OH GOD....Ferrari coming on....

**sinoy1** · 19-02-2008, 09:20 PM

Juan is injured...thank you Sergio Ramos....FOr now he has increased Madrid's chances of scoring by 1235927358%

**sinoy1** · 19-02-2008, 09:22 PM

Clear elbow from Diarra...no call but Perrotta gets a yellow for putting a finger on the face of gago on a 50-50 ball?inconsistent once more.

**sinoy1** · 19-02-2008, 09:23 PM

Drenthe and Baptista in Diarra and Robben off.

**sinoy1** · 19-02-2008, 09:30 PM

WTF....kinda dive did Drenthe do?

!

**sinoy1** · 19-02-2008, 09:34 PM

How is this ref not calling these fouls?Their so obvious?......

**sinoy1** · 19-02-2008, 09:34 PM

OH sure give Casetti a card but not Guti.

**sinoy1** · 19-02-2008, 09:37 PM

ref calls it 10 seconds early...still doesnt condone his crappyness.Good win.But still in massive danger.

Podolski · 19-02-2008, 09:49 PM

casseti deserved it.. he was making those fouls all game.
worst thing from this match, ramos misses return leg.
but the result is ok I guess, we always win in bernabeu, and a 1-0 win will take us through & we get robi back.
where is our spirit.. we always get ahead early.. then we think that's it, done.
under capello our fightbacks were great, scoring in the 90th minute, 93rd minute etc to win the match. i never see this anymore when we need it

**sinoy1** · 19-02-2008, 09:54 PM

IM more fearful for the return leg.Its not even close to being over.My initial thought on the first goal looked a bit offside but saw that Guily was keeping Raul on.I think it was Guily...sopcast link quality was crappy as hell.

Totti didnt have the best of games.His touches are still massively off.Good feed pass to Mancini though.Mancini was great I thought.He definately worked Ramos.

Guily was decent.He ran at Torres and played well.Good link

I was extremely impressed with Madrid's link up play.They play some great football.We got away from our style of play which is sad.We need to get our groove back.

Podolski · 19-02-2008, 10:02 PM

yeah, I was hoping ramos would be better in this match, but we will still miss him
I think Torres did better than I expected. Heinze was good apart from his mistake which gave you your second goal, I think that was because of his lack of match fitness, but that was a risk we took playing him.

robben was great. In the first half, he created most of chances, and as a result in the second half, he occupied 3 men.

dying to see robi-------robben

**sinoy1** · 19-02-2008, 10:10 PM

I think all Roma fans want to see Cicinho go against Madrid.He has literally been our number 1 stopper when the ball is played on the ground.He's good when players run at him.Not to mention he knows how to run with the ball unlike Panucci.

I really dont want to see Perrotta play anymore.As much as I loved him last season he has been poor this season.

I hope Juan can recover.He has been great.A sensational buy from our management.

Please play the oompa loompa brigade Spaletti!Along with Aquilani from the start.If we dont go for the win in the second leg then we're out.

Also hope-ing Robinho plays.He's been great everytime Ive seen him.

**Jager** · 19-02-2008, 10:18 PM

Congratulations to Roma, they have fighting chance here. I wish you all luck next round. I knew this tie would be tight, and I have been proven right.

**Pennywise** · 19-02-2008, 10:32 PM

Well, almost all Roma and Madrid supporters + media predicted a tight match between Roma and Real Madrid, Jager

What shall I say about the match. I had believed in more Roma dominance, but they scored in almost their two only chances and credit to that. Madrid had the ball much and created some big chances, but the ball would'nt go in behind the Roma goali.

I'm pretty sure that if Real Madrid had played with their main regular lineup as Roma did in tonights match, they may had won the match. Robben, Van Nistelrooy and Heinze were all not fit, even they played and Robinho, Pepe and Sneijder had reinforced this team a lot.

But Roma won 2-1 and good luck in Madrid. I like Roma as team and I hope they can give Madrid a good match in the Spanish capital too.

**Jager** · 19-02-2008, 10:44 PM

For sure, I mean nothing negative towards Real Madrid. I respect the club, they have won so much. Roma is an up and coming team in Europe. To be you lot would be huge for them.

I'm sure they remember after they beat United at home, then got thrashed in the away leg.
