damn you had to make it right after I get back, had a nice prematch thread made that took 40 minutes to make....
I expect this to be intense as usual. Throwback to me at the Ruhrderby last year (I'm not in the pics)..... wish I was there again this year!
AWESOME! Dunno about you guys, but I'm expecting much the same result as the march last year at the Westfalenstadion. We're going to be quite defensive, perhaps if we take our chance we can pinch a goal. It's probably going to be a 1-0 result either way, if not 0-0. ...hope i'm wrong though
This game will be a good test for Juventus, I expect a similar approach from the opposition. I'm a little nervous and have a bad feeling about this game, mostly because Schalke didn't play in midweek and will be more fresh.
We didn't run as much. In fact we had more possession than Juventus which IS a possession based team. Also we pressed in midfield as opposed to the opposition third. If we do lose or draw then fatigue shouldn't be used as an excuse. Besides not playing midweek means S04 also lacks match practice.

I'm not entirely sure how we are still in this game..but we are, so that's nice. KPBoateng about as useful as pubic hair.
