I was only kidding about the prize thing) and liked some of their players. The lad Diarra from Pompey looks like an excellent buy and reminded me a bit of Sissoko, but not as good although I'm biased as I always really liked Momo. The centre half who's name has already escaped me (very short name, quite tall with short/no hair) was excellent, and Robben fairly obviously retains a lot of the ability he had while at Chelsea. The long haired fella in midfield (Argentinian I think) wouldn't cut it in England, and should have been sent off for his assault on Riera. Hienz isn't the player he was and it's easy to see why Man Utd got rid, while Raul is a shadow of the player I remember, and I didn't think much to his strike partner either.
In no way boring though. It was a very polished performance by us, I thought we were excellent.
Another thing, I did notice that madrid like us were very reluctant to get sheer numbers into the box. I do think that in five years time everyone will be doing it, and the slightly more cautious style by then will be obsolete in most leagues.
Really good game though, and I shoudl think we'll win again at Home. 1-0 once more.
If he'd brought Stevie on earlier I'd have got the scorer as well.
Fex sake
