10 Reasons Why Manchester United Will Beat Barcelona in the Champions League Final

noreply@blogger.com (A.Admin) — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 02:45:07 PST

1) Manchester United has the strongest defence out of all the teams in Europe. They have Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic as defenders and also Edwin van der Sar as goalie. Edwin van der Sar had a record-breaking streak of over 1000 minutes without conceding a goal in the season. Although Barcelona has very strong attack (scoring over 100 goals in the spanish league this season), Manchester United can unmistakably stop them from scoring.

2) Manchester United has very strong attack. Strikers contain Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Dimitar Berbatov and also Carlos Tevez. They have a wide choice of strikers, together with some young players from the maintain team, like Macheda.

3) Manchester United has some experienced players like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes. They have been in the team for over 10 years and also played in the 1999 Champions League final (Manchester United beat Bayern Munich 2-1). They can use their contact to help Manchester United win the match. They can operate the tempo of the match easily, and make it easy for their own teammates to play.

4) Manchester United broke many records in the Champions League this season. They were the first team to go into the quarter-finals as defending champions in the last few seasons. They were also the first team to go to the semi-finals and finals as defending champions in the last few seasons. If they had broken so many records, why not break an additional one one? They can become the first team in Champions League history (after it changed its name) to be back-to-back champions.

5) Manchester United has a very hardworking player, Park Ji-Sung. He runs colse to in the pitch all the time and he does unmistakably well man-to-man marking. Also, Sir Alex Ferguson (the coach/manager) promised to let him play in the final, so he will be incredible to achieve well.

6) Manchester United has a good and experienced coach/manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. He has been managing the team for more than 20 years and has a lot of experience. He can make the right choice of who to substitute in the match and tries his best to lead the team to victory.

7) Manchester United has a very well-trained midfield consisting of Michael Carrick, Ryan Giggs, C Ronaldo and Park Ji-Sung. Carrick and Giggs commonly defend and Ronaldo and Park commonly attack. They have very unique ways of playing football and it will be difficult for Barcelona players to predict what strategy they are going to use.

8) Manchester United has had an extremely good season and it would be a big boost to them in the final, which is held in Rome, Italy. They won the Barclays Premier League, the Carling Cup, and the society Shield this season so far. They are going to fulfill their aims for this season if they also win the Champions League.

9) Many Manchester United players have been to the final of the Champions League last season, so they have an benefit over Barcelona in the final as they have experience. To a pro football player, contact is very important.

10) The most important factor of all, is because Manchester United play as a team, not as a one-man team, like Barcelona. Only Messi can operate the tempo/rhythm of the match in Barcelona and this is not enough. Teamwork is very crucial and vital and without teamwork, no team can win.

For all of these reasons, I believe that Manchester United has the potential to beat Barcelona.

What I expect the starting lineup for Manchester United will be:
Goalie: Edwin van der Sar
Right-back: John O'Shea
Center-backs: Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic
Left-back: Patrice Evra
Wingers: Park Ji-Sung and Cristiano Ronaldo
Right-midfield: Michael Carrick
Left-midfied: Ryan Giggs
Strikers: Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez

Uefa Champions League Group Stage

noreply@blogger.com (A.Admin) — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 17:45:07 PST

Summer is over. That only means one thing: the Champions League is back. This year's joint favourites, Barcelona and Chelsea, have fast come to be bitter rivals in this competition. That rivalry is confident to intensify since they were drawn into the same group at this early stage of the tournament. The format is as follows: 32 teams contest the group stage, divided into eight groups of four. The group winners and runners-up strengthen to the knockout stages, the eight third-placed teams move into the Uefa Cup third round, and the eight fourth-placed teams are eliminated. Here is an overview of all the groups with predictions on who we expect to win each group.

Group A: Barcelona (-118), Chelsea (+125), Werder Bremen (15/1), Levski Sofia (250/1)

Maybe the Chelsea-Barcelona rivalry won't be quite as intense at this early stage. Both teams will strengthen from this group and there is a good chance they will meet again at a later stage of this competition. Chelsea look noticeably shakier this year. Their previously impenetrable defence looks slightly more lax. That will bode ill for the Blues. But unlike the past few years, with two Premiership titles under their belt, this season Jose Mourinho's explicit goal is to win the Champions League. Still, we have to side with Barcelona here. They are goal scoring machines and should demolish Bremen and Levski, and they are more than capable of scoring against Chelsea. At close to even money, they are worth backing to win this group.

Group B: Bayern Munich (+125), Inter Milan (+163), Sporting Lisbon (6/1), Spartak Moscow (40/1)

Inter is a big price here and are worth backing. They have added strength, capability and depth to their squad and after the Calciopoli scandal were belated awarded last year's Scudetto in Serie A. Sporting Lisbon are no pushovers, but Inter can and should get past them. There is one microscopic worry though. Bayern Munich is the sort of team that can run up the score against weak opponents like Spartak Moscow. If Bayern and Inter are level on points, Bayern could well win this group on goal difference.

Group C: Liverpool (-161), Psv Eindhoven (+450), Bordeaux (5/1), Galatasaray (10/1)

Although they are odds-on, it's hard to look past Liverpool in this group. They are a well-organized side and lifted the Cl trophy two years ago. Manger Rafa Benitez is experienced at European competition and should navigate his team straight through this group with ease. Psv are a shadow of the team they were last season. There is a good chance they won't halt in the top two of the Dutch league, let alone replicate their above median Champions League form of modern years. Bordeaux and Galatasaray are second-rate clubs in this competition.

Group D: Valencia (-125), Roma (+150), Shakhtar Donetsk (20/1), Olympiakos (29/1)

It's hard to understand why Roma are underdogs in this group. They are favoured to win this year's diluted Italian league. Their squad is a lot stronger this season both on paper and judging by their Serie A results so far. But the Romans face tough Spanish competition in this group. Valencia have a disciplined and experienced Champions League side. They are deadly on the counterattack and stifle the offence of their opponents. This looks like a coin flip in the middle of Roma and Valencia, so we'll take the Italians at odds-against. Keep and eye on Olympiakos. They won't win this group, but, like many Greek teams, they can be dangerous in their home games.

Group E: Lyon (-125), Real Madrid (+163), Steaua Bucharest (10/1), Dynamo Kiev (50/1)

The collapse of Juventus has benefited no team more than Real Madrid. The Spanish giants picked up a handful more Galacticos and one of the world's top managers, Fabio Capello. They are serious contenders for both the La Liga and Champions League titles this year. But they will have to get past their nemesis in this tournament: Lyon. The French side are perennially underestimated by the bookmakers despite excelling in European competition. We'll happily back them again to win this group and possibly the whole thing.

Group F: Manchester United (-275), Benfica (+650), Celtic (13/1), Fc Copenhagen (50/1)

Man Utd couldn't have asked for a more favourable draw. But luck is what they'll need to get any further than this stage. At this short price, it's not worth betting on the Red Devils to win the group. Copenhagen are a dangerous team, having knocked Ajax out of this competition. They are a huge price to win the group and are worth a small punt. Benfica are solid as ever in Portugal and experienced in the Champions League. They should claim second spot.

Group G: Arsenal (-161), Hamburg (9/1), Porto (9/1), Cska Moscow (10/1)

Arsenal were the surprise team of the Champions League last year, going all the way to the final and defying expectations with each match. This year, they seem to be overestimated. The Gunners have not yet settled into their new Emirates Stadium. The squad look noticeably uncomfortable and will take more time to jell. In light of the above, it's worth finding at the others. Cska are a huge price at 10/1 and the 2005 Uefa Cup champions must be backed to win this group. Russia is an intimidating place for visiting teams and the Muscovites are more than capable of claiming results from their travels.

Group H: Ac Milan (-333), Lille (6/1), Aek Athens (25/1), Anderlecht (33/1)

Milan should cruise straight through this group with relative ease. They are capable of dismantling virtually any team in the world and opponents like Lille, Aek and Anderlecht are hardly dangerous challengers. Lille are solid in France and might hold Milan to a draw in their home leg. As usual, Greek side Aek will be tough at home too, but they are hopeless on their travels. Anderlecht don't deserve to be in this competition. Even at this short price, take Milan.

Steven Gerrard - The Working Class Hero

noreply@blogger.com (A.Admin) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:46:19 PST

Born and brought up in a middle class house in the Whiston area of Merseyside, Steven Gerrard has gone on to become one of England's finest football players. When Gerrard was nine, he lost his cousin Jon-Paul Gilhooley in the Hillsborough disaster. This loss of a "family member" spurred Gerrard to tackle football in a very sentimental sense and become the footballer he is today. Gerrard ends his autobiography with the words - "I play for Jon-Paul."

While playing for Whiston Juniors, he caught the eye of the Liverpool scouts. He was drafted into the Liverpool youth setup. He made his Liverpool debut on 29 November 1998 when he came on as a last slight substitute for Vegard Heggem. He has not looked back since. Over the next decade, he has played 355 games for Liverpool scoring 76 times. He has won two Fa Cups, two League Cups, Uefa Champions League, Uefa Cup and the Uefa Super Cup with Liverpool. The only medal that has eluded him is the Barclays Premier League Winners' medal.

Gerrard made his international debut against Ukraine on 31 May 2000. After that, he has gone on to report England on 77 occasions scoring 16 times. He made a solitary substitute appearance at Euro 2000. He scored his first goal in the celebrated 5-1 rout of Germany in the 2002 World Cup Qualifying rounds. He went on to captain England while Steve Mclaren's reign as manager. But England suffered back to back losses against Croatia and Russia under his leadership and hence did not make it to Euro 2008. Capello also gave Gerrard a run of games as captain of England, but later settled on John Terry.

At 30, the World Cup in South Africa in six months' time will be Gerrard's final opening to win the sport's biggest trophy. And if he is able to do the same, his name will be etched forever in the annals of English football.

For any soccer fan, a visit to the new Wembley Stadium is a must. Not only is it one of the world's most excellent modern stadiums, but is host to the best of English football and features a veritable 'footie-fest' of the nation's prominent cup finals and Football League play-offs every season.

The Football connection - the sport's governing body - is planning a £12million move of its administrative headquarters from Soho quadrate to the new Stadium during July 2009. As Wembley is also the home venue for all of England's international fixtures - along with the qualifying games for the 2010 World Cup Finals - the move will firmly establish the stadium as the 'home of English football'.

As the English football season progresses towards its climax in May, Wembley hosts a estimate of prestigious finals along with the original finale to the football season - the Fa Cup Final. But, before that the cup final season begins in either late February or early March with the staging of the Carling Cup Final. This show piece cup competition of the Football League will celebrate its 50th anniversary at Wembley in 2010.

Next up is the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final played at Wembley in early April. This competition is exclusively for clubs that compete in League One and League Two of the Football League. The 2009 final was an absolute thriller with Luton beating Scunthorpe 3-2 after extra time in front of a ample lower league football crowd of 53,378.

In May the games come thick and fast at the Stadium, starting with the Fa Trophy Final and Fa Vase Final, played on successive days on the second weekend of the month.

Next, and still in May, the Football League hosts the Play-off finals when the last promotion spots for The Championship, League One and League Two are decided. Indeed, The Football League Championship play-off final - normally played on late May Bank Holiday Monday - is billed as football's most lucrative 'one-off' game. The winners will be promoted to the Barclays Premier League and with that comes entrance to lucrative Tv money.

Finally, the last weekend in May sees the original season finale; the Fa Cup final. This is one of the few 'protected' games to be televised live on terrestrial channels and is the daddy of all football competition finals. As you can see, May is also the month when the owners of London hotels - particularly those situated nearby Wembley - rub their hands in glee at the glut of 'no vacancies' signs, as they adapt the thousands of football fans travelling to the capital to watch their teams in action.

But, fans of football that can't get a label to a game at Wembley needn't despair. They can still entrance the stadium and sample its marvellous features at first-hand by buying a Stadium tour ticket.
