I think there have been gamers who actually applied for managing positions for several clubs before. One of them was even hired, a much lower division club, of course.
 
Chelsea remind me of 2004's Greece at the moment. A team with a purely defensive lineup with tall defenders (Cahill-Terry/Kapsis-Dellas), two pure defensive midfielders (D. Luiz-Mikel/Basinas-Zagorakis), one actual (Willian/Giannakopoulos) and one made up from defensive midfielder (Ramires/Katsouranis) winger playing on the wings with only one guy in front to try to grab long balls (Torres/Charisteas). And they only rely on dead balls to score just like Greece did. Greeks were heavily bashed for their style of play, can't say Chelsea is any more fun.

It's actually a bigger shame because Greece did what they had to do, they were one of the weakest teams in the competition. Chelsea have very good attacking options like Oscar and Schürrle waiting on the bench.

Wouldn't it be funny if Fernando Torres scored the winner for Chelsea at the weekend? They'll have to so something special to survive Liverpool's opening 20 minute cannonade though.

By the way, if any forum member were to become the new Manchester United manager then it would be Wingman, since he had a PhD and stuff. Night Prowler could be his assistant though.
 
Bayern were nowhere near their level of domination against Real tonight, while Real showed that they're capable of parking the bus. Great defensive display, 1-0 win for Real.

I didn't like the lineup Guardiola put out for today. Lahm-Schweinsteiger-Kroos midfield might be incredible from a tenacity standpoint, but they lack creativity. Stop the Lahm as a defensive midfielder nonsense, put him as the right back, play Javi Martinez as the defensive midfielder and Kroos-Thiago Alcantara as central midfielders. They desperately lacked attacking from midfield today.

Men of the Match: Pepe & Luka Modric
