This sport deserves own topic

Man Utd vs. Zenit St. Peterburg

who will win?

[Dima]

Zenit is currently #6 (after 19 games) in the Russian Premier League. Some of Zenit's players might be a bit tired after EURO 2008 (where Russia had gotten to the semifinal). MU is probably more fresh at the moment. Moreover, I think MU has more excellent players than Zenit.

So, I am inclined to think that MU wins, but it will be a very close match.

I'm sorry guys, but isn't that Zenit who beat MU at the Champions League?

[Dima]

Steven,

Zenit beat Rangers in the UEFA cup final and the match, I believe, was in Manchester, England.

MU beat Chelsea in the Champions League final and the match was in Moscow. Then about 40 or 50 thousand British (MU and Chelsea) fans arrived in Moscow and "flooded" the Russian capital's streets.

I watched both of these matches.

I am going to watch MU vs Zenit. The match is taking place in Monaco.

It'll be very soon! Forza Zenit! )))))

Don't you think Zenit won because MU doesn't have its main player - Christiano Ronaldo? That guy would not allow that to happen!

[PATKO]

Maybe Ronaldo lacked, but Zenit is very good team!

I cheered for Zenit...

But I`m happy for Vidic achived a goal! He`s excelent player and Serb too

[Giovane]

Yes ,Peter you're wright. MU was without Cristiano, Hargrivs, Giggs. But MU's motivation was on very low level...Although, MU shouldn't depend only on Ronaldo...
