The Champions' League Thread 2013-14

I think I see what you mean, thought I'm still not sure on the logistics of it. Might be the jet lag.

It's an interesting conversation.

Reckon there's a paper in there justifying which laws and interpretations will likely best preserve a football match as spectacle. Game theory etc.

Attacker dive / not dive. Defender foul / not foul. Referee send off / not send off. Retroactive punishments / no retroactive punishments.

The foul needs to be given from where the referee first spots it and decides to make a decision, anything else is pretty shady. You can't retrospectively decide to play advantage and give the foul later on.

Of course you can that's how playing the advantage typically works.
Did he get fouled? Yes, but they can play on cos they have advantage... oh looks like they don't. Foul.

Refs aren't pre-cog ya know.

Of the teams you have seen this week, who do you favour to win it all?

Barca
Bayern
PSG
Atletico?

Klaus

Paris.

Volante

Bayern are still the team to beat but PSG can beat anyone. Still have big question marks about Barca defensively, don't think they could handle some of the attacks still in the competition.

I want to see Bayern vs Barca/PSG in the Final should we be knocked out. Chelsea to lose to Bayern in the SFs.

Madrid will probs win it

Claudius

If we played all three of these teams 10 times each, we'd lose the overall series. They're all very good. It's hard to look at that group of teams and comfortably select a winner from amongst them. What is clear is that they are individually much better than Arsenal, Leverkusen, Meelan and City

Rex

Think Bayern will become the first team to successfully defend the crown.

Claudius

Guardiola with his beady eyes and bald head should not be allowed to win. His Bayern is less attractive than last year's

Klaus

They didn't show it against us, but I think they are more entertaining actually. More range and variation in their game. They're on course to finish the league season unbeaten too.

Claudius

Dortmund putting the hurting to a team we could have faced if we'd not thrown away our last group game. And this is the worst Dortmund team in 3 or 4 seasons. Boo

Klaus

Zenit aren't match fit though. They haven't played football for over three months because of the Russian winter break.

Lukazan

Exactly.

Dragan

Campbell starting for Olympiakos tonight. Should be fired up to impress regardless of how slim his chances of making it with us are.

y va marquer

First job - get Evra on a yellow. Done.

Klaus
