amacpher Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Of course the biggest rivalry in all of sports adds another page this Saturday at 3:30 (ESPN & GolTV), so I thought I'd start a thread on it. Ronaldinho is definitely out of this match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Biggest rivalry in all of sports? Hmm. I don't think many people will have much to say about this match as it will not be seen in Canada, except for those few people who steal those channels. But, hey, Lazio vs. Juventus is on Telelatino at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that should be a good game too (I'll watch it at 5:30 ). I couldn't believe that Siena-Lazio game last week! Both teams were attacking like there was no tomorrow! Siena was just playing unbelievably good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jeffery S. Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 From the inside, we are damn depressed here. The Malaga 5-1 loss did not help. Perhaps more down are the fools that went for this new president Laporta, the guy who conned everyone on the Beckham signing, got the votes he needed, and now runs the show. A slick young yuppy, but not clear he understands football. And lord knows we need someone who does. As for the game itself, they are usually very intense, but not that great. A much better classic match-up is Barça-Atletico Madrid, more goals and better play. Who knows why. Madrid beat Barça in Champions semis a few years back at Camp Nou, and once in a SuperCup in the mid-90s. But in league play they have not only not won in 20 years, they have only led matches a total of 20 minutes in the last 20 league games. So the 10 point spread in the league will likely even out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Ronaldo is looking like the best striker in the World again. Then there's Beckham - at this moment I can't think of a midfielder anywhere playing better than him. Prediction: Barca 1, Madrid 3 (but I wouldn't be surprised if it finished 1-6). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
