Portuguese ref ... Are n't they drawn ? And why does it mean friendship with Jose Mourinho ? Maybe the exact opposite is true. The chances of a Portuguese being enemies with another Portuguese are higher than the chances of an Englishman and a Portuguese.
If the scousers appeals are of any value, then it's another day City was favoured. They went 2-1 up yesterday from offside position, today rivals Liverpool are equalized by controversial goal.
Strange scenarios happen. But taking today's standings for granted and assuming City gone, then we do have to beat them. Ok the advantage of the draw is ours if they lose today, but that will make them put up a United performence against City.
I don't subscibe to the as early as possible goal theory. It may happen of course but that's not the idea. I don't like to see a Villa type situation in the back. Following that if our forwards are good enough to outwit the French defense the goals will come.
Re. Tuesday the possibility of a succesful counter attack by them is more threatening than the prospect of not scoring enough. I 've seen the film many times. The bookies say 1.83 for the home win.
PSG against Reims today (3-0). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MVdNu_St7s Poor video but you can see the three goals. Cavani scored the first, the second one was counted as an own goal but it was n't really an own goal, the third an own goal again.
Maybe Salah can become a hero for Egypt. I know of a Maghdi Tolba who achieved some European acclamation in years past. Also there were two twin brothers - I don't remember their names. Any others ?
We can finish second. Liverpool -in the normal course of events- can be no threat. City enjoy some referee backing as well I noticed. But I don't like them winning the league beacuse they are Euro losers.
