I told you all he would flop in the CL.

I'm glad we sold him for the price we did because he wasn't worth that.

Gilardino will do well with Prandelli .. This is just his first competitive try with them ... Once he gets a feel on the movement of the team, he'll be a threat. I think he will score a lot, I wouldn't bet against that for sure.

Speaking of the devil

He finally scored... after how many misses?

Four, I think. Questions of offside on the goal too.

In any event, Viola 2 - 0 Slavia.

probably he learned a thing or two from Inzaghi

So what's that, 1 game 1 goal, or is this his 2nd game? Either way, congrats Gila!

Quick buy him back LOL

I'm happy to hear he scored. Like R7 said...he'll do well under Prandelli.

Hrm. I find myself in the uncomfortable position of almost cheering for the zebras. They play Artmedia tomorrow (Wednesday) at the Communale.

Here's their call up list:
1 Buffon 12 Chimenti

3 Chiellini 4 Mellberg (zd, do you have a Viking smiley?) 5 Zebina 21 Grygera 28 Molinaro 33 Legrottaglie

7 Salihamidzic 16 Camoranesi 18 Poulsen 22 Sissoko 27 Ekdal 30 Tiago

8 Amauri 9 Iaquinta 10 Del Piero 17 Trezeguet

And 3 of the Zebras:
34 Pasquato
35 Esposito
41 Ariaudo

I would like to see Juve do well. They have a few players who I highly respect (Buffon, nedved, Trezeguet & Del Piero) and a few of my personal favourites (Mellberg, Tiago, Poulsen & Iaquinta). So go Juve!


That would be awesome!

Viking smiley...? like this?

Or you want one with beard? ()

Oh, there's also one for Sweden:

Oh, that third one is awesome. Thanks, zd!

I'll support Juve in CL -just this year!-
Go Bianconeri!

NEVA!

A cookie to misha, who is probably rather pleased right now. Dinamo Kiev just trounced Spartak Moscow at the Luzhniki by a score of 4-1.

You said what.....

*head explodes*

BTW, the Spartak result is shocking. Pavlyuchenko plays for Spartak... what happened?

To beat our most arch rival away by that much is beyond great!! That's like Milan trashed merda 6:0 in 2001

They were sodomized

Spartak scored a fast goald but after the equalizer they disappeared. Their defense were pathetic and Dynamo has two very good thechikal strikers in Bangura and Milevsky that scored all the goals. Pavlyuchenko did nothing all game

Hmm... think those two strikers you named are up to Milan standard heheh?

Artem Milevsky (23, 1.90 m) might be in a year or so. He's strong, fast, dribbles well ,good in air and has a pretty good shot. This season seems to be starting to fulfill all the hype with 9 goals in 11 games since the season started.

You own.


Oh get out! Nothing wrong with Sweden!

Do you dislike them more than Denmark, or you just hate all other Scandinavian countries?

The zebras aren't having much luck. Grygera was hurt in the 15th minute and was replaced by Iaquinta. Salihamidzic has moved back into the RB position.

Yeah that will hurt them... but they are 2-0 up... with goals by Camoranesi and Del Piero...

Reina just saved a penalty for *********.

Make that 3-0 for the zebras. Goal Chiellini (header off a set piece).

Go Juve.

Oh I forgot there was games tonight .... Im tuning in to the Schalke match ...

Just noticed this score..

Anorthosis 3 - 0 Olympiakos.. talk about a giant killing!

Eto'o scored for Barcelona, It seems he motivated

Liverpool are getting battered by Liege, but still 0-0. They've missed a penalty, had one go in but the linesman said it hadn't () and Liverpool just can't keep hold of the ball. This performance pretty much shows why nobody wants Shabby Alonso.

Inter can have him lol.

FC Twente 0-2 Arsenal FT
Gallas & Adebayor.

I hear the Schalke vs Atletico match got a bit ugly... there were like 9 yellow cards or so... and one player sent off for Atletico. 1-0 Schalke won... that's a very narrow advantage... especially when Atletico is known for lots of goals at home.

FT Zebras 4 - 0 Artmedia. Legrottaglie got the 4th goal right at the end of the second half.

Yes, plenty of wrong with Sweden .
I don't have too much problems with Denmark, they're languague is...strange and they don't have anything that even looks like a mountain or a hill, but they're okay.
Finland are cool, Iceland is great, but Sweden? No good.

^^ Haha. Y'know, Locke, that reminds me of what the Danes say about the Norwegians: 'They talk funny and have too many hills but they're all right'. Danes don't like the Swedes either (and they tell a LOT of drunk Swede jokes). Mellberg aside, Sweden isn't that popular, it would seem.

Standard Liega 0-0 Liverpool
-Liege had a shot that went over the line, goal not given.
-Reina saved a penalty.
-Gerrard is Liverpool. Without him they're crap, Torres looks nothing more than average, Alonso's a waster.

Let's hope Gerrard gets injured for the 2nd leg, then they're out.

Very surprising

hmm maybe they like it

i sorta what them to make it in then f up, that way they arent 100% focused on the league. then again theres the revenue that the CL brings in... anways i just want them to have another caca season

I hate liverpool as much as anyone else. Fernando Torres is definitely overrated... he had a lucky shot in the Euro Cup final. Heck it was David Villa driving that team...

This could be first time we see a team from Cyprus in group stage, right? Peeeuuh, now I'm a bit releaved. Seem that Rapid Vienna isn't such a crappy team as it appeared.


As for my home team...Dinamo Zagreb lost to Shakhtar 2:0, one goal scored by Jadson, the other by Srna. I got annoyed watch Srna. Why isn't someone trying to get him? Everytime I see him play he does great. C'mmon, I wanna see him in a real good team..

My thouhgts exactly. Every time I see him I play I think about how he's got great potential, but he needs a bigger club to be able to get the most out of it.

Srna looks eerily like the kind of purchase Ramos would make. A player who's good, but no one seems too interested in.

The fish doll is still mad at Srna. HE CUT HIS HAIR! (I agree with above posters -- Srna is class and I'd love to see him playing somewhere other than the Ukraine).

Oh, his hair is growing fast. It'll be regular size till group stage I presume..

Still too early to make judgements. They miss wide-players... that obvious, specially with Babel in the Olympics.
That's why I don't get this Barry-saga.

Man Utd looked like shite in the beginning of last season when Ronaldo missed 2 or 3 matches.


Everyone in the EPL is overrated. Rooney, Ronaldo, Scholes, Giggs, Gerrard, Lampard, Terry (!), Ferdinand, Vidic, Torres, Barry, Carragher, Carrick (!), Downing, etc etc etc.
No mather how good you are. EPL makes you better.

Funny to see that after the Inter-Liverpool last season, no one here called Torres overrated.

Well... overrated or not - nowadays - he is the best foward in the world.

I'm not sure if I'd call Torres THE best in the world, but I think he's certainly among the very best.
