Was one of the worst games i seen for a long time, no real passing from man utd as you could tell they were totally tired after just 2 days coming back from the usa tour, with ruud, forlan, keane all not playing.

I think sporting dominated the game but really it was a poor match, not a good game if your a neutral.

I dont watch much portugese footie but the amount of times they pull a players shirt and the way they fall over is a disgrace, if they played in the premiership i can tell you 3 players could have got sent off tonight just for diving and holding shirt every time.

Ronaldo class player, he just has to keep his head down and get on with his football and he will be a great player. All he lacks is finishing and if he gets that, could be on to a good player there.

his only 18 years old, still a baby,

diving is part of portuguese soccer, will never go away :danc: :danc:

[Frank Cunha]

too bad I couldn't watch the match only listen, but the big miss for Manchester United was Tim Howard

[MUFC]

Its a shame, i think it did let the game down and wasnt worth watching, i didnt bother to watch the game in the 70th minute, bad enough watching liverpool

[Frank Cunha]

did you like the stadium?

[MUFC]

Brilliant stadium, shame about the pitch though, didnt help the game at all but a class stadium.

[Frank Cunha]

the pitch will take time, or about Giants Stadium field?

[MUFC]

Giants stadium was perfect imo, did like the way it look and great passing pitch.

[Frank Cunha]

Giants stadium had a temporary grass, and big chunks would come out.

[MUFC]

I think the philli pitch was the best on the tour though and the celtic game had a sort of astroturf and grass pitch which a lot of united players havent played in.....Didnt like the astroturf but was a good pitch.
