OT: AS Roma Versus Manchester United Champions League Play Airing Right Now On ESPN 2 - Page 2 - Message Board Basketball Forum

For being an Italian team, I was very surprised to see how much Roma attacked. It was pretty fun to watch.

I think ManU is still in good position. All they need is 1-0 at Old Trafford. I also think Chelsea has it in them to score a goal in Valencia. I don't want to see a 3 team English Semifinal, so I hope either United or Chelsea lose.

at Scholes.

I don't know if they can shut Roma out.

I hate 1-0 games in the second leg where you're on the edge of your seat every time the opposing team has the ball inside your end.

Roma actually plays an attacking football. They've been the most attractive Italian team for years now with Inter second.

Roma fans are idiots. I always liked them and I thought Lazio fans were bad but I just heard the news that many ManUtd fans got stabbed, one guy got a knife in his throat, he is in serious condition in hospital. And the italian police...well, I posted a vid.
Roma fans also made the monkey sound to Saha when he entered the pitch.

Italy is a disgrace.

Italy is a disgrace.

When it comes to racism, Spain is just as bad.

As for what happened in the crowd, holy ****. That's awful. I hope something really bad happens to that cop.

Fans in the USA don't understand how extreme it can get in Europe.

Just wanted to say that Man United should've lost that game by at least 3 goals. Their defense was pathetic. Roma laid back for some reason after going up 1-0 and let Man U back in it. They got the goal back but it's going to be difficult to come out of the next match with a draw as they lost one of their main playmakers.(Perrotta)

Next week's match should be fun though.

And thank goodness for it.

Pizzaro? Anyway, I'm not worried Manchester will come on top and win the CL.

I know what you mean. I prefer a US style. I mean, it's sports. It's supposed to be entertainment after all.

Many people in Europe have died just for for supporting their team. Many get beat up all the team. Many will never recover again. How nuts is that?

Really, fans in Europe do get a bit carried away and the sad thing is that most players once they get fame and money start considering those fans as losers....and those fans would do everything for the team lol.

Insane. Glad I'm not like that although I also got beat up once for supporting the wrong team.

United will still advance. As dak said, Roma should have scored at least 3 especially with the Scholes sending off.

Not-so-Sidenote: Did anyone see David Villa's goal this morning? Wow. Just wow.

Not even close this year. Some United fans are starting to doubt him.

I think he's a great player and will bounce back but this definitely wasn't his year despite United playing so well. Even he will tell you that.

The_Masterplan · 04-04-2007, 11:54 PM

nah rooney is top 10 but thats it.

I didnt watch the game because i was at the dallas cup watchign a super group U19 game at pizza hut park. Sao paola vs. shamrock (some irish team) and sao paolo was up 5-1 when i left.

Anyways, Man utd is dominant and will probably come back and take it

baseketball4life · 04-05-2007, 01:35 AM

i dont care what u say if i had to take one player i the world on my team it would be rooney. hes nasty
