Muniain has the skill and technique of any other "hot talent" in the world right now + insane work rate.

Tied in Kharkiv and Hannover, it's very tense. EL quarterfinals piss all over CL quarterfinals.

Falcao has had a very quiet game, but when the chance falls to him he doesn't disappoint. Some nice semi final games to look forward to

Lousy Smarch weather
Hoogland and Jones have pretty much ruined every decent counter attacking opportunity in since 2-2. Their passing has been dreadful.

Little known fact, that Franco forced all the teams to have their names in Spanish, so for a while Athletic Club were forced to change their name to Athletico. I believe it is a point of pride to them to have changed it back. And considering it's in testament to the English heritage of the game, you'd think most people on here would be pleased about it.

Im going to give this a look tonight despite the fact it is on channel 5, seeing as we are connected to nearly the entire Bilbao team it will be good to have another look at the talent on offer.

Another interesting fact - Atletico de Madrid used to be a youth branch of Athletic Club. Both teams share the same colours because the founder of Athletic Club bought fiftt Southampton shirts in England in early years of 20th century - half were kept by Athletic Club and became their colours and half were sent to Atletico de Madrid.
