Agreed... Juve lacked conviction and heart... poor performances allround...

I'll watch the remaining games for sure but it's just not the same when the team I support is not there again...

Say what, I have to stick to my guns, Milan is my hopeful for the rest of the league.

I expect a Chelsea v Milan final with Milan to edge it
 
psv wins! beasley missed his penalty but oh well! i believe he's the first American player to play in the semis of the Champions League
 
Milan vs Chelsea in the final, where I think it'll pretty much be a tossup since Milan's defense should be able to deal with Drogba's height and other attacking players.... Then again Chelsea's defense is one of the most solid around so it's pretty hard to say who will go through but if I had to choose now I'd say that Chelsea are poised to win it all.

Can't wait for this match 🙂

Milan for the win :beer:
 
I am shocked... only the next 4 European home games behind closed doors and a fine of £132,000.... that is by far too lenient from UEFA... fully agree with spherrod on that one.

I was expecting a ban of around 3 seasons at least to solidify the no tolerance stance on these incidents... why do i feel this will come around to haunt UEFA... there's gonna be another incident and they'll be as impotent as ever.
 
Very lenient decision by UEFA. They've got no balls at all. The only hope now is that the Italian football governing body strikes down a ban on flares and fan/ultras violence.

I won't be holding my breath - doesn't seem to be any willing to clamp down on this kind of behaviour by any one in authorities

Yep, something else will happen - maybe not with Inter but an opportunity to set a clear has now been missed. UEFA are useless - how on earth can they be considering the overall game of Football with a decision like that?
 
I can't believe I almost missed this post. Since Madrid were knocked out it hasn't been as important, but Milan looks strong as usual. But what Morinho has done with Chelsea is pretty amazing. I've always considered them mediocre but he's turned into a great team. He may be arrogant and what not but he surely knows what he's doing. Out of the two, Milan...Sheva's one of my favourite players so I gotta root for him.

Eh the final lineup looks pretty good but I can see this becoming a pretty boring match.... Both sides are completely abundant with talent but Milan have a habit of being able to control teams extremely well and to slow down the game in their favor...

I guess we'll just have to see 😛
 
bump for today's Milan vs PSV match.

I don't know if you mean to actually watch it online, but uefa.com has a live matchcenter that updates with info on the game.

Edit: Milan won 2-0, BTW
 
The game was decent, better than I expected from PSV.

Sheva's goal was good but the best I saw from him was when he took down the ball and attempted to lob the keeper all in one motion, the keep pulled off a great save!

Can't wait for Chelsea vs. Liverpool tomorrow, I hope it turns out to be an end to end fast paced match!

nah i meant a torrent file since i had to take a midterm during the game

just finished watching it. PSV deserved so much better. Ji Sung Park was tearing up the Milan defense but PSV couldn't finish for sh*t! and they were unlucky to give up a last minute goal as well. They really deserved at least a draw. last year Milan lost 4-0 to Deportivo in the return leg to knock them out, so you never know. PSV may still pull through.

Can't wait for Chelsea vs Liverpool tomorrow. ESPN2 at 11:30am PST. Should be a good one!
 
I'm still stunned at the goal Rooney scored over the weekend.

Sigh. :brokenheart: Better luck next year I guess.

I'm pulling for Milano now.
 
And I am sorry to tell you all, but ESPN has canceled tomorrows Champions League game. They're going to show Worlds Strongest Man 1997, World Poker Tour 1986 and NBA playoff highlights from 1992 instead.
