"[B] Champs League Final !!! [/B][I] Monaco v Porto [/I]"

0-1

Looks like being a brilliantly open, attacking game tonight. not too far away either. I can't really see the 2 teams being cagey, especially with deschamps and mourinho.

Nothing like last year. the teams may or may not lack pure class in your opinion, but they both know how to play football.



Predictions perhaps? i'll optimistically go for a 3-2 to porto.



News Flash:-

early news- line ups anounced. brazilian potential of carlos alberto chosen over benny mccarthy.

40 mins- carlos alberto scores with a brilliant volley.


7:45 kick off (sky sports 1 OR ITV1)

...And that was the final whistle. 3-0 to Porto and joy for the Lipe. The manager's just run onto the pitch spraying champagne around like a nutter. And celebration indeed. He's likely to be getting a new job soon.

Penalties my ass! 3-0 TO PORTO!!

This game is boring.

Nah, definately penalties. I can see it coming...

0-1 porto

carlos alberto, quality finish. superbly controlled volley.



that's already 1 goal, zully :)

giuly off injured. prso in.

hard luck for ludo. deserved a good run out after his performances this year. captain too.

i don't see any reason why we shouldn't have got it. since the trad brick game, we've had an impecable record. also, it's not just on the pitch. it's attitude towards the ref and fans and stuff.

No i meant a big long rant. Saying how i just dont get it.

in the 56 seconds before i typed that:

alberto hit the bar.
roma brought derlei down for a pen.
he subsequently got sent off.
mourinho had an overdose on the sideline for the pressure.
the referee had to be carted off by men in white jackets.

still no goals in those 56 seconds from kick off to post though.
