1. I have to say Eto'o really is maybe the best striker in the world right now. He is strong, fast has a great technique, knows how to score and also see's his team mates, for example the winning goal. And also Ranocchia is a great defender. But I think that if Robben wasnt injured Bayern would go to the next round.


    Somebody heard the bad news about Abidal? They found a tumor on his liver


  2. He has to be operated on friday, but they dont know if its a good or a bad tumor. Dont know if thats right to say in English because tumors are always bad.
  3. good luck to him
  4. Suprised that inter made it through. They might draw Spurs and Bale can pull thier pants down all over again
  5. who knows .. you already had moments of glory in group stage matches
  6. Originally posted by bartajax:Unbelieveble how much luck you can have in a game. Inter really plays on a extreme defending way, a shame for soccer. Hopefully they will go out in the next round, but I guess they will keep playing with 10 defenders and with a counter they will score on a lucky way.


    But still Bayern had to score at least 4 or 5 times, they were much and much better.


    They play to win.


  7. Yep, but I prefer teams who play to win with trying to attack and playing good football. But thats my opinion and I do understand teams who play defending but it isnt my game.

    Does anybody know when they are going to draw for the next round?
  8. every opinion is respectable of course but how comes we scored 3 goals and had at least the same number of chances staying always in defense? and what about team like Arsenal Tottenham, for example, which barely passed the half field? only Inter bothers?

    anyway we'll be in the draw .. which is going to take place on friday .. coming to your question
  9. i didn't know that Remy plays in Marseille ..

    I agree, I prefer the attacking side of football too. I was just offering another side to the argument, that Inter went out to win and if that meant defending then so be it. They did score 3 goals though to their credit.

    Quarter final draw is on Friday.



    Yeah, hopefully he hasn't been throwing results to boost his predictions
  11. I think we could all agree that Inter has some great players like Eto'o, Sneijder, Lucio and others but their style of playing is not my style and the same goes for the way Arsenal played last week, I understand why they do it and if is was a manager of a team who has to play against Barcelona I think i would have done the same.

    Lets hope for some good games in the next round.
