With each year are becoming more and more powerful clubs in the second most important European tournament. Soon the incandescence in the European League will be no less than the Champions League. I think all games will be very interesting. Good luck to all the Russian clubs, I hope they all take place in the quarterfinals, it could be, like, will be the first time in history when three Russian club will be in the quarterfinals of the European tournament. Especially look forward to Zenit and CSKA Moscow, who in turn will play with the Portuguese Porto. CSKA hope to win, because we very much needed points in the UEFA coefficient table, because Portugal has overtaken us and took 5 th place, giving the right to expose the 6 clubs in Eurocups. Finally FC Spartak ... It will be very memorable match, because the dream come true for all of Spartak fans, because he will finally play with the Dutch Ajax. Finally can wish good luck and Dynamo Kiev, I hope that as I also see them in the quarterfinals. :D
 
I watched CSKA vs PAOK and I wasn't impressed with CSKA performance..even though they deserved to win. Is it because you're still on pre season or CSKA is not as strong as the past years?

Most likely they have not departed from the pre-season, so so bad and play. When CSKA Moscow will play with Porto, we will begin the championship, so hopefully they come up to date and show their true game Porto.:COOL:
 
Here are my bets:
Metalist Kharkov v Leverkusen
BATE Borisov v PSG
Benfica v Stuttgart
Lille v PSV
Rubin v Twente
Sevilla v Porto
PAOK v CSKA Moscow
Aris v Manchester City
Young Boys v Zenit
Basel v Spartak Moscow
Besiktas v Dynamo Kiev
Lech Poznan v Braga
Anderlecht v Ajax
Rangers v Sporting Lisbon
Napoli v Villarreal
Liverpool v Sparta Praghe

Hmm ... It looks like the next season of Eurocups from Russia will be represented by only five teams, because of us there is only Moscow Spartak. Although after such a victory over Ajax its not worth to write off.:P

*Tie reversed, Dynamo at home in first leg
 
Fantastic performance by Villareal.
Strange match: Twente were clearly the better team for the first 20 minutes (Villareal were even booed by their own public). Then Villareal scored a corner goal and from then on they totally dominated Twente.
Poor Gooch Onyewu, what a terrible match he had.
Santiago Cazorla played a terrific match.
 
I still belive in an epic final: SL Benfica vs FC Porto

Probably one of the best football derbies to watch around the world...
 
Watch out Villareal! They play quality football, surely won't be easy to Porto beat them. So will be Benfica against Braga but I'm rooting for a Clássico in the final. Dublin will be the capital of Portugal for one day.

They said in TV that our tie was reversed so we play at home the first leg. I have to confirm this.
 
André Villas-Boas and Juan Carlos Garrido playing battleship

AVB: So I'm gonna say F4*
Garrido: Holy s*** submarine down!

:LOL:


* Falcao - 4 goals :WORSHIP:
 
Love watching Porto play, they just love to score more and more goals.

Falcao is the master with his head.
