I catch the game 12 minutes in and what a smother packing tackle from  

Kevin Davies on Song. After 40 "tap-outs" from my masseuse, i am  

floating.  Sturridge is the man to keep an eye on from Bolton. You'll  

see why. Taylor of Bolton again with a "Super Smash Brothers" tackle.  

Yellow card.

After a minute of silence for Danny F, the whistle blows. Will be
breathless and screaming for at least the first 45 minutes. Wth is
this ESPNSTAR survey bs at the bottom of the screen.

I'm getting bored 3 minutes in. A sense of pessimism has been the
habit. I think WE Arsenal fans are tired. Eboue's run had me screaming
all of a sudden. 4 minutes.

Like the first leg, this game was thrilling from end to end. Chelsea was looking for the win as they gambled with Fernando Torres starting over the lethal Didier Drogba. The game turned exciting late when Chelsea scored an equalizer and just needed one more goal to advance to the semi final, but they were caught with their pants down as Manchester United was back in the lead a minute after.

I decided not to do a analysis on the first leg of this matchup because it was completely a one sided affair, and it seems hard to write an analysis that is full of praises at one team.

The second game was much closer compared to the first leg as Shakhtar pressured Barcelona’s defense. It was a gutsy performance by the Ukrainian side but alas, in the end, it was still a Barcelona victory

* If you don’t know what is the Cucchiaio, Totti’s signature move, it is basically a dipping lob shot.

*here is a video for you



Match Analysis:

As I predicted, this match was the most competitive among all the quarter final matches. Both of these team are evenly matched from the defense to the offense, and usually a bad performance from 1 player is enough to separate both sides. And unfortunately this was the case, Bosingwa played an average game but he was caught sleeping in one moment and that led to the goal for the Red Devils. One thing that caught my eye is that the Red Devils were superior in the midfield as the ageless Ryan Giggs and Carrick pick apart the Chelsea Midfield with their slick passing and smart runs which was rewarded with the lone goal of the game, a nice lob pass to Giggs by Carrick and Giggs finding an open Rooney for the goal. And once again, Wayne Rooney proved again that (in my opinion) he is the best striker around, as he troubled the Chelsea defense with his size and strength and also his ability to find open teammates.

This game was done after the 15th minute, as Tottenham were only able to produce 1 good chance after Peter Crouch was sent  off. As expected, Real Madrid was too much for Harry Redknapp’s boys as they were toy around by the Los Blancos. The 2nd half was like seeing an amateur team against a professional team as Tottenham did nothing offensively but defend to no avail as they conceded 4 goals.

I was in awe when I was watching this match, Schalke dominated the second half by pushing the ball on the flanks with no support from Inter’s attacking midfielders, it was left to Julio Cesar and his Defense to stop Schalke’s attack, which by the way, resulted to one of the worst defensive performance this season. Inter’s defense was unorganized, slow and was simply overpowered by the small Schalke’s offense. Raul turned back time and channeled his prime form, and Edu, the former Suwon Bluewing, was the best player in the game with 2 nice goals to his credit.

*sorry for the late post again, There were no Internet the whole weekend at my place, so I wasn’t able to watch any Serie A matches and I will not be able to create an analysis of the Milan Derby, but fear not, champion’s league is around the corner, I’ll try my best again to watch and analyze it and hopes that the internet doesn’t fuck with me
