Incidentally, I've got the Manchester Utd - Roma game on the TV, the MLB.tv broadcast windowed on my computer, the ESPN gamecast of Valencia - Chelsea to the right of it, and the Valencia website's text commentary above that. Confusing stuff.

 

With the exception of the Valencia website commentary, I have the exact same thing going right now.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world. He's set up 3 of those goals. Man U just look ridiculous, and the Roma backline look drunk.

I still don't like him though.

I still don't like him though.

 

I do, oddly enough. I like the fact that he has an attitude problem, and that he then goes out and shows that he's playing at a completely different level.

I'm still bitter from Holland's exit in the last WC.

Even though I know how good of a player he is, he still amazes me every single time he steps onto the field. He's going to win multiple soccer POY awards in his career. The only thing I don't like is his diving. I don't have a problem with his attitude at all, just the diving. It is just so much fun to watch him play because of how talented he is with the ball at his foot.

...and still they go on.

 

And to think, just yesterday I was watching my team splutter to a 0-2 home defeat against Blackpool.

[soccer10k]

5-0 Man U. This has to be one of the biggest defeats ever this late in the Champions League.

[Jon]

Can I watch the Cubs game for 5 minutes without missing a goal?

[Marco4]

:x - Chelsea equalise.

[soccer10k]

Shevchenko ties it up for Chelsea. If it ended this way they would go to extra time.

[Marco4]

Woof! That was some goal from Carrick. So Jon, maybe just about five minutes, yes. Edited April 10, 2007 by Marco4

[Jon]

6-0. Unbelievable.

[soccer10k]

6-0. 6-0 Man U. Unbelievable. What a shot by Carrick.

 

Oh, and in the other game, I'm gonna go ahead and predict a game winning goal by Didier Drogba to send Chelsea on to the semis. It can't happen any other way for Chelsea.

[Marco4]

That was an amazing goal by de Rossi. Completely muted, though, as you'd expect.

[shnsajax]

Its good to see Ole Gunnar still playing. Easily my favorite ManU player ever.

And he still looks like he's 17.

De Rossi is a guy that I really don't like. I'll never forgive the elbow he gave Brian McBride in the World Cup.

 

EDIT: Though that was a really nice goal.

Rightly so; McBride's probably still seeing stars from it.

He doesn't run like it anymore.

[Marco4]

And its seven! Can't they show the Valencia - Chelsea game now?!

[soccer10k]

7-1 Man U.

[soccer10k]

Mexes is lucky he didn't get a red card for that one. That was a very late and blantant kick.

[shnsajax]

I could understand this if this was still the group stage, but not in the freakin quarterfinals.
