[Champions League] JUVENTUS 1-1 Bordeaux (Sep. 15th 2009) (8 Viewers)

C'mon,it's a french league we're talking about.....

True that. We are at least a class above Bordeaux and big favourites. If it was Lyon as our opponents, it would be a different story because they have experience of playing against European giants. It won't be an easy ride though!

Trezeguet or Iaquinta?

Iaq without a shadow of doubt. Rested and in red hot form.

 

[JuveJay]

No, who is worth more points in Scrabble?

Anyways, they are the current champions of that league and should not be taken lightly.
Last year we were fanous for dropping points against the supposedly weaker teams. Understimate a french champion in CL would be ahuge mistake.

Said that, we play in our home, we are in form and we have what its needed to beat them no doubt.-

My starting 11 would be

Buffon(C)

Caceres - Legro - Cannavaro - Grosso

Marchisio - Melo - Tiago

Giovinco
​

Iaquinta - Amauri ​

i think we will see camo instead of tiago, cos we will need all the creativity we can get to break bordeaux defence

 

[Azzurri7]

I think we'll see him too but I wouldn't start him.

ESPN are showing a replay of the match on Wednesday at 2pm

Ah ok sweet. Sounds good! :flag1:

but a lineup with both melo marchisio plus tiago is too defensive for a home game
also the absence of diego will affect us, he makes himself available for others to pass the ball to him and then works his magic ( giovinco disappear sometimes)

Giovinco has had 20 mins here, 45 mins there. How can you accurately say that he "disappears" sometimes when even our best players seem to be ghosts in some games. He is no different.

I see espn is not broadcasting any CL games, where can we catch the game in the US?

I think Fox gave them the big flusher for rights this season. I see they are on FSC and Setanta, for example.

Yep, here you go, boys.

On Dish Network, FSC is running a free promo at the moment. So I have to solve that problem later. :frown:

You know, I may as well protest CL coverage in the U.S. in general (they all suck) and go all-Internet. I sure as hell don't want to pay for lame coverage.

That's probably the most likely scenario.

Wait, what? You don't have FSC on your regular package?

FSC is airing the matches, and also reruns of some, more than what ESPN did.

They're showing Milan - Marseille tomorrow and Liverpool - Debrecen Wednesday ( ), but they should be more willing than ESPN to show Juve vs. Bayern, for instance. And if not, fuck 'em.

Now, the only potential problem is if ESPN360 won't have the games. They had multiple selections and it was free.

 

[swag]

FSC is part of a 250+ package. I have a 200, and I ain't chipping another $10 a month for their lousy announcers.

Even if my thighs are creaming at the thought of watching the Champions League without hearing that shriveled-up chipmunk, Tommy Smythe, open his wood-chipper to espouse about onion bags.

 

[Bjerknes]

That's another reason why I remain hopeful with FSC, but I can see them screwing it up.
