How is it that Liverpool plays so well in the CL and so mediocre in the premiership? It's like night and day. They better hope they win the CL again because they won't finish in the top 4 in england.
I think I have been 100 % wrong with my predictions here so far in these threads. So let me just say that Bayern will lose to Brugge and Vienna .
I'll take the Rangers. I don't know anything tho'. Anyone know how to keep your shots low on the winning 11 game, I keep shooting over the cross bar. I try to tap the mo fo and the ball still launches over the bar.
Match Day 6 is about to start. Some big teams, like AC Milan, PSV and Man United must get results in order to advance to the knockout round.
Upset watch: Manchester United need a victory to advance to the knockout round (a draw with a Villareal win woud work as well), and they're trailing Benfica 2-1 at the half on ESPN2. Are Fergie's days numbered?
Gutted. Time to clean house at Old Trafford. Sack Fergie, Rooney is the only player worth keeping on the team.
United looked terrible today. I was shocked. Anyways, the draw for the knockout rounds is next friday, I'm pretty sure. How about Udinese, all they needed was a draw, and two goals in the last four minutes sent them to the UEFA Cup. Group Winners Juventus Arsenal Barcelona Villarreal AC Milan Lyon Liverpool Internazionale Second Place Teams Bayern Munich Ajax Werder Bremen Benfica PSV Real Madrid Chelsea Rangers There's quite a bit of variety. Rangers are a very bad team - they've got to be the draw any top seed would want. Villarreal are clearly out of place amongst the top seeds, and Inter aren't exactly the most consistent of teams.

What a draw for the round of 16! Some great matches to watch, should be lot of fun. Chelsea vs Barca Arsenal vs Real Madrid Bayern Munich vs AC Milan Benfica vs Liverpool PSV vs Lyon Ajax vs Inter Rangers vs Villareal Werder Bremen vs Juventus
Wow, some mouthwatering matches. I hope ESPN shows Chelsea vs Barca!!! Did they show the draw on T.V. anywhere?
My predictions: Chelsea vs Barca (really tough call. I can't wait to watch this game) Arsenal vs Real Madrid Bayern Munich vs AC Milan Benfica vs Liverpool PSV vs Lyon (Go Beasley!!!) Ajax vs Inter Rangers vs Villareal Werder Bremen vs Juventus
The English clubs seem to get preferential treatment when it comes to games shown here in the States, so I'll doubt we'll miss any of that action. I hope that they show Bayern vs. AC Milan at least once. Great matchups all around.
I'm not realy happy that Psv has to play lyon, however psv beat them last year, so maybe they can get an upset again. i do not think Ajax can beat Inter, Ajax is playing verry poorly this year. I think: Barca beats Chelsea Real Madrid beats Arsenal ( i really hope not) Bayern Munich beats AC Milan Liverpool beats Benfica Lyon beats PSV Inter beats Ajax Villareal beats Rangers Juventus beats Werder Bremen
It's almost here! A little over a week before these matches start. I looked up the listings and ESPN2 is showing some of the games (the best ones in my opinion): Real Madrid vs Arsenal (2/21) 1:30PM (That's my b-day so I'll be at home chilling watching the game Barcelona vs Chelsea (2/22) 1:30PM I am pulling for Real and Barca to advance.
Bump, before the round of 16 starts in a abot an hour and a half. Here are today's matches: Bayern Munchen-AC Milan Benfica-Liverpool Real Madrid-Arsenal PSV-Lyon
