I really think there are a lot of suprises in this phase of competition,like Petrzalka,Thun,Rapid Wienna...in Champions league?

[Mad2Ad]

i would like to see an english team win it again
or real madrid because they have three english players(probably be two after michael owen leaves)

Like you Soha I'm sad to because my country club (Partizan Belgrade) lost from Petrzalka Artmedia. :cry:
And it's suprise too because Partizan was favourite.
P.S. JJU, nice avatar. :)

[Mad2Ad]

i think that arsenal and man u have the best groups

[Soha]

in my opinion that the best are groups A,F,G

[Dimitrije]

in my opinion that the best are groups A,F,G
Yup!

[Mad2Ad]

in my opinion that the best are groups A,F,G

wat in terms of entertainment
or some teams in the groups will find it easy

[Soha]

teams like artmedia and fc thun are good for me- i will probably win some money from betting :D

[Dimitrije]

I'v wrong in my last post.They'r all good.

[Mad2Ad]

its unbelivable how many good teams there are now in the champions league if they played the old format then lots of very good teams would miss out on playing in the champions league

[JJU]

I'm chuffed Arsenal got Thun, that should be 6 points in the bag. Ajax and Sparta will provide good competion though. Ajax and Arsenal to go through :D

Liverpool vs Chelsea will be interesting, but none of the groups really have 3 'giants', which I suppose is the point of the seedings.

[Soha]

it won't be interesting in any group. in each are 2 teams which should qualify to next round :(

[Dimitrije]

Yeah...You'r right.

[Mad2Ad]

Group C:
Barcelona : Panathinaikos : Werder Bremen : Udinese
Group D:
Manchester United : Villarreal : Lille : Benfica

you cant say who is going to probably be the team that finishes second in these groups and there are always upsets in the champions league.

[Soha]

in my opinion: villareal and from 2nd group will be battle for 2nd place. but there are only 2 from 8 groups interesting like that.

i bet there will be some upsets in some groups there always are

[FCKBO]

Chelsea and Liverpool in the same group!!

[Soha]

chelsea will qualify to next round in 100% and liverpool shouldn't have problems with betis and anderlecht. these two teams are good too but not enough

[Mad2Ad]

yeh liverpool will go through cause they like being underdogs
