Bilbao are playing some lovely football, a brilliant match to watch, quick passing, closing down, showing a stale man u up in there own back yard.

Man United are very lucky to only be a goal down going into the away leg. The damned bounders.

Who is this AthletIco

The incident with the boot showed the ref was correct and the players don't know the rules.

Reminds me a bit of a game where one of the opposition deliberately played the ball back to his keeper off his thigh, and the ref game an indirect free kick to us for a back pass. He argued the toss so much he eventually got sent off.
Pretty sure it was this game http://www.inthemadcrowd.co.uk/cgi-bin/ ... p?oid=3950
I remember checking the rules when I got home after the game, as he was so certain I thought the ref must have got it wrong, and he had!

It's Athletic Club not athletico!!!!!!

Didn't know until the commentator said last night that they were founded by a dock worker from Sunderland, hence the red and white stripes and name of Athletic Club. Accorting to Wiki they don't like to be called Bilbao.

Yep they played some great football. They've still got an element of the old Bilbao rough and tumble, get the ball into the box for the big man stuff too.

The game last night was one of the best I've seen all season, very entertaining.

It's about time the benefit of the doubt went to the forward, it forces defenders to do their job of defending.

Athletic = Ingles
Athletico = Espanol.

Like thousands of English words, they are the same or very similar in Spanish (or French come to that)

Man u v Athletico
