losing 2:0 in Luzhniki to Bayern.. Still halftime, but it is BAYERN, we cannot catch them..


F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK

Well it's no real shame loosing to Bayern is it.....I mean they are a top quality side, hope though that Bayern loose something like 4-2 :D

it's a shame to lose. Simple as that...

1:3 the score is, btw.

URRRGHH.

but hey, that's what happens when you spend less money on transfers than Cardiff City.

How many shots hit the post? about 5?

hmmm... maybe bayern is too strong for them...

gee, Amika, you're a genius. Nobody here ever thought that Bayern was too strong for Spartak, we all thought that Spartak could take anyone and WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!! OF course not, I always knew the maximum abilities of Spartak and Russian soccer league itself.. Just that Spartak exceeded the expectations last year, so I thought about kind of the same year..

Alenitchev: posts? I don't know..

Damn that infurtiates me... I would of liked to see Spartak beat FC Bayern. Oh well like you say RR they haven't spent much money on transfers. They have sold players though Dynamo Kiev bought a goalie off them. Can't remember his name.

Of course there's no shame in losing to Bayern, if there was, then every team in the world would be feeling pretty shameful.

Once again RR, I can prove to you that FC Bayern, Bayern Muenchen, are a better team than Spartak, and instead of reciting last years CL scores, I can recite this years!!

well, it doesn't mean that Spartak has little infrastructure.. They do have money, but just cannot afford to spend more than a million dollars on a player.. Although Spartak's rivals, CSKA, reportedly spent up 10 million bucks (the transfers in Russia are never public) this summer mid-season on players.. Got a rich sponsor, it seems.

Spartak did buy a guy over one million, Roman Vasilyuk, a Belarussian, I believe. Young, talented striker. He was the one who scored all 4 Belarus's goals when they beat Poland 4:1 a couple of weeks ago.. So we'll see, maybe this kid will develop as a striekr Spartak needed for the past 10 years.

Jari - yeah, Filimonov. The guy has been a symbol of Russian football for the past 6 years; he is not necessarily great, but always was solid. A bald keeper, he is as symbolic to Russian football as Barthez to the French.. Only difference - Filimonov stinks, compared to Barthez. This guy made a crucial mistake in October of 99 on the last minute of the match Russia-Ukraine, on which Shvechneko scored a fluke goal, and Russia disqualified from the Euro'00... If Russia would have won that game, we would have gotten the first place and 100% qualified for that tournament. Filimonov never seemed to recover from that mistake.

Nimreitz: no way. Spartak played reallly well last year in the CL, at least before the mid-December's clash against Lion. We must have gotten a tie against Bayern, at least, if we want to stay a respectable club. Lokomotiv, btw, played well last night against Roma in Rome. Lost 2:1, were leading 1:0.

I don't have my all German version of Bayern's season highlights on hand right now, but I did post them a while back. In phase 2 of the CL, I think the group was Spartak, Lyon, Bayern, and PSG, but don't hold me to that. Bayern beat Spartak both times, and the better win was in Russia. I posted that a month ago so I remember it. Maybe they swept PSG :confused:

i saw the dynamo kiev vs liverpool match the other night and i thought they did quite well, and made quite a lot of dangerous movement towards the liverpool's defence... well, then again it is kiev and not spartak...:rolleyes:

Hey Nimreitz, I know you wouldn't mind another Real-Bayern match-up.:D

But with a different result this time.;)

Real is gonna kick everyones asses this season! :D ;)

As Dragan said Real is gonna kick everyones arse they are gonna be so hard to beat especially when headbutting Zidane is back.;)

Real at first must kick everyone's a-ss in their championship.. something they aren't doing lately..

.. it was predictable really that they take a while to start the season ..
coz it takes a while for all the players to gel properly together
I know it's a classic ... but it's true
