SPOILER ALERT!!!!



























Yeah..they were awesome..and so, sadly, was the Juve answer.

Game is WIDE open right now. Juve not looking like their typical selves...D not so good..but more aggressive up top than I expected.

In that case...Man U is closing in on the half and up 1-0 in a match that looks far less exciting than Chels-Juve.

I'm not going to look in on the red devils anymore because I don't like Man U, don't know a thing about the squad they are playing..love Chelsea and this one looks like a much more exciting match up.

Chelsea is dominating possession and looks dangerous as we near the half.

Good gosh, the ball popped in the United game. Weird!

Good advert for Adidas :wink: (probably a malfunction in manufacturing).

I have never seen that happen...but ironically I was poised to comment that the CL ball is awesome and if I ever throw down the $$ for a match quality ball...I'd get a Champions League ball.

By the way, Chelsea still up 2-1 and were just jobbed out of a PK.

The officiating has been pretty poor in this game.

Wow..followed up the no call in the box with a terrible call against the blues.

These Juve guys are a bunch of delicate flowers and the official seems hell bent to protect them from getting any boo boos from playing a man's game.

Not the current one, but the previous model (so just one away), and the Adidas Champions League match ball felt heavy. But it flew more accurately than the current EURO 2012 ball.

I like the new Nike EPL ball.

Go outside the box. Get the Wilson they use in the NCAA :biggrin: (kidding, it's actually an good ball).

As an experiment years-and-years ago, I bought the cheapest ball from Meijer and it played fine :wink:

All square at Stamford bridge at 2-2.

I'm learning to hate Juventus.

EDIT...and there is the final whistle. Blues get a point...felt like they should have come away with 3 for most of the game and they were the better side, but played lazy in the back (again).

Man U picks up all 3 points with a 1-0 win over Galatasary. Red Devils looked a bit lax at times..but did what they needed to get the points.

Barca, Bayern M. also get wins to open their CL campaigns on a bright note.
