| Bayern just got mauled by Zenit. Advocaat is a tactical genius. And the Fiorentina game still lies in the balance, but they`ve been dominating so I don`t see how they could lose this one. |

This is pretty much how rangers play all their games even against some of the poorest sides in scotland.
They should be pulled up in front of the EU for crimes against football. |

| Messi was so right when he called them out for playing anti-football earlier in the season. If they can hit 4 past Bayern, I hope Zenit will tear them a new one. All be it said, every prediction I've made has been wrong in both UCL and Uefa Cup in the semi-final stages, so I'm not too hopeful. |

Extra time was pretty exciting at least........
Fiorentina just wasted so many opportunities to put the ball home in the net. |

i believe the first, of three, goal chances for rangers came in like 77th minute.
as a e-mailer on guardian put it - this proves that, if there is a god, he's a bit of a . |

Bit disappointed that Fiorentina came all this way and dominating this game without advancing. Vieri skying it over the bar in penalties, a player who had a lethal shot and good accuracy in his earlier days has left his boots at home. But fiorentina did have chances to seal the game it just wasn't meant to be.
Wierd final match-up. With Zenit being underdogs and on fire atm ill be cheering them on. |

End of the day a Rangers team who are playing a game every second day nearly beat a team who were totally rested.
It went to pens Rangers did the job Fiorentina didn't. And Fiorentina were at home and didn't have such a punishing schedule. End of the day Rangers did well.
3 shots on target each..Rangers down to 10 men for most of extra time. They did an efficient job. End of. |

Rangers were more threatening with 10 men |

Yeah they were. But I hate how people can't appreciate what an organisational masterclass they displayed. Individually each player is possibly inferior to many teams they have beaten but as a team they have done VERY well.
Plus Cuellar is an outstanding player these days.
I find it ironic that an Italian team is whining about someone else playing defensive counter attacking football. :p |

Fiorentina have been on the decline lately tho, so I can't really say I'm surprised they lost. This is definitely not the same Viola that raped through the first half of the season and were as high as #3 in Serie A.
Too bad Pogrebnyak has to sit out the final, he's probably the biggest Russian talent right now and I could see him going somewhere after his displays in the Cup... probably Germany or Spain - the more customary destinations for Russian players. |
