I'm not surprised people are using the "dive! dive!" thing again, it seems everyone likes to use it now :rolleyes:

 

Yeah, because everyone is doing it today and it's a shame! That's what I like about the Premier League. No one would risk to do a dive there (except Ronaldo :rolleyes:).

Unfortunately, he isn't the only one. There are countless incidents every week, involving the likes of Didier Dropba!!:rolleyes:

:lol: :D

I like watching proper football (ie: not English football) so I can put up if a there is an odd dive here and there.

 

Defensive football is a bigger problem than diving.

Milan is loosing:angry:

^^fuck don't remind me! but they have top spot assured anyways

God, what a crazy game in Hamburg.

 

After Moscow scored the 2:1 there was a substitution of Hamburg and Atouba had to leave the field. He was very weak during the whole match so the supporters bood him out. Then he showed his middle finger to his own fans and did some other unfair gestures. Suddenly the referee showed him the red card although he wasn't on the pitch anymore. :D

 

Hamburg finally won 3:2 by goals of Van der Vaart (who is banned for 4 weeks in the Bundesliga) and Sanogo, but Moscow's goalkeeper nearly scored a third goal for Moscow at injury-time. :laugh3:

 

Man Utd could draw Barca or Madrid now they topped their group. Either would be a great game, I hope one of them happens (as neutral).

Im just upset basically about Werder's draw in the whole thing. They are the strongest they have been in a long time. Really had a shot at making through the round of 16 and, depending on who they played, past that, and then they draw Chelsea and Barca. The league champs, and the guys who are picked to be the league champs. YAY!!:angry: that really stunk. I was just hoping that i would be able to wake up today and see the paper in big font saying "BREMEN STUN BARCA" We really gave it a shot. If we hadnt let Barca tie that first game against us, it would have been a different story. But whatever, no sense complaining since the draw is completely random. It just sucks that we were drawn into the hardest group. Any other and we would have gone through no problem

Results from today's Champions League first knockout round draw:

Platini wins Uefa presidency

 

Michel Platini has been elected Uefa's new president after beating previous incumbent Lennart Johansson in a vote in Dusseldorf.

Johansson had spent 17 years in the post, but will now pass control over to French footballing legend Platini.

 

The former Juventus star won the election at Uefa's Congress by 27 votes to 23 to deny Johansson a fifth term in office.

Among Platini's election pledges was a promise to cut the maximum number of places in the UEFA Champions League for one country to three.

He had also been advocating the introduction of two extra assistant referees to aid match officials, rather than resort to the use of video technology.

During a wonderful playing career, Platini won virtually all the game's major honours, with only a World Cup title eluding his grasp.

Platini did play in three World Cup finals tournaments, but his finest hour was in captaining France to the 1984 European Championship title on home soil, when he was the competition's top scorer.

At club level, he was a huge success at St Etienne and Italian giants Juventus, and was named European Footballer of the Year three times in a row in the mid-1980s.

He retired from playing in 1987 and took over as France's national team coach a year later before stepping down in 1992 after the European Championship in Sweden.

Since then, he has played a prominent role in the organisational side of the game, and was a key figure in France staging the 1998 World Cup.

Meanwhile, West Ham United chairman Eggert Magnusson has lost his place on Uefa's executive committee following his decision to stand down as president of the Icelandic Football Association.

Reduce the numbers down to 3 per country, that is wrong.

Looks like AC Milan (who shouldn't even be in the cup) vs. Celtic will either be placed behind closed doors or in Newcastle.

COME ON LYON
