Great exibition, not by Bayern but by the referee.
He did all he could to put Bayern in the semi.
2 Penalties, many free-kicks near Porto's area that only the referee saw made Bayern win among many other things.
I did not expect to see a thing like this in the Champions League.

You're absolutely right. FC Porto hasn't got a great team, but it doesn't mean it could not go further.
Damn, it's because of referees like this one that football is losing its credibility. It's now more like a business than a sport. And like a business, its the richest and most powerfull that rule. I wish UEFA and/or FIFA do something about this problem. Maybe a little inovation would do no harm to football - I'm thinking about 2 referees in the field for instance.
I am a Porto fan and I am very disappointed, not with my team, but with the state of football.
In the recent times here in Portugal all one is talking about is bad referees, biggest clubs being bennefitted and so on, but in european terms, things aren't much different either http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/frown.gif

That referee Hugh Dallas is a complete disgrace, he showed just how incompetant he is. The worst part is that he'll be a ref at Euro 2000. I hope UEFA removes him from the list of refs for euro2000 after that injustice in Munich.

They should of just gave the ref a bayern jersey to wear during the match, because all the calls went their way. It sad to see Porto to leave this way I wanted the portuguese teams to win something this year even Porto after their big win against Real Mardrid.
