And you need to beat Sparta Praag right ?

Could be done, since they're having a hard time right now.

We only need a draw against Praq since we won against them at home.

Arsenal were very lucky lastnight. There was bugger all wrong with Thun second goal. I feel for the swiss team as thats the second time they have been screwed over by a late goal to the boring gooners

It was impossible to see if this team had any tactics any gameplay structure or any single drop of teamwork..

Milan were hard deservers fo the whole match. And coach Daum -as I always said- is a master "freak"ician.. No tactics all over the pitch in any terms at all and Shevchenko bagged in 4 goals..

And it's been a lesson for those blaming Turkish fans for their wildness..

Fenerbahce fans called Milan team towards the sidelines and congratulated them with claps, and they reacted very friendly as well. Shevchenko left the field clapping for the Fenerbahce fans once more.

Briefly, we know how to accept a defeat.

Milan played as good as I have ever seen them play. Seedorf and Shevchenko especially.

The blame is not mainly on the Turkish fans but on your officials...

A very fair gesture and one direly needed in Turkish football. Mind you, Fenerbahce was totally outclassed yesterday especially in the second half. There wasn't much point complaining about anything but your own team.

I understand that you had some players missing hence the midfield was lacking a lot...

Briefly, we know how to accept a defeat.

Little choice left really...but again, it's not the people per se but your officials that seem to have a problem to accept defeat.

About the football itself, it was a suicide move to leave the right flank in to hands of Serginho by substituting Mehmet Yozgatli and leaving Serkan there alone. And If Nobre is a Brazilian, I am Bugs Bunny with a tremendous shot power like Jörg Albertz's (remember anyone?)

Servet who was away from the pitch for the last 6 monts, did not play in the last Turkish league match where it would be better in order to gain match fitness. However our "wiseman" Daum played that guy who had been shown 2 red cards last year in this tournament - who has a giant body without a shimmer of football or at least defensive intelligence, right away and against Sheva. Yesterday, Sheva just knocked that bunch of meat down in a 1-on-1 struggle. Thanks to our talented young keeper Volkan who prevented Sheva from scoring another 3 or 4.

I did not read any papers today. But I'm quite sure that they are headlined Fourchenko. They like doing this whenever possible

The blame is not mainly on the Turkish fans but on your officials...

I read the whole news wrong then, all about Turkish fans being savage, unable to accept a defeat in a civilized way.

Whatever, digging up this stuff will not earn us anything from now on. My purpose to bring it up was to prove that we can accept a defeat in a very beautiful way. It's not only exagerration and generalization easily summed up when Turkey is the subject.

Never mind, mate.

I wholeheartedly agree with you there. 'nough said!

Shevchenko's fourth was a work of art. The fact that a real team with a working defense wouldn't let him do it is irrelevant.
