Re: [Football] Best 5 games you've watched this year
So far in 2007 I'll go with the following (They aren't in any particular order) :

Portsmouth 2 - 1 Manchester United

An absolute blood and thunder match, with Manchester United's superior skill being dealt with in brutal fashion by Portsmouth, shutting them down all over the pitch and slicing down Ronaldo whenever he got the ball. Portsmouth forced two goals and then spent the last 5 minutes playing an impressive backs to the wall performance while Manchester United were totally in charge and desperately trying to score. The game was more of a battle than a football match, was just like one from the old days.

Manchester United 3 - 2 AC Milan

(it's going to be on everyone's list)

Barcelona 3 - 3 Real Madrid

Great open play, great goals, 2 teams who really want for it with Messi putting in an absolute showstopper performance. The last thing you expect from a derby match between two teams that just ooze class.

Bayern Munich 0 - 2 AC Milan

This one featured AC Milan at their best. Bayern threw everything at Milan for 30 minutes and just couldn't get anywhere, they were either stopped by Dida or just didn't hit the target. Then Kaka, Inzaghi and Seedorf just went up the other end with two beautiful attacking moves and finished the tie. Bayern pressed more in the second half, but AC defended with real style, Nesta in particuIar. It was clinical Italian football at its best, reminiscent of the world cup in some ways.

West Ham 3 - 4 Spurs

This game was mental and really West Ham should have won it, it was end to end stuff with West Ham attacking beyond reason because they were utterly desperate to win. Teams fighting relegation are often the best to watch, as they play with more intensity than any team at any time. Tevez and Berbatov running the show, Tevez's goal with the manic celebrations and the near farce and absolute dejection of West Ham conceding that late goal after they had tried so hard.

I'd take issue with the Roma game, as Roma were crap and were more Ryman League than Champions League. I don't enjoy teams being flogged when they roll over, no excitement for me.
