nailed em again, nice job...i got suckered in by Zenit as well, looks like a change in attitude at the top helped Real Madrid after all, let's see if they can carry anything over to the match against Barca -- what a doofus their former coach was, guaranteeing a loss against their archrivals, he left the ownership with no option but to can him...thanks for your picks
I'm glad you made some money too. I'm guessing you're a Real fan. I have to disagree on firing of Schuster though. He was working with injuries to number of key players and subs. I think he did best he could with what he had. Today's result might indicate that Ramos has turn the tide for Real but I doubt it. He was disastrous at Tottenham and Real is still missing majority of their key players. I think Barcelona is playing better than any team in Europe right now. They just seem to love playing for each other. I think Real will have very hard time containing Eto'o and Messi. 3-0 Barca imo. Barcelona AH and 1x2 for me this weekend.
GL this weekend.
nah, to be completely honest I am a US American who has learned to love soccer and I'm following it relatively closely for the first time in my life. I don't like Real any more than any other Spanish team (haven't followed that league as much as the EPL and Champion's league) and its clear from your post that your knowledge of them is far superior to mine. As a sports fan in general, I simply find the quote he gave indicating that his team had no chance against their archrivals deplorable and fully understand its consequences. Im sure there are circumstances in which such a quote could be made correctly (after all, they probably do not have a chance lol), but as the spokesman for your team and fans you can't say that kind of thing without expecting a violent reaction. Agree with your thoughts on Barca -- from my humble perspective they are playing the beautiful game beautifully and are scoring almost at will, what more can you ask? Thanks again for your picks and insight, they are always appreciated...
P.S. Messi is the shit =)
