Favourite Football Team? (Soccer)

This side with a renewed fractured team spirit, revival of players routinely referred to as Chelsea's "old guard" and production of two clear, and more importantly successful, strategies against Barcelona and Bayern has resulted in of course good fortune that was involved but it invariably is allowing for Chelsea the prize handed out for victory, not artistic merit.

However all Spurs Fans (Tottenham Hotspur) will be gutted - finishing in 4th - looking to qualify for CL place next season and then Chelsea win - dump them out in to the Europa....

i guess di matteo do his homework.

The better team didn't win. Chelsea just did what they did against Barcelona. Its what they would do against Juventus as well. Whenever Chelsea is up against foreign opponent's that play possession based football they basically put everybody minus Drogba and Torres at the back and capitalize on counterattacks while attempting to stop everything the possession dominant team throws at them. Munich had ample chances to beat Chelsea. This year's CL was BS anyways. I can't wait until next season when I get to see Juventus in the CL

[D-Slayer]

you can look forward to Juve in the CL like many other teams do - e.g. Paris St Germain, Man City, Brussia Dortmund etc but for a team which lost to a resurgent Napoli side - i doubt Juve will progress much - more predigree powerful rapid and experienced sides will make it further next time -

Personally im just looking forward to seeing Ajax, Montpellier and Olympiakos in next seasons CL -

and it would be nice to see atleast 1 scottish club make it beyond the grp stages / qualification for CL grp stages this season

[BLS-EOTB <3]

Uhmm what? Resurgent Napoli side? They have Cavani, Lavezzi and Hamsik all lined up. If anything we were resurgent since our bad finishes the two prior seasons. Juve can easily take out all the names you listed minus Man City but if getting kicked out in the Europa league by Lisbon is any indication then if I were Juve I wouldn't be worried.

[D-Slayer]

as far as Juventus are concerned im just hoping the Juventus vs Notts County friendly part 2 can take place

whether or not Juve will play MCFC / anyone else / win / lose or dependening on how far they go n the cup remains to be seen

[Flit]

remember the incident that juve has?

[BLS-EOTB <3]

That incident was actually proven to be non existent. Go watch the football they played this season. They played attractive, flowing, possession based football. Their was no match fixing involved. And for your bad use of the English language, Juve aren't "Possessive" of the incident as your statement represents. It will still stand that Juventus are one of 3 teams to ever win or come close to 30 league titles (Glasgow and Madrid have eclipsed that) and are one of the most successful clubs in the history of football.

Philly Union for MLS
I kind of like Arsenal, but Im not really big on UEFA.
Nationally, I support the African teams. I was really big on Ghana during the Cup, so naturally I hate Suarez/Uruguay with a fiery passion. I backed Holland in the Final.
For the Euro, Im backing the Slavic countries (especially Ukraine and Russia, but not Poland), Holland, and maybe Germany. Ooh Ireland is in it. Id like to see them do well. They shouldve been in the Cup.
I used to support France, but after that Henry thing, I kind lop them in with Spain, Portugal, and Italy as teams I dont like. Altho Ill take France over any of them.

Italy is going to win this time

[BLS-EOTB <3]

I hope so! We have a lot of youth coming out of the ranks and if we win this it puts us on the map and we can mix youth and experience together in the Confederations Cup coming up next year.
