The Real Madrid game in that Turkish hell hole should be a good one as well.

 

[Cosimo]

That was a great touch by Rooney.

Yes, his headgear is something else.

 

[Cosimo]

It was slightly offside but I will not complain.

Goalkeeper being fouled as well.

 

[Cosimo]

Lol @ RVP booking.

 

[Cosimo]

Oh dear Rooney blew that one.

 

[Cosimo]

Cracker 1-1.

 

[Cosimo]

Football can be so cruel. Love it.

Makes up for the goal that should have been disallowed.

 

[Cosimo]

Goalkeeper should have saved that one!

 

[Cosimo]

Another goalkeeper error!

Looking forward to our game against Basel. Mourinho has said he’ll be playing four "beautiful young eggs” (22 and under) tonight. Oscar and Frank Lampard are already picked so I expect we will also have Eden Hazard, Kevin de Bruyne and Marco van Ginkel in the team.
