Messi is good, but he still need more strength, he got speed, and technics
If saw the match against Liverpool, he was totally outplayed by tough Liverpool defence. English league is more physical than Spanish, so i think he will do good in countries/ series in Spain, Portugal.

True that Real Madrid´s budget for this season between 200-300 million €:s
Sevilla who leads now La Liga, has only 30 million budget, and is coming one of the elite if they can maintain their status as high as few last years & this goin´year.

^^ You're right about Messi, he does get tossed around when teams play him very physically. He needs more strength for sure.

And I think it's good that teams with smaller budgets still do good in the league. In the end, it's always decided 11 vs 11 on the field...

Messi has grown the last year. The first games i watched when he moved up from the youth team to the A squad in Barca i wasnt that impressed. But he was only 17 years old back then(sounds like ancient times, only 2 years ago) and obviously they knew he had an extraordinary talent. I agree that he needs to toughen up a bit. But if he learn to play smart then even small players can manage to outplay tough and big defenders . Look at Larsson , not only is he old but skinny as hell and he had a brilliant career as a striker. Im not saying he got Messi status lol , but he understood how to play against those hard defenders. But again , Messi is only 19 years old . So the lack of experience when playing a physical english team is understandable. In time , he'll learn. And with that , become a worldclass striker. Im sure of that .

it will be intresting see how Netherlands can pull off
last match they draw 0-0 against Romania, and Kuyt was on bench for a whole match. and after the match he left the arena @ first, not lookin happy

Will he be back in startlineup ?

^^Didnt Van Basten send two players home after the 0-0 draw. He blamed them for the poor result . That pretty mean haha . I wouldnt want my name in the papers for fucking up for the whole nation. I think thats bad coaching if anything.

Let me add that i didnt catch that game so i dont know how bad they played. If indeed they were responsible for the poor result , then Van Basten is brave and honest to admit it. But i still feel its wrong to put it out there , it wont help there Self-confidence exactly. Some things you just take within the group.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy & Makayy either played in that match

Fuck we lost to Azerbaizan, i knew that this will be hard by all the circumstances that the trip to Azerbaizan will make.
And yes, it was too hard this time.

Netherlands struggled and got goal by 85 th minute
It was lucky one Van Bronkhort´s shot changed way from Slovenia defender and slipped into goal, Well Netherlands dominated the whole match and Sneider was earlier face 2 face with Slovenia´s goal keeper, he tryed to go around the slovenia´s gk, but he took ball from he´s feet.

Kuyt came back to startingline up and brought many good opportunities for Netherlands to score;

I didn't see the game, but does N. Ireland still got the Keane guys? I think there were two of them, but they might not play anymore so I'm just wondering. They both played pretty good IMO, especially Roy Keane.

They accually play for the Republic of Ireland . Northern Ireland got their own little space upnorth and also their own national team . lol. But i feel you , Roy keane was very good when he was active. Agressive type of player who never gave up. He's a manager now for Sunderland in England. And Robbie Keane is still active and play for Tottenham hotspurs and the national team.

I watched the Milan - Bayern Munich game . Milan kept the pressure on in the first half, munich were not bad but they didnt attack much during the first 45 minutes. . Káká maybe should of had a penalty when lucio brought him down . But just a few minutes after ,Pirlo scored a header(!) . I cant say ive seen him score using his head before lol.
Bayern munich fought back and were playing pretty well during the second half . I thought Milan would play defensive during the second half when they were ahead , typical italian football in other words. But they didnt , they kept on playing offensive until the very last few minutes . Bad referee though! how the hell was that a penalty kick when Lucio hit the ball first and Kaka fell. That was pretty cheap. At this top level of football you would think they would have some quality referees. Anyway , im accually glad munich fought back and scored the 2-2 goal in the last seconds . Because thats a hell of a way to get knocked out outta CL. Van Buyten 2 goals , LOL! When will he ever do that again?!
Didnt catch PSV Eindhoven-Liverpool game, i just saw the goals. Liverpool are through, needless to say .
