Game on! stupid windows media player is acting up so I'm having to download it. Live text seems to indicate that Arsenal has had a few chances.
Everyone must be listening... Early play has Arsenal dominating possesion, but Kiev stretching the defense on counters--as one might expect. Still 0-0 at about 15 minutes
sounds like arsenal is just crushing them on possession, but they're keeper keeps saving the opportunites
40' Henry (Arsenal) misses the target. 40' Pires (Arsenal) misses the target. The 30-year-old turns brilliantly in the midfield and races forward, but his shot skims just wide. 39' Arsenal pile forward yet again and only last-ditch defensive tackles deny Henry, Ljungberg and Touré. ___________________________________________ DAMN! Why can't we score a goal in CL?!
Normally I'd say that Kiev can't keep this up for 90 minutes, but considering the recent Arsenal CL form, its not out of the question.
And there you have it, nil-nil at intermission. Arsenal Kiev 6 Shots on goal 2 12 Attempts on goal 3 11 Fouls committed 5 5 Corners 0 63% Ball possession37% 12 goal attempts, 6 on target, 5 corners!, 63% possession and no goals.
Bergkamp and Pires each had a chance! Also the announcers said they think Edu is a bit unlucky to miss out on starting.
We're not supposed to post results of other matches? I can live with that, but what the hell is going on with Monaco-Deportivo, and we can't score one lousy goal!?!?
