Just thought about his. remember last season's game against Barca and the one before that against PSV, Van Bommel has it in for us and he plays like a possesed man.

So this is definately good news

Was thinking about it too.

He took his revenge for eliminating his team (PSV Eid) last season and now it's our time again!

Ahh, thx for giving me the word han
Besides the fact that this a stupid decision Bayern will be much weaker without Van Bommel. He was bought to fill the gap Ballack left, of course he couldn't do that, but he definetely became the leader of Bayern midfield, if not of the entire team. He plays in a more offensive postion than he did with Barca, and is always there to score.
So it's a stupid decision IMO by the UEFA, but a very good one for us.
And yes, till now he'll miss both ties, but I'm sure Bayern will try do convince the UEFA to let him play in the 2nd leg.

How come this is a stupid decision?? I think it's fair cause his gesture was utterly inappropriate although I think he should have already served his exclusion in the 2nd leg game against Real. Of course it's better for us that he didn't but it would have been the right thing!

The punishment after his gestures was on probation. How can two yellow cards be as bad as such useless gestures?

It's not like a yellow card is really that bad. It's given on dangerous play mostly... well Van Bommel's gesture can harm more than a bad tackle IMO! Millions of people have watched the highlight again and again! It does NOT belong in football while a yellow card is on schedule!

That's exactly what I think. But Van Bommel should have been banned after his gestures in the first place. But the UEFA decided not to. And now, after this two yellows in the 2nd leg aganist Real they decided to ban him for 2 matches? Seems to me that the UEFA doesn't really know what they want...

It's your friend Platini who runs the place now...

90th min, Sevilla were getting kicked out 4 - 3 on agr. keeper Palop comes out and scores to take the game to extra time!!!

In the end, Sevilla managed to win 3-1 thanks to a Chevanton goal but more importantly Benfica won PSG 3-1!!

"Threw them Frenchies out", right Portugal?

OT: This is the CL thread... but it's more like the UEFA competitions one.

1/2 finals:

AZ v Bremen X Espanyol v Benfica
Leverkusen v Osasuna X Sevilla v Tottenham

Then we'll have the final in Glasgow.

Sevilla vs Benfica final...please God.

Nah...Bremen vs Sevilla would be much more interresting

Benfica is the most illustrious name left in this year's UEFA Cup [much more than Bremen]. They deserve the final.

But... Espanyol is not an easy task. AZ too.

ahh yes...alkmaar, they're the sevilla of the dutch league no? Any prospects in that side?

I agree about Benficas name. A final between Bremen and Benfica would also be interesting. Leverkusen is not good enough to make it that far. Btw, I haven't watched Benfica since their last CL Match. How are they doing? And is Rui back again?

Bremen will reach the final ... They have too, they have one hell of a team

Yep, we should really go after Diego instead of R10 in the summer if we are really serious about getting another trequartista

Yap, their team is even better than the one they had in 2004 when they won the Bundesliga. With their great youngsters like Diego, Hunt and Mertesacker. Then they've go some players in the best football age like Borowski and Klose. Almeida also seems to fit into the team, not to mention that GK Tim Wiese improved a lot since he joined the team.

Just don't spell the word defense when you're close to them, they might think you're using some unknown foul language against them!

I dont like German football too much, but whenever Bremen play .. I am at awe at what the team does on the field

It is like Winning Eleven, their passing and crosses are as accurate as can be. The used to lack defensively, last season, but this season are on top of their game

This is sad.

Of course nothing will happen cause it's UEFA policy to cover drug-related issues up and in this case I'm glad they do so cause I want us to face them with all their players not go through because of something like this.

Nothing on the Bayern Munich site that says so .. They just got fined .. So we will see them on the 3rd of April

"the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body will give its verdict on March 22."

What are you high on tonight?

sticky icky icky

Only 'cause I luuuuuuv you!

No it's mine !!!

My precious .. She wants the precious, but we dont give her the precious

Greece or Kwuait? i think there'll be problem about where they'll have the ceromony!!

Benfica info » Call dst or Tennie.
... (Benfica crew @MF)

Seriously, I think they're playing +/-. 2nd in the league 4 points behind Porto... and Porto play in Luz (SL Benfica stadium) in 2-3 weeks. (Rui was injuried but now is back on traning... give him 2 weeks)

But yes, they've team to be in Glasgow in May.

Yo R7, you and dst shack up and all, do I get Lima? Not like dst's gonna want to share and all.

What's her phone number I again?

Friday, 16 March 2007

UEFA has charged FC Bayern München goalkeeper Oliver Kahn and defender Lucio for improper conduct at the post-match doping control after their team's UEFA Champions League first knockout round second-leg encounter against Real Madrid CF in Munich last week.

22 March hearing
The two players were found to have breached basic rules of good conduct, and the case will be dealt with by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body next Thursday, 22 March. Bayern won the match 2-1 to progress to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals on the away goals ruling in a 4-4 aggregate scoreline.

Interesting news.

Eintracht Frankfurt 1 - 0 Bayern Munich

Go frankfurt. Domo Arigato Takahara!!!!!

NOOOOOOOO! Kahn has to play, how else will inzaghi score If they put the joke in then we have a good chance, and if inzaghi has red arrow. Meaning that he feels good and not in the sexual way

Morientes to miss Chelsea ties

Valencia CF striker Fernando Morientes is expected to sit out both legs of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Chelsea FC after dislocating his shoulder while playing for Spain on Wednesday night.

Four-week lay-off
According to Spain's medical staff, Morientes faces up to four weeks on the sidelines after falling awkwardly just before half-time during the 1-0 UEFA EURO 2008â„¢ qualifying win against Iceland. The centre-forward, who turns 31 the day after the first leg at Stamford Bridge on 4 April, is also doubtful for the return six days later.

Shoulder blow
"Morientes's shoulder was dislocated and he will need to have it immobilised for 15 days so he will be missing for three to four weeks," said Spain team doctor Genaro Borrás. "It's not the first time Morientes has had problems with his shoulder so the area is unstable and he will need that time to recover." The news will come as a major blow to Valencia, for whom the experienced target man has scored 12 league goals and found the net five times in seven UEFA Champions League appearances this term.

PSV 0-3 Liverpool.

Liverpool show in Eindhoven, owning the home team with some good goals. The Merseyside Reds are the first club to get in the semi-finals.

Can't wait for chelsea to eliminate them in the semis

Liverpool seem to get it just right in Europe.

I hate to say it, but I think they may go all the way again.

Big possibility. I can't see Chelsea, playing the way they're playing and with some injuries, beating Liverpool.
Valencia... Benitez knows them very well.

And it's the only competition left for them. Just like 2 years ago. The 3rd or 4th place is the same for Liverpool/Arsenal.

Roma-United will be an interesting match tonight.

I think I'd rather play Roma if we were to get through to the next round. We know them better, plus I'd rather stay away from Cristiano

I would put my money on Chelsea. This year it's more important for them to win the CL (even than the EPL) and they will be extra motivated (Mourinho too).
