Olympiakos v Lyon [R]

[fishbiproduct]

So....Should we have a thread?

Game starts in ~ 20mn

This is the starting team:

Coupet

Réveillère Cris Cacapa Abidal

Tiago Juninho Diarra

Govou Malouda

Carew


Subs:

Jérémy Berthod
Jérémy Clément
Fred
Sylvain Wiltord
Rémy Vercoutre
Benoît Pedretti
S. Monsoreau



Winning this would be nice, get done with this
qualification "business", but won't be easy.
A tie still assures straight qualification (I think,
depends on Rosenborg-Real game's result)

Ps: starting team according to RMC, as Eurosport
is giving Fred as starter instead of Carew...but I
don't think so.

Yikes! Goal Olympiacos by Babangida at
the third mn.
1-0

Olympiacos have 3 strikers up front, they have
no choice but to win this so....

Malouda misses a big chance...alone against Giannou

It is about bloody time Lyon get back into it. I know I am supposed to be cherring for lyon to lose so real madrid can move on up but Im a lyon fan as well so freak it, lol. Matter of fact. I am just a fan of good football and it is about time lyon start playing.

what a game... it's funny because this lyon team has changed so much... even 2 years ago, things would not have gone the way they have... but this year, i'm not nervous... i was not nervous at all when they were losing 1-0 because i knew they would push real hard now... and they did... and they executed real well to score 2 goals in the end of the 1st half... the stats show 6 shots for OL and 1 for olympiakos... so since the goal in the 3rd min, olympiakos has been shut down and OL is back... hopefully they will continue like this in the end 2nd half... you never know though with rivaldo and a filled olympiakos stadium... it could change in any direction... if lyon keeps it up, can't see how they will lose...

this half truly shows how lyon has become on of the biggest/best teams in europe over the past few years... lets make it 4 straight victories!!!

Thank's, ZiZouTrini

About time, yes, that's what I was thinking too ;)
They strugled a bit at first, Olympiacos came out
all attack but they won't keep that up.

What's up, allezPSG

That's how I feel as well. Somehow, they'll get back
in control, and so far, they do.

Back to the game, no changes

45 minutes from qualification. Lyon can be the first team qualified to the next stage. Excellent!

[fishbiproduct]

weird stat. of the day: there wasn't any corner-kick
in the first half, not one.

Govou just missed a good chance

[Tony the French]

For the moment, we can see a very attractive match !!

[Tony the French]

[Tony the French]

The same goal against Real :
