**Finnish your Czech** · 04-14-2012, 07:56 PM

hoping for athletic vs valencia final

HajdukSplit · 04-15-2012, 09:46 AM

Athletic-Atletico is my guess...but the all Spanish semi is really 50/50, Valencia have been very inconsistent though, especially in Europe

MagicianHishon · 04-15-2012, 12:06 PM

Muniain isn't playing today because of some sort of eye injury. Hoping he's ready to go by Thursday or it will be big blow for Bilbao.

Capitaine Gionta · 04-19-2012, 02:41 PM

Força Sporting!

Slopo · 04-19-2012, 02:52 PM

Bilbao lucky to be tied at half.

HajdukSplit · 04-19-2012, 03:09 PM

Valencia totally being outplayed but they got that away goal. I still expect Atletico to score at least one more if they continue playing like they did in the first half

Schalkenullvier · 04-19-2012, 03:26 PM

bilbao have a really wonderfull set of jerseys

Savi · 04-19-2012, 03:43 PM

Falcao

this guy is amazing

HajdukSplit · 04-19-2012, 03:46 PM

Valencia have been pathetic today, no wonder why they are thinking about firing Emery, he might even lose 3rd place

MagicianHishon · 04-19-2012, 04:00 PM

Looks like Bilbao thought this was a La liga game. They had about 20 minutes of good football.I think the score line favors Lisbon, a tie would have been just but that the way she goes. I fancy Bilbao's chances at home with Martínez coming back.

HajdukSplit · 04-19-2012, 04:05 PM

Bilbao didn't look as good as in the past

Valencia score two away goals and are still somehow in the tie despite being totally outplayed by Atletico Madrid. I still expect Atletico to advance, but it gives Valencia some hope in the return leg

Nice to see Insua score. Feels like vindication to some degree, he'll be one of the best left back's in the world I'm sure of it.

HajdukSplit · 04-26-2012, 02:55 PM

good game between Bilbao-Sporting, end to end, Bilbao the better team though but Sporting got an away goal. Bilbao lead 2:1 at halftime and its 3:3 on aggregate

MagicianHishon · 04-26-2012, 02:59 PM

What a crazy end to that half. I don't know Torres missed on that cross. Maybe, there's a rule that only 1 Torres can score in a week.

HajdukSplit · 04-26-2012, 03:53 PM

Llorente scores a goal out of his ass, nice finish. Bilbao minutes away to the final where they will face Atletico Madrid

Slopo · 04-26-2012, 03:58 PM

Athletic!!!

Llorente played a monster game: 1 goal, 2 assists. Creating havoc in the middle and had a couple other great chances.

Savi · 04-26-2012, 04:00 PM

They're havin a party in Bilbao

great scenes

Funniest part was when Torres collapsed(looked to be crying) everyone jumps on him, they all get up leaving little Muniain.
