Anyone want to guess the starting line ups?
Dida - Oddo Nesta Maldini Jankulovski - Pirlo Gattuso Seedorf
Ambrosini - Kaka - Gilardino
Reina - Finnan Carragher Agger Riise - Sissoko Mascherano Gerrard
Pennant - Kuyt Crouch
Hard to pick Liverpool team, Rafa's hard to read, I think Sissoko
is needed to track Kaka'. Pennant to expose space behind
Jankulovski. Kewell may start like last time, instead of
Crouch.

Doesnt matter, end result the same. Milan 2-0 Liverpool.
AC MILAN TO SMASH LIVERPOOL 4-1 AND THEY CAN THEN TRY AND WIN THE
PREMIERSHIP WHICH THEY HAVE NOT DONE IN ALMOST 20 YEARS !!
YES TWENTY YEARS - OOPS- THEY ONLY COMPETE FOR "CUPS THESE
DAYS" SO THE PREMIERSHIP IS OUT OF THE QUESTION
Lol....I guess you support Chelsea then? Yes they haven't won the premiership in that long, and it's something they always try and win, but yes we have had more success in the Cups for sure, at least we have the History (which no amount of money can buy......) and the best Fans in the world.....
What a crock! History no amount of money can buy - some
American just bought you and your history and your self proclaimed
best fans in the world for a couple of hundred million.

LOL at Liverpool.
How good was that Kaka throughball to set up Inghazi's brace?

How could Liverpool win, the game never went to extra -
time.When was last time Liverpool won
something over 90 mintues - ??????
Man talk about frustrating (if you are a liverpool fan) - Crouch
should have been on way earlier to lay off the crosses ..... and
Gerard was average with his poor touchs and why did Benitiz make
his subs too late - surely he needed to realise the game needed
change but just kept on keeping on with same old same old....
Yay. Milan took care of bisness. Liverpools last goal was offsides
but o well. Same sh*t.
Gerrard, average.
Zenden, horrible.
Inzaghi, Genious.
Yeah Inzaghi is class.
Milan were sh*t but Liverpool couldn't capitalise. Overall an average game.

You must have missed the defender still glued to the post - not offside.
And let's not get into the fact that Inzaghi's first went in off his arm.

yes his upper arm/shoulder, not his hand, so its a goal.

ive got a song that wont take long, Adelaide are rubbish.. the second verse is same as the first.. ADELAIDE ARE RUBBISH
Bad game by liverpool..Created alot of space, Pennant was dangerous but the finishing from Gerard and zenden was terrible..Zenden had a terrible game all his crosses hit defenders. Benitez should ave brought on Crouch and kewell earlier..Had alot of ball in the first half..should ave turned them into goals, this seems to be the major problem for Liverpool..they can control alot of ball for most of the game but their finishing always lets them down..a better team with that much possesion would ave capitalised.
Very average game from Milan, Kaka didn't see much ball but
when he did he looked dangerous...Most of the time Milan kept the
ball with the back four, smart playing to kull the momentum of
liverpool...But even with Milan playing average they still beat
Liverpool. which goes to show..Liverpool got nothing on Milan!
When the dust settles we will acknowledge that the best teams did
not make the final. Both teams did very well to get that far
and they deserve great credit for guts at times and coming back
from difficult situations on the way through. Like the FA Cup
Final we had two teams tired and not at their best.
I did not feel Liverpool were going to make it this time and so it proved. But 2-1 is not a disaster either.

Out of interest, who were the "best" teams?

Yeah well Milan should never of been in the competition to start with, but the twats at UEFA have no balls and let them in.

Chelsea...Defence...GAME OVER!!!!!
Plus they can score a goal at anfield, been their done
that.
Exactly my Man.
450mins of CL footy between these two and only 1 goal
scored......courtesy of a Mr Joey Cole!!

Yellow fever forum is one of the best sports related forums I've ever registered myself. So pleased to see discussion about UEFA championship!! I just wanted to say recent lose of Manchester City against Real Madrid. Real Madrid is my favorite UEFA league team and hopefully soon new post will be added about RMA. Thanks.

After watching this mornings game, it is hard not to pick BM winning this easily.
On todays performance no one will come near them.

I've been a fan of the Bundesliga for a while but these 2 results have stunned me. WOW!
I've posted elsewhere that Guardiola's move would bring even more focus to it, but there are so many good news stories coming out of Germany these days - fan-ownership models, affordable ticketing and terraces like Dortmund's, the strongest economy in Europe.
If the Rojas to Stuttgart rumour is true than thousands of Kiwis will be following it.

I understand that, but you are always predicting results so it will be interesting to see. I won't comment about Dortmund as I forgot to set the alarm this morning, so hopefully will see the replay later.

If anything, the one goal that Real scored flatters them. They were unable to create their own chances for large periods of the game, Dortmund were just absolutely dominant in both defence and attack. The second and third goals were incredible, the kind of thing that we would expect Messi to do.

Fair enough but i would give Dortmund a chance against Bayern whether they smashed Real over two legs or snuck through on penalties. Dortmund have stood up to Bayern over the past 2-3 seasons and although Bayern have comfortably won the league this year i still believe Dortmund are able to beat them.
Also think Dortmund have a better chance of challenging Bayern than Real, if Dortmund do progress (which they should)

Interesting, I read something not long ago that Mourinho said that Real M deserved to win the CL.
Wonder what he is thinking now.
I know it is not impossible, but it is a pretty safe bet that the two Spanish clubs are gone.

If Bayern can score one goal they will confirm a spot in the final, there's no way Barca are going to score 6. That away goal for Real could prove vital, because a 3-0 win at home isn't out of the question. It would be unlikely, but very much still possible, for Real to make it. Can't see Barca making the final though.

How can you get to watch Dortmund in NZ? It's difficult to find stuff on the web. Be great to have sky get some dedicated Bundesliga coverage- specially if Marco gets involved, but anyway.
