Will a draw be enough?

Internationale 0-0 United
UEFA Champions League Last 16; attendance 84,000
Used to watch big matches like this in awe of the San Siro and the stars of the world. But now with the players United have, the stars of the world come from Old Trafford too. Got stuck in, created chances but that away goal you desire didn't happen. Oh well. Some of that was down to Julio Cesar their goalkeeper. A lucky shot stopper I don't think so. He gets himself into the correct positions, and he needs to as Inter's defence isn't that solid.

Positively anticipating the second leg at Old Trafford. Already know we're going to be standing up throughout the entire game. Expecting the singing to be loud, and the atmosphere electric. Love a big European night it's what I go all year for. This tie is still in the balance, basically it is still 0-0 at half time. So will home advantage pay off? Can't call.

On a lighter note someone I know had a bet on how many cards would be brandished by the ref. That was Luis Medina Cantalejo, who apparently does a good line in red and yellows. Rooney even got one for his first tackle at about 85 minutes, why? He bet on four, no way near, it was six in all.
