Baia out of the game for sure: Porto goalkeeper Baia to miss Champions League tie LISBON, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Porto goalkeeper Vitor Baia will miss the Champions League game against CSKA Moscow on Wednesday because of a thigh injury, the Portuguese club said on Sunday. The 35-year-old was hurt in Porto's first domestic league defeat of the season by Boavista on Saturday. Club doctors did not say how long Baia would be out of action. http://au.news.yahoo.com/041122/15/ru0z.html
Moscow is 8 hours a head of Toronto/New York. So the game should be at 10:30 am est...If I converted it properly.
Porto arrived in Moscow with snow in the streets, -20 degrees, Nuno Vale his not able to be the second keeper Rui Sacramento from the B team got the big prize JOVEM GUARDIÃO CHAMADO PARA MOSCOVO Eis um "bebé" Sacramento na viagem da vida Rui Sacramento ganhou um lugar no "charter" para Moscovo, porque Bruno Vale não está inscrito na Liga dos Campeões. Sacramento está na habitual lista de jovens da formação que os clubes enviam para a UEFA. Aos 19 anos, o guardião estava impedido de falar na partida para este marco da sua ainda curta carreira que começou no Leixões. É do FC Porto desde os iniciados e suplente de Bruno Vale na equipa B. Diego, confirma-se, está pronto para regressar em Moscovo, para onde foram também Nuno, Seitaridis, Jorge Costa, Pedro Emanuel, Ricardo Costa, Pepe, Areias, Costinha, Bosingwa, Maniche, Paulo Machado, Derlei, McCarthy, Postiga, César Peixoto, Quaresma e Hugo Almeida. O árbitro do jogo de amanhã é o espanhol Mejuto González e por cá fica Baía a lutar por uma recuperação mais rápida que possa permitir a sua presença na Taça Intercontinental. Hugo Leal já está apto e Carlos Alberto e Fabiano talvez para Setúbal. Data: Terca-Feira, 23 de Novembro de 2004 01:36:00

Rui Sacramento was the keeper called up to back-up Nuno Esprito Santo from the 'B' team. Bruno Vale was unable to be called up because he was never inscripted to the Champions League records, so because of this he is not able to play against CSKA. Diego is also back after not playing against Boavista on the weekend, but Fernandez will not be able to count on Carlos Alberto, Luís Fabiano or Nuno Valente who are all still injured There may be a surprise in the starting line-up. Maybe the punishmente givem to Benni McCarthy for his actions against Boavista will see him on the bench for the first time in about 5 games. Expect Hugo Almeida to start if that happens. Porto's Call up GK: Rui Sacramento and Nuno. Defenders: Seitaridis, Jorge Costa, Pedro Emanuel, Ricardo Costa, Pepe, Areias. Midfielders: Costinha, Bosingwa, Maniche, Paulo Machado, Diego, César Peixoto. Strikers: Quaresma, Derlei, McCarthy, Postiga and Hugo Almeida

Quaresma with 3 goals this game, (i keft hiim as captain of my uefa team so i expect big things), please let us win this game, if i didn't have an exam i would spend the next 24 hours praying and worrying about this game, i think i speak for all porto fans when i say i have tasted success and enjoyed it and want more, scratch that need more. only another CL trophy will do.
FCP will get a heavy dosage of cold winds and snow in this game. For a team that is used to playing in warmer climates, this one doesn't look so good. They need to win to have any hopes of playing in Europe after Christmas - go get 'em, boys!
