Sunday final in Yokohama, Sao Paulo vs Liverpool

Liverpool is the great champion of europe, great coach, famous players,
a english old school striker, as crouch, a genious as gerard and the
lucky of the winners, like in istambul.

sao paulo, tree colors two world trophys, two great strikers, amoroso
and luizao, a dedicated coach and the tradition of brazilian football.

1 game

whos gonna win ?

Liverpool for me, they are in sparkling form at the moment!

"amoroso and luizao"

my mistake, luizao quit sao paulo
after copa libertadores. but grafite
is back.

Yokohama stadium! Thats 10 minutes from my office.
Liverpool will win for sure.

I think this could be close, Sao Paulo play terific football and are deadly infront of goal. Were as Liverpool play terific football and arent so deadly in front of goal but Crouch is finding his form, and Gerrard can make something....from nothing

A close encounter I should imagine.

should be Liverpool but you never know in these games .

Both Sao Paulo and Liverpool have great teams. but Liverpool has a better offense. Liverpool will win. It should be a good match.

Liverpool, easy!

Liverpool too win it!

Sao Paulo will do em!

My team all the way....bringing another trophy back home

I'm biased, but I don't see Sao Paulo getting through our defence and Liverpool will knock a couple in - 2-0.

I think Liverpool will win this game, but it will be no walk in the park. Sao Paulo are a good side, and have enough decent players to test Liverpools back line.

Liverpool are gonna have to score goals (plural) to win this one cos i think the pace and trickery of Sao Paulo will beat their defensive line.

keys to victory for Liverpool:

close the center-midfield, where são paulo have
a lot of nice players

explore plays by the sides and long balls

shot balls in average distance, like gerard did aganist the saprissa

be carrefull to dont make faults near the area

keys to victory for sao paulo:

try to put the game on their own rithm

dribling near the reds area

try to hold the ball as long its possible

watch out cross balls over sao paulo area

##########################################################

until now is 12/3 Liverpool x são paulo

reds are confident, but could be lucrative bet on são paulo...

But most of all score more goals than Sao Paulo

yeah hehehe thats the soul of football

the best way to Liverpool do more goals in são paulo
i think is using the air game or shoting in middle and
long distance

for são paulo, the best way is dribling to reach the
Liverpool area, like a knife cutting butter, using they
skilfull strikers

são paulo won this trophy 2 times:

in 1992 against barcelona and against ac milan in 1993

Liverpool i know lost two times this trophy, one of these
was against the flamengo with that greatest players
like, zico, junior, nunes..

i know the big pressure of course is to win the continental cup
and the national leagues, but for Liverpool and são paulo that prize
could be "the cherry over the cake". Liverpool is loosing important points
in the premier league and when back europe will play against benfica for champions l. .
so i gess could be very motivating for the reds that conquest.

for são paulo, the importance is the tradition and to
put them definitively as the brazilian club most
well successfull in international tournaments

Yes it should be a great game, i heard Sao Paulo have very big central defenders so that might nullify the Crouch factor a little bit.

The Liverpool back four are not very quick and i think this will be Sao Paulo's main point to exploit.

lugano, the uruguayan central defender hits a lot,
he could make a penalty over the guys from Liverpool
if they try to enter são paulo area.

Unlucky Liverpool....... ........... Ahahahahaa!
