It might be good, but it's not fun.<BR/><BR/>But I am taking enormous joys from the fact that Barca seem to be underperforming.

At RM he knows that there would be too many people (and thier egos) trying to influence him on damn near everything.<BR/><BR/>Of course, Capello is pretty damn good himself.Kanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02959256951835399304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25555967.post-1161319270860273272006-10-19T21:41:00.000-07:002006-10-19T21:41:00.000-07:00Yes - they (CSKA) did win the UEFA Cup in 2005 and...Yes - they (CSKA) did win the UEFA Cup in 2005 and I believe they made it to the semifinals of UEFA in 2006, so they have that European tournament experience.<BR/><BR/>CSKA are owned by Abromavich/Sibneft, no? Isn't this the club that he had Sibneft buy a huge stake in so as to avoid conflict of interest by buying himself. Hold on...<BR/><BR/>Well, sort of, but now apparently his influence (at least explicitly) is no longer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Abramovich#CSKA_Moscow<BR/><BR/>Funniest thing about Vagner Love is not the blue corn row braided mullet, but rather that he realizes how great his name is, so on the back of his jersey he puts the whole thing "VAGNER LOVE", which looks hilarious and is ironic in that he is Brasilian, land of the 1 name footballers.Kanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02959256951835399304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25555967.post-1161316618521418812006-10-19T20:56:00.000-07:002006-10-19T20:56:00.000-07:00Oh, I should say something about Arsene shouldn't ...Oh, I should say something about Arsene shouldn't I?<BR/><BR/>Uh... he's good.<BR/><BR/>Should be running RM.<BR/><BR/>Whichever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25555967.post-1161312454755183832006-10-19T19:47:00.000-07:002006-10-19T19:47:00.000-07:00In fairness, that was one helluva a goal from Dani...In fairness, that was one helluva a goal from Daniel Carvalho.<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMJ-ZTYF9n0<BR/><BR/>Someone is running CSKA Moscow the way I would run a football team. The Brazilian who drew the foul, Wagner Love, the Brazilian who backheeled it back, Dudu Cearense, and Daniel Carvalho are/were all young players that struck me as promising players a couple years back (admittedly, Wagner Love mostly for his name). Carvalho and Cearense were part of a very good looking Brazilian youth squad that won the FIFA Youth World Cup in 2003 where Carvalho was the undoubted find of the tournament. Great scorer from midfield, and left footed, I'm shocked that nobody in the big leagues have swooped him yet (Arsene should be convinced now).<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNwUeE2c12s<BR/><BR/>Also, Igor Akinfeev is probably the best young keeper in the world. And the utter confusion of having 2 twin brothers as their fullbacks. I won't be surprised if that team makes it to the Quarters and beyond.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
