I'm going to be there as well. Probably not in the AO section this time. I think I'm taking my Mom, my sister *and* my wife. :D

Liverpool dominating the first 25 minutes of the game. Could easily have another goal or two if not for Casillas. Torres is dominating Real's defense right now.

[reggiemiller rules]

A very harsh handball call in the box on Real, but I will take it. This tie should be over.

I'm watching the game on Dutch TV, and they're rooting for Real (the number of Dutchmen in their squad may have something to do with it :wink: ). The commentary is quite funny at times.

Bayern are just being douches at this point.

 

7-1, 12-1 on aggregate.

damn liverpool is good on their european nights. it's quite remarkable how they are so strong on tuesday and wednesday night but can't seem to consistently do that on saturday and sunday afternoons.

 

chelsea was kind of meh today, but they're went to Torino and played well in a hostile environment. i'm hoping for a good draw in the next round and hopefully get back into good form with essien's return.

I really liked how they came out and didn't just look to attack but really took it to Real. So many teams will resort to at least a semi-defensive approach but Liverpool came out looking to get the first goal and seal up the win.

Real had no chance against Torres pace, his chance in the 4th minute was great. Liverpool didn't let up for even one minute the entire match.

I am kind of computer stupid, is there anyone that can help me out and resize this pic so that I can put it as my sig.

Thanks for the help Wolf.

Star midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme quit the Argentina team on Tuesday, saying he and coach Diego Maradona did not get along.

[wolf stansson]

Thanks for the help Wolf.

No prob.

Deuce on the board for Fulham today.

[shnsajax]

Arsenal and Roma are heading to extra time. Game cast makes it seem like Toure missed a header in the 92 minute after van Persie had a shot deflected just wide.

[Guest]

Man U goes through to make it three English teams in the final eight with Arsenal going to extra time against Roma. Interestingly enough, if Arsenal wins, all three Italian teams will be gone.

 

Barcelona and Porto also advanced.

[Mark Priors Calves]

god the english clubs are so dominant right now.

[Guest]

Four English teams in the quarterfinals.

I was going to be pissed if Arsenal was the one that didn't make it through. Time to hope for a good draw now.

 

I did find it funny that Liverpool featured 4 Spanish players yesterday where Real only featured 3.

well if you're going to put it that way Man U beat an argentine team today

[USSoccer]

I thought Inter were the better side in the 1st half, but Man U are just very good. Ibra is getting killed in the press, but I thought he was more unlucky than anything.

 

I mean, 6 inches on 2 shots difference and Inter are through.

 

Clint played out of his mind for Fulham today. Too bad they lost, because that was his best performance I've seen in England.
