AC Milan's game on the weekend spelled the end of David Beckham's World Cup. He ruptured his achilles and doctors say he will make a full recovery but it will take 5-8 months. Sorry David...
Manchester United v AC Milan 1:30 central Fox Soccer Channel Today Goldenballs (David Beckham) returns to Old Trafford to try and overturn a 3-2 defeat against his old club Manchester United. Although all English eyes will be on David anyone with real knowledge of the game will be watching Ronaldinho (who has had a hand in 24 of Milan's 42 goals this season) and Rooney who has never been in better form and scored two of the three in Milan. This should be an excellent game as Milan have to attack and I have never really known United to sit back.
Real Madrid v Lyon 4:00 central on FSC The roller coaster first season of big spenders Real Madrid is really starting to reach the heights they should on a much more consistent basis. Although Lyon is a tough opponent, I really see Madrid overturning the 1-0 loss in Lyon. There is amazing talent in this game that will be display with arguably two of the worlds best in Ronaldo and Kaka.
Arsenal (without Cesc Fabregas) went completely balls to the wall and ran over FC Porto like Wayne Rooney playing against a 5 year old. The much maligned (not be me) Nicklas Bendtner had a hat trick with Nasri and Eboue adding one each. Bayern Munich came back in a match I swore they were done in and I was all but ready to throw in the towel for them...good thing Im not Luis Van Gaal. Van Bommel and a blast from Robben brought them to 3-2 on the night making the tie 4-4 and Bayern through on away goals.
Today Arsenal tries to overturn a 2-1 defeat against FC Porto at the Emirates, and Fiorentina see if they can get better refereeing against Bayern to turn over a likewise 2-1 deficit. both games are on Fox Soccer Channel and coverage starts at 1:30 central. Enjoy!
