WHAT !!!!! are you crazy!!!!!

What's wrong bill, can't handle the truth?!

LOL - This forum has way too many foreigners. We should open it up and allow Spanish speaking posters.

That is true. You also should know when you're walking into a troll. I have no care for either nation's team. But to the topic, I have no hesitation in saying we would easily handle Lyon...

If it makes you feel better Bill... Spain is > everyone on the NT level without a doubt. Tile holder for Euro and WC. No way anyone can say otherwise.

Frankly, i'd consider it a success for France NT got out of the group stage at the Euro. We're rebuilding from scratch and, despite the talent, these things take a tournament to get sorted out. If we keep the group mostly for the WC... i expect more success there.

We have a chance at the Euro... just not very likely. Spain, Germany and the Netherlands are clear favorites.

I think its about time we record a win at the Stade Gerland!

I don't think it will be an easy game since away games can always spring up some surprises no matter how messed up the other teams are.

I've thought this for last Euro and WC. In both cases I thought they had an easy group and wouldn't do much against better teams, but they have a habit of coming through. Wasn't it them that upset Brasil in WC? In any event I been saying it should be between Spain and Germany, but you also need the luck of the draw to have them remain apart until the final.

Given Ukraine and Poland take 2 of the seeds and there are only 4 groups. Spain and Germany take the other 2 seeds. That leaves Netherlands, Italy, France, England, Portugal perhaps, etc. that can all get either Germany or Spain. And since you have France in tier 4... you will very possibly have 3 top teams in a group.

Because of Ukraine and Poland, the draw is even more critical for Euro 2012.

Yeh, same thing happened last time with Switzerland and Austria. I would like to see the host country not to be seeded or at a bare minimum not to allow 2 countries to co-host.

Especially if both countries are very poor in terms of European NT hierarchy. I hope luck works out so you don't have a complete crap group and a complete killer one... it would be a shame frankly.

I agree, that's why you need a little luck as well.

With only 16 teams, it's too much to have 2 weaker countries take up seeds let alone tournament spots. It's not quite as bad for WC with 32 teams, but I do object to weaker countries getting a seed. They still could be given preferential dates and stadiums without needing a seed spot.

We've never won in Gerland. Lyon are always good at home so I agree with Sport here in that it'll be much more competitive.

Really hope we take them to the cleaners though.

i dont know, i just dont think they are good enough

i mean they have struggled to get any clean sheets this season, not really something to go buy, lyon in previous years have been our vodoo nightmare because of their solid defence, i cant say the same thing about them this year

kallstrom the guy who was going to pull this team up after juninho left, isnt really tactically good enough to deal with our midfield not to mention he is very slow, if they cant get a strong midfield ready come wednesday i wont be suprised if we win by another 4-0 margin

Also I really want Higuain to start this game. Lyon's back line leaves so much space you could drive a bus between their lines. Pipa is bound to score in those conditions.

Agreed, not only Pipa to start but also Ozil.

This game will not be easy to win i fear we'll suffer injuries if we play Benz, Kaka or our other key players. Besides, it's not a decisive game so we can settle for a draw.

Lyon won their last game at home i heard

goucruff MOTM??? lol

bastos injured....how many times should he be injured against us ffs, this is like the 3rd time in 4 meetings he has gotten an injury prior to our game

they had to play with 10 men yesterday so they might be abit tired compared to our guys who were sleepwalking yesterday

cissokho got a little rest however as he only played a half

Line-ups??

benzema will probably start ahead of higuain the rest would be the same as the one that started against malaga, i suppose

is that what your heart says???

Higuain would do a better job than him, we only need a comfy 1-0 victory to win, not in a hurry or anything

so putting in a "creative" benzema is just waste of resources, when you have higuain who would guarantee to give you a goal so that we can play the boring posession football for the next [insert min] minutes

winning against lyon would mean guaranteed first place

so varane could start the remaining games as well as some canteranos like joselu for example

Not my heart. I think Benz is a better all around player than Higuain (others disagree; no argument please lol)... Mou rates them evenly. It's Benz' turn. Expect Pipita around the 70-75 min mark. Not to mention that Benz has 2 goals and 2 assists in 3 games... so he's owning CL again.

Of course, it would be great to see them both playing together. But since we're doing that super-pressure scheme every game now, the starter will burn out early to mid 2nd half of every game pretty much. CF is putting in a lot of defensive effort for us.

higuain "guarantees" a goal?im pretty sure it doesnt work like that.

I really dont get why people act as if Benz doesnt/cant score btw,if Benz plays the chances of goals being scored are actually better since he gets much more involved in the build up play instead of just scoring.

finally someone else said it, ever since the hattrick's everybody act like higs is the god of goals, every time he kicks the ball its a goal or something smh, and benz play making,passing and finishing is below average so he should never start, sometimes i wonder who is got the more delusional fanboys Very Happy
