Champions League 2010 Final is here!

Posted by ballabettor On May - 21 - 2010

This same time tomorrow I’ll be waiting anxiously for the beginning of the match. It will be broadcasted live from Madrid and it starts at 20:45. What a great match it can be! I don’t dare to state that it WILL be a great match, since finals tend to be really not well played games, like last year’s one.

Now, Inter Milan will face the Bundesliga Champions, Bayern Munich, which showed great form this season. Both clubs got the Doubles in their respective countries and both have stellar lineups.

Predictable Champions in Europe

Posted by ballabettor On May - 18 - 2010

As I stated in the last post, some thrill was still on for the line for the Champions of Europe to be decided, but it turned out that favorites just won everything plain and simple.

Inter was the one that had the biggest problems, with thin wins (as usual) to secure the Italian Serie A. Bayern Munich destroyed the Bundesliga, with easy wins in the end of the championship.

A great night it was last Wednesday. Manchester United playing home opened a 3-0 advantage which seemed like an impossible job for the Germans to pass, but they showed heart and scored the two needed goals to go to next phase. Olic’s goal in the last minute of first half was decisive to Van Gaal’s side to return from the locker room confident enough to reach the objetive. It was a great football played by both sides.

Meanwhile in France, Lyon playing with a 3-1 advantage from first leg on their back, were brave and even quite lucky when they held the current France champions from Bordeaux. The goal scored in the end of first half served to put some wood in the fire and made Bordeaux even more keen to keep the pressure on. Looked like a one side match, since Bordeaux played almost the whole game inside Lyon’s field, but they were stopped by the good goalkeeper from Lyon, Hugo Lloris. It’s said that Juventus is spotting this young man as a replacement for Gigi Buffon. He can’t be that bad, can he? ;)

Before the matches yesteday, I discussed with my colleagues why I was 99% sure that a bet on Barcelona to win first half by at least two goals was good. They are in exquisite form and run as hard as possible to get posession back if they don’t have it. But on first half, they usually do it even more, since it looks like Pep loves to have the game “over” after the first half end whistle.

What Arsenal, a team that also likes to play with posession, do against such a big eager to maintain the ball and in better overall shape?

Barcelona and Inter have the edge

Posted by ballabettor On April - 1 - 2010

In a game that Arsenal was surprisingly dominated (at least for me), Barcelona took home the advantage to play for a draw up to 1×1, after the 2×2 they got in England. Once more, Ibra missed a lot of goals, but managed to score to beautiful and important ones.

In Milano, not an inspared Inter beat by the lowest score the russians from CSKA Moscow. Can say much about this cause I watched only highlights, but it doesn’t seem like there was much action going on.
