Reaction to Champs League Quarterfinal 1st Legs


Yo Scholes, you have been known for your notoriously late and ugly tackles ever since the beginning of your career, but this was ridiculous. By now you should know how to keep your cool, and you obviously don't. You put your team in an abhorrent position, but luckily for you, a teammate put your team in a relatively good postion for the return leg.

The 1st legs of the quarterfinals of the Champions league were very interesting. I went 3-1 on predictions to bring my overall total to 66-50 and my accuracy rate up 1% from 56% to 57%. Now for some reaction for each team:

Bayern: You showed that famous German resolve. Van Buyten was at the right place at the right time for both of Bayern's goals. Bayern are favorites to advance out of this tie.

AC Milan: You got a penalty kick goal inside the last 10 minutes that you didn't deserve, and you still managed not to win the game. Dida looked like the Dida of old, nervous and indecisive, and without Ronaldo due to Champions League restrictions, AC Milan better be ready for the tie in Munich.

Liverpool: Welcome to the semifinals. This team is on fire, so watch out world, Liverpool could be on their way to Athens.

PSV: Done for , enough said. NEXT!!

Chelsea: Not in a favorable position to advance due to the away goal by Valencia. They better come to play at the Mestalla.

Valencia: Can put away Chelsea with a nil-nil draw at home, (The Mestalla is one of the best home field advantages in the world.) therefore, they are Favorites to advance

Roma: They played United just right, but they let Rooney grab the crucial away goal. I think that will be the crucial element in this series.

Man Utd: Because of Rooney's away goal, I think that they are still favorite to advance. They are going to have to play a perfect game at home, but I think they can do it.

Come back here before the next legs for complete pre and post game coverage.
