I had to pull this picture from the old blog (weknowfooty.blogspot.com) because, well quite frankly it's gonna happen again. Now, time for me to wax poetic again [see my post called "The Day that Man U won the Title (NO, NOT THIS WAY) for my first delving into poetry] on what I saw on Tuesday:
I thought I was in a dream.
Who is this glorious team?
They sent Roma back to the Eternal City,
with their egos worn down to the nitty gritty.
7 to 1 was the end result,
shots reigned in like from a catapult.
Rooney, Ronnie, and Smudge all scored,
but it was Carrick who enlightened the Old Trafford horde.
His play was reminiscent of another OT Legend,
was it the ghost of Beckham that did descend?
All I know is Devils be wary,
because next comes the Rosioneri.
The quarterfinals have come and gone, and the only teams left are Chelski, Liverpool, United, and AC Milan. That seems to be a very heavy English bias, and that's because it is. The Prem is by far the most dominant league in the world, and boasts the best team in the world. If anyone doubted Manchester United before Wednesday, there minds should have been changed by the most dominating performance in Manchester United Champions League history. I was a little shocked to see Bayern Munich lie down and get dominated by AC Milan, but then I realized that I am an idiot for picking against Milan in the Champions League with their backs against the wall. Milan are always around in the Champions League, and they will prove a tough test to anyone.
As for my predictions, I went 2-2 for the second legs. That brings my overall total of predictions for the Champions League (from the beginning) to 68-52 and my accuracy rate stays at 57%. Hopefully, I can nail the last bits of the Champions League and get it up to 60%.
Now for previews of the Semi-finals:
Chelsea v. Liverpool: oooooooh, sentilating, This tie is by far, THE MOST ATTRACTIVE MATCH-UP OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. All the marbles are on the line here. Win, go to the final. Lose, go home with your tail between your legs. Mourinho and Benitez hate each other, which makes this even better. This tie is almost impossible to call, as these teams always play each other as if it were the last footy match ever. Who wins? Come back to find out.
Manchester United v. AC Milan: This match-up is also very tempting. As you may or may not know by now, I am somewhat of a Manchester United supporter. Trying to be as impartial as I can be, I still see Man U as the favorites, but anyone who picks against AC Milan in the Champions League is an idiot. Who wins? Again, come back here to for complete coverage of...
THE CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!! (opera voice)
