[FOOTBALL] HOLY SHIT! The Best Game to be soon On TV!
It's the Champion's League draw
Real Madrid v Juventus
FC Porto v Inter Milan
Barcelona v Chelsea<----------- The one to definitely watch.
Werder Bremen v Lyon
Liverpool v Bayer Leverkusen
PSV v Monaco
Manchester United v AC Milan
Bayern Munich v Arsenal
The first leg matches will be played on 22/23 February and the return ties are on 8/9 March.
I'll now pray and hope that Makaay and Ballack are injured for both legs.

It's quite possible that Liverpool could be the only English team to get through :eek:.

Quite a high quality draw though Chelsea vs Barcelona is definatly the one I will be looking forward to watching. More than possible no English team gets through though which would be shocking.

I wouldnt go quite that far, AC Milan are looking very strong again.
Having said that you never can tell, Porto and Monaco surprised everyone last time by getting to the final.

That, and the fact they are extremely consistent. They won five of their group games with a solid 1-0, and the only goal scored against them was a penalty that should not have been given in the first place.
They're currently also cruising through the Serie A fairly comfortably.
Edit: Also, in light of the Barca preference in this thread, I reckon some of you might like this goal by Eto'o in this week's friendly against Ajax. Barcelona won the game 2-1, despite Ajax having most chances and hitting the woodwork no less than three times

13 years ago, Arsenal used to win 1-0 a lot of the times. They were eventually dubbed "Boring Boring Arsenal". So "Boring Boring Juve"?
P.S. Chelsea were also consistent in this tournament so far.
EDIT: Leshy, where the **** was the right-back for Ajax to close down Eto'o? I mean, superb goal (which is why he's African Player of the Year), but what happened to the defence?

Boring, perhaps. But Italian teams have narrowed it down to an absolute art.

That's what I was wondering as I was watching the game too. I distinctly remember going "Whoa, he's completely free. Get in there, De Jong, before he closes down on...... holy mother of god, did he just do that?"
Oh, and for the record, the dude playing as right-back was Obodai, he's the black dude that comes running up on the right-hand side, not being anywhere near where he's supposed to be. He played absolutely shit, but then as a minor point in his defence, he's a defensive midfielder, not a full back. And De Jong, who is the guy running in the center should have covered Eto'o for him.

Re: [FOOTBALL] HOLY SHIT! The Best Game to be soon On TV!
Thats a truly ****ing superb draw, and i doubt theres a match there we wouldnt want to see.
Anyone think that theyll play just one match a night if we ask nicely?

They absoloutely outclassed Valencia, who were the group favourites. That says to me theyre on song, and i think they can do a Leverkusen from a few years back.
