I havent seen an interview mourinho to publicly state that he want motta,maybe im wrong but i havent yet

I think you were on holiday or something. I can't find the link but he said something like "Motta will give us an extra 5 or 6 goals from midfield."

I understood the meaning of the word "Retard" while reading the last page of this thread. Wtf...... :howler:

"Motta will give us an extra 5 or 6 goals from midfield." OK now ur assumption is that he publicly said that he wanted him. You are wrong as he never said he he personaly wanted him.I remember this quote and that was post transfer.I remember a time when chelsea bought shevchenko and he said that the best transfer chelsea ever made.According to ur rationale mourinho badly wanted shevcheko?

Anyway whether it is moratti or mourinho it doesnt make a lot of difference now that is in our team.

When they say "Round of x", the 'X' means number of teams playing. So the first knockout stage is round of 16(before round of 32) because there is 16 teams playing.

With 1/x terminology, the X doesn't mean the number of teams, but the number of pairs playing. So 1/1 is the final, because there is only 1 pair playing left.

So 1/2 is the semi-final, 1/4 is the quarter final, and 1/8 is the first knockout stage where there is 16(8 pairs) playing.
You're not making any sense and are contradicting yourself. :D

If "Round of x, the 'X' means number of teams playing" it means semi-final is 1/4 because 4 teams are playing. But down there you said semi-final is 1/4. :D

Anyways, post moved to a separate thread.

FUCK!!! 1/4 FINAL is QUARTERS OF THE FINAL. SO, in 1/4 final is 4 times more teams than in final. 2x4=8. Round of 8.

Please see the below for future reference and let's never argue about this again because my head hurts :D

Yellow cells are the common naming convention. The confusion exists because they switch the naming from row 1 to row 3, and because the variable in row 1 and row 2 is not the same (no. of teams vs no. of matches). I think that should cover it. If I made a mistake I'm gonna go kill myself.

Edit: Oh, and the rounds are all "Knockout rounds". In CL, Round of 16 is the first knockout round and the final is the Fourth knockout round. In the table above, round of 32 is the first knockout round, and the final is the Fifth knockout round. The number of knockout rounds = log [number of team] / log 2. So if we have 1024 teams, log 1024 / log 2 = 10 knockout rounds.

:sweeteye:

Han, did you drink too much coffee today or somethin ? I've said semi-final is 1/2 not 1/4, it says right over there, and how can you mix "Round of X", with "1/X" terms, when I clearly seperated them ?

Anyways, does Ehsan table make you think differently towards my post, or still not ? ;)
