Liverpool vs S.Paolo -
I've instructed Rick Parry to custom made a new cabinet @ Anfield museum for this new Baby to arrive at Anfield .
Cabinet "Full-House" , require a new slot !

How can the Brazilians beat us ?
Their good players all go Europe liao , those playing at S.Paolo all's not so good players , not really no good , just not good enough to give us a real bashing .
Liverpool 1-0 , The Cup , The pride and some investments !! -
How good are S.Paolo ?
So good that they conceded 2 goals to an Asian club !
If can concede 2 goals to an Asian club , what about to a European Champion ? -
i feel confident, but not complacent ...
the good thing about ah ben is he wouldn't take it for granted ...
brazilians have a lot of attacking flair so our back four will need to be on top of their game ...
let's bring back the trophy! -
It's a final and like Rafa Benitez likes to say, "The final is not just for playing. We must play to win in a final."
Sao Paolo's defence might have been breeched twice, but it was by an impressive Al Ittihad side that in my opinion is the 3rd best side in the tournament. However, like typical Brazilans, their game is built around flair and technicality. They concede 2, but they score 3 to win the game.
I think Rafa will field a strong side for the finals. He will probably try to use most of the squad on sunday. Players rested for the semis will most likely be recalled into the starting lineup. Finnan, Warnock and Morientes will probably go straight back into the first eleven.
It's been a while since Liverpool conceded a goal but they will face their sternest test yet against the offensive Sao Paolo team. Extending the record run will be great but the win is even more important.
If everything goes to plan, Liverpool should edge out their brazilan counterparts and celebrate their inaugural World Club Championships triumph.

The south american team always egde out the european teams in this type of competition, they won the south american CL against teams like corinthians and boca juniors not easy man.
They have cicinho, who's going to real madrid -
the recent winners were mostly south americans.

Not true.Originally posted by dragg:the recent winners were mostly south americans.
The recent winners were in fact mostly Europeans. Here's the complete list of winners in the history of the Toyota Cup.

You can see that the victories have been pretty evenly split between the European and South American clubs, with the Europeans dominating recently, winning 8 of the last 10 finals. -
And just to clarify in case some of the readers may be confused.
This Toyota Club World Championships is only the 2nd ever. This new format of club champions for their respective continents contesting the cup was introduced in 2000 and held in Brazil where Corrinthians eventually won. Real Madrid and Manchester United represented Europe back then. It was scrapped for 4 years and brought back only this year in Japan.
The Toyota Cup( European vs South American Cup ) is the equivalent and have been played since 1981. It's only involves Europe and South America.
Hope this bit of info helps. -
Here's something cheeky.Originally posted by The man who was death:They have cicinho, who's going to real madrid
Liverpool have got Steven Gerrard and Rafa Benitez, whom Real Madrid wants but can't get! -

GLory to Pool!!!!!
-
pool will win unless they get distracted by those jap girls..
-
Let's win it for Rafa!!!

In his attempt to rest his players and confused his opponents, Ah Ben have handed the cup to the San Paulo Team.
San Pualo defended with resolve and deserved to win.
Enough said about the right players to be deployed.
It was too late. -

*sigh* Oh well....
At least the defeat will bring Liverpool back to earth and on their feets. Otherwise, they do seem a bit too complacent for my liking.
Not a good way to lose but I can see good things coming out from this defeat.
YNWA. -

I see Pool going on a short loss of form for a while.They will eventually recover and then again "it's 16 years and waiting!" -
its true.
liverpool won the CL when nobody expected them to.
now they lost when most expected them not to. -
wait 3 disallowed goals?was it all justified..man i have never heard of a brazilian team defending..
-
Sao Paulo is a good side but seeing them win because they defended well?
Not my idea of a Brazilian team. They did an Italian job to a English "Spanish" side.
-
Yeah...credit when it's due.Originally posted by stellazio:wait 3 disallowed goals?was it all justified..man i have never heard of a brazilian team defending..
Two of the goals are offside...and Alonso's cross curled out before it reaches Sami...so I think the referee was correct in disallowing all three.
I have never seen a Brazilian team defend for their lives before...so I'm proud of the way we played in the second half.
29 shots on goal and none went in!!
man...football is a crazy game sometimes

Moro should have been substituted earlier. He was simply not getting into the game.Originally posted by Medicated Oil:In his attempt to rest his players and confused his opponents, Ah Ben have handed the cup to the San Paulo Team.

Johnny Rockets should have started ahead of Warnock on current form.
