id still have city as favourites, but it will be a toughie

still,2 months till the game is played.alot can change
Oh yeah a lot can change, but my (imaginary) money will be on Monaco, they are looking very good this season, over two legs I expect them to have too much for City and their somewhat confused defensive situation.

I think it would bea very close run thing, and if any club knows Falcao inside and out, it is us, so hopefully we could nullify him somewhat.

I do think we could beat them over one game, but over two games, perhaps they might have too much for us at this stage.

Okay then, fair enough, in your opinion then how do you see a hypothetical match between Monaco v Manchester United going, who would win over two legs?

Juve have just notched up their 24th consecutive home win in Serie A.

One more would equal their record. That game is against Roma.
And thanks to a brilliant goal from Higuain Juve have just beaten Roma 1-0 to equal their record of 25 consecutive home wins. That is some going at any level.

The win also moves them 7 points clear at the top of Serie A.

They certainly are a dark horse in terms of the Champions League, I can seethe going quite far, as the league seems theirs to throw away now.

I suppose that I am in a very small minority of one, but Kashima Antlers are beating Real Madrid in the final of the Club World Cup!

Just at the start of the second half, it would be amazing if they could get the title of best club side in the world!

And it is now 2-2, that feller Ronaldo with the equaliser, odds on a Ramos last minute headed winner I wonder?!

2-2 at full time, so extra time is going to be played.

On a separate topic, this is great to see from a humane level :-

Game over now you would think, a Ronaldo hattrick makes it 4-2.

Real Madrid win the match 4-2, and are the club world champions for 2016, and are now 37 games unbeaten!

Ronaldo with his 40th hattrick for Real Madrid!

Tonight is a prime example of why the Messi v Ronaldo debate is silly to me. Ronaldo is an amazing player without any doubt, but the way Messi consistently makes the impossible appear routine makes him incomparable IMO. He has emphatically decided the game tonight with two outrageous pieces of play, one of them being just ludicrously impossible. the scoreboard will say he's scored the 4th goal in a 4-1 thrashing, but that doesn't come anywhere NEAR telling the full story. the guy just isn't human.

That FIFA WCC wasn't screened in the UK yet again. Any other top footballing countries not screen it either or was it just the UK, anybody know?

If FIFA can't sell the TV rights to a UK TV company then they should just scrap it, even Eurosport weren't interested.

Yep, meaningless competition and the fact that no one broadcast it live shows that., I suppose it gives the Asian teams a chance to play a European giant.
