We're Bayern unlucky that around 50% of their shots weren't even on target. How about that fact that a lot of them were shots from inside the penalty area? God honestly, people making comparisons between football and starcraft. This is football, this is a game where luck is a factor, where weather conditions, a deflection, a red card can change it all. And it can happen in any game at any time. Football is not a statistics sport, there is not a correct way to play. Fucking get over your selves. | ||

Nope we pretty much only watch english teams in the CL, not the Premier games. In the CL Chelsea are easily the late goals team as far as I remember. | ||

If you never put a foot wrong, you'll never get carded. If you always manage to get yourself infront of the shot perfectly, the shot will never get deflected towards goal. Weather is the only luck factor but eh, | ||

Ashley Cole is known for his attacking moves and ability to get up the pitch, the past 3 games he has displayed an unparalled defensive display for someone of his position. | ||

But Chelsea would have been utterly stupid to play a style of football that there team was not suited to. Rather bland back 4 compared to what they're used to. Additionally the loss of strong midfield runners affected their strategy. You are right, but if attractiveness compromises your chances of winning then you seriously have to question what your goals actually are. | ||

What if the ball swerves in an unpredictable way? Goal line technology? Additionally, the human element? We make mistakes, we are not perfect entities. We are human and we can't act in robotic ways. | ||

But I do think losing gloriously is sometimes better than winning badly, in football. Different people are different. | ||

That's a very vague thing for me to capitalise on but if you make every tackle cleanly and get the ball either through stopping it completely / noticible ball direction change from the challenge in theory you should be fine. Ball swerving shouldn't be a factor because you'd have stopped the shot in the first place or read the shot better, as a goalie it's your job to stop that happening and learn the swerve patterns. Goal line technology is just horse shit on so many levels and I hate fifa / uefa. | ||
