in France, it will be close

I bet Lyon will score a goal then Roma will equalize in like the 70s

1-1 Roma go through on away goals

I say 2-1 Lyon, with Roma pressing them like hell but falling agonizingly short.

ya I have a feeling Roma will knock Lyon out for some reason.. seems like they could be one of those dark horses this year

I have that same feeling about Lyon.

Lyon? a darkhorse?

Sorry, I should elaborate...

I have a feeling that they are going to go further than they have in the past and maybe win it all, despite the fact that many people don't give them a lot of credit.

You would be surprised at the number of people who would consider Lyon a dark horse, simply due to the lack of knowledge of French football.


So I don't think they are a dark horse. I think they are on the verge of having their breakthrough to the finals or winning it all, which hasn't happened for them yet. They are due.

It's true. Lyon have been massively underrated in the past few years. I think they will go through to the next stage, they have a solid team and the quality for it.

I agree, I think Lyon can go very far. There team is solid and play some nice football. Too bad they sold Carew though, he was pretty damn good for them. Not only that but they have a pretty deep squad too.

True enough, although he wasn't getting much time this year and only had 1 goal in 9 apps (7 starts). Plus, Houllier has always like Baros.

I always thought that he fit their playing style, pretty good in the CL at least. Always played good against us, bastard:(.

BTW anyone else seen the Gilardino dive? Holy **** nearly died of laughter. That was gold.

why did you have to remind me? I flipped the **** out watching that, so ******* pointless and stupid, I'd bench him for the rest of the CL if I were Carlo :nape:

The best/most hilarious part is that as Thelonious said he would have scored if he did not do that. Thanks for posting the youtube clip(Y)

That's more like it (Y)

I had Lyon as one of the favorites to win it all before the CL started, although I'm getting the Roma vibe as well for some reason. Lyon just hasn't played as well this year as they were doing all of last year. The return leg will be a hell of a game for sure.

Lyon sold Carew? Where did he go? They have Baros now??? When did all of this happen :|?

BAHAHAHAHA at the Gilardino dive, what a discraceful bastard. How can you call yourself a professional athlete doing that s*it? and the c*nt was complaining afterwards as if he had a case :|
