ANELKA.
he didnt even touch him. now he will miss the final of the champions league.
its a joke. like Fletcher. fucking insane.
that was some tits.
i was in the breakroom at work watching it going nutts when they scored.
I was supporting Barca, but......
that was the worst refereeing performance ive ever seen. Platini and his boys put in a weak official and pressured him to not favour Chelsea.
probably had his family tied up too.
Don Platini you faggit!!
^he did red card a barca player.
also yellow carded alves.
although those penal claims marred his performance. i liked his approach, he wasnt going to settle the game like that. chelsea should have came out and played instead of playing antifootball, at home no less.
that's the best i heard all day...Quote:

^word. really was. a fantastic strike. that hobbit tommy smyth hit the nail on the head with his comments a bit after it during the game. he said you give him 100 chances at that shot and he misses 99. and the one that gets by is the one he just hit.
todays game is what i really really love about football my dudes. that ending, the feeling of supreme joy on one side and the agonizing pain on the other. a moment of brilliance decides entry into the biggest club game in football. its what every player plays the game for. that moment. iniesta is a god for a night.
(no homo, been munching pills tonight *D)
Looks like the football gods are giving it back to Guus after the 2002 world cup.
First, Australia cheated out of the WC against Italy now Guus gets denied a thousand penalties. Still, Henry was pulled to the ground last week.
Barça Barça Baaaaaaaaaaarça
Good to see the two best teams in Europe both make it to the European Cup Final tbh.

The player’s [COLOR=#0464D1 ! important][COLOR=#0464D1 ! important]father[/COLOR][/COLOR] and agent, Djair da Cunha, is clearly over the moon.
“Is it a done [COLOR=#0464D1 ! important][COLOR=#0464D1 ! important]deal[/COLOR][/COLOR]? Yes, you can say so,” he enthused in an interview with the Corriere dello Sport.
“Better yet, you can say that it’s a 100 per cent done deal between Juve and Diego. Now Werder and Juve…”
It has been suggested that the clubs reached an agreement on Wednesday night, when Juventus directors met with their counterparts in Bremen.
“It’s not up to me to say it, the clubs have to speak,” muttered Djair. “Let’s just say that I am waiting on an official announcement from Werder.
this is big for juve if its true. they have been missing that attacking play maker lately.
Diego is a fine player. IVe been watchign him ever since he was at Santos with Robinho, they were incredible back then together. Juve need a new striker though.
finally chelsea get a taste of their own medicine, after going thru in Euro ties unfairly in recent years.
like the pen they got against Liverpool, or the John Terry goal vs Barca when Carvalho was holding down Valdes.
Only 1 of their claims was a pen. THe pique one. THe other ones are all debatable, the first one was obstruction, which isnt a penalty anyway, its an indirect free kick.
And they got VERY lucky again with Abidal getting sent off, nobody touched Anelka, he dived simple as that, he tripped himself up, hes scum.
They are all scum. They think the world owes them something, even though they spent 90% of both legs putting 10 men inside theyre own penalty box.
chelsea sucks!!
does not deserve to win that game so defensive, niggas only can play with big and strong and that is not football friends, who has won the past and barcelona will beat the shit of Manchester in the final
nahh im saying man utd will win.
ronaldo on form is like mayweather vs gatti.
i reckon 1-1..and man utd win on penalties
diego milito from genoa to inter milan. aquafresca doing the opposite way.
'Bou to sit down and watch 'Pool "walk on.... with hopes in their hearts"
They'll NEEEEEEEEEVER....
...WAAAAAAAAAAAALK.................... Alone.
5 points separate 6 teams in the Bundesliga race and Hamburg have their game tomorrow, so 3 points could separate 5 teams.
Thank you Stuttgart for smashing Wolfsburg :D
'Pool 2-0 up at half time, with a couple gift goals from westham... carragher tried to repay the favor just before half time when he missed the ball lol.... di michele got power wobbles when he got close to goal and bailed hahahah... was hilarious, he got carded for diving lol
madrid needs win vs valencia today or brca will the league
go madrid
That was a bad day, 9th now, kissin europe goodbye, hope Livpool will win the league to give a meaning to our glorious sacrifice...
^well, if we dont win, West Ham(0-0 earlier in season) will be one of the few teams to cause that... along with 'Spurs and 'Boro.
all the 0-0 draws we've had has killed us. its all Torres' fault for having such a pussy hamstring.
The Bundesliga is probably the most entertaining league to watch. Its been a long time since i seen a German team run away with the championship.Quote:

Yeah, it is very competitive and usualy has a thrilling finish. Last year was total dominance for Bayern, but a few years ago it produced the craziest finish to a league season. 94th minute indirect free kick for Bayern to win the game after Schalke had finished their game 2 minutes earlier and lead the championship only for Patrik Andersson to score from the free kick :lmao: Schalke forever known as the two minute champions.
What happened to that Turkish team that was leading the comp on some Hoffenheim shit? Petkovic is their goalkeeper. Actually, I am kind of surprised to see how many Australians play in that league with a couple of them at Genclerbirligi.
Speaking of Turkey, Bayern are a much better team with Hamit Altintop playing. I hope this kid stays injury free for a long time.
sadly i think i must concede milans hopes for the scudetto have all but been extincted.
still looks like a close finishing second place is what will come of the season.
not bad when you take a look at the injury list. nesta; one of the top 5 center backs in the world didnt play a game all year, gattuso missed most of the year, boriello missed almost the whole year, abbiti is missing the last quarter of the year, kaldaze has missed 2/3s the year. kaka and ronaldinho also missed big portions of the season.
but i think if we bring in a quality back, along with the already bought tiago silva. plus nesta coming back (hopefully) and bringing groucuff and becks back when hes done with mls. maybe a goalie, but abbiati is pretty decent. i think we should be ok and back to contending for the CL title.
some nice goals in the inter v. chievo game today...

basically.
but thats a bit effed they rely on one guy so much. granted he is a massive talent but if say c.ron was out for the year i still think man u win it.
nah i doubt it lol. we dont "rely" on one guy so much, without him for that time period we still managed to be the closest title contenders, that says something.
next year is going to be intense in the title race.
i think it would be tougher but theyd still have rooney, berba, tevez, macheda, to pick up slack.
with torres out, and then when they sold keane, they really lacked a goal threat up top. the games steve g was out also hurt them though. hes indespensible to the pool.
next year should be good in a couple leauges. i bet madrid spends big this summer. milans gonna reup and with the possible exit of ibra and the entrance of deigo to juve the seria a should be nice. england is bound to have a new champ. germany is always tight.
but sheaaat still looking forward to the CL final for this year.
