Who would you like to go through and win?
Voyou San
for the Champions league, i would prolly say Roma, dont care too much for the other teams.

for the UEFA, i would say Bayern Munich
Athrun
I hope Chelsea goes through. Barcelona, Manchester and Liverpool as well.
Roma knocked out Real Madrid though, so it wont be easy for Machester United.

Four English teams left in the quarter finals. That's pretty good for English football.
I haven't watched any UEFA games though.

Im a Manchester United fan, and Im very happy with the draws. I just dont want Arsenal to win it really tongue.gif And the teams Chelsea and Barca drew I think nuts. Those two teams should be able to go ahead no problem.
Pesmerga
In the CL: I hope Barcelona and Liverpool. I hate Chelsea and Man U (no offense, Noon) and wouldn't be happy if those 2 teams would win anything.
Barcelona has an amazing team, including some great talents (Bojan, Dos Santos) and Liverpool is just a team you can't really dislike.

In the UEFA Cup, it would be good to see the Rangers get to the final. They have done pretty good in the CL, but it wasn't enough.
Maybe they can take a shot at this title.
PSV would be another candidate. This is a team that never did amazing things in European football, yet it is a team to be reckoned with. It has produced some superstar players over the years (Romario, Ronaldo) and did got some good results.
Athrun
Haha, I can't believe Fernerbahce beat Chelsea. My friend would have won some money if Chelsea won. About $80.
It was 0 - 1 through a self goal when we talked around 60 minutes in. Then all of a sudden at 80 there was a message that the score had been turned to 2 - 1. (We were watching the Arsenal - Liverpool game)
I didn't see that coming, but the goal David (or whatever his name was) made at 80 minutes was beautiful. So it seemed like a well deserved victory.
I guess we shouldn't forget that Fernerbahce did well in making it this far, so they probably shouldn't be taken lightly.

Arsenal - Liverpool was pretty good too. 1 - 1 and Arsenal put on a lot of pressure in the second half. So close to getting a goal, but one of their own forwards saved the ball from getting in. LOL
brakeonthroo
You can all suck it, Arsenal is a good team who is somehow the underdog in teh Champions league and I dont understand why.Sure they fell off a bit in EPL, but they dominate Liverpool and are gunning for the finals and I know they can do it. As for Uefa, bunch of wannabe Champions leauge teams except for Bayern Munich who has come out on fire with Luca Toni, Podolski, and Ribery

I agree. Manchester United's form in both the Premiership and Champions league show that they can, and most probably will go all the way. With Rooney and Ronaldo Manchester United have all they need to achieve it.

I predict a Manchester United vs Liverpool final. Liverpool and not doing so well in the Premiership, but in Europe they always deliver and I see them beating Arsenal who are on a bad run.
Athrun
Ronaldinho seems to be injured, so he won't play.
Arsenal played great in the second half and basic dumb luck kept them from scoring. I hope the rematch will be just as entertaining.
Drogba... I mean Chelsea have to do well in their rematch. And I think they will. Drogba will unleash the beast.
Voyou San
i really cant stand rooney so i hope man u loses
Noonstalker
Ill be watchin today. Arsenal and Liverpool play for the 3rd time in a week, so it shall be emotional match for sure.
SpikeJr
If it was as good as the first leg I can't wait to see it.
Athrun
Drogba is going to shoot some fire tonight.

I hope Chelsea loses. I would love the upset!
Athrun
I think if Chelsea score 2-1, the game will go into overime?
SpikeJr
Yeah if Chelsea win 2-1 then it will be 4-4 on aggregate and it will go to extra time, the games just kicked off now.

Edit: After 3 minutes Chelsea are already winning 1-0 through Michael Ballack.

Awesome. I bet Drogbas flame cleared the path for him.

Liverpool - Arsenal is on tv here, so it's the only one I can watch. 0-0 so far after 10 minutes.

~Edit~

Diaby just scored for Arsenal. 1-0 after 12 minutes.
Great! I hope Arsenal wins. They deserved it last match.
SpikeJr
Lol just as i read that I heard Diaby scored for Arsenal.

I couldn't decide which game to watch so I'm flicking through both now.
Athrun
Damn, Adebayor almost did 2-0. Arsenal are on a roll even without Henry.
SpikeJr
Yeah I saw that chance. Arsenal are on fire Liverpool don't seen to be playing as a whole team.

The Chelsea Goalkeeper has been subbed off after hurting his knee Hilaro there third choice keeper is now on.
Athrun
Liverpool just scored, so it's 1-1. Really nice headder.
SpikeJr
Yep nice goal by Sami Hyypia. This is great for Liverpool it will bring them back into it and because its getting played at Anfield it will help them. There could be plenty more goals in this match.
Athrun
Damn, Liverpool won by a cheat penalty. That really wasn't a penalty. And their 2-2 goal was amazing. That young guy just plowed through the entire Liverpool defense one by one, unstopable, and passed to Adebayor. Gorgeous goal, but then one minute later the reff made a very bad call, and it ruined the game. Arsenal would have won with 2-2.

At least Chelsea won their game 2-0. Lampard made the second goal I hear.
Pesmerga
Beh.... Chelsea. God, I hate that team.
Noonstalker
Man Utd and Barca is gonna rock. The winner of that will win the final.
You heard it hear first!
SpikeJr
Will be a good game between two of Europe's best. I expect a Liverpool vs Barcelona final but if Man U bring their A' Game theres no telling what will happen.

Uefa Cup tomorrow. Mon the Gers!!

They walked all over Roma without Rooney and Ronaldo and a few other starters eh. I think Man U will go all the way.
SpikeJr
I dunno if they beat Barcelona then I think they will.

I wouldn't say the walked all over Roma. Roma had 15 shots and Man U had 8. Possession was quite even and Roma just couldn't score. If they had scored the penalty it could have been an entirely different game. But in the end Man U definitely deserved to win.
Noonstalker
Barca is without Carlos Pyoul, and I think a few other key plays. I dunno if Lionel Messi is gonna be back and if Ronaldhino will be too.
Pesmerga
I'll keep my hopes up for Barça. One of my favourite teams, as well as Liverpool, so I hope both win.
I do not like MCU nor Chelsea and I like both Liverpool and Barça, so my roots will go to them.
Both teams have 2 of my favourite players, Lionel Messi and Dirk Kuyt, who came from the team I am rooting for.
SpikeJr
I'm just happy Rangers made it through to the Semi Final to play Fiorentina. Bayern should be out they didn't deserve to beat Getafe but Zenit may prove to be tough opponents yet. Even if Bayern get to the final I'm confident the Uefa cup will be heading to Ibrox this year, one of the four trophies we will be winning this year.

We deservingly beat Sporting Lisbon 2-0 away from home.

Darcheville goal.

I'm sorry to let you down but Fiorentina is going to win, I was for PSV and I saw the match. Italians just play dirty mate, they will win, fair or not...

As for champions league, I was rooting for Arsenal but now I'm for chelsea just because I'm not for Man U (I hate "sir" Alex Ferguson, Rooney, Ronaldo and all those other arrogant dudes). Barca has already won once, Liverpool as well so Chelsea is my hope.

Also how can you be for Dirk Kuyt?? He's got absolutely no technique, he doesn't have the looks, he screws up in the national squad... (and this is coming from a Dutchman)
Pesmerga
Yeah, I am Dutch as well and rooting for Feyenoord, so of course I have a soft spot for him.
He has no looks? Since when does that matter in fooball? No skill? I can clearly remember why Liverpool wanted him in the first place.
He doesn't screw up the National Squad either, that is van Basten's job.
SpikeJr
Rangers have had a hard season with so many fixture problems and the games just keep getting harder we have Celtic to play on Wednesday and St Johnstone to play in the Scottish cup semi-final on Sunday but Walter Smith, Ally McCoist and Kenny McDowell have built a great team in the year they have been there and the determination is fantastic we also have great players while Fiorentina's best threat is Adrian Mutu. If we can get him under control and close watch from Carlos Cuellar he will be no problem. I know Italians are dirty but our players like Chris Burke, Steve Davis and Lee McCulloch will have no problem with dealing with them. I'm just so confident if we win 1 or 2 nothing at home we will be heading to Manchester for the final. The only bad thing for our team is that we are missing our captain Barry Ferguson for the home game but we have other candidates who will be able to hold the team together.

Dirk Kuyt isn't that bad but Liverpool have better strikers like Fernando Torres who has been outstanding this season his finish against Arsenal was very nice. For the Champions League I still want Barcelona to win although I wouldn't mind seeing Darren Fletcher picking up the Champions League trophy so if Man U win thats not to bad.
Athrun
Torres is awesome. Him and Gerrard are the reason I watch Liverpool's games.

I don't know Football but

Arsenal FTW!

I can't believe the semi-finals are next week it seems so soon.

As for Rangers we've taken a lot of blows from the Celtic match last night. We lost 2-1 but Celtic did not deserve to win, they scored a 94th minute lucky goal. Our class act goal keeper Allan McGregor got injured after 50 minutes but stayed on till 70 even though he could barely walk and he saved a penalty after about 60 minutes which also meant we were down to 10 men but we still played them off the park. Like every action packed Old Firm games from the past 100 years there was also fights between players. This means for the Fiorentina game we are missing our best goal keep who has been excellent all season, missing both our centre backs, one of who won player of the season, we are missing our captain Barry Ferguson and Lee McCulloch one of our best players.

The only thing I can say about the defeat from Celtic is Celtic first goal was amazing I have to give them that. Wait for the second replay and you'll see the movement of the ball. Amazing strike, best goal I've seen all season from anyone, funny thing is the goal of the season award went out the day before it!

Pesmerga
Never give up hope =P.
In 2002 Feyenoord won the UEFA Cup, beating teams such as Inter Milan. We won against all odds and suffered some blows along the way and fought hard battles, Rangers, PSV and so on.

I think it would be nice if the Rangers would win, dunno why, it is just a feeling I have with certain teams, when I think they deserve to win. Rangers did well in the Champions League, even causing problems for Barcelona, so I think they deserve this one =).
SpikeJr
Haha Thanks! laugh.gif

Well its that time again, Liverpool vs Chelsea tonight.
Man U vs Barcelona tomorrow and Rangers Vs Fiorentina and Bayern vs Zenit St Petersburg on Thursday should be a good week of football, I'm looking forward to the Liverpool game tonight.
Pesmerga
Tonight I'll be rooting for Liverpool.
I like Dirk Kuyt, as his time at Feyenoord gave him a place in the heart of all Feyenoord fans and we're all waiting till his return, as he promised he will return before he retires. Usually players keep their promise, as Giovanni returned to Feyenoord this season.
I also like other players from Liverpool, such as Torres and Gerard. The only thing I don't like is the departure of Dudek, their former GK. He also came from Feyenoord and was highly praised for his skills.
Voyou San
go RANGERS (cheering them on for you Spike)
SpikeJr
Haha thanks dudes! Come Thursday I'll keep you'll all updated on the game.

So far the Liverpool vs Chelsea game has been pretty good. Chances both end the only goal has gone Liverpool's way. Lampard failed to clear just outside the box, he was tackled and the ball fell to Xabi Alonso I think he hit it weakly in the box and it fell to the unmarked Dirk Kuyt who neatly slotted it between Petr Cech's legs to score minutes before the break.

Half time at Anfeild Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea.
Noonstalker
Wont be able to watch any matches as my new job is from 7:45 am to 4:30 pm. Ill come home tomorrow and catch the end of the games. Highlight Reel for me dry.gif
