The latest shock for English soccer: After a 3:0 lead against Bayern Munich Manchester United exits from the Champions League. And with the exception of Arjen Robben’s miraculous strike at Old Trafford Bayern did not even shine as in the first leg at home. For the first time since seven years there’s no Premier League club left in the semi-finals. Do the standards decline in the motherland of football? Ferguson’s hateful remarks against Bayern players after the game were worthless to say the least. Maybe he was intoxicated having chewed too frantically on his gum.
