Finals???

[ac_milan_foreva]

has anyone here thought about how boring finals are from a neutral point of view?
i mean lets look at all the recent big finals in europe

2004/2005 Uefa Cup Sporting: Cska Moscow (1:3) I guess both teams did ok but there were no world class players to make the game a memorable one. i give it a score of 4/10

2004 Euro
Portugal: Greece (0:1) A very boring game as this didnt have the making of a big final. :tired:

2003-2004 Uefa Cup final
Valencia- Marseille :yawn: not that great as valencia was much better and it wasnt an even game

2003-2004 CL Final
Porto: Monaco 3:0 Not a very likely final and the 2 smaller clubs didnt put on that good of a show. it was not an even game

2002-2003 Uefa Cup final
Porto: Celtic (3:2) That was probably a good final but there were no real stars on display.

2002-2003 CL final
Milan: Juvenus :3band: :3band: :5schal: we can all agree it was a memorable night and a great win, but it wasnt a pretty game...

2002 World cup
Brazil germany 2:0 The germans never came close to the brasilians.

2001-2002 Uefa Cup

Feyenoord 3-2 BV Borussia Dortmund- I didnt watch the game but i dont think it was a memorable final but still a good one.

2001-2002 CL final

Real- Leverkusen 2:1 other then the zidane volley the game wasnt the most brilliant one.

WILL THIS TREND keep going???

however there is another pattern. smaller teams make it to the finals.

i miss finals like:
milan- real, milan- Barcelona, milan-manchester, milan- chelsea, juventus- real, juventus- Barca, juventus- manchester
Inter will never make it to a final so i can just skip them :nana:
Real- Bayern,,, real- manchester real- chelsea manchester-bayern ETc.. etc..
and in the national teams finals like:
argentina brazil.. brazil germany (however germany at its best not the germany of 2002)... italy germany... italy brazil... spain italy... spain brazil etc. etc. (i didnt mention england cuz i kind of hate their national team).

now we get finals such as:
Porto: Monaco
Porto: Celtic
Cska: Sporting
Portugal: greece

i have nothing against smaller teams, but the big teams are the ones that make the show great.

Very true.

Although I would say the Porto-Celtic game was also tainted by Porto's playacting, its like all of them had an Inzaghi in them for that match. Terrible :groan:

Finals these days are getting boring. The only 'recent' finals that have been entertaining - that I can recall - is MU-Munich and 'Pool-Alaves (UEFA Cup. Was it Alaves though? Dont remember)

[ac_milan_foreva]

the bottom line is there is too much money invlolved. the pressure is really on and no one risks it.

I don't care as long as we win them ;)

[meazza]

did you miss it? haha sorry.

for a 0-0 it was really really good, goal line clearances, great movement, skill, tons of chances (all for man u)

You should take a good look at nedved first. his playacting better than none. :howler:

:lazy:

Meazza the game was fairly ok ... MU had their chances and personally I feel that it was MU that was cracking, not the final itself

Or maybe thats just my hatred for Arsenal speaking

i found it really exciting, it just had that energy about it.

I loathe arsenal too though and the result was a terrible shame.
