Well, I can say I lost one year of life with this match
Seriously, Juventus made the match in first half, but they didn' t manage to score, then Lyon had a penalty, but Buffon saved it and in second half our goalkeeper made other two miracles, I was satisfied with the draw (since Lemina was sent off after 54'), but then Juan Cuadrado (who entered the field only 7 minutes before) scored a great goal and we took the three points.
But for me Juventus need to play a lot better to advance in the competition.

Leicester may be struggling in the domestic league but they have really come out with all guns blazing claiming maximum points from all their Champions League games so far so in many ways there fairy tale is still going on. I wonder what odds I would get on placing a bet on them doing the unthinkable by winning arguably world footballs greatest competition

with Kroos and Özil in particular at the top of their game.

We used to have destructive and ugly football for so long here in Germany, just mixing concrete and fight fight fight. The stereotype german panzerheads.
Now we have artists playing the beautiful game. What a salvation.

Even if they lose, like in the Euro, I want to see this skillful play much more than the result-oriented crap we used to have from 'The Mannschaft' before 2006.
I hope tonight will be another great performance. Fingers crossed...

Well having visited your wonderful Country 8 times I've always had a soft spot for Germany, I can't comment on any of the recent games as I've only really had time to watch my Scotland team

On Saturday night this made for painful viewing, the 1st half wasn't even worth talking about as it resembled something of a non event but when the 2nd Half kicked off I genuinely thought that if anybody was going to make a breakthrough on the scoring front it would be us but after creating so many chances and missing them it was now the turn of Lithuania and to be honest I can't really fault the Scotland defence too much for conceding as Fedor Cernych scored a wonderful goal.

All credit however to Scotland for never giving in and that equaliser which James McArthur scored with just a minute to go might in the long run prove to be a very valuable point for us. We should have won the game on the balance of play and we could have snatched a winner in the closing seconds of injury time if hadn't been for their stalwart defence denying us.

Next up for us is an away game tomorrow night against Slovakia and if we manage to get full points then this will really put us in with a shout of beating the Auld Enemy to the top spot as next up is the game against them at the world famous Wembley Stadium, a ground made famous for not only its footballing history but also a place where many of the top musical acts have performed there so the place is steeped in history.

A game against England is no ordinary game, its a once in a lifetime opportunity to gain bragging rights, sure its a qualifier but it's always been the biggest game in the history of British football as far as I'm concerned. Firstly we need to go there on the back of a decent start to the campaign because I firmly believe a confident Scotland team can get a result at Wembley
