Nicolas Cage 1 - Real Madrid 0

A Nicolas Cage look-alike pulled one on Real Madrid on the same day of the recent loss to Roma in the Champions League. He fooled Madrid into thinking that he’s the actual thing, and got to sit in the directors box as a special guest of Real Madrid’s president.
He doesnt look like the real thing […]

Milan vs. Manchester United: Its Istanbul All Over Again

 
“We were perfect!”
The prospect of a final between one of the biggest, if not the biggest, English derbies, in the European final were blown away, as AC Milan effectively neutralized all Manchester United’s threats, and took advantage of the mockery that Sir Alex calls “defense.”
For the second game in a row (with Milan that is) […]

Liverpool vs. Chelsea: Eat That Mourinho!!!

No, No, No, you shut up…you shut up.
Probably the most hated figure in European, if not World, football. Glad to see him get kicked out at the semis.
The matched ended 1-0 to Liverpool in full time, which meant that it had to go to extra time. Still no one managed to score. It went to […]

Champions League Quarterfinals Review+Goals

We have reached the quarter finals of the world’s most prestigious club competition. There were some good matches played. You can expect the 2nd leg to be even better as all clubs will give their all in order to reach the semifinals. Only Liverpool realistically have put their foot in the semifinals, by beating PSV […]

Champions League Wednsday: 2nd Round First Leg

Barcelona 1-2 Liverpool
Kafoo Wallah! I think the Liverpool fans didnt expect this result. I knew that this would be the best time to play Barcelona. They have been going through a hard time. Their performances havent been that encouraging. They are certainly the same Barcelona of last season. It wasnt really that exciting of a […]

Champions League Tuesday: 2nd Round First Leg

PSV 1-0 Arsenal
Well Arsenal did start the match well. The first half was almost totally Arsenal. They had the upper hand, but they didnt manage to add something to the scoreboard. The second half PSV came out a total different team than the one we saw in the first half. They managed to get the […]

Champions League 2nd Round Draw

I wanted Arsenal to draw Celtic, PSV, or Lille, and they got PSV, which aint that bad. Seems like we have to play them every year almost.
I guess the biggest game Liverpool vs Barcelona, the 2005 champions vs the 2006 champions. Another big game is Bayren vs Real Madrid. Valencia vs Inter should be interesting […]

Champions League Tuesday: Late Gunners Show

My boys did it! When things became serious they prevailed (I just wish they do this in the league too). I didn’t watch the match from the very beginning. I was kind off let down that Hamburg scored so early. It was a very crucial match for Arsenal, who had to win this match in […]
