Champions League predictions.... (soccer)
So the semi-finals of the champions league look like this:
Man United vs AC Milan (Tuesday 24th April) (1st leg) Prediction - 2-0
Chelsea vs Liverpool (Wednesday 25th April) (1st leg) Prediction - 1-2
Liverpool vs Chelsea (Tuesday 1st May) (2nd leg) Prediction - 2-0
AC Milan vs Man United (Wednesday 2nd May) (2nd leg) Prediction - 1-1
Those predictions are just based on current performances and random guessing
Lets see who gets it closest.

I would love to see Chelsea vs. Man U in the final and if you look at things, that's really how it should end up. United is without Saha, Neville and vidic and Patrice Evra has just returned to full fitness but they have good back up like any top team.
Chelsea have really looked unstoppable since the loss to liverpool back in January and i see them going on to take the whole thing out. Their only injury is Arjen Robben, but again, they have superb back especially since the return of Joe Cole who can take the left mid spot.
I can definitely see Liverpool pulling off the minor upset and progressing to the final and especially with the form that crouch has shown in the last few weeks. They have a very strong defense so if you're a chelsea man you'd probably want the good post christmas Shevchenko to show up and not the Highly anticipated summer transfer version.
I don't really follow italian football (if there's a game on TV i'll watch it - but i don't seek it out like i do the EPL) but from what i've seen from Milan, they have a very good team (which is obvious since they've made it this far). But after Man U's anhiliation of Roma, another Serie A side, you have to give the edge to them.
This is so hard to predict I'm just gonna go by aggregate rather than on leg at a time
Man u 4, Milan 3
Liverpool 2, Chelsea 3
Like i said, it's just so hard to pick. All i can say is that i think Milan definately Won't be in the final.

I think the best outcome would be Munure V Liverpool, purely for the magnitude of historic significance. They are Englands two European greats over the last 50 years coming head to head in the final for the first time, both sets of supporters will realise that the game will be talked about until the day they die and the thought of being on the losing side at the end of the night will keep waking them up in a cold sweat every night until the game
As for Chelsea, who gives a f##k? They have no history, no style, nothing; they are the anti-football. They are nothing but a £300m squad made to play like Bolton

It's funny how views on chelsea are either "love or hate", there's no inbetween with that club. What they DO have is a very expensive and over paid squad and (obviously) alot of cash to splash around. So i don't see what the problem is in spending all that money to make a good team.

The reason behind the dislike of Chelsea is the fact that the mob have taken them over, spilled cash into them, give them a highly qualified manager and yet they still have players diving everywhere *cough* Drougba *cough*

Also, have you ever tried to watch them play? I can't honestly say the only time I've managed to watch more than 10 minutes straight of a Chelsea game was when they lost to Man U. They are the most unimaginitive team ever to have won a trophy of any description (even McLaren's Middlesbrough had a plan B of 1-4-5 when they were losing)

Most professionals dive. I sometimes get frustrated at the slightest bit of contact and a player goes down.

Chelsea are an absolute bore to watch. It's true. Real Madrid give them a run for their money.
I gave up watching the world cup after Italy dived to get a penalty against Australia. That has got to be the most shameful thing I have ever seen. Then they went and won. Absolute joke.

Yep, same here mate. I couldn't stand to watch the rest of the world cup after the way Australia was eliminated. Can't wait for the next one though!

Yeah. For some reason I'll always keep on watching it. The fact that I am half Australian and my girlfriend at the time was half Italian made it pretty funny.

Lol, mate i'm full australian and i stayed up especially to watch that match. I remember as soon as that penalty went in i got up and text messaged "FUK!" to about 20 mates. Haha, they knew exactly what i was talking about lol. I took pleasure in watching Totti's team failing the other night.

Yeah, I was born their but live in GB. It sucked here, because nobody understood why I was so bummed off. It seemed to be that by the semis, the teams were there purely on luck. Actual joke.

I would have loved to see Man U win it. Had they had this starting lineup, we could have seen Man U beat AC and reach the CL final.
VDS
Neville (was out injured), Rio (was injured), Vidic (played injured) and Evra (was suspended)
Ronaldo, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs
Rooney, Saha
PS: Each of the members of the Man U back 4 were voted in the EPL team of the year, and their loss for the AC match was a HUGE loss for the team.

What score do you predict for the final? I predict a 2-1 for AC Milan.
