Its purely free agent spending without any team building at all. Is there a farm system for European football? the national teams of south america?  Don't forget Africa. |

Reserve teams have their own matches, there are multiple divisions within each national organization (English F.A. has about ten), players are loaned to lesser leagues - often in other countries, youth academies (some better than others) and so on. Yeppers - more extensive that baseball in the States. |

Van der Sar kept United in it and Ronaldo and Rooney put it away. They are some team. As much as I don't like them I'll give them all the credit in the world. My cousin and I watched the first half in a pizza restaurant at lunch. Behind us were a bunch of Irish guys watching the match over our heads. Turned around after a few minutes to see a bunch of AIG logos on their gear. *goshdarn* Mancky Wankies anyway. Then Mark (Reds fanboi) started piping up about how much United suck. Kinda scared me.  |

Liverpool hang on for a nice away draw (with away goal) having under 40% possession. Mascherano and Kuyt stand out big time. Strange how Gerrard doesn't show for some of these big matches. Still, he created the goal in his one moment to shine.
Great stuff. Riveting.
Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?

Didn't watch it but Chelsea caught a bad case of the Turkish.   Who's proper *fudge*ed now then? |

Yes, they hung on..... barely  . I've never thought much of Kuyt, but he was everywhere in that match. It was exciting to watch - a little slow starting the second half, but great otherwise (except for the outcome - grrrrrrrr). |
