i hope your team get back to being one of the best doc. it seems they have been rebuilding for the past 4 years. i will be disappointed if you guys arent in brazil.

what other good teams are on the verge of missing out on brazil? i saw serbia was knocked out yesterday.

You can count on us missing out. Aside from Italy qualifying I wouldn't be surprised if second team of the group i.e. one of Denmark, Bulgaria, Armenia and us would miss out maybe even as a worst second team of all groups thus knocked out without even going head to head. And quite deservingly.

And we don't deserve to be there. There is no concept, neither in nomination nor actual play so-so fixed by sheer luck in key situations.

Uruguay as of now would play the 5th team of Asia, which I hope they would beat (or other South American team in their place as well), I can live without Uzbekistan or Jordan.

Wow, Romelu Lukaku absolutely off the hook for Everton right now. Amazing derby v. Liverpool

i was in a media blackout all day yesterday, with game on DVR while i was at work and at basketball. didnt get to see the game until late. i definitely did not have high expectations heading into the game, especially after hazard went out early. but i don't know why anyone should be surprised. this team has made a living out of crazy CL comebacks the last few years.

how dare anyone play anti-football vs barca and win. the nerve of some of these teams for not allowing messi and co to pass the ball into the goal.

but, props must be given to xavi who completed 100 passes and completed all of them.

Atletico will steamroll over Chelski

nobody parks a bus like chelsea :-?

sad to see that cech will miss the rest of the season, terry also probably out the rest of the season.

Fred Williamson · Post #1116 » by **Fred Williamson** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 8:10 pm

This Pep+Bayern thing is a huge fail. Completely uninspired, 0 threat for Real. Real is just lurking, waiting and then successfully go for the counter attack. This could be a 3-0 now

Fred Williamson · Post #1117 » by **Fred Williamson** » Wed Apr 23, 2014 8:14 pm

13 corners
88% ball possession
500 passes

0 goals

pep took all the fun out of that bayern team. his teams are so boring to watch, despite being loaded with the greatest players of the past decade. i hope real goes thru, just to spite that style. story lines between real vs mourinho or the all madrid final would be cool.

Fixed.

ouch. i could see how you would be happy about JT being out, but cech is pure class.

no worries, from what i am reading, chelsea will focus on the 2nd leg of the atletico game which is next wednesday. chelsea will not be starting their strongest team vs liverpool on sunday. just win that game and the league title is all yours. - hazard, cech and terry all out due to injuries. ramires, luiz, willian and others probably rested for wednesday. you'll definitely see matic, salah, mikel and lampard since they cant play on wednesday.
