Real Madrid - CSKA Tomorrow

[jinjifliaktor]

Watch Inter winning tonight.

Basel vs. Bayern will be interesting, I hope Basel gets through and manages to defend the victory from last match.

Inter and Marseille..what can I say..thoose clubs are same as their both season havent been the best. Expecting to Inter win as I think Marseille doesnt have anything to do in next round.

I said many times and I'll say it again: Bayern plays the most beautiful football this year in Champions Leauge.

All respect toward Barcelona, Bayern plays the same style (4-3-3 tactics with ball possesion and mostly pas play on ground), but they got something Barcelona doesn't, and that's man play, they do not go down on every light tackle someone does to them, their dignity doesnt allow them  to do it (That's mostly cause of the German and English mentality and approach in football that I love so much), they play it hard, with big physical condition and stamina in football, without which you can't pass as  a footballer in England and Germany, but then again they play the same 'sexy style' of football, like Ajax, Arsenal, Barcelona, Boca etc.

They've combined two tottally different styles of football(stamina, phisics, persistence, toughness  team play on one side , and tehnics, ground pas playing, typical South American style on other side) into one and they're pionirs in it together with Arsenal who is known by it, but can't keep the players together in building a stable team like Bayern did.

Also once again its proven, that the best way of creating a team, is by creating it from your own youth school of the club, the rule that some clubs just cant get into their heads (Real Madrid, Chelsea, Inter, Man City), unlike others who not only create a fantastic team but a beautiful sexy style of playing, that we all applause. ( Ayax, Barcelona, Bayern, Man Utd etc).

Man Utd  biggest domination period is last 20 years (except  for Busbies kids, and Bobby Charlton generation), that was based by the generation made at their youth school back then ( Beckham, Giggs, Neville brothers, Paul Scholes, Roy Kean, Nicky Butt, Wes Brown, etc), and that's the only key approach for a long future plan.

Chelsea - Napoli   2????? Y'ALL TELL ME WHAT DO YOU THINK, i'm tired of losing my $...

I don't know to be honest. I don't see Chelsea making a comeback based upon their current form, but I think it will be an interesting game. I'm certainly looking forward to it.

Apparently Podolski has had a medical at Arsenal - he's all set to come to us in the summer!

[Thomas_A]

Pretty hard for Chelsea to come back from such score. Despite they are at Stamford, Im still more than sure that Napoli will go their best and take at least a draw, so Im predicting 2-2.

Heard that Arsenal possibly offers 12.9m pounds for him.

About yesterday's games, Im suprised Basel was playing their worst game in their Champions League this season. Bayern going well, they have scored 14 goals in their last 2 games. Gomez definetly is a guy who's going to scare Ronaldo, Messi and other so called stars at Player of Year and such competitions.
Inter and Marseille game result came as a suprise to me, they did good but I still have some doubts about them and Im pretty sure they will be eliminated from cup in next round.

I thought he said that in the end he wont come? I'm confused.

I realy hope Napoli will win the game today, they are just playing better than Chelsea recently, + I just love lavezzi Chelsea is playing absolutely crap, the only guy who's accutally doing something is Mata ( until the last game ). I must said they played good their last game and won 1-0 in the leauge. They had so many chances and alot of them went into the post.. it was just unfortunate.
