Man United 4 - 1 Prague.

van Nistelrooy scored all 4 goals. 2 of them we're very good, he went around the keeper for No. 1, and scored a lob with No. 3!
IMO, 2 of his goals were a gift from opponent's defender, one was from penalty spot and the last one was scored at off-side position.

anyway, scoring is not easy anymore nowaday, not too many player can socre 4 in a match. credit should be given to him :thumb:

Totti escapes stomp sanction wtfff???
SBS

AS Roma skipper Francesco Totti will not face any disciplinary action despite stomping on Bayer Leverkusen defender Carsten Ramelow during the Champions League clash at the Stadio Olimpico.

The Giallorossi forward appeared to stomp Ramelow after he was upended by the Leverkusen defender.

Referee Lucilo Baptista cautioned Totti for the incident and hence no further action can be taken.

"The incident was seen by the referee and the player was shown a yellow card. This cannot be overruled," a spokesperson for UEFA said

Rubbish.

First Mutu's ridiculously short ban, now this. How is this showing that the authorities aren't going to accept drugs and dirty play in football?

I knew about this rule before, that if a referee has mentioned an incident in his match report, further action can't be taken. That rule should be changed though, because a lot of the time referees are very lenient, not wanting matches to spill over and out of control.

Actually, the tackle was shite too, but definitely didn't warrant a two-footed stomp
