Well you were talking about football being cruel and all that. Obviously my sympathy or lack thereof isn't a factor in the trials and travails European football. I was just making the point that they had favourable group in the CL but they blew it. I don't know anything about their performance against Olympiakos but it seems similar to last night from your short analysis. Maybe that's their major flaw, just not being able to finish teams off.Quote:

Maybe not.
Shame, worth the gamble I suppose.
My son hates Gareth Bale. He calls him Gareth Fail. Anyway, he relished that miss.
I was just about to post that Real are the only team who look like scoring!
And that's why Casillas should never start for Ireland.
Does Coentrao ever do anything other than pick fights with people? I don't think I've ever seen such a narky player.
This is cracking stuff now.
Leave off , he's my favourite left back.Quote:

Extra time, I'll go for Atletico scoring first and holding out.
Madrid fans will be real happy.
Just as predicted, AM out on their feet and RM finishing strong.
Superb final.
With all that match practice Casillas got in La Liga, he really should have done better.Quote:

They have already achieved the "impossible" and were an inch away from the European cup. Yes i suppose they did fall short by an inch of achieving one of the most magnificent seasons ever, in the history of european football
Oops. But totally right with the last post.Quote:

I don't think I've ever seen a player rescue so many poor performances by scoring a massive goal. Fair play to him, he should be able to kick on further next season with less pressure/expectation.Quote:
