Opponents : Sao Paulo

Date : Sunday December 18 @ 10.20 am GMT

Venue : Yokohama - this ground hosted the world cup final three years ago

Sao Paulo take on the Reds having made their way as expected to the final
of the World Club Championship. The Brazilian side saw off Al Ittihad in
the other semi final of the tournament.

Sao Paulo came to the tournament as reigning Copa Libertadores champions.
To even qualify for that tournament they must finish very high in the
Brazilian championship and then defeat other sides within South America.
They did that by beating Atletico Paranaense 5-1 on aggregate in the final.

Sao Paulo - known as Tricolores

The side has won the competition under it's old guise back in 1992 and
1993. Firstly they beat Barcelona in 92 and then retained the trophy the
following year when beating AC Milan. Those games back then represent the
other two occasions that the Brazilians have won the Copa Libertadores. On
top of that they have won 3 national championships and 21 state championships.

The side are an excellent outfit and certainly have one or two individuals
to watch out for. Cicinho - the long term replacement at right back for
Cafu in the Brazil side is an attacking defender. He is heavily tipped to
join Real Madrid in the new year.

The player that most eyes will be on though is Rogerio Ceni. He has over 45
goals to his name including one in this very tournament. The strange part
of this is that he is the Sao Paulo keeper. If they are awarded a penalty
kick or a direct free kick watch for the arrival of Ceni.

Squads :

Liverpool : Jerzy Dudek, Stephen Warnock, Steve Finnan, Sami Hyypia, John
Arne Riise, Harry Kewell, Steven Gerrard, Djibril Cisse, Luis Garcia,
Florent Sinama-Pongolle, Jose Reina, Scott Carson, Xabi Alonso,Peter
Crouch, Didi Hamann, Josemi, Fernando Morientes, Djimi Traore, Momo
Sissoko, Jamie Carragher.

Team Stats : This is the third time the Reds have taken part in the World
Club Championship. The other two occasions the Reds have lost in 1981 and
1984. Flamengo defeated the Reds 3-0 in December 1981. Then in 1984
Independientes defeated the Reds by a single goal to nil in Tokyo.

Player Stats : Luis Garcia will hope to score his 20th goal for the Reds in
this game.

Fernando Morientes is one goal shy of double figures in a Liverpool shirt.

Steven Gerrard leads the scoring charts for the Reds this season. He has 12
goals.

Betting : Liverpool Evens, Sao Paulo 23/10, Draw : 21/10

Overall Tournament Odds : Liverpool 8/15, Sao Paulo 11/8

Liverweb Prediction : Liverpool 2 Sao Paulo 0

Liverpool 3 Deportivo Saprissa 0

Liverpool : Reina, Josemi, Carragher, Hyypia, Traore, Riise, Gerrard(C),
Alonso, Sissoko, Crouch, Cisse

Subs Used : Pongolle for Gerrard (64), Garcia for Hyypia (72), Hamann for
Alonso (79)

Subs Unused : Dudek, Carson, Warnock, Kewell, Morientes, Finnan

Att : 43,902

Ref : Carlos Chandia (Chile)

The Reds went through to the final with some ease against their Costa Rican
opponents. In doing so the club set a new record for consecutive clean
sheets. Eleven in a row surpasses the ten set in 1988. The win brought
about Rafa Benitez's 50th in charge of the Reds from just 90 games and
Peter Crouch scored the Reds' first ever goal in the world club Championship.

The Reds came out in Yokohama wearing their all Red European kit adorning a
FIFA world Championship logo on the sleeve rather than the Champions League
5 times logo. It was the Reds who got the game underway on a cold evening
in Japan. Josemi replaced the still tired Finnan at right back whilst
Djibril Cisse returned up front to partner Peter Crouch.

The first couple of minutes saw the Reds have a lot of possession without
doing an awful lot. Then on three minutes came the perfect start. The Reds
broke down the left side of midfield. Riise played a good cross in to Cisse
who instantly sat it up for Crouch who managed to get himself set and
volleyed the ball home for the ideal start. One nil after just three minutes.

The Reds dominated this game which reminded me an awful lot of a pre-season
friendly in mid Europe. The Reds looked the far better side who could step
it up a gear whenever they needed to. In fact it was thirteen minutes
before Saprissa really had an effort on goal. That came from a corner which
was headed from the edge of the are on to the roof of the net.

On seventeen minutes the Reds could easily have doubled their lead.
Carragher played a ball through their back line which Crouch got on to the
end of but as he shaped to shoot he was superbly tackled and the chance had
gone. The Reds were playing slowly and patiently before catching Saprissa
on the break in the main.

On twenty minutes one of the fast break saw Cisse tear down the right hand
side. He crossed the ball to the far side of the area where Riise headed
down towards the near post. The keeper flapped at it before it was sent
clear for a corner kick.

The clearest chance for Saprissa came on twenty seven minutes when the
number 12 was played through between Carragher and Hyypia. As he raced
between them with only Reina to beat he shot from the edge of the area but
thankfully it went wide. It jolted the Reds back in to action and within
four minutes they were two up. Riise broke down the left and with both
Cisse and Gerrard keeping pace with him their were two options. Cisse
strayed offside but Riise pinged the ball to the back and Gerrard. The Reds
captain let the ball come across him before hammering a volley home from
the edge of the area.

This was pretty much game over. The Reds were in complete charge and
breaking almost at will. Alonso will never have so much time on the ball
again I doubt. This was now a case of would the Reds over stretch
themselves physically in getting a few more goals or conserve energy whilst
dominating possession.

As half time approached Crouch was forced to leave the field for a minute
or so whilst he had a bloody mouth looked at by the medical staff. No major
damage done though and the tall striker continued to play. After just one
extra minute of time at the end of the half the interval was upon us.

The two sides came out after the break with Saprissa making one change.
They got the game underway but just as the first half the Reds had the
first chance. Cisse won a free kick on the right corner of the box. Gerrard
played it on and Cisse won the header but the flick to the back post sailed
just wide.

Saprissa started a little better in the second half and without having the
Reds under much pressure were starting to make a game of it. That all
changed on fifty eight minutes though when the Reds went three up. Steven
Gerrard played a superb ball through from the centre circle to Riise on the
left. He got the ball and cut inside but with poor control the move looked
over. However poor defending and good anticipation from Crouch meant he
suddenly had a clear chance to score which after forcing the keeper to
commit slotted the ball home. Game over for sure now.

With the game over as a contest the Reds took the advantage to rest a
couple of players as time went on. Pongolle came on after sixty four
minutes for Gerrard. Almost straight away Pongolle had a good chance to
score. He broke down the inside right before flicking the ball to Cisse.
Cisse flicked it straight back in where Pongolle took it in his stride but
having not shot first time he was closed down and the chance went begging.

Three minutes later and Crouch nearly scored a hat-trick. He pulled the
ball down superbly and then flicked it around his man but with the ball
just in front of him stretched at the shot and blazed it over. Luis Garcia
came on after seventy one minutes for Hyypia which seemed an odd change to
begin with. Traore moved inside with Riise dropping back to left back and
Garcia left midfield.

The final fifteen minutes saw Saprissa have the odd chance and with the
record for clean sheets on the line it was certainly heart in the mouth
stuff at times. On seventy five Reina stopped a free kick going in at the
last minute after everyone failed to touch it on its way in.

Didi Hamann replaced Alonso for the last eleven minutes of the game but by
this time it was a case of getting to the final whistle in tact and un
injured really. Saprissa caused a few anxious goal moments in the final
minutes but it was never going to affect the result. Thankfully those
chances for them didn't come to anything though and the Reds kept yet
another clean sheet.

After just two extra minutes of play at the end of the second half the
referee from Chile blew for time and the Reds were in to the final on
Sunday. They will meet Sao Paulo who had watched the match in the stadium.
With the Reds coming through this at a leisurely stroll they have a few
things to think about.

MotM : John Arne Riise - got up and down his side of midfield superbly well
and had a hand in all three goals before sitting firm at left back for the
final twenty minutes of the game.

Opponents : Deportivo Saprissa
Date : Thursday December 15 @ 10.20 am GMT

years ago and has a capacity of 72,370

Deportivo Saprissa are the Reds' first opponents in the
Championship. Their history is that they were formed back in 1935 in
San Jose, Costa Rica.

Honours wise they have won 23 Costa Rican league titles. That have
twice won the Central American Championships and won the CONCACAF on
three occassions. They last won that earlier this year which is how
they qualified for the tournament. In order to play the Reds they
have so far beaten Sydney United 1-0.

The club was recently bought out when in 2003 Jorge Vergara took
control. He hails from Mexico and also owns Chivas USA. The teams'
head coach is Hernan Medord and star player for them is striker
Ronald Gomez. The side is best known to people as the Purple
Monsters.

Squads :

Liverpool : Jerzy Dudek, Stephen Warnock, Steve Finnan, Sami Hyypia,
John Arne Riise, Harry Kewell, Steven Gerrard, Djibril Cisse, Luis
Garcia, Florent Sinama-Pongolle, Jose Reina, Scott Carson, Xabi
Alonso,Peter Crouch, Didi Hamann, Josemi, Fernando Morientes, Djimi
Traore, Momo Sissoko, Jamie Carragher.

Saprissa : GK : Jose Porras, Fausto Gonzalez, Keylor Navas

Def : Victor Cordero, Ronald Gonzalez, Jervis Drummond, Reynaldo
Parks, Juan Esquivel, Andres Nunez, Gabriel Badilla, Jose Fonseca,
Tray Bennett

Mid : Christian Bolanos, Walter Centeno, Pablo Brenes, Alonso Solis,
Saul Phillips, Jose Luis Lopez, Randall Azofeifa

Str : Allan Aleman, Ronald Gomez, Alvaro Saborio, Gerold Drummond

Team Stats : This is the third time the Reds have taken part in the
World Club Championship. The other two occasions the Reds have lost
in 1981 and 1984. Flamengo defeated the Reds 3-0 in December 1981.
Then in 1984 Independientes defeated the Reds by a single goal to
nil in Tokyo.

A win for the Reds would be the 50th win under the reign of Rafa
Benitez. This is his 90th game in charge of the Reds.

Should the Reds keep a clean sheet in this game it will set a new
club record of eleven clean sheets on the bounce. They last conceded
a goal against Crystal Palace when going out fo the League cup on
October 25th. If the Reds last at least 75 minutes of the game
without conceding it will take them past the 1000 minute marker.

Player Stats : Luis Garcia will hope to score his 20th goal for the
Reds in this game.

Fernando Morientes is one goal shy of double figures in a Liverpool
shirt.

John Arne Riise will be looking to start his tenth match of the
season in this one.

Florent Sinama Pongolle will hope to play in his 10th match of the
season.

Steven Gerrard and Djibril Cisse lead the scoring charts for the
Reds this season. They both have 11 goals each.

Betting : Liverpool 4/11, Saprissa 7/1, Draw : 11/4

Overall Tournament Odds : Liverpool 10/11, Saprissa 11/1

Liverpool 2 Middlesboro 0

Liverpool : Reina, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Riise, Alonso, Gerrard(c),
Sissoko, Kewell, Crouch, Morientes

Subs Used : Garcia for Crouch (66), Cisse for Kewell (81), Josemi for
Morientes (86)

Subs Unused : Dudek, Warnock

Att : 43,510

Ref : Steve Bennett

The Reds equalled the record of consecutive clean sheets in the early kick
off against Boro. A tenth clean sheet in a row made the base for a
relatively comfortable win at Anfield. Two goals from Morientes in the
second half rounded off a decent display and sends the Reds off to Japan
for the world club Championship in fine form.

The Reds came out to huge applause as ever at Anfield whilst Boro saluted
those Boro fans who had made the journey down to Liverpool. They certainly
never had a full allocation with them though. It was Boro who got the game
underway attacking the Kop end in the first half.

The Reds looked to attack from the off but one noticeable thing about Boro
is that they all seem to be built hugely on their upper bodies. This was
going to be a strong battle to break them down. Gerrard had three attempts
at goal in the first five minutes. It was only the third one though that
forced Schwarzer in to a routine save. One worry in the early stages of the
game was Alonso who seemed to have taken one of his sleeping tablets just
before the game.

Boro had decent early possession without massively troubling the Reds.
Viduka up front for them was in good form. He hardly missed a header or
pull down all game. He has decent skill for all his critics but for all his
good work he wasn't given enough support from midfield.

The Reds went really close on twenty three minutes to firing the opening
goal. Morientes met a cross superbly well to head on target only to see
Schwarzer tip it just over the bar. It was the first header of many that
had finally put Schwarzer on the back foot.

The Reds were gradually turning the screw and producing chances. The
question now was when would it turn into goals. The difference was the Reds
getting the ball down and controlling it. Crouch had headers saved and
Kewell was starting to get in goal positions too. Then on thirty nine
minutes Southgate strode forward. The Reds just seemed to back away and
must have been grateful that Southgate fired his shot wide in the end.

The Reds had a glorious chance two minutes later but of all people it fell
to Sissoko. The ball just fell invitingly for him in the middle of the area
eight yards out but he powered his header straight at Schwarzer. It's one
of those things that makes Sissoko remain the raw but undoubted talent that
he is. Once he adds that final something to his game he will be sure to be
an even better player than he is now.

The Reds subs were put through their usual half time warm up with Pako
although none were making an instant start in the second half. Boro came
out first closely followed by the Reds who started the second half off.

Just under two minutes into the second half and the Red really rode their
luck. Viduka was played in behind the Reds' defence but Reina was out well
and loomed large at the striker before saving well with his leg. A definite
wake up for the Reds as this could easily have gone wrong.

The Reds reacted well and Riise had along range effort just over the bar
six minutes into the half. Morientes then went close before Kewell almost
broke the deadlock with a superb lob. Sadly for Kewell just as the ball was
dropping in Schwarzer got back to tip the ball over the bar.

Twenty minutes into the half and Sissoko flew in on Bates and could have no
argument at being booked again. What followed though was a reaction from
Bates who pushed Sissoko over. Steve Bennett jumped in and rightly booked
Momo but just booked Bates as well. That could easily have been a sending
off for raising hands but the cards took the heat out of the situation.

The Reds brought Luis Garcia on for Crouch on sixty seven minutes with the
Reds in need of a change. They were just starting to look slightly off the
pace. Within four minutes the Reds were ahead and Garcia was heavily
involved. He whipped a cross in from the edge of the area. Gerrard ducked
which allowed the ball to fall to an unmarked Morientes. With time to bring
it down he duly slammed the ball past Schwarzer in to the back of the net.

In between the sub and the goal Hyypia had been forced off the pitch with a
head injury. Physio and club doctor both ran to the dressing room with him.
By the time Hyypia came back it was 1-0 and Hyypia came back on bandaged up
heavily. His first action was in his own box defending a Boro attack. It
was destined for the bandaged giant to head clear.

The Reds sealed the game on seventy seven minutes through Morientes once
again. Carra played a ball down the inside right channel towards Garcia but
it was headed back by a Boro player. Morientes who had probably been
offside was now onside, ran through and lobbed a helpless Schwarzer. Two
nil and game over now.

One last controversial moment still to come in the game though as Chris
Riggott was sent off for a second booking. His first card came when he went
through Morientes. No-one could complain at this one but then five minutes
later he caught Gerrard on the ankle from behind and referee Bennett
decided it was another yellow card and the defender was forced off. It was
a tad harsh given that Bennett had let tonnes of fouls from Boateng go
without even speaking to him.

After Riggott went off the Reds simply kept hold of the ball superbly well
and made Boro look like they had that man short. Garcia had a late chance
but Schwarzer was out well to deny him and the game finished with the Reds
2-0 winners. Another clean sheet and two more goals from the strike force.
On to the world club championship in Japan in fine winning form.

MotM : Momo Sissoko - despite the booking and his goal miss he was superb
in midfield on the day. He broke up loads of play which Boro threatened at
times to dominate.
