Uefa Cup Semi Final 1st leg- Rangers 0-0 Fiorentina (Ibrox Stadium)

[Andygers]

I might as well open this now, even though the game is about a week and a half away.

So this is it we have to do it but its not going to be easy without Ferguson and Thomson and the fact that Mutu is on top form makes it twice as hard, however we have come so far and it would be a real shame to blow it now.

I say Rangers 2-0 Fiorentina

Your thoughts???

[Andygers]

Okay this is the team that I expect to play against Fiorentina (after last nights shambles):

-------------Alexander----------------

Whittaker-----Weir-----Celluar-----Papac

Novo---Hendami---Davis---Daily---Burke

-------------Cousin----------------------

This team does not fill me with confidence in the slightest but the objective is not to concede and we will succeed.

I think Rangers will win this first leg but Fiorentina will be able to score a goal which will make the return very interesting

[Andygers]

^ Hmmmm maybe.

[DelijaZauvjek]

Bye bye Rangers is all I can say..
Mutu is going to crush all in his path to the finals.
If Italians get lucky and score the first goal it's about 99 percent over.
Just try scoring on a winning Italian club lol. They shut down and retreat on defense playing the best counterattacking in the world. Only the Italians my friend.

lol when I watch the scoresheets, all I see is:

9' Luca Toni
8' Luca Toni
7' Luca Toni
6' Luca Toni
5' Luca Toni

lol, Italians. Come on Rangers you can do it! Come on Cousin, score some goals! No really... his name is Cousin lol

Have you watched Rangers at all this season, we play the exact same way that you have just quoted. This game has 0-0 writen all over it.

Yes but his name is pronounced Coosaan

I hope we do it!!! its going to be damn tough though!!!

Luca tonii of course, i love hearing his name in the scoresheet shows that he wants to stay at bayern for a very long time
hes always dangerous with the headers when schweinsteiger sends him those beautiful crosses .....
i think its gonna be 1-1 in the first leg.....

yeah because he's French lol

[Andygers]

Ballack, What that has to do with Rangers-Fiorentina I do not know but anyway Luca Toni is a good player.

[DelijaZauvjek]

I can pretty much bet you money that Fiorentina will win this match.
All you guys have is good defense. I don't know if you have watched any of the late Fiorentina match including Uefa and domestic league but they have been on fire!
It's going to be close but 2-1 or 1-0 for Fiorentina.
Both home and Away.
It's just my opinion so stop always trying to disagree or agrue about it Ranger Boy.

[newcastlefan000]

lol only defence. If you follow Rangers enough, you'll see their strikers sometimes unstoppable.

[DelijaZauvjek]

I've seen them play numerous times lol..
I've also seen that they bearly beat a weak Serbian Crvena Zvezda team by 1-0 in the 90th minute..................
If that is all they can do, then they don't have much to look forward to in a very strong and "hot" Fioretina.

That Red Star game was at the start of the season, we have became a far stronger side since then. For example we beat Lyon and Bremen when we were not expected to, we are also only one of two teams in europe still able to win 4 throphies, so your assesment is abosulte b/s in my opinion.
