Title: Champions League - Inter v. Liverpool [SPOILERS]
Post by: Uisce Beatha on March 11, 2008, 12:42:50 PM
No need to thank me.  I'll keep you all updated out of the goodness of my heart.   [sm_thankyou]

Pool in a great spot to advance.  They need do no worse than lose by one.  They can lose by two if they score at least one themselves.

Strong side fielded.  Consistent with previous weeks too.  Looks like Rafa is learning (or maybe this is what he's been saving them for - they are in good form of late.)

Splitting time between Gamecast and the TV.  Unfortunately, work beckons so mostly Gamecast. 

Stroh, if you want I can PM you directly with play-by-play.  Let me know.

All Inter so far.  Liverpool need to settle.  They're giving away tons of dangerous free kicks.

Sweet.  I appreciate the thought.

Although, I've got it up on MSN, so I may be able to keep up.

I'm just thinking Roberto Mancini wants perfection from his Inter Milan team as they bid to overturn a 2-0 deficit in the Champions League against Liverpool.

Those two late goals at Anfield three weeks ago ended Inter's drought and they seemed on course to pick up a valuable goalless draw despite playing an hour with only 10 men after losing Marco Materazzi to a red card.

Nil-nil at half.  Liverpool playing solid in back and fairly sloppy elsewhere.  Reina with a nice save there toward the end of the half.

Reds playing for the draw and hoping to poach a goal it seems.  Not sure I agree with that.  If they score one they force Inter into scoring four.  Seems like that's the right play but what do I know.

Doh!!! Inter down to ten men again.  Second yellow on Burdisso. 

Didn't see it so no opinion but it sure looks good for Liverpool at this point.

That was a thing of beauty.  Best striker in England without a doubt.  (Sorry hobbit/Adebayor.)

If this is the best team in Italy then it doesn't say much about Serie A.

Yikes.  Ten yellows (two for a red).  Still 3' left to go too.

That's it.  1-0 (3-0 agg.). 

Four English teams in the quarterfinals.  One Italian.  :redcard:

No need to be sorry, as you may recall - I grabbed him in the fantasy league right out of the gate.  Liverpool struggled and Rafa was freaking rotating, so I had to sell him.  So, I'd still have him if Rafa wasn't such an arse.

Yeah - and Gunners beat AC Milan in their house too.  Then turn around and can't beat freaking Wigan back in the EPL  [sm_devil] :sad3:.  The Serie A must be in shambles.

Yeah, that was worse than Barnsley's tear into the Premiership.  Nobody really gives a *feces*e about the F.A. Cup but Arsenal hurt themselves in the league with that.
