The CL 12-9-06 thread

Woo for Moro.

Roma clearly cheated.

Happy about our result. It's on paper the toughest game of the group stages, so a draw is a strong result.

That bastard. I had them down to win 4-0... UGH.

interesting fact of the day:

Puyol scored his first goal in the CL tonight, after 60 games...

An even more interesting fact IMO:

2111: RED CARD A goal down and now a man down for Inter Milan. Patrick Vieira is sent off on his Champions League debut for a second booking. He was also sent off on his Champions League debut for Juventus.

It was a dirty challenge, he elbowed a player in the face.

Couldn't agree more, looks like he's gonna be *massive* for PSV (this was only his second match for them )

Not a second booking, but yes, a straight red card.
