[Adrian]

First half....very helpful to sleep

[Adrian]

where barcelona team was tonight?

[Inulka]

Great Milan! Yeah!

[Leb Yellow Butterfly]

Of course Nada and Paprika sometimes they try to be cool....

we are the coolest sisters and even do one thing that you dislike

While Paprika, hmmm yeah she likes Football, goes to see any match here and there, but yeah, nothing special.....

I will not comment, Paprika had a cool reply to this, lol@wanna-be, sis !

Actually I have always said it, Nada is an excellent girl, she knows everything about Football
and all the rest...always said it, definitely

are you saying this because I was supporting Milan tonight??
hehe thanks Elton, im flattered! and once again Congratssssss to Milan!

the game in Camp nou will be very exciting as the Cataloniens will fight for their pride at home, whereas the italians will fight to complete today's victory with another one that books their place to the QF... can't wait, God I love european football!

[therocker]

Ciao Paprika.... I am so sorry Barcelona didn't win, as you may have wished.....
Nada, did I give you that impression ???? You are leaving me speechless, I am not that kind of guy....

[YNWA]

Ciao, my friend Actually, I didn`t watch the game, but I was happy for Milan, cause a colleague of mine is a huge fan... so seeing him happy, made me happy too

Sorry, my phone is off, means I can`t return calles and messages... I am in a group with other people, and whomever didn`t pay his/her tax, they cut us all... Blah.. Bulgarian style..

and the BVB fans particularly are just so crazy about their team and you can feel their loyalty and passion to Borussia Dortmund with the way they are dressed, the way they put the whole stadium on fire through their non stop chants and absolute enthusiasm... interesting!

I don't know if the german fans are the most passionate ones in Europe but BVB is something very special. It is said that the people in the VIP lounges just go to the matches to see the fans at the southern stage celebrating.
Jürgen Klopp said in an interview that the view of the southern stage is something you can't get used to. It gives him chills every time when he enters the stadium.

wow, Westfalenstadion should be on my to-do list!

Actually, I am very impressed by german ultras scene lately. I follow what is happening there, plus.. the whole "war" with the German football union. Not to mention the wonderful choreos. Last thing I was checking was Dinamo Dresden ultras

But Hans, another thing concerting ultras AND your fav team. I`ve understood there are some fans of BMönchengladbach, who are in a critical condition, after being snabbed by Lazio ultras. Prayers for them...

I hate all the knives and weapon using... That is NOT ULTRA! Hands free

[Hans]

I know I'm late, but better late than never.

The biggest surprise had been the win of Milan. Congratulations Elton, this time just like last year I crossed my fingers for Milan. I hope they can make it in the Camp Nou. Maybe one early goal and it's becoming real tough for Barca.

Not that I have something against Barca, they are for sure the best team in the world right now. But always Barca, Barca, Barca ... that's becoming boring. Just as boring as the Bundesliga right now. It seems nobody can stop Bayern, #2 and #3 will be Dortmund and Leverkusen.

Hi Curry, unfortunately this is a problem nearly all football teams have, that's nothing particular italian. And of course we all know that it has nothing to do with Ultras (even some of these 'fans' call themselves Ultras). Just let's pray for the injured fans that they will recover soon.

[YNWA]

Oh, yess... I`ve never said it`s only in Italy. We, in Bulgaria, have the very same problem. Not to mention Serbia, Greece, Turkey, Russia...

It`s absolutely not ULTRA, but it is, in most of the times, on that football/fan/supporter level. Stealing a banner, humiliating a foreign guests in your city, showing who`s better hooligan or simply just following some extreme philosophy - left or right. Ugly picture! Problematic children or already adults may be, with problematic behaviour, who found a certain ultra stand a perfect place to escalate their aggression... Sadly, the knivers are wearing the colors of the team, but they have never ever been really interested in the history, in the club, in the legends... It`s only about the aggression there... Not real fans for sure...

I read everyday some similar stories, but I mentioned this particular one, cause, while reading it, I immediately though that it`s your club..

Not that I have something against Barca, they are for sure the best team in the world right now. But always Barca, Barca, Barca ... that's becoming boring. Just as boring as the Bundesliga right now.

Exactly my point, that's wut makes me cross my fingers for teams that play against Barca... some change is needed here...(I would be also disappointed if Spain wins the next WC or EC)

[Hans]

I guess it's time right now to talk again about football. Who - apart from me - will follow the German Classico (Bayern - Dortmund) tonight?

..me if i find a tv channel to watch it

[Leb Yellow Butterfly]

I did too, and....yes I am simply happy
can't wait for both teams to play in the next CL games..

[Adrian]

not a spectacular match.....but bayern deserved to win this game, and finally a beautiful goal of Robben!!!!

[Hans]

yes, you are right, that was not event football, but from a tactical point of view this match was brilliant. But that's not always the most attractive for the fans.
Nevertheless Bayern deserved to win. And maybe these teams will meet again in the Champions League.

[Leb Yellow Butterfly]

and tomorrow we go back to the CL action, starting with BVB..

go Borussia! the goal scored in Ukraine puts them ahead...they need to make sure Shaktar doesnt score in Dortmund..and then to have a well synchronized and controlled game where they score early and dont commit stupid deadly mistakes... thats all they need...come on! (am i a good coach? )

hopefully they will be the first to book their pass to the QF...

[Adrian]

...waiting for Manchester-real madrid

[Adrian]

borussia won 3-0!!!!!!
real 2-1........but i think referee helped real with the red card for Nani (manchester)

[Hans]

the game of this round of the last 16 had been undoubtly Real - ManU. Congratulations to Real, even they were not necessarily the better but for sure the luckier team. But everybody needs luck if he wants to win a trophy. Even Spain needed luck in the last three major tournaments.
And yes, BVB is now again in the quarter finals. The first time since (I guess) 15 years. Let's see who waits for them there.
My predictions for tonight are: Juve and Paris will make it (I guess that is not so hard to predict)
Next week Bayern and Schalke will follow. But I'm curious who will make it from the last matches: Milan / Barca and Porto/Malaga. What do you say?

[Leb Yellow Butterfly]

Milan and Malaga I would say

[Leb Yellow Butterfly]
