LukakutoStamford 779 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 D'you really think so. Dortmund is not that strong, for sure City is a lot better, BVB does not have any more experience. I'm quite sure they will qualify second to RM. Bayern due to their weak group will be the only german team to qualify.Terrible draw for Citeh. They could finish fourth and I wouldn't be surprised. It's not that Dortmund or Ajax are world beaters but I think Citeh has enough weakness that this draw could cause them a whole host of issues.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Ajax are a guaranteed 6 points and iit will be decided by Dortmund vs Citeh if they get 2 or 4 points.--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'm pretty happy with this draw. Not as easy as I would have liked but we aren't Utd so can't expect that sort of 'help'. Really looking forward to those Juve matches.And jesus some of the posts here after the draw was made... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Btw, when actually did Messi try to belittle our success? There has actually been no Barca CL triumph without them having had luck in amazing abundance and controversial refereeing decisions to put it cautiously. I bet Barca would not have won a single title if the referees or whoever was influencing them would not have helped. To add Spanish football is hugely funded by the ever-bankrupt spanish state, who puts high taxes on everything except Real and Barca and the taxpayer of richer European Countries have to save their weakened economy and hence fund Fc Barcelona.A certain eufemio Fuentes openly admits having injected doping substances into several Barca players. Furthermore, Barca admit using HumanGrowthHormones (hgh) excessively pre and post training sessions and games in such high dosages, it has to be allowed by Uefa. uefa have not only granted that permission (Barca is the only club to own this permission) but in order to grant a swift doping/drug control they have excused Barca players from drug controls several times....I was not surprised with spanish sports suddenly becoming so succesful in recent timesand now messi says, we were lucky to win the CL...Don't believe me, have a look:http://www.tagesanze.../story/17920233http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cjHyjnCflshttp://www.welt-hert...-fussball.html/http://www.gazzetta....132951672.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Not a bad draw. We can handle Juventus and the other two teams are nothing really. It might be tough to top the group though. Anyway a massive LOL to Citeh. Hope they get destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Juve has lot of italian players and that national team was playing in final of euro. Pirlo, Vidal, Chiellini, Marchisio, Isla, Buffon and possibly Llorente are fantastic players. The onlyweakness is that they lack of CL games in recent years, but shouldnt be problem for Buffon. Pirlo, etc. Shakhtar as team is not that difficult, but they are Strong squad and the weather there could be terrible. Nordsjelland will probably be easier, maybe something similar to Kobenhavn we played in past. I expect 2 draws away vs Juve and Shakhtar and 4 wins. But defeat could also be there if we wont be prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingPapers 194 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Wow, nice way to talk, i bet you feel very strong now ! Apart from this, hello everyone, i'm a Juventus fan from Italy.The draw was very interesting, we look forward to play you at Stamford Bridge and at our new Juventus Stadium.I read some positive comments from you guys about our team.Some others instead seem to understimate us... maybe you shouldn't: after the 2006 relegation we've gone trough some difficult seasons, but when our former captain Antonio Conte joined us as a manager last year, things finally changed... the DNA of the old Juve came back, the spirit of never give up came back... like you probably know we won the league with ZERO defeats, we also reach the final of the Italian Cup and this year we already won the Italian Supercup (the equivalent of your Community Shield).Another thing that Conte brought to this team is a very high quality football, the best in Italy, and i'm not saying this because i'm a fan.If you look at some stats from last season games, you will notice that we always had a lot of ball possession (3rd team with more ball possession in Europe last year, see here: http://tinyurl.com/czz3bde), we never throw away the ball, not even when it's near our box.Our defence was also very good last year (just 20 goals conceded in 38 games, best of the league), but in my opinion the strongest zone of our team is the midfield.Pirlo, Vidal and Marchisio all had a magical season, and this year we add Isla and Asamoah, who had a very good start of the season (a goal in the Supercup, an assist in the first Serie A match vs Parma).A greeting to all of you and sorry if my english wasn't 100% correct !Stefano, Italy.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 We got a squad with 2 absolute quality players in each field position for exactly those 3 games in a week situations. I do not worry about that. Even a team of------------------------------Cech------------------------------------Azpi------------Luiz------------------Cahill-------------------Ryan-----------------Essien----------------Meireles----------------------Moses----------------------Oscar---------------------------Marin------------------------------Danny----------------------------------should be capable of getting a result at juventus or shakthar (no disrespect).

The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Can't believe people are underrating Juventus that much. You'll be surprised. Juventus are the Italian champions, they didn't lose a game in the league last season. If you think we'd get a result from them easily then shame on you, just because Juve haven't been in the CL recently people forget that they are one of the most successful teams in Italy. Nothing but respect for Juve, we'll need to play our strongest team at top form to beat them. Juve XI I'm expecting is:Buffon Lucio - Barzagli - ChielliniPirloLichtensteiner - Marchisio - Vidal - AsamoahGiovinco - VucinicSomething like that anyway. A very strong team. This should be a great match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The good thing is we're getting the away trip to Shakthar out of the way nice and early. It would have been horrific to go there on matchday 6 with qualification still not in the bag... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
