Skip this blog post.


Yes! In early April. It's only for a year or two. :(

I'm alright! I know someone there already, and he's helping me a lot with everything! :D It was a pretty wild culture shock at first, but it helps that everyone around me talks about football!

So far I've met a:
Lebanese Juventina.
Bitter Gunner. (Has a Ryan Giggs poster though)
Trash talking Barcelona supporter. "Lol your team is Juve? Why man!"

An old, old guy who's mad about Liverpool. I think he's in his 60s?
Two Milanisti (pretty cool guys, and yes they complained about the ghost goal :p)
One who supports Madrid + Merda.

Got a feeling Bayern might sneak it today - one goal margin.

You can get 4/1 on both teams scoring in the first half. Seems like a decent shout.

That's actually better. A less defensive Real Madrid.

It's a more "defensive" Madrid in that Coentrao has to close down Robben while Marcelo usually attacks all game long.

We are careful with this match.

And seriously, 95% of the Madrid fans saw it coming, that Coentrao would start this one. It were never even up for debate.

I didn't post on this kind of threads of this forum, I usually post on other local forums specifically dedicated to the sport in question, but given the overwhelming support by Blablurn & Co. present here I'll just say:

'Hoy se rompe la maldición bávara, ¡a por la décima!¡Hala Madrid!'

I'm sorry but I'm not a psychic. Marcelo played well last time.



Why? Last time I checked Marcelo has started more than Coe. Both are attacking defenders.

It doesn't matter. Marcelo played the league game for a reason and Mourinho prefers some defensive responsibility against a fearful attack of Bayern, especially Robben and Ribery.

Anyway, HALA Madrid!

oh god im getting nervous

HALA MADRID

edit: Duh at Coentrao starting. He's been starting all CL matches, plus we need his more defensive mindedness against Bayern's wingers.

I'm with Bayern in this one. I've never liked the spanish teams for whatever reason.

Actually, I would love to see Madrid losing both the semifinal and the League (really improbable though) just because I really hate Mou's arrogance.

Germany, I've seen Heja BVB going around recently.

In England, COME ON YOU FUCKING REDS

Actually, the unofficial lineup was a 4-3-3 with both Marcelo and Coentrao playing in the left wing, that was more defensive.

Yea, that was newspaper bullshit line-up as usual.

But yea I see why you say it's a more attacking line-up then. :)

Robben's not going to have his attacking neutered by an attacking fullback forcing him to track back. He's just going to use that space to abuse and exploit you.

Haha, a member of a Bayern forum I visit managed to get a volunteer job for this match, maybe the boots issue is his fault :p

Case is, Coentrao has been great defensively for us this season, much better than Marcelo for this game at the Allianz. And I'm even one who says Marcelo is the world's best left back.

it's a trap - they've stiffened the middle and will invite Bayern on and then sucker them on the counter.

It's going to depend on the first goal - if Real score early doors then we could be in for an unfortunate night of football.

Stealing their boots is a brilliant idea.

Would be more awesome if they end up selling them on Bayern's online store!

I don't feel comfortable calling Alves and Marcelo the best in the world in their respective positions. Especially Marcelo

I can't think of any better right back than Alves except arguably Lahm. And can't think of any better left back (although not as much quality there)

Are all Championship teams playing tonight as well?

Yeah, Reading could go 6 points clear with two to play for!

They'll go up and I'l say Southampton as well, West Ham are in the playoffs and it's looking likely Birmingham are too, so it's between Blackpool, Cardiff and Middlesbrough for the remaining two. Hopefully Birmingham or Blackpool come up.

I just haven't seen them do enough defending for me to feel confident in judging them. Alves is certainly one of the best right wingers in the world :p
