If the USSR couldn't win the World Cup, Russia certainly hasn't chance. Particularly as they are banned from international events at the moment.

So the 8 group winners are: Six from Europe and two from Brazil. Predictable?

I think City Guy means he had an "all time great name", not he was an "all time great player".

The crowd seems small and not very animated. Are the Matildas not popular in Perth?

You looked like David Cassidy?!

I never saw anyone in the 70s dressed like that. Except maybe Don Dunstan.

It reminds me of the videos of cats with cameras attached to their collars.

River Plate vs Monterrey the worse game i have seen so far- the endless petty fouling was right up to A League standard.

Yes, good refereeing. Fairly disciplined performance by Boca- none of the wild tackling they did against Benifica- but 2-1 to Bayern.

Tunnicliffe was fairly slow- he probably needed extra training.

Boca vs Bayern is going to be an extravaganza of bitching and whingeing,

I'm sick of the "this league is better than that league" conversations.

Not sure about UK, but Seattle could easily beat most A League clubs.

What great defending by Botafogo! There is much criticism of this tournament, but that was a helluva match, both sides really wanted to win it.

No, we need this thread so that we can keep laughing at the silly game and its retarded, brainwashed fans.
