BVB looks like a team falling apart and Monaco may be a strong team but nothing extraordinary.
And why you think that happened ? Many foreign rich people invested loads of money on English Club. Germany never really had a financial crisis like we still have in Italy, and Barca and Real Madrid, are, and will always be too rich for any Italian Club, to compete with them. Also add that, we didn't had a good new generation of new players, like we always had in the past. All this put Serie A behind PL, La liga and German Bundesliga. Today we have 3 Club in semifinals, but unless rich people invest in Serie A, or Italy financial crisis ends, will be difficult for Serie A to go back on top, as we were in the past.
Btw, I never read anything nice from you about Italy and the Italian, so it's hard to believe, you have nothing against Italian football. But that's your problem ;)
I'm sure I did say at least one nice thing about Italy. I was delighted when they beat Germany in Euro 2012 semis for instance. I love Italy but I don't care for any Italian team in particular right now. I used to like Juventus back in the days of Pavel Nedved. But I also liked the Milan of Shevchenko and the Roma of Totti (at his peak). And I think Pirlo is a genius :p. And listening a whole stadium sing the Inno di Mameli gives me goose bumps for some reason :p. So I'd say I'm at least neutral.... as long Balotelli is not involved. My distaste for the guy knows no bounds :p.
EL draw:
Napoli-Dnipro
Fiorentina-Sevilla
Now waiting for CL draw...
Here's :
Juventus-Real Madrid
Barca-Bayern Munich
A Juventus-Bayern final would be great. I'm fed up with the spaniards and their rivalry. :devil:
gadjo, i love you ! :D
I've just became Juve's biggest fan.
