GO ROSENBORG!!!

and Bremen!!

[demens]

Massimo Buzzaka, should star in Hostel 3.

I was just about to post that this Bremen-Genoa game won't finish with 22 players...

3:0 by Pizarro as I write this. Nice goal.

that goal was sick...the pass at least.

Hoped for better for Sampdoria but the red card / penalty kick killed them.
Guberti and Poli should have started for Samp. Cassano had a bad game, but Pazzini is pure class. Whoever watched this game can see that he (Pazzini) is the reason (with some help from Cassano) that Sampdoria finished 4th place last year over Juve and just 3 pts behind milan.

[Foye]

That 3:1 was unnecessary as hell

Kinda cool that Braga beat Sevilla 1:0. I still think Sevilla will advance, though.

[magik9113]

Pazzini not letting Samp go out without a fight.... 2-0 still in the 63rd min

[magik9113]

Rosenburg saves Bremen! this tie has been very enjoyable....now overtime

[Sleepy]

Pizzaro is one clutch

[magik9113]

did not believe Samp would be able to hold on through overtime....great effort, should not have lost so badly first leg. Pazzini should come to Juve now.....

[EdMar_Davis]

wow what a game. Bremen played so bad in the first half, but they continued to fight and got the result. Marin was amazing and Frings did a wonderful job controlling the middle. That acting job by one of the samp defenders was just pathatic, falls down and grabs his eyes when noone touched him. Overall very happy for Bremen.

[treiz]

Damn, can't believe Sevilla are out, well done to Braga though.

[J.Kim]

I wasn't paying attention 100% but from what I saw, Sampdoria were a bunch of floppers and time wasters to the degree that I don't think I've seen before. I mean literally every time I glanced at the screen there was a man down looking like he had his eye gouged out. But I guess I didn't watch the entire game end-on-end so so someone may call me out on it.

[diogo_pt]

What a victory for Braga. Their fans are going crazy with the 2nd place in the league and now Champions League group stage. Their most expensive player cost them 0,35M€

[Slava]

lol Braga used to be the club United sent their youngsters to get playing time.

lol Braga used to be the club United sent their youngsters to get playing time.

That's not true. Only happened once - last year, Man Utd sent Rodrigo Possebon, and he just played one official game.

[Slava]

I'm pretty sure we sent 3-4 players there since 2002. Some have been moved on without coming abck to United but Braga is a good acquittance to United.

No you are right, the commentator even called it cheating.

[Foye]

Turned in only a few times in the first half and I was like WTF 2:0 after 15 minutes?

Watched the last 20 minutes in regular time and thought that Genua will pay the price for all their flopping and playing for time. I was kinda sure even after the 3:0 that Bremen would still get their chance to score and they did. And Pizarro is just a beast. One of the best strikers here in Germany.
Pazzini's 2nd goal was sick.

Also huge props to Braga for taking out Sevilla. Well done.

[demens]

Pazzini 2ng goal was amazing. Like the commentator said, it was already passed the keeper by the time he saw it. Perfect strike, you cant catch it any better then he did.
