lol I reply like a week later.

USA won 2 - 0

I dont want to talk about this, and I hope we can bury this x.x

the first goal was reasonable, but the second goal was pure ****. The ball bounced of the referee and the ball landed on the feet of a US player. Mexico who was mostly attacking, were "counter-attacked" and scored on. I was furious at how the referee made the best pass of the game...pure ****.

BAH!!!!!!

**** like that always happens

the whole italian fiasco just highlights the depths these types of fans will sink to. its not bad to have a fair bit of passion, but to KILL someone just cause your ****** that your team lost is way over the top. im not surprised they kicked everyone out, im only surprised it wasnt a longer spell, or the fact that FIFA hasnt punished them in some way, like stripping the national team of a home crowd or sanctioning them from playing european football, or in any case, BOOT the team who cant control their own home fans.

english hooligans will,yes, destroy ****, but invariably its because theyre drunk, they dont generally have much control once the amber flows. but italian fans can be sobre and still do the same damage as what the english can do.

champions league resumes with 2nd round games coming up, should be some absolute belters!

inter V valenica has to be billed as match of the round, with both teams boasting powerful strike forces colliding. barca v liver, real v bayern, man u v lille(already a bit of a grudge match due to some fireworks being lit by lilles striker odemwingie),psv v arsenal,roma v lyon and porto v chel

you bill inter vs. valencia match of the round? if the match of the round ain't barca vs l'pool, it's real vs. bayern...

but yeah...the team whose fans killed the cop has been banned from playin on home ground for at least the remainder of the season, and they got fined big time

You forgot Milan v. Celtic >.>

too bad Ronaldo can't play for Milan in the champions due to already playing with Real in it

they won't need ronaldo to win

aside from the fact he's past his prime, celtic aren't strong enough to beat milan through two games

let's talk about the A legue grand final for a miunute shall we?

THE second A-League Grand Final will be known as the Archie Thompson show. The Melbourne Victory striker completed an incredible five-goal performance to win the Joe Marston medal and the plaudits of 55,436 fans packed into the Telstra Dome.He came off to a standing ovation in the 89th minute and his replacement Kristian Sarkies rounded off the stunning evening with a swerving shot.

Thompson predicted Victory would win the league after round one when Victory scored a two-nil win over Adelaide and he fulfilled his dream.

People will talk about this match for years as the greatest advertisement for the world game since the Socceroos qualified for the World Cup.

Adelaide brought in Greg Owens to replace the suspended Matthew Kemp, with suspended coach John Kosmina confined to the stand.

Ernie Merrick fielded combative Scottish midfielder Grant Brebner, who seemed to have fully recovered from his muscle injury.

Victory opened with an astonishing first half.

Skipper Kevin Muscat began with a fierce challenge on Diego which led to the Brazilian limping off temporarily.

Daniel Allsopp's charge down the right was ended by a tackle on the edge of the box and Adrian Caceres driven free kick flew behind off the head of Fernando.

Victory got the break through the game needed in 20 minutes when a quick break through the middle saw Brazilian Fred send a delicious through pass to Archie Thompson.

The striker was faced by the onrushing keeper Daniel Beltrame, but he was able to touch the ball delicately with the side of his foot in off the right hand upright.

The lead was doubled in twenty minutes when Allsopp went careening down the right and laid the ball off to the marauding Fred.

The Brazilian delivered another precise pass into the goal area where the predatory Thompson pounced for his second goal.

Thompson is a big game player and this proved it.

Adelaide received a body blow when skipper Ross Aloisi was sent off for his second bookable offence when he ran through Grant Brebner.

If further indication were needed it came when Muscat dissected the Adelaide defence in 37 minutes, and found Thompson who rounded the last defender to complete his hat-trick.

At half time Adelaide removed Greg Owens who had experienced a torrid time at left back, replacing him with Aaron Goulding.

Thompson was sent clear by a quick Muscat free kick but hit the bar with his shot, then he skinned Michael Valkanis to set up Allsopp whose shot was blocked by Beltrame.

Fred thumped the rebound against the woodwork once again.

In 56 minutes Simon Storey won the ball deep in defence and it was transferred forward rapidly.

Thompson started his run early and was clearly offside when the ball was played in to him, but he was allowed to go on and round Beltrame for his fourth goal.

Valkanis was booked for trying to draw the referee's attention to the replay on the big screen.

It was not Adelaide's day after Bruce Djite and teenager Nathan Burns combined to get the ball into the Victory net, the assistant referee's flag at the other end resulted in the goal being disallowed.

The Archie Thompson show rolled on when substitute James Robinson and Fred laid the ball on a plate for the striker to score his fifth goal in 72 minutes.

Thereafter, Victory toyed with its devastated opponent until Thompson came off for Sarkies who brought the curtain down with the sixth goal.

Wild celebrations ensued when the final whistle was blown signalling Victory's first A-League premiership.

i got that form here: http://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/article/2007/02/19/1505_news.html
thats what im talking about! (Melbourne Victory) 6-0 (Adelaide United) in a grand final, and 5 goals to Archie Thompson!!! Yes one of them was kinda unfair, but that still leaves 5 fair goals to Adelaides how many?

lol

adelaide were so pitiful, whinging about anything and everything, while not conceding that they were just plain ****

what a crappy final, the game was over before half time, at least last years final was more exciting, and more about 2 teams fighting for the title rather than a team giving a training session. its a GRAND FINAL, where was the pride!

back to european league, barca and liverpool i reckon is way too overhyped as a game, barca continue to lack that clinical edge that they had last year, and liverpool...sit 3rd in the premier league like 15 points behind man u.

by billing valencia and inter as match of the round, i was only pointing to their current form, like inter are unbeaten in like 20 games so far and valencia have really kicked into gear again since the first round was wrapped up. real and bayern are plain going ****, barely scoring goals, and both sit distant 3rd in their respective leagues atm.

i hope, whatever happens, that man u can scrape through the first leg with a draw or a win, it would make our job a helluva lot easier when the 2nd leg is played at OT.
