hear hear

def agree that Shaktar got what they deserved, esp. with the trash they were talking before the game saying that the Milan and Benfica wins were lucky. yesterday was on one my best days in a long time, got good grades on a test, got my new mandolin in the mail so i can start learning, and the HOOPS won!

c'mon hoops! we can make it into the knockout rounds again!

Lucky as fuck but who cares.

Thru to the last 16 and a cash windfall to follow.

So, Benfica is going to the UEFA Cup after all... better performance than last Saturday against Porto, at least, but that goddamn penalty... really unnecessary.

Meh. We won. Yipie.

No, I'm not aplz.

So thats at least one Scottish team and at least three English ones. Possibly two Scottish ones (win/draw at home for gers) and four English ones (if Liverpool win).

Not bad possibly six British teams in the last sixteen eh? All in our own hands too.

Don't get too greedy remember what happened last year. Three english teams out of the final four didn't end up winning. I'm not saying it will happen again but thats football for you.

since when are teams like ManU, Liverpool or Chelsea briish?

these teams only are on top of europe because of their foreign owners and players.


how many british teams are at the euro?

You could say that about almost all of the top teams in Europe though, who on average, will never start more than 4 players from the country they plan in. Roma, AC Milan, and Valencia are the exceptions, playing a minimum of 6 starters from Italy and Spain respectively, but none of them are considered among the top 5 challengers this time around. But who knows, Milan won last year. The point is you can't accuse just English teams of this type of foreign investment.

But to your last question, and I say this as a Brit, that yes, English players need to pick up they style and their attitude if they want to make an impact in 2010.

Since their inception.

None this year.... but remember who invented the game and be glad we did!!!

Who plays any German sports????

We have football, golf, rugby and so on and so forth.

Any other neutral fans excited for Liverpool vs. Marseilles and Lyon vs. Rangers? A wonderful week for football.

Gonna be watching Rangers Vs Lyon, I'm an Aberdeen Fan (hope we jam our way through to the UEFA Cup Knockout Stages) but Rangers being Scottish will hope they win.

Going to be a seriously tough night for the gers though. Could really use the Darsh Destroyer.

I was excited for Liverpool-Marseilles, but it would have been better if Marseilles made it somewhat of game

Marseilles should take solace that they didn't lose 8-0
