Some crazy things happened indeed.I watched the match and Turkey beat 4-1 but behind our goal keeper's side there were such a mess,everything from beer cups and water bottles,and when we score a goal,it was even worse,got more serious problem for players.I was not surprised they treated this way,but i was expecting something less.

[fanoff]

I just watched the Turkey-Norway match and it was a big challenge for our players,Norway had a great tactic and i got happy we did achieve to get 1 point by 2-2

[coolasfcuk]

well we couldnt beat fucking albania at home - 0:0 great way to start the spring, guys

[taty994945]

I'm looking forward to PSV vs Liverpool and AC Milan vs Bayern Munich tomorrow. Hopefully they will be exciting games.

[spyretto]

They weren't The only thing I enjoyed was Bayern's last gasp goal. Football has become so boring these days.
Tonight's matches were a bit better...but I prefer tennis to football, lol

Something less wouldn't have happened in Turkey for sure if the same situation occured, wouldn't it, now...
Anyway almost nothing happened, considering what happened the following week domestically, when a fan was beaten to death in the streets by hooligans of the opposing club and that caused such a stir that they were thinking of even stopping the league matches completely. At the end they're going after supporter's clubs in general and are changing the lasw to - hopefully - sort this mess out.

You should thank Norway's keeper...or have you "thanked" him already, hehe...just kidding.

Anyway, Turkey is a pretty good team and will be going to the Euro finals in flying colours, especially after the punishment by Uefa. Greece on the other hand is a very very BAD team but might also be going to the finals, surprisingly enough.
As for Bulgaria I think it's their best ever chance to make it, it's between them and Romania for a place. Just give the ball to Berbatov and he'll do the rest.

Last match of the football season today, the Champions League final...any preditctions?

GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL LLLLLLLLLL

yeah baby!

[coolasfcuk]

2:0 oh well, gotta go pick up my mom now... bye bye liverpool

[spyretto]

2-1 FT, it was almost a sense of deja vu at the end with a very late goal and tense last minutes!

Oh well, Milan are worthy winners for me

[tainted_chick]

KaKa was a disappointment for me .. i expected better from him but go Inzaghi!

[spyretto]

Milan was a disappointment overall...vs a team that hasn't won the title in their country for 18 years.
It was a poor match and UEFA have to do something to boost football which is going down the cliff in my opinion, especially after that awful World Cup last year.

[RowerB]

Milan could not pass for a toffee most of the game. They still beat them easy enough, but it would have been better if they’d given them a real good hammering.

My advice to UEFA would be, reinstate Leeds United to the premiership (where they belong) and give them Liverpool’s place in next season’s Champion’s League. A brilliant footballing spectacle would be assured.

[spyretto]

poor Leeds United...you need to create a team from scratch.

My advice to UEFA would be to get rid of the draw rule...and the penalty
Give the divers a red card instead

Does anyone have a highlights video of the Denmark-Sweden match? It sounds like it was an interesting match, lol.

oh god, that would've been a good game to see... my once favs swe, playing their brothers dk! and from 3:3 to get to that DRAMA at the 89 min... please, the fan wasnt the one that fucked up the game, that Poulsen fucked it up as he clearly punched the swede in the stomach - the danish can only blame themselves... and they came up from 0:3...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=5kl9m7MSZhM this is from youtube, it is so hard to find the actual goals. lol... and i dont understnad what seems like turkish, but i do understand DRAAAAMA, DRAAAAAMA
http://youtube.com/watch?v=pZ2t2YFCuGU - here it is in english - stupidity is the word here, and i agree..
i guess, i have to say that thank god this happend at that game - because if it happened at a game where HOT blooded and tempered nations were playing its wouldve been ugly - look at those politically correct and calm scandinavians, at the end they are all cheering at eachother and the players actually saved the referee- at some other country it couldve been the players attacking the referee lol

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZHJjG60Eb5w - teeny, where are you, what is this idiot saying?

[spyretto]

It looks like Greece will be going to the European championships. Someone up there want it to happen. First Turkey comes from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Norway - with Myhre, Norways keeper letting the ball to literally slip off his hands and into the net not once but TWICE in the last 10 minutes;
after that Turkey being in the driving seat loses 3-2 to...Bosnia/Herzegovina, then Greece beats Moldova with a goal in 94th minute and 30 seconds.
The result of all that is that Greece is leading the group with 5 points difference from the 2nd
Yeah somebody up there wants our crappy team to "defend" the title.
