Red vs Blue, Ibra vs Rooney, basically Man U vs Inter











Tomorrow starts the second leg of the UEFA champions league and the one match everyone wants to see is Manchester United versus Italian giants Internazionale. These two want the trophy as bad as Manchester City wants to buy the best players. United though are in a jam with Nemanja Vidic out with a leg injury which means the defense will be sloppy and his backup, Brazilian Rafael, did not board the plane to Milan. What does this mean, I'll tell you what it means. It means Rooney, Cristiano, and Berbatov need to attack like there's no tomorrow and they also need to make sure Zlatan doesn't get the ball. His accuracy is good and with no defense it's even deadlier. Look forward to a good match at San Siro this Tuesday and at Old Trafford next week.

In order to maintain a challenge for the trophies we are still competing for we felt the only option was to make the change now.
