HP for me, but since I don't know who Kuijt is I think it would be better if he puts Robinho in his place and then Ronaldinho in the other...

[Sagdiyev]

Ok, we heard you the first time.

Its a fairly close game bit I think HP nicks it. I'm kind of busy at the moment, so I will probably elaborate on the vote later. :)

[Phatmann2003]

Esteban (Nedy) for me, but just barely. Very even game overall, but in my opinion Nedy would just nick it in the last minute.

I can't see how he has more fluid football, to be honest. Care to elaborate on it?

[Yossi]

Nedy's formation makes the game very compact in the midfield, and HP's wingers would capitalise.

[martin_cranie]

Very close in a few areas here.

HP's midfield is more experienced than Nedy's and so I think that will give him a slight edge. The forward trios are both good, but I think that the work ethic of Kuijt, the poaching and speed of Eto'o and the trickery of Robinho will just about prevail ahead of Nedy'd guys. Defensively HP takes it quite comfortably.

A very well played match Nedy, but i'm affraid I have to vote for HP.

Close game here. I think Martin summed it up real well, but for me, Nedy will take this. The trio of Messi (who is in hot form) Wiltord and Quaresma is really good. Eto'o, Robinho and Kuyt are almost too attacking and will always leave Demichelis doing the hard job. I think Nedy will take this because his midfield looks more compact to me. Nedy, you have my vote.

Very close game though.
