[dimitrivdr]

Rafa: Solid with a taste of speed along the wings, not to mention Koller's huge frame in the box to keep Huth and Albiol occupied...

Although the G's defence leaves much to be desired the attack and mf are just made for high-speed break-outs that should limit Roberto Carlos' attacking influence.

I see Rafa winning this, mainly thanks to Koller's efforts on set-pieces, but the G will give Kovac and Meira a few sleepless nights for sure.

Good luck -G-

[Del Piero]

Win for Rafa.

Maybe the G would do something totally different with his team so im not going to comment on his team for now.

I like rafas defence, id prob put sorensen in over kirkland.

R.Oliveira/Koller i think is a great partnership Kolers huge frame will muscle out anyone allowing him to flick balls onto Oliveira and he certainly isnt goal shy!

[Nedy]

Rafa to win here. An excellent defense and a very strogn midfield, with two greats goalscorers on front. Great team there Rafa.

[grimmer101]

Rafa for me as i think his team is amazing he is nearly unstopable every postition

[Preki-USA]

Rafa for me in a close encounter.

[Hunter]

I'd have to vote for the draw, therefore my vote goes to The G to hopefully tie this game up somewhat. Koller will be one of his attacking outlets, hoping to kick the ball for him to flick on maybe. Although with Huth in the centre of G's defence, he'll have a much more difficult time doing so.

Rafa 1 - 1 G

Good game -G-

Rafa 2 - 1 G
