English STream!

FORZA JUVE

jesus....be with us

well done Pogba....
Shakatr are brilliant!

shit!!!!!!
so close!

Giovinco COME ON

chelsea with two penalties -__- talk about buying refs..........

2-0 Chelsea

Great first half from Juve!
We are pinning back SHaktar in their own half!

Smells like 0-0 we are shooting liek we are training the gk

Gio + Vuci finally WORKS !

if only Giovinco had some killer instinct... He wastes much possession

vucinic is still too slow..but has good touches...and were the hell are asamoah and licht....?
they are nowhere when we attack

this is no 3-5-2..this is 5-3-2..cuz the wingers don't attack shit

Licht has done well, Asamoa on the other side....


I will say again it smells like 0-0 like they've agreed on a draw. Gio just misses open goal, than he shoots fom 40m with a shot that was more of a cross, pogba instead of shooting an open goal he passed it to asamoa i.e. their gk...

my commentator said something about chiellini injury....some muscles problems and that caceres is to come on...(that why he was warming up)
..has anybody else hear that??

This is tense, we're playing better but need to have scored. Was a Penalty and Kucher should be off the pitch.

We are playing wayyyy better than last time we are pushing them back and carving out great opportunities. Only need to score.

you have to understand...if this result stands, we are through to the next round...
There is no need for the wingers to risk it & get caught out of position...
The team is doing brilliantly thus far, Shaktar has only had 1 opportunity compare to our 7....
