Hpoefully feyenoord will help the Kiev and and the toon by beating proberbly the groups strongest side.

[Dante]

The Magpies will flop in the wind tonight, they'll be in the same spot in the CL table as they are in the PL table.

Buffon

UEFA.Com

They have the continuous updates and they have a special offer for listening to the games live.

It's your best bet

They're missing a player

[SueB]

Special offer? As in $$$? Is it possible to follow just one game at a time there (not listening)?

[SueB]

Okay, it's a free trial. Probably start costing money sometime soon. Way cool. Listening to the panel show right now.

[SueB]

Oop, sorry - that was probably my typo. How could I forget Tacchinardi. :rolleyes:

[SueB]

Wait, did you sign up for Match Pass? I tried the free trial Super Pass thing, and it said click here for UK users and click here for other European countries. What gives?

[Dante]

I'm at work, so they'd probably frown if I listened to it, but I do have the little window open with the continuous results.

[Dante]

Birrindelli has replaced Moretti in the lineup.

[SueB]

The "Free trial" requires a credit card number, but supposedly you won't get charged if you cancel in 14 days. I tried it, but got a message about "technical difficulties" signing me up. Just as well - I'm at work, too! ;) Thought these headphones I have were finally going to come in handy, but I guess not.

[SueB]

I didn't realize Juve had picked up Chimenti as their backup keeper. Hope Buffon doesn't ever get hurt :)

You can still listen to the panel show for free.

[SueB]

Yes, I did - that's what got me all excited, thinking I was going to hear the game. Then I clicked on it, and bleh. But at least the on-line match tracker is pretty good. That's all I was hoping for in the first place :)

If Feyenoord were looking for a psychological advantage over Juventus in tomorrow night's Champions League opener they could do worse than turn to South Korea international Chung gug Song.

[SueB]

Sounds good in the very early-going for Juve.

[SueB]

Crap. Already a yellow for Ferrara. Don't they have anybody younger and better than him to start these days - or is he just in really good form. Tudor? Iuliano? Fresi?
