Aftermath of the Real Madrid – Bayern Munich Semi Final
Posted on 26 Apr, 2012, by Peter in SoccerCristiano Ronaldo was the hero for 14 minutes. The best player in the world again. But Bayern Munich were the better team through the 90 minutes, deserving more than just one goal for how they cancelled Real Madrid at home in their second leg. Justice?

Posted on 18 Apr, 2012, by Peter in SoccerDidier Drogba isn’t having one of his best season. In fact, it’s probably his worst since he began his Chelsea career. But all that didn’t matter.

Jose Mourinho Doesn’t Have Much to Complain About
Posted on 18 Apr, 2012, by Peter in SoccerJose Mourinho did what his instincts tell him. The instincts that have helped him win two Champions League titles in the past. You go for the kill at home. Away, even if you’re Real Madrid, you play cautiously. Probably too cautiously, losing to Bayern Munich with a last gasp goal from Mario Gomez. In the big picture, Real are in pretty good shape. More
