Here's the first-round draw for Italy's four powerhouse UEFA Cup teams: Braga vs Chievo Rubin Kazan (Russia) vs Parma West Ham vs Palermo Livorno vs Pasching (Austria) Unfortunately, Italy's two best hopes (Chievo and Palermo) got the hardest opponents. It wouldn't surprise me all THAT much if none of the four make it to the group stage, but of course I hope I'm proven wrong. The West Ham-Palermo matches would be nice to watch - hope they're televised.
We're gonna hammer teh Hammerz!!! And yes, I'd love to see these on TV WITH ENGLISH COMMENTARY... -swoon-
