OT: Is anyone watching AC Milan vs. Arsenal?

It's halftime now, but Arsenal has put themselves in a position to pull off the unlikely comeback.  After going down 4-0 in the first leg at the San Siro, Arsenal would have to score at least five in the second leg today--without conceding--to advance to the next round.

Well the Gunners have come out swinging, netting their first goal 5 or so minutes after kickoff.  After 45 minutes of play, Arsenal is up 3-0 (down only 4-3 on aggregate).  With Milan pressing to get the all-important away goal (which would change the complexion of the match), it has been a wide open affair, with the pace of the match slowed only by questionable officiating.  Sets up nicely for a thrilling second half.

That one has been a serviceable backup.

I don't know if this was a problem in the first half, but Milan is giving up too much space in the center MF area.  Aresenal MF players are able to just run with the ball without anyone closing down on them.

I can't believe he did that.  That is something I expect from Torres.  Not RVP.

I don't really like Arsenal but I find myself rooting for them just because of how epic this comeback would be. I am thinking Milan has to score at some point though.

My cable provider just added Fox Soccer and I am loving it. First half was crazy. But not as crazy as that Abiatti save. Incredible. I want Arsenal to add another as I want to see some overtime or penalties.

I definately root for Arsenal in the EPL, their passing style and their emphases on youth system is very similar to Barcelona.

A healthy midfield of Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, and Alex Song is scary good. 

 

And of course as I type that Alex Song makes 2 bad decisions in a row.

meh.  We've won it the past 3 seasons.  Can't win it every year, and we've sustained huge injuries thir year (Iniesta, Villa, Alexis, Affelay, Xavi, Puyol, Adriano)

 

As an aside, im afraid we have drastically different transfer market hopes.  I dont ever want Robin Van Persie (or Neymar for that matter) on Barca. The dude is good but he's so streaky.  And he's a dick.  I'd much rather we continue to promote youngsters like Cristian Tello, Isaac Cuenca, Gerard Delofeu, and Sergi Samper.

Either Barca and RM will win La Liga until things change because it has become a two team league.

Teams that used to "contend" for the title had to off load good players so that they can stay afloat.

Good effort gunners.  If you didn't absolutely crap the bed @ the San Siro, it would be a different match.  Instead, the season of shame for the EPL in the UCL continues.

Italian is my favorite. Mostly because my roommates and I did a Manager Mode in Fifa 08 and started out with Lecce and took them to incredible heights. None of us know a lick about soccer strategy but we had a great time with it. But my favorite team across Europe is Wolverhampton and it just developed that way because it was easier to find information about the Wolves than it was for Lecce because of the language barrier. But my mom's family is Italian and I just like to stick to the roots for the msot part.

Song just blew what could have been a great chance for a goal. Had options on his right or left and was just....I don't even know what he did or was thinking but it wasn't good.

They may have lost on aggregate, but I hope the Gunners throw their support behind Wenger.  He may be a dick sometimes but he is a helluva manager and knows how to mold young players into some of the world's best.

I feel the same way about him.  Like Barca, Arsenal has a really good youth program.

A bit anticlimactic in the end.  Milan hunkered down and defended and Arsenal seemed to move away from what was working in the first half.  Van Percie will be thinking about his point blank chance for the equalizer against Abbiati, who was on the ground and came up huge in the end.  3-0 is your final.  Milan are through.
