UCL

Real Madrid will take the La Liga this year I suppose
I´ve seen Real Madrid´s games 3-4 pcs in few last weeks...
And they every time won their match, they´ve played excellent this spring season, as a matter of fact after Ronaldo left Madrid, might sound crazy,
but yes they´ve played better w/ out him... Real Madrid has many own futurepromises that have got more playtime this season (Higuain, Gago & Torres)...

Not a long time ago Barcelona had like 6-7 points lead into RM, but thanks 2 how weak Barcelona played they´re now equal, and RM has better goal ratio.

I´ll be watchin 2morrow Barcelona´s condition, while they play against Athletico Madrid... Athletico have played each year well against Barcelona @ their homestadium..This will be intresting 2 follow..

I know working nightshift, well i was @ last weekend 2 nights workin in Eurovision demolition here in Helsinki, 20 hours total. I think i slept 8 hours in two & half days only.

Ill be watchin Fa-Cup final 2day. Chelsea vs Man U...
Haven´t seen any matches from this competition this year..
They show these matches (tv channels) on payTV only except the final...

Yeah , i agree about Real Madrid . Every game iv'e seen the last couple of weeks they've been great . Im also going to watch the Atlethico Madrid vs Barcelona game tomorrow. I still hope Barcelona will win the title. La liga games are free to watch on swedish television . The FA-Cup today is on a channel you need to pay for , that sucks.
La liga , most of Serie A(italy) and champions league are on free channels overhere. Also Allsvenskan(swedish) on saturdays , but you have to live here to like that league . You guys wouldnt like the lack of quality in it haha :knockout:

Yeah , working nights is pretty hard . Have to switch up your sleeping pattern
and then switch back again . I only work 4 nightshift in 4 weeks so its okay . What were you doing at the Eurovision thing? was it like working backstage or something?

@ supavillain and Lamberto Quintero . Is that the mexican league yall talking about? Im not that updated about Central American and South American leagues. Just read occasionally in the papers about teams from Brazil and Argentina . Also Chile get some space in the papers overhere due to the big population with roots from Chile in Sweden . I know one thing though , you guys have MASSIVE Arenas . Like 100 000 + Stadiums . Thats pretty rare overhere in Europe .

Drogba got the goal @ 2nd extra time, and that was enough for victory.

I think you have the same kind of contract coz, we have free also La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga plus The Finnish League....

Swedish league is good, Alfonso Alves is very good player.. Did he play in Malmö ? I saw that his season was very successfull in Ere divisie.
This one tvchannel used to show also Allsvenskan 2003-2005, if i remember right

I was at eurovision in demolition, you know i work in part-time job in removal company..so our firm was gettin the arena empty, packing & moving all the equipments to the warehouse, and sorted those to right places, to be able to move back their destinations around the Europe..

The America vs Chivas is a semi-final being played right now in the Mexican League, imagine Boca vs River type of rivalry, no joke! And also, America is playing a Brazilian team in another Cup, I forget what it's called. But yeah, the leagues in Latin America portray a completely different style of soccer than the leagues in Europe. There are obvious differences, like the way that Europeans spread the field so much with long passes is completely different to the way that Latin American teams bunch up and do a bunch of quick passes and play closer to eachother. The biggest difference, at least when comparing the Mexican league to european leauges (sadly), is that the players flop and complain all the time about calls, which is nothing compared to the hard play in Europe where players fuck eachother up and don't even get carded. I think this plays to a huge disadvantage to Latin American teams in terms of international play because European teams play so much tougher in a lot of cases. Which is why I want more Mexicans to go to European leagues!

 

[supavillain]

nice comparison with the rivalry dude, oh and the other cup is the Copa Libertadores....Club America is going against Santos FC, only player im sure you guys will recognize is Ze Roberto, that dude plays for Santos FC

 

[D.I.R.B]

So I heard the FA Cup Final wasn't that great...Chelsea won..

Libertadores, thats it! Yeah, and they tied the first game 0-0 right? It's crazy they're playing both tournaments at one time, but hopefully they'll win against both teams.

 

[TAKIN NO SHORTZ]

So I heard the FA Cup Final wasn't that great...Chelsea won..

nothin special, Ryan Giggs ´had a chance to make a goal, after he was able to get thru, while Chelsea tried to get him on offside..but he had bad first touch, and till second touch Chelsea defence was already on close to him..

Rooney had chance, but otherwise nothin special, good defending from both teams, there came some era´s that both teams went to attack...but that´s about it...

Barcelona is winning Athletico Madrid 0-3 after first half, all the goals came like in 5 minutes.. Athletico has some newbie goalkeeper, and Barcelona is takin full advantage of it..

Earlier today Real Madrid won their match against Recreativo
Real Madrid leaded 2-0, Recreativo came back into game 2-2, but Roberto Carlos made the final score 3-2 for Madrid.

Cool , i would like to have premier league for free also. That would be nice . I guess swedish league is okay with Scandinavian standards . The thing is we dont move forward at all . The swedish football association own every single Stadium in sweden exept Elfsborgs IF's . So the clubs never get rich , since they have to pay alot of money in rent. Look at FC Copenhagen in Denmark, They own their own Arena and are getting rich and can buy good players and
they even played in the UCL this year. If more clubs would follow their way Scandinavian football would move forward, because we breed alot of talents from up here no doubt.

Cool , i used to work some in a removal company also. Not clean , it was accually a couple of friends who worked there and when they needed an extra guy i used to hop in and get payed at the end of the day without paying taxes . Hard work though

Good looking out . Yeah , its a different style between the continents . I Enjoy watching Latin football when i get the chance. Well, its more like in big tournaments like the World Cup , Mexico have a really good team. I accually had a bet with a friend that they would beat Argentina in the quarterfinal last
World cup, they got unlucky . :beard:
How is the rivalry between the countries ? I know Brazil and Argentina hate each other , but is like that Mexico and other countries aswell?

 

[D.I.R.B]

^^Mexico and the US have a pretty big rivalry because they are the only 2 powerhouses in the CONCACAF region...

 

[TAKIN NO SHORTZ]

You got me wrong. Premierleague isn´t shown for free, only the FA-Cup final was

So its hard for me to predict , but i hope Barcelona take this . Been a fan since Romario and Stoichkov played there .

Speaking about Romario, he got his career´s 1000th goal. The match was interrupted for almost 20 minutes, while all the fans, came into field & began congratulate him. :knockout:

 

[D.I.R.B]

Oh yea, WHAT ARE YOUR PREDICTIONS FOR TODAYS MATCH?

MINE:
AC MILAN - 1 (KAKA '18)
LIVERPOOL - 2 (ALONSO 33' AND CROUCH 75')

Probably way off but we'll see...

 

[TAKIN NO SHORTZ]

And one thang i forgot 2 mention was that Van Nistelroy has got a awesome debut season in La Liga > 22 goals /3 games still to go!!!

 

[TAKIN NO SHORTZ]

I really wish and I got the feeling also that this year will be Milan´s.
Saw the interview of Milan players, Seedorf said that his place in team have changed a lot, since Shevchenko and Crespo left Milan...
Him (Seedorf) and Kaka have taken the goalscoring responsibility now.. he said it was like a natural thing to happen.

I got feeling that Seedorf and Kaka will dominate today´s match and Gattuso will be the beast, who interrupts and tackles many many Liverpool attacks in the midfield.

For scoring 2-0 or If Liverpool will got the first goal, then it will be 1-1, and Milan will make the winner on extra perioid!!!

 

[D.I.R.B]

I think milan is gonna take it too but liverpool always seems to find a way in the ucl especially the final...although they got lucky against milan last time....

 

[TAKIN NO SHORTZ]

^^I know, that´s why I don´t want that match goes to penaltys...
Paolo Maldini will play his 8th Euro cup final, got to give man a huge respect. He´s played in Ac Milan ever since season 1984-1985... And Paolo´s son (9 years old) have already started 2 play in Milan..So the Maldini´s name will be known in future as well.

Really? 8 finals? That's amazing. I knew he's been around forever, but the way he's kept his high level of play (especially is soccer) is crazy. I didn't know Paolo's son is already playing for Milan, is he a defender too?

The biggest rivalry is probably against the USA team, but Spain is always a rival too. And that game against Argentina in the World Cup was crazy, nice ass goal that Maxi Rodriguez scored...

 

[TAKIN NO SHORTZ]

Paolo Maldini played in 1994 UCL final, when Milan smashed Barcelona´s so called Dream Team even 4-0 !!!

Christian was his son´s name, and yes he plays defender.
