Can they still call it the "champions" league if teams other than the league champion are in the competition?
Watched the ManU-Villareal match a little.
I've said this before, but Gary Neville is so average. He was never flashy, but he could deliver crosses. Today, not so much. I know he hasn't played in a while, but still, he wasn't that good before anyway. On a semi-related Neville note, I love the Premier League Fan Zone on Fox Soccer Channel. On last night's game, Stoke v. Everton, the guys says something like "it's terrible to get megged, but it's even worse to get megged by Phil Neville."
Giggs is also past being useful at this level. He's still a good player, but not effective enough at the highest level of competition. He doesn't release the ball early enough. I appreciate the loyalty to him from SAF, but at the same time, it surprises me that he still gets in games given what's at stake.
Ronaldo got in the game for about 30 minutes. He looked pretty good. I love watching JS Park run around the field, but he's so small, he gets out-muscled a lot.
Didn't see any other games and forgot this was starting.
