Man City 90 - 10 Shalke So far you have 4 underdogs qualified Tottelham (45 %) and 3 teams with 30% of chances (Man Utd , Ajax and Porto) ... if we follow that trend here, next teams to qualify will be Liverpool, Atlético, Lyon and Schalke? that would be the craziest champions league season of all times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season Real never should have won the champions league, but the referees didnt allow them to be eliminated. This season it was somewhat the other way round, the third goal for Ajax was clearly irregular but still counted. Mind to guess the nationality of the referee for yesterday's game? Ajax has some talented players and apparently a pretty good coach (who used to work for FC Bayern), sadly their "run" won't last long, teams like that get picked apart very quickly in today's game. The same happened to Dortmund (Lewandowski, Götze, Gündogan, Sahin, Kagawa) although they were a much richer club than Ajax. I used to predict a very dark future for dutch football, but guys like De Ligt, De Jong, Bergwijn, Kluivert or Van Dijk should ensure that they have at least a decent future and will qualify for big tournaments more regularly again. No Ronaldo, No Zidane, and No more refereeing help or robbery because of the VAR technology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuniscof 152 Posted March 7, 2019 #149 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Manchester United should say thank you Mourniho at the end of the season He could be the reason of the Red Devil's Metamorphosis in UCL it reminds me of UEFA CL 1998/1999 , a probable Man United - Bayern Final in Spain (Bayern lost two champions league finals in Spain vs Man United in 1999 in Camp Nou and in 2010 vs Inter in Bernabeu ) mihamiha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,597 Posted March 7, 2019 #150 Share Posted March 7, 2019 5 hours ago, heywoodu said: I can't understand how anyone can see VAR as a terrible idea...the current execution is not perfect, but surely taking out some fouls simply makes the game much more fair than missing all of those that VAR does take out? It should just be done faster, now often VAR is looking and after a few minutes, the referee goes to the monitor to check for himself Just do it like in hockey: team asks for a video review (limited number of opportunities to do so), VAR checks and tells the ref what the decision is, done. of course I mean the current VAR rules. I know we had to use video is football and I'm OK using it for "obvious" things like off sides etc. but I don't likes two things about VAR, first the delay and stopping the match for too long and second using it for 50-50 calls. as I said if you use a microscope you always can find a foul somewhere to call a penalty or something like that. tuniscof 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
