[Dragonfly]

It will be a close game. I can see Cali getting a goal with his attacking talent in Rooney, Pizzaro and Nedved, and Landzaat can also strike a ball really well. However, I think Martin's midfield will be too strong and will dictate things for the majority of the game, and will provide the attack with many chances.

2-1 to Martin.

[Bammers05]

I think Cranie will edge this

[Nedy]

I go for Martin here.

His defense looks very solid to stop Rooney and Pizarro, and his midfield has a lot of creativity there to pass balls to goalscorers as Berbatov and Gomez.

[Barry]

Cranie will win this, but Cali can certainly keep up. I can see Cranie's squad gel together well.

[-Jamster-]

Craine would win here for me, but seeing as Cali's losing i'll stick a vote for him.

[Original?]

Cranie would win in a high tempo game, 2/3-1.
