Yea i watched the Juve Match they played extremely good momo sissoko is just a monster in the midfield for juve he was definitely their MOTM as for fiorentina the first two goals were defensive errors they just couldnt handle a big team like Bayren they werent organised in the back at all and nothin to show for in attack

I think the press are hyping
up the win for Juve vs. RMCF.
I think Madrid are not that strong
this year.

Ok, logically if Juve are that tough
wouldn't they be fairing well
vs. many lesser sides in Serie A?
Maybe Serie A is much tougher than
La Liga right now?

Today's fixtures:

Group Home Away

A Bordeaux 20:45 CFR Cluj

A Chelsea 20:45 Roma

B Internazionale 20:45 Anorthosis

B Panathinaikos 20:45 Bremen

C Shakhtar 20:45 Sporting

I am no football pundit but I think Serie A is the toughest league. Especially, if you consider the mid-table and lower-table teams.

Results from Wednesday's games:

Group Home Away

A Bordeaux 1-0 CFR Cluj

A Chelsea 1-0 Roma

B Internazionale 1-0 Anorthosis

B Panathinaikos 2-2 Bremen

C Shakhtar 0-1 Sporting

C Basel 0-5 Barcelona

D Atlético 1-1 Liverpool

D PSV 2-0 Marseille

I hope the CL goes some where outside England, Spain & Italy. I thought if Arshavin fired up, Zenit had a chance to surprise many, but they got a very tough group So I would I like to see either Bayern Munich or Lyon winning the CL & if I include England, Spain & italy as well then this is my wishlist:-
1- Bayern Munich
2- Lyon
3- Zenit
4- Villareal
5- Athletico Madrid
6- Inter Milan
7- Juventus
8- Chelsea
9- Barcelona
10- Any one but Man Utd, Liverpool & Arsenal

Unlike some ACM fans I don't have any hard feelings for Juve & Inter. I like their big players. Del Peiro, J. Zanetti, Nedved & Buffon are among my favorite players. I want either Bayern or Lyon to win the CL, so I can't say Fiorentina as well bcoz they all in the same group & surely Bayern & Lyon will progress, though this Gila+Mutu combination is an exciting one
I think Fiorentina & Zenit got unlucky with their tough groups. Some groups are pretty easy like group A, C & G Both teams will end up in UEFA Cup. Just imagine these semi finalists in the UEFA Cup
AC Milan, Zenit, Valencia & Ajax/Fiorentina

AC Milan vs Valencia will be a Big final

Matchday 4 I believe...

Group Home Away
A CFR Cluj 20:45 Bordeaux
A Roma 20:45 Chelsea
B Anorthosis 20:45 Internazionale
B Bremen 20:45 Panathinaikos
C Sporting 20:45 Shakhtar
C FC Barcelona 20:45 Basel
D Liverpool 20:45 Atlético
D Marseille 20:45 PSV

goal for Bordeaux .... goal for Gourcuff!

Roma skin Chelsea. Shocking. Almost as shocking as Gerrard's dive against Atletico.

And Inter...man oh man...hahah

I thought Karagounis' shot against Werder Bremen was goal of the round, what a strike!

Great match yesterday between liverpool and atletico
Even the referee was superb
For a moment I thought it was De Santis
obviously I was mistaken
