It was a just a stupid challenge - stamping on the ankle of Lyon's centre forward in Lyon's own half of the pitch. What was the point?

It's been a very tight first half, but Lyon have a great chance of winning this game now.

This is one of the more active threads(and I'm lazy) so I thought It wouldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks Spider.

Why didn't you like it?

Nice shot by Pranjic and good save by Lloris.
Bayern are looking like the team most likely to score still.

Muller just missed a perfect chance.

the pace is slow, you care little for the characters because they aren't explored, and the movie jumps from set piece to piece with little joining the dots. feels more like a documentary than movie.

Haha Robben again. 1-0 Bayern.

Did you like Band of Brothers Spider?

haven't seen it? any good?
 
Not sure how Van Gall's viewed as a Manager or Coach, but as a tactician he's astounding. Wasn't it him who told Rivaldo to "stop dribbling and start passing"? Typically Dutch.

Anyway, down to 10 men tonight, and he goes 4-1-4-0. Plays without a striker. Fcuking quality. Reminiscent of Roma a few years back with their 4-6-0, and the United side that got to the Champions League final last year with Ronalod as a 'sort-of' frontman.

Muller, Schweinsteiger, and Robben free to break from midfield as Bayern broke quickly. It left Lyon's back four bewildered, and kept the damage of being down to 10 men to a minimum. As soon as Toulalan was sent off, he brought on Gomez and went for it with a 4-4-1. At the same time, Puel withdrew his frontman and held on for the draw, trying to clog up the midfield. 10 V 10, and the one who dares - wins.

Great stuff from Van Gaal. Fascinating battle that.
 
Van Gaal is a top manager, as good as any other.
He's very disciplined. People don't like him cause he's a cunt.
Still one of the best in the game.

Bayern don't have the best team, but they have a good enough team to beat Inter/Barca under his guidance.
I'm confident he'll win the final.
 
A completely one-sided match last night even when Bayern were down a man. One of the only positives that Lyon can take from that, is the fact that they're only one goal down (should of been at least 3).

It was. Although I'm not sure taking Robben off was the right idea. They seemed to lack cutting edge after that and they were dominating anyway. Another goal would have sealed the tie, I feel.
 
Robben is an excellent player. Would have loved him here even though he's an epic cunt.
 
I like the movie theme running through this thread.
I didn't get to see any of the game last night but reading Ryan's post about the tactical battle makes me wish I had seen it.
