From SpionKop of RAWK. He asked the fans about our game between us.
Lampard
Must admit though they are exremely cocky about beating us.
[B] What do you think of the World Club Championships and do you value it? [B/]
HarkHangel: Its just that, the World Club Championships. Which world championship dont have value?
juan manuel barboza Important for us , because we represent our country. I think is a good idea the wcc because there we'll see the most important teams of the world
Crox: Well its the Wolrd club Championship its supposed to tell what team is the ebst in the world
Mad Max: It's a big event. In Costa Rica we are treating it very seriously. Obviously it will take some time for the entire soccer community to pay attention, but it's the beginning of something that is prone to last. Some people wonder whether it will survive this time. It certainly will since it has full FIFA support and it has substantial financial sponsorship from Toyota, who won't be giving up on this one any time soon.
MSR: I think the organization of this tournament speaks for itself. Nobody can deny the fact that FIFA has put his effort in bringing the best in this WCC.
Publicado the bigest competition of the World, if you are a winner you want the first Place.
RobocoP: I think its a fairest competition than the old intercontinental cup, and as a world championship it supose to be the greatest competion on the world, for saprissa it means an oportunity for world recognition, glory and also it have good monetary incentives
Gabo: I think that the WCC is a good idea from the fifa, but it could be a bigger event.I value it, but is a shame that teams like Barcelona, Juventus and Chelsea don' t participate.
[B] What can you tell us about your progession to the competition and Deportivo Saprissa? [B/]
Crox: errrrrrrrrr i dont get the question.
Mad Max: Getting to the World Cup of Clubs was not easy and we had to defeat solid MLS (US) squads as well as very powerful Mexican squads, specifically Monterrey and Pumas. Since 1990 Costa Rican soccer has seen a steady increase, both at club and national level. Last time around, Liga Deportiva Alajuelense (our arch-rival) actually won the tournament (equivalent to your Champions league) that leads to the World Cup of Clubs. That year the event was not held. Saprissa won the year after that and right now we are about to play Liverpool in semi-finals. This is evidence that while the Mexican league might be more competitive than the Costa Rican league, the top-two Costa Rican squads continue to beat their Mexican counterparts.
MSR: Saprissa will play better against L'pool. Against Sydney FC Saprissa didn't give their best. We must keep growing as a squad that makes proud our football and shows it to the world.
Publicado We won a game but we want more, we are living a dream and the team will fight until the End.
RobocoP: The victory against sydney and the possibility to play whit a big tema as liverpool is something to be proud for us. But saprissa is in Japan to win the cup.
Gabo: I think that if we beat Liverpool we'll win the cup, and even if we don't we'll feel like we did.
[B] What do you know about Liverpool Football Club? [B/]
HarkHangel: We know everything, we got internet and television over here...
juan manuel barboza I can see you on television , and i think that you are a good team , but not imposible for us
Crox: as some1 overthere we know EVERYTHING.
Mad Max: Plenty; our view of soccer is very international and we try to learn as much as possible from other areas. Soccer has become much more international than people in certain areas want to believe. The reason is globalization of the sport and the increasing number of international players in the different leagues around the worlds. In Saprissa we have many players with international experience, but no international payers.
MSR: We know what L'pool can and can't do. As a country who loves football every week we follow the League and UCL games. I think The Reds are one of the best teams around the globe
Publicado The King of Europe, the winner of the Champions League.
RobocoP: It is one of the greatest teams in europe and the winner of the champions ligue.
Gabo: I can say three words for Liverpool= Defeated by Saprissa.
[B] Which player do you most fear from our side? [B/]
HarkHangel: Fear, nobody. Respect, to all.
juan manuel barboza: we know that you have good players like lampard, gerard , morientes, cisse, but like my mate , not fear but respect.
Crox: We dont have fear of your team we have respect for them.
Mad Max: It's a great team and I have great respect for your coach Benitez. He is a winner. Liverpool's winning spirit was demonstrated in the Champions league final and you have to respect an entire team that achieves that, not individuals. Benitez has made very clear the importance of the tournament for his team. Liverpool has had 3 chances (correct me if I'm wrong) to win the Intercontinental Cup (now World Cup of Clubs) but hasn't finished the job yet.
MSR: If you mean which player do we respect more I think he has to be Steven Gerrard. What a player!
Publicado Nobody, we respect all the players of liverpool, but Steven Gerrard is a Huge Star and all the world knows who is he.
RobocoP: Steven Gerrard or cisse are good players, but we don´t fear anyone.
Gabo: Cissé , Dudek
[B] Besides Saprissa do you have a favourite 'other' team? [B/]
HarkHangel: Saprissa its our passion... after that, o like Arsenal and Real Madrid...
juan manuel barboza: saprissa is the one for me, and also i like juventus
Crox: Saprissa is the reason we are all together, and some of us like european/italian/spanish teams, but our passion is Saprissa
Mad Max: In this forum you will find a mix. Everybody has their favorite English, Italian, and Spanish team. When in doubt, we all support teams where Costa Rican players might be playing. There is an amazing squad called Sapri in the calcio in one of the lower leagues that we highly admire. It's all in the name.
MSR: Sure! Real Madrid and AC Milan
Publicado Our Body, mind, heart and soul belongs to Saprissa, another favorite team is ( River Plate - Argentina )
RobocoP: there are teams as Racing club in argentina or Barcelona in spain. But a team that awake the same feelings as saprissa doesn't exist for me
[B] Who is your favourite player in your team and the world? [B/]
Crox: IN Saprissa its Jose Francisco Porras (Golie)
In the world Ronaldinho
Mad Max: People bleed purple around here. Saprissa is what we are all about and the happiness that our team brings to us in unsurpassable. It's a team we got, led by our childhood hero Hernan Medford, a former Saprissa player, extremely successful, proving to be equally successful as coach.
MSR: Gerrard from L'pool and Zizou.
Publicado In my team is the ( Goalkeeper - Porras ), in the World ( Paolo Maldini - AC-Milan, Italy )
RobocoP: Walter centeno in saprissa and ronaldinho from brazil
Gabo: My favorite player is Porras (q criollo)
[B] We have a big Spanish contingency at Anfield, are there any Costa Ricans we should be watching out for? [B/]
Mad Max: I will honestly let you see that for yourself during the game. You will see us again in the World Cup opening game. By then, however, most good players being hired internationally will have a contract or be very far in their negotiations.
MSR: May be Bolaños can sit down Luis García for a while
Publicado yes the midlefield "Pate" and the Goalkeeper "Porras"
[B] Finally, we look forward to Thursday, would you care to predict the score? [B/]
HarkHangel: Saprissa2- Reds1 ( two goals by Gerold Drummond...)
juan manuel barboza: saprissa 1- li'pool 0 ( iam agree with the other guy , drummond will score.
Crox: 0-0 and we win by penalties.
Mad Max: I think we have nothing much to lose and that will allow us to play at ease and put in play our best skills. I truly believe the betting odds show a disproportionate unevenness. Saprissa tends to rise to the occasion and paying against Liverpool you will see some solid soccer. Rest assured, we will go there to win, not to speculate on tying. Now, word of caution, if for some reason we make it to penalties, our record in such series is amazing, almost unbelievable. Game ends 2-2 and Saprissa wins in overtime.
Publicado Saprissa: "The purple monster" 1 - Liverpool 0.
RobocoP: 1-1 Saprissa won in penalties
Gabo 1-0 for Saprissa
Thanks to the lads at Saprissa and El Foro De La Ultra
