Five Quick European Football Thoughts

1. End result is a win for Inter and Jose Mourinho in the Super Cup against Roma. Always good for psychological reasons to one up your rival so early in the season. Letting in that late Vucinic goal is unlike Mourinho’s teams mind you. That will need to be sorted out before the season starts.

2. What was Valencia doing giving up three goals to a nine man Real Madrid team?

3. Saw that Samaras scored two goals over the weekend for Celtic. He never got a fair shake at Manchester City. What is City’s loss will certain turn into Celtic gain as the years go by.

4. Tough loss by Lille giving up two injury time goals to Rennes. Those are games that could take a couple of matches to recover from.

5. Benfica 1-1 against newly promoted Rio Ave??? This is the second season in a row that Benfica drew against a newly promoted team. Not the start that new coach Quique Flores hoped for.

    #2 – Valencia letting in goals being up 2 men…. That was unbelievable. Talk about going to sleep. Robben was like Godzilla going through Tokyo… absolutely terrorizing Valencia’s left side.
