CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CRAZINESS

[jenni_blog]

In which the two Manchester teams do NOT go through to the knockout stages, Arsenal and Chelsea are the only two English teams to advance, and Benfica, not Porto, make it through to the next round.

Here are only a few of my favourite pictures:

Sweet Baby James of Porto cannot believe it.

I should add that Napoli has gone through to the knockout rounds as well. :)









A Napoli fan. My god, I was there on those streets two and a half years ago!



Okay, that's all I've got from this week's matches. :) Good luck to my favourite teams!

No, my interests are not changing. When I do a picspam it can be of one of my favourite teams, or it can be only because the pictures themselves are interesting, or of players I like, no matter where they play. For me football is not a SERIOUS thing. I never take it that seriously that I hold grudges or have hatreds. (Okay, I will say I hate some teams/players but it's all said in fun.) So when I say I happily agree to disagree with someone else's opinion, I really mean it. Or that I refuse to get into an argument over something I don't consider SERIOUS at all, because there are far too many more important things in life to get into arguments over. In my opinion, sports is a game, and games should be FUN. While I can understand having passion for a sport, I also put it into perspective that I have been a fan of many sports through all my different stages of life. This type of football is a more recent interest. Before that I loved baseball and knew everything about the sport. And shortly after that it was American-style-NFL football that claimed my passionate interest. Now it is this kind of football. I've always said my tastes are always changing, and that I go with what interests me at that time. And I don't mind it if others disagree with me. That's just life, and it's all okay. :)

Nothing against taking it not serious. For sure football should be fun. I know interests are changing but some basics will never change or imo it is not honest.

You have told me before about your 'sports interest history'.

You didn't answer my question. With what teams you go in the CL now?

Others disagree with you but you will never disagree with one other person, you will always try to please them all (except me, because you know me in person or maybe I'm the only one who tells you the truth)

Okay, that's good to hear, because I really love football to be fun and I cannot help if my likes/dislikes change because it is always for a reason!

Oh sorry, I missed the question! My CL teams right now are in this oreder: #1: Benfica, #2: Arsenal, #3: Real madrid, #4: Bayer Leverkusen. The rest I don't care what happens to them. Okay, maybe if I had to pick one other, it would be Chelski. Only because it's an EPL team and I like Andres Villas Boas and Raul Meireles and I hope they haven't made a terrible mistake.

I do have a terrible habit of wanting to please everyone, and because of the profession I work in, it has fed that bad habit for too many years, because at work I do have to please everyone. :/

With you I feel I have that special kind of relationship where we can be completely honest with each other. I was a bit worried that you thought I might be 'in love' with certain people if I posted their pictures. Not true. I just might post them because I liked the pics, that's all. (Like I will post pics of Juventus, because I like Juventus and some of its players...and I will admit to 'looking for' pics of Marcelo. Also AS Roma. While I don't really care about the team, I do like Erik Lamela, Pablo Osvaldo and maybe some others.) ;)

Thanks for your answer.

I guess it is really not a very good habit to try to please all people. You can easily forget about yourself!!!

I can agree with the CL teams, except Real (I told you and we bet Real will win it) and I will be pissed off for longer because I hate that club with all my passion! (except Xabi Alonso)
I thought you would love the Russians or the Italians.

I have nothing against pretty pics!
You know I love Marcelo for Paraguay but Juve is Italian and I cannot like him playing there. It's the same with other players playing for shit teams!
I know you follow some players... that's totally okay for me but sometimes it looked as if you would love the teams too!

I always hoped we would have a very special relationship with love and honesty and understanding!
I wouldn't talk in that way to you if I wouldn't care about you! I met you in person and I know you have another side too *hugs* and *kisses*

Okay, it's good we came to an understanding. :)
