Berbatov, leading Premier League scorer was left out in the cold, not included among the subs. His spot was taken by Michael Owen. WOW! We now know Ferguson didn't think he could win, just hopeng to be lucky. I think his players could feel that and played that way.
2 years ago, Park was left out after being instrumental in the runup to the Final. Ferguson is willing to humilate his big signings in favor of the homeboys.

Posts: 132Thanks Doggboy
Thanks for the advice yesterday. I arrived at Gibraltar right before the match started and the place was packed. I was lucky even to find a place to stand. The crowd, as expected, was solidly behind Man U. The beer was great and the even had an excellent burger. Thanks again!

Posts: 2470Well put. It was pretty clear yesterday why the likes of Mourinho and Wenger have gone defensive against Barca. If you actually try to play with them you get humiliated. IMHO-kudos to Ferguson for playing football against Barca though he and his team were soundly beaten.
Funny about the guys who can't keep themselves from fouling Messi. Nearly the entire Real Madrid squad, and Valencia had him targeted yesterday. Watching a guy who is that good drives them crazy.
And speaking of "lost on the field", what did much ballyhooed Chicharito accomplish other than being consistently offside? Talented kid but way out of his league yesterday.

Everyone is trying to find ways to mess up their beautiful game. Fouling is usually the easiest thing to do. I was happy to see that ManU players did not resort to that tactic, with the exception of Valencia who seemed lost on the field. I expect Mourinho to come up with some ways to beat them next year, but they are still the most pleasant team to watch.

Not a MANU fan, but I pick Ferguson's boys to beat Barcelona. The Catalonians are great but their playacting and constant griping should not be rewarded. But I am afraid they may have the refreee in their pocket, early yellows would hamper the Reds from their game, and a 2nd yellow would be disaster. Evra has to play the game of his life to neutralise Messi, maybe, playing Park on the left wing will allow him to come back and help out. The Mexican Hernandez could be the match winer and a dream season for him. A great game from Nani would help. No Giggs please, maybe the last 3 minutes.
What! The game will be at around 4 or 5 am in BKK. Wow, looks like a all night pregame show.

Semi-related news, some scumbag from Atletico Madrid deliberately put a nasty challenge on Leo Messi at the end of a match yesterday. Full diagnosis yet to come, but it looks like a badly sprained ankle and at worse some ligament damage.

La Plata, Cordoba, Santa Fe, Mendoza, San Juan, Jujuy and Salta. An opportunity to get out and see the country.

Initial press releases indicated that Buenos Aires will not be highlighted as a venue. But the local mafia has not done it's work yet.
It will be in the month of July, with Japan and Mexico as the invited teams. No USA. So not sure which team I am going to adopt.
