I thought that putting nine or ten behind the ball and counterattacking was how the inferior side played, not the superior side at home.

I play intramurals but that isn't the professional game because no one has the endurance to work for even 25 minutes halves. My old suitemate played, so I've picked up most that I know about soccer from him.

ok well without being intentionally cruel, you need to play some full 90 minute games. i'm sure there's local clubs - bennisboy emigrated and found one quite quickly so it shouldn't be hard.

Even though they had superior numbers and were a better side Chelsea purposefully played a downbeat game.  They have an away goal and scored another one at home.  That means Benefica need 3 goals away from home to win.  That's near to impossible.  It was in chelsea's interests to stay back and make Benefica work, let them have possession and they will come forward in their pursuit of a goal which in turn will leave a gaping hole in their team defence which can be exploited via a swift counter attack and superior numbers.

Just because you are better doesn't mean you play better.  Chelsea used the conditions to their favour to draw out the game and make it difficult to play.  Boring to watch, yes.  Good tactics for champions league progression, fuck yes.

They only needed 2 goals (until the last minute goal by Chelsea) to go through with away goals.

Will watch the game tonight, sounded quite close towards the end.

We had a good tournament, but even I think we really don't stand a chance against Barca, the only way we'll win is if we park the bus at the nou camp for a 0-0 and park the bus at home for a 1-0 or penalties, as soon as we start attacking and leaving gaps Messi will do his thing.

Maybe once I leave college I'll consider it, but its not feasible as a college student. I'll consider trying out for the university club футбол team in the fall, but I'm doubtful I'd qualify.

Didn't Benfica only need two goals, since they'd advance from a 2-2 draw on away goals?

Was watching it in tandem with the Real Madrid domestic cup game. Was hard to concentrate on the Chelski game..

Dam Gomez messed up my prediction, good game though, both sides were pretty wasteful.

How many yellow cards does a player have to get over the course of the competition to incur the mandatory one match suspension?

Okay, thanks. I was just curious because Bayern had four players in danger, and then five once they switched Schweinsteiger out with Muller, which seemed like a lot.
