JEez dude i wasn't saying u don't know soccer, i only put down people who have totally no idea about soccer, i was talking about those rankings on that page, and i must say that i know more than soccer here about a lot of people, i grew up in africa playing soccer ever since i could walk and every night i would stay up to watch champions league ( see the stars of my dreams in action ) Believe me i know about those teams. From that list i know about Liverpool and Man U the most because i adored those teams as i grew up, hence i might have biased towards liverpool a little as i stated above. my reasons why i listed those teams are all there, Arsenal right now is performing better than many teams both in the CL and EPL that is why i ranked them that high, man u's poor performance in the CL is what made me move them to the 10th spot, as for liverpool, they played decent in the CL and are 3rd in the premier, and strong in the FA cup, they've scored like 14 goals in their last 3 games. Bayern also will always be up there, because they produce many players that germany has had on their int. team and they can compete with any other team in the world. Just because Sao Paulo won against Liverpool in the World Club championship or whatever that was, it was a garbage win anyways, score did not reflect the game and liverpool overall has a better history of performing than sao paolo. Chelsea even though they lost to fulham in the premier and lost to barca in the CL, look at their team and their overall performance, they played excellent against excellent teams. With Ballack on his way there i think they will perform exactly the same next year. although crespo was their saviour, if they can grab eto'o from Barcelona then without a doubt i will predict right now a top 3 finish. AC Milan beat the dog crap out of bayern in the CL and the talent that their team has puts them in that top spot. Olympique is no different, they have demolished sooo many teams,and are playing some good hard soccer. Juventus is my prediction for the CL, i have to say i am reluctant putting them at the number 1 spot but its that vibe that they give out that makes them produce. They have very good players and i think they can win it. Barca, #1 in the league, strong wins in the CL, unbelievable talent: messi, ronaldinho, eto'o. Real madrid also has unbelievable talent, pretty much their whole team and i don't want to list them cuz if ur a soccer fan and u dont know real u should be slapped. THe only thing holding them back is poor finishing and poor coaching. Ronaldo is not feeling it there anymore but he deserves to be there, he's not playing like he loves the game, it might be his age but oh well, it shouldn't be an excuse with the talent that he possesses. In my opinion i like Romario better than Ronaldo but Ronaldo has had his fair share of opportunities and made use of them and he had the hot boot back in the day, its starting to fade away. sorry if u took my comment the wrong way but i wasn't directing the statement to u, i was directing it to the dude on SI.
