[Nedy]

Good luck Hunter. Should be a good match.

[wan109]

Really close.
I vote for Nedy though.

Nedy.

Huntelaar and RvP are a mouth-watering prospect, however, with Makelele and Carrick being largely defensive-minded/holding players I can see Gattuso and Mascherano helping the already tough-to-breakdown defence of Gallas and Terry out a lot.

Iniesta is very comfortable to dictate the tempo of games and play in the two exciting wingers. With Messi and Quaresma supplying balls in, I can see Trezeguet, who impresses me greatly in the air, getting at least one goal. We all know what Messi is capable of, and he is a goal threat.

So, as I said, Nedy for me.

[Scarface]

This should be a terrific game.

Nedy looks stronger in the centre, and should take hold of the game there, however the opposition can have quite a bit of joy out wide.

Joe Cole will cause Chimbonda problems, while Nani has the beating of Miguel Torres.

Despite the home team's 3 pronged attack, I believe Hunter has the stronger attack, with Van Persie and Huntelaar familiar to playing together, and Joe Cole and Nani offering skill, pace and the threat of scoring from almost anywhere - same can be said of Van Persie.

In saying that, Messi has too much for Heinze to handle, so Mexes will have to cover the Argentine at times throughout the game.

This looks too close to call, so i'll sit on the defence and call a draw.

[McGregor]

Both have great teams but I have to opt for Nedy.

His attacking line is simple breathtaking and the pace of both Messi and Quaresma would cause no end of torment for Hunters right and left back. Also with an inform Trezeguet leading the line I see a number of goals in his favour but Hunter has the ability to cause problems and grab a goal or two.

Nothing clear cut but I predict Nedy winning by a score line of 3 goals to 2 or 2 goals to 1.

[Bammers05]

Draw for me. Hunter's behind, so I'll vote for him
