maybe he's watching Arsenal together....

brightlee

fiinally, after the few hours after this game, I am back...
Bayern play extremely well, they desire to qualify.
But one thing, Arsenal has future, you can see Senderos today, it's completely different than when Cygan is in there.
Toure got less pressure....
Yes, he made one mistakes nearly at the end..  but as this was his 1st champions league in his life, also this game, he got a lot of pressure from Bayern strikers.. he did it really well...

brightlee

To be fair, Bayern is as always, they are great in tactics.. (I remember one of the posts from someone yesterday in here, he said that)

I think there is his 5th game Senderos to be started in Gunners' career, which is great for him...
and he should be one of the greatest defenders in Premier League in future..

(another one I would pick, is John O'Shea)

brightlee

the result is ok, remember in tactical, Bayern deserves to win the series
I don't think they need a defenderif Senderos is playing like this, i am concerning who could be replacing Dennis Berkgamp.... this is the major parts for Gunners future, of cos, they need a reliable GK, (Struat Taylor)!!!!

brightlee

No, different type of person...
I think you may try to look out Van Persie or Bentley
in this current squad, they should have the highest potential to be the key man in strikers.
(you know I am talking about strikers, not midfield, you may choose Robert Pires to be in midfield, but he's 32 now...)

brightlee

just a small reminding for kyleung,

I am not blaming you or saying too rough things to you, (u could see I am not that type of person)

remmeber once upon a time, you were arguing Spanish League is much better than FA Premier League?!

If you think about what you said before, and check out the teams in quad final.
You could see NO Spanish teams in last 8 now

from what your theory, it's not working.......

I am trying to say, different league has different styles, you can't compare too much.
For example, can you believe 2 of the German teams lost 16 goals (totally in last 16?!)

Can you believe the top 2 in English league last year, they were out already?! (but the 3rd and 4the spot in last year, they are in last 8?)

It's just a game.. this competition, it's shown different styles of soccer, who could play better in a short per year.......

brightlee

hahha.. yes, I remember what's happen in 1990 worldcup and 2002 world cup
hahahha
great point!

brightlee

Well, to be honest, I watched Euro 2004, Czech KO them.. so they need to improve again...
they don't have great teens, this may make them in troubles...

brightlee

Italy gets the same situation....

Well.. also, nowadays, people are not concerning abotu the national games as they were before
