Manchester United - Zalaegerszeg TE [R]

Second half underway. No changes for either team.

 

RVN earns a PK, Ilic sent off, RVN takes it (after it looked like Forlan was going to take it)...

4-0, United.

 

I thought it might go away if nothing was said...

 

Forlan goal disallowed for offside. Snake. Bitten.

 

Ole makes it 5-0.

Forlan shot saved.

 

indeed. poor forlan.

5-0. i sure am enjoying this.....

 

FT, 5-0.

Draw for the first round of group stages, 10am ET, Thursday.

 

Great result. However, too bad for Diego, having the ball taken away from him on the Penalty & then having his goal disallowed. Keep working Diego.

 

Scholes out for at least two weeks with an ankle injury. Here's a link:

Scholes injury

 

23 shots for United, 10 of which were on target. An impressive display, especially considering the importance of the game. It's a good sign that United's thriving on the pressure again this year.

 

Re: Full lineups

Doesn't look like Fergie's got much experience coming off the bench. Pretty confident of a win, eh?

 

All in all, it sounds like it was a great display of soccer. Too bad nobody in the US had an opportunity to see it.

 

Re: Re: Full lineups

He had the goalscorers he needed on the bench if he had needed another goal, though. I don't think he envisioned wanting to bunker to protect a lead against this side.
