Dzeko and Balotellia are talented but very streaky players. Unless there was an injury concern, I think it was a huge mistake not to start El Kun, or at least to wait for the last 10 minutes to introduce him. Aguero and Silva working together is what stirs the sky blue drink.
You are missing the love that is seeing United fail.....A draw vs Basel sees them thru. A win and either a Benfica draw or loss and they are the top of the group. A loss sees them go home unless Benfica loses and then I believe its goal differential? In any case, win or draw and United moves on.
I think I'm going to start using this.
If only Tevez were still alive
please no
What are the odds they put a top squad out to knock out City?
I bet Jerome Boateng gets a run out
Doesnt matter what City does, if Villareal cant at least tie Napoli, its over for MCFC. Gonna have to settle for the premier league title.
Just watched the game, Cavani is a stud. Napoli hasn't been this good for 20 years so seeing them play this well is a treat. I've seen quite a few games at San Paulo but I never saw it like it was today. Outstanding.
Now to beat Villarreal and advance. O surdato nammurato!
I understand. Still want them to go out on a losing note
This might be the best thing for them, too. Or at least for Mancini. He can't manage on three or four fronts
don't see this at all. This team is incredibly deep and it could easily mix and match to go deep in all four competitions. Champions League is not the one you throw either. Mancini's lineups have been inexplicable at times. He starts Kun over the weekend and then sits him now? I get that they want to win them all, but you are in a do or die situation in CL this week. You have to put your best lineup out there.I understand. Still want them to go out on a losing note

and like I said, MANCINI can't do it. This team is built for it, he'll screw it up
damn.and doesn't TFC play on turf too?
England seems too high.
Visca el Barça!
yea we talked about this earlier in the thread.The comparison is a bit difficult to make for three reasons1) A broadcast network always has an advantage over a cable network2) You could have put cross stitching on after an NFL game and it would still draw ratings due to the power of the lead in show. MLS Cup had a studio show on before it as a lead in.3) MLS Cup ratings were divided between two stations. The media is only reporting the ESPN ratings, seeming to forget that Galavision also showed the game at the same time.'El Floppo said:
they used to but replaced it with grass before the 2011 season started.3 of the 4 are in the pacific northwest so it must have something to do with the weather. As much as I hate the turf, I can kind of understand Seattle being stuck with it. Grass would never hold up with that many teams playing on it.'El Floppo said:
Villarreal is garbage this season. They are playing better the last few weeks, but they aren't a top team any longer. I don't see them taking down Napoli, who is on a tear this year in CL and doing some damage in Serie A too.Also, what the hell happened to inter this season??'derek245583 said:

He's been a force for my Football Manager Liverpool side for quite some time now.
Brazil, Portugal, and Argentina have all been playing pretty mediocre. Portugal just squeaked into Euro 2012 and Brazil and Argentina have been getting beat up by their fellow South Americans.The top 4 are pretty clear. After that it's a bit of a crapshoot to fill out the rest of the top ten.'Slapdash said:
Napoli!
Look at United... they can't even beat mediocore quality CL teams anymore. The international field is getting tougher. Some of these small league winners that used to be fodder have some real talent.I think Mancini is doing pretty well. Sure, he has a team of superstars, but United and Chelsea aren't exactly scraping the bottom of the barrel. It also brings a lot of player management headaches that he has thus far navigated successfully. This is the first year City has really looked like a team. It's one thing to get all of these players on a roster, but it's entirely another to get them to gel on and off the field.'The Gator said:agree 100%'prefontaine said:don't see this at all.

Domenica with a population of 72K is the Herman Cain of world soccer. In October they jumped up 46 places in the rankings.
but fell 21 positions in November following away losses to Panama and Nicaragua.Lebanon improved by 35 positions to #111 after upsetting South Korea in Beirut. They will advance to the next round of Asian WC qualifiers unless Kuwait beats Korea away in February.

Did not see it but I think the stutter step is grounds for a yellow...
That's the only explanation....don't see the stutter-step often. I had the TV on mute because I was listening to the Arsenal game; I don't know if Messi was talking back to the ref or something.
he completely stopped on his stutter step.he basically walked up to the ball, stopped to tie a shoe and fix his shin guards then kick
Link to any online replays. Work and holidays had me on BBC text only.Would love to see the Chelsea loss, too.That Milan v Barca game was one of the better games I've seen this year... great action both ways, great goals, strange plays (Messi with the "oops" stutter step PK)... do yourself a favor and watch a replay.eta:Seedorf
