Schalke04 v Manchester United

Man. Utd has lost to German sides the last few meetings in the Champions League.

Schalke is one of the clubs that I have cards for the 1930s, 1950s and 1970s - lots of missing in between.

My Man. Utd collection runs from the first decade in 1910s all the way to the present (at least one card from every decade) - 100 years of Reds cards.

Should be a good game.

  • The game was a big disappointment. Schalke barely showed up. While I expected Man U to win, this was a walkover.

    I am dying to see the Barc v Real game tomorrow.

    Barca/Real was terrible. Everyone involved in that should be embarrassed, but particularly Real.
  • I was thinking the same thing Boo. What an embarrassment. Baseball players get hit with 98 mph fastballs and walk to first base.
    Canadian hockey players lose teeth and come out for the next shift. These Spanish primadonnas get knicked on the leg and they act
    like they just got shot by a bazooka. And they all act like this. Is there anyone besides Messi who doesn't act like a little girl when they
    feel the littlest of contact ? Let's see some of these girls play in the NHL.

    Iniesta doesn't go in for much of that diving nonsense, but of course he was injured yesterday. Actually, my remarks were centered more on the quality of play. The first half saw the Blaugrana kicking the ball back and forth at midfield while all 10 Real players huddled in front of their own goal. Mourinho may be a great coach, but his conservative nature can make these games a real snooze-fest.

    With regards to the diving, though, you're right on. DiMaria and (especially) Pedro should just be totally ashamed. You know the diving is getting bad when we're talking about it and nobody even mentions Ronaldo!
  • Mourinho is just taking a page out of the old Italian playbook. The best way to beat a more skilled team is to pack 'em in from your goal
    line to midfield and make your moves on the counter-attack.
