Who will win the UEFA CUP 2008?

I think and i hope Rangers will win. The many people who put down scottish football yet another Scottish team reaches the final of the UEFA CUP

Zenit play much better but I think that their striker won't be able to play in the final due to yellow cards.

I'm rooting and hope Rangers win; but I feel that Zenit will win it.

He is not the best choice against such a team as Rangers so the loss may be not as serious as it seems. At the same time, three of Zenit's key persons who were absent yesterday will be in on May 14.

im hoping rangers win. but reallistically i can only see it happening the way we did last night (on penaltys)

C'Mon the Teddy Bears

Hasn't he scored 10 goals in this UEFA, he has?

i hope zenit... would be really cool for Dick Advocaat.what a hero would he be.
he deserves it.

I'd like Zenit to win the competition, as much as i suppported Rangers to the final. It'd be nice for a Russian side to lift one of the European trophies, and also it's better that it isn't a Champions League proper drop-out.

I reckon Rangers may nick it on the counter-attack though. 2-1. They'll get an early goal, sit back, be broken eventually and then defend some more for extra-time, but break towards the end and win against the run of play.

I'll support Zenit but I don't think they will make it, even though being the better team.

A counter-team vs a team which defends with 10 players. Gonna be fun...
I know Zenit can do more than just counterattack but I sense that it's not going to be enough against a team that won't do much but stand around inside their own penalty area.
Also their best striker Pogrebnyak can't play.

I think we will see a 0-0 after 90 minutes. Zenit will do all the work and they'll have to pay the price for that. In the extra time, the Rangers will be comming, but they don't have the potential to score.
Anything can happen in the penalty shootout, but I'd put my money on the Rangers, since they already won one.

No doubt, he has; but with Rangers his manner, with its obvious bias towards power, would IMHO be less effcient than that of Arshavin, Domingues or Zenit's brilliant but permanently broken Turk Tekke, with their so to say "awl-like" style. If, say, Tekke is O.K. on May 14 (it seems, he is), Rangers would be very much surprised to see Zenit they have never seen before. I doubt whether their defence would be able to withstand the three without losing a man or two...or without a penalty or two.
For all that, should I bet it would be 0-0. On the other hand, Rangers, no offence meant, seem to be the weakest party of the five (+ Villareal, Marseille, Buyer, Bayern) Zenit has met this spring. Isn't their luck coming to an end?

don't you thin arshavin would be better against an offensive team?
his biggest strength is his speed, but it's not going to help him against such a defensive team.

O-o-o-o-h.... frankly speaking I think he is also a bit overstated (like, say, Riberi, but on a slightly lower level). You are right in that he needs space to show his best, and Rangers won't give him too much. That is why I believe Domingues and especially Tekke to be the best choice - they are less, so to say, "space-dependent", and they are able to make a clown of a defender on, literally, one square meter.

Come on Walter Smith

Been a great campaign for them.

i hope rangers win it. theres nothing stopping them now really, they've come all this way and knocked out some great teams.

Good luck Rangers but i think they will be too tried with all these games in such a short period of time and Zenit have looked very good in this seasons Uefa Cup.

Honestly I do not want to cheer for any of the two teams. They both beat the teams that I liked.

I will just say may the best team win...until next time.

I think Rangers will win it.

A very strange comparison of Rangers with the Argentina of 1990 on www.goal.com. Who is meant to be Maradona or at least Caniggia? Nacho Novo, isn't he?

Caniggia who played for Dundee. Novo who played for Dundee.

Oh my God! Is there anybody having never played for Dundee?!
