CL Semifinal - Schalke vs. Manchester Utd

Not a bad effort by Edu.

He's still moved the ball on fast and forward. Something which I havent seen him do for ages.

Finally. Giggs slides the ball past Neuer to give Man Utd a deserved lead.

Brilliant through ball by Rooney, cool finish by Giggs. 1-0 United!

Well deserved, of course.

Giggs

Is that Souness commentating on Sky? Jesus what a plonker.

What a ball from Rooney though! World Class!

Goal. United.

Sadly, great ball from Wayne "facking overrated waste of a shit not in Ozil's league if he were German he'd be nothing special" Rooney

Finally. Thought it was never coming..

Credit to Rooney. Brilliant ball.

Another great goal. Game over.

Rooooooooneyyy.

0-2 Rooney.

I can't believe just how badly Schalke defended that goal. One of their players completely stopped to allow Hernandez the ball then. Terrible performance from the home side.

Floodgates: open for business.

Goal. Wayne "Zero finished at 21" Rooney

Come on Schalke, it ain't over til the fat lady sings. And then Rooney shags her. In PVC

Damn! Matip with TWO assists for the Mancs FFS! I know I know, Matip's not really a central defender, he's just covering for Howedes.

Well, tie is over already. I can't see Schalke equalising that lead away from home, especially if they play like tonight. Awful team performance, has to be said.

Excellent goal again! Rooney is such an amazing player. The nr 10 in the EPL is Sunderland, they would have made it more of a game then Schalke tonight me thinks.

Man United are the pride of Britain!

I've just got in, how come Farfan hasn't scored? I expected him to have torn the dirty overrated English apart.

Is that bet still on Otto?

The pussy football from Man Utd hasn't allowed the biggest of big game players to shine.

Well Farfan was a good player when he played for Penisvee, went downhill after he left them though.

Bring on Farfan FFS!

What a load of shit Schalke have been. Easiest semi United will ever have.

So all of the quarters and now one of the semi final were over in one leg. Dullest CL in years ?

Lets hope Barca vs Madrid makes up for it, but i fear its just gonna be dive, playact and hackfest.

Credit to the Schalke fans for continuing to sing and provide atmosphere.

People can and will criticise them, but they've done far better than anyone expected.

Well, at least a good shot by Escudero.

I agree, their fans are the best in Germany. And they gone further then Spurs with a lesser budget, so kudos to them.

It's not so much about losing, that had to be expected. It's the first CL semi final ever for Schalke after all.It's about the how. You'd at least expect a fight from a working class club like Schalke.

They did indeed. Not the first time Germany has got lucky with the draw though...
