Urawa Red Diamonds (N) | CWC Semi-Final | Pre-Match Thread

[I'm Blue]

Should be beating these……if we reach the final : )

After watching this game, I think this should be easy trophy for City.

Just one small detail - Liverpool weren't playing Fluminense that day.

Flamengo weren't it lol my mistake they were just as bad anyway.

Decision time now. Watching Girona is really fun, but Rooney might get hammered tonight.

I think the semi-final might be a little tougher than the final.

Best team lost there but Fluminese are a decent side. Will be a tough final if we make it.

Easy? We ‘should’ win comfortably, but ‘should’ also hang onto a 2 goal lead.
I’m taking nothing for granted on our recent form.

Having watched Red Diamonds and now Flumiense I have to strongly disagree.

All good then.

All good then.

It’s just that Red Diamonds constantly gave the ball away and looked very disorganised.

I think Flu were nervous in the first half but passed Ahly to death in the second when they relaxed and took their chances.

They will try every trick in the book against us if we get to the final.

I think we’ll contain Fluminense quite easily. We just need to beat Urawa first.

What are the odds on a streaker at this tournament?

Next to nil. They would get shot out there.

I hope you are right. We will need the first goal V Flu. If Red Diamonds beat us something has seriously gone wrong.

Wonder if TOJ has made the trip.

These Fluminese players do seem to spend a lot of time on their arses or rolling around on the floor.

Are they related to members of The Arsenal team....?

Tough opponents this lot. We're the big scalp. They are decent up front as well. I'd take 1-1 right now.....

have you seen us take penalties

Was a decent night. The Egyptians were fanatical until the goals went in and then cleared off.

The taxi ride was fine, the traffic was like wacky races ..took about 20 mins on approach to drop off point about the same getting through the checks.

This is my take on 90min, in BR Portuguese, about how Fluminense is a “Secular Religion” to me and to our millions of fans. We have made it to the Club World Cup Final, probably against Manchester City, a club that has a payroll almost thirteen times bigger than ours (USD 240 millions x USD 19 millions per year). Will we make it past Man City regardless of the financial abyss? Who knows? That’s the beauty of football. In the meantime, all that matters to me is how this club and this group represent me to the bone. Vitória Fluminense!!

Opinião: Sobre ser um Tricolor secular

Sempre me considerei ateu. Mais que ateu, antirreligioso. Não sou nem nunca fui contra quem é religioso, mas, desde que me conheço por gente pensante, lembro de
