Muad gets my vote, because the Barca trio in the midfield can create a great game and provide pass to the forwards......but Ronaldo team is very powerful too......great game here......

[Magpie4eva]

This will be a great game.

I'm going for Muad but both teams have great squads.

[mattythewhite]

I'm going with Ronaldo9, although both teams have excellent players.

[Phatmann2003]

Finally, a close game! I voted for Muad because I really like his Barca midfield, who will be extremely effective, and I think he has a better defence.

[Charlie: 9]

Muad has arguably the best team ive seen, so, for me, he would win.

[Yossi]

Ronaldo has a stronger five man midfield, and all of his team are big and strong and could over power Muad's team physically.

[Usul]

Are you calling my players panzees?

[Yossi]

No, I'm saying the likes of Vieira and King in the middle, and Thuram and Samuel at the back, are very powerful.

[Usul]

Yes, it's true. I was just messing with you.

[Scarface]

:shocking: This was 8-2 to Muad at one point, now 9-8 to Ron.

I thought this would be a draw so voted for Ronaldo, maybe I should have saved voting to later, didn't think there'd be this many votes.

Very close game, two good centre back pairings, but both teams have a lot of quality going forward, and two very good midfields. I predict a 2-2 draw, with braces from Adriano and van Nistelrooy.

[Highway Penguin]

Tight game. I think it'd be a draw. Pretty equal all around.

[Hunter]

I'm going for Ronaldo on this, but just. Both teams are strong and are balanced going forward and both strong defensively. As James mentioned, some tough CB pairings which is good to see. I think with Ruud being on his very best form at this point in time, bagging over 20 so far this season with ease I could just see him scoring 2 or maybe even a hatrick with a bit of luck. We all know how much of a connection Beckham and Ruud made whilst at United, so Beck's crosses would catch out even the likes of Hyypia as he would whip one right round and into a gap on more than one occasion. However I also feel Adriano would score, probably 2 as well. With assists from Garcia and maybe Babel, but I can see Ronaldo's team just knicking it.

I think Muad will take this one. That midfield trio of his is very good and won't be out muscled by the opposition. Vieira and King will be hard to break too, so I see the battle in the middle of the park as being very good indeed.

Defensively both teams look strong. The centre back pairings are both strong, and whilst Ronnie9 has the bigger names, I don't think that will give him an edge over Muad's pair.

Both teams attacks will prove hard to contain. Adriano has been going through a bit of a drought recently, but i'd still back him to do the business. Babel is a fine young player who will cause numerous problems also, and with Garcia acting as provider Muad should be assured of a few goals. For Ronnie9, Zidane and RvN also looks very good. RvN will be able to get on the end of a lot of Zidane and Beckham passes and will surely bag a few too.

Damn close game, probably a 2-2, but I think Muad just shades this one.

[Ronaldo 9]

Tight game. I think it'd be a draw. Pretty equal all around.

That's why u voted for Muad?

[Owey]

I go for Ronaldo, football these days is mainly about midfield domination, and Ronaldo has the midfield for it. Playing Zidane behind Van Nistelrooy is a smart idea and tbh although it is close I think that Ronaldo's team could nick a win.

[Figо10]

I think this goes to Ron9. Although Gallas and Hyypia are great defenders, I feel that Samuel-Thuram is more complementing partnership. Marquez, Deco and van Bommel will string some good passes together and dominate midfield, despite Vieira being likely to win more tackles and 50-50s. Ron9's attacking midfield is great too, Zidane, Solari and Beckham, they cover pretty much every aspect of play. Although Adriano, Luis Garcia and Babel are capable of scoring, it'll be very difficult against Ron9's defensive wall, and I think van Nistelrooy's ability to score from pinpoint crosses from Beckham or through balls from Zidane will separate the two sides in this close contest.

[Usul]

That's why u voted for Muad?
My team was behind when he cast his vote.

Next time ask Owey to vote in the other games so it isn't so fucking obvious, ok?

[Rasheed Sharq]

I go for Ronaldo. I think Muad's attack has no chemistry. Garcia, Adriano and Babel are all too attacking and they may be selfish, such is Adriano's attitude at times. Ronaldo has a more compact team and plays all well together, this is why I vote him.
