Efer, I will update (edit) to reflect the changes so we won't have pages of standings and fixtures. Once the teams are set, the discussion will start. Go ahead and comment on you teams' opponent and get it started!
I think the Boca-Paysandu matches are potentially the most attractive. Boca has had a good record of playing against Brasilian opposition. But Paysandu is a new player in the competition. They already won their group so they only played at 50% against Católica(from what I'd seen on FSE). Boca would have to have at least a two-goal cushion to feel comfortable going into the return leg. Otherwise, it's sweating bullets for them. Santos is still the club to beat, though.
El Mas Sabio Wheres the list that shows how many points everyone has !? I believe i have more than Martin "El Bolillo" Cutler, Chaski and Mario el Escamoso.. Bragging rights are in order.
Various Styles, Cuente de nuevo! So where is the list of first round points in the prediction contest? There are some excellent matchups in the second round. I especially look forward to these: River Plate-Corinthians Boca Juniors-Paysandu Olimpia-Gremio (a repeat of last year's eventful semifinal) America Cali-Racing Nacional-Santos Cruz Azul-Deportivo Cali

22 de Abril de 2003 OLIMPIA (PAR) - GREMIO (BRA) Today's only match will start off the 2nd round action. Suerte para los equipos y suerte para los "sabios" de bigsoccer.com.
vi hasta el 2-2 un partidazo con bonitos goles. los 4! pero me perdi el ultimo y no vi el final..... el que gane de visitante pasa a la otra ronda! a que hora son los de esta noche, ayer solo excuche que fox tiene DIM vs cerro porteno en tv, y el otro juego?
Nacional- Santos que partido ase muchos anos que no veo un gran partido como este!!!!!! Que bien, y mi alegra que Nacional pudo emptar, por mis amigos en Uruguay!
santos futbol, nacional fue garra y guevos! hagamos matematicas: 8goles = 1pt para cada equipo 1gol = 3 pts para el DIM
FT Boca Juniors(Arg) 0 - 1 Paysandú(Bra) The thing of note about this result is that the Paysandu played with 9 men for about the last 35 minutes of the match. It was still 0-0 at that point.
perdio boca de local 1-0 con 9 hombres le metieron la mano a la Boca! otra vez se equivoco bianchi con los cambios, tevez llego muy tarde... barros schelotto, se la paso en el suelo - buscando la falta, esta falto de futbol, llevaba 15 dias sin partidos. Iarley es todo un crack, que jijuperra baile le dio a los centrales de boca.
FT UNAM Pumas(Mex) 0 - 1 Cobreloa(Chl) Cobreloa did a good job shutting down the UNAM offense. The fans were very disgusted at the refereeing the entire match. One player and the club manager from Pumas were sent off. Nothing clicked for Pumas, save for a cheeky play and a free kick that almost tied the game.
INCREIBLE.... NINGUN LOCAL HA GANADO EN SEGUNDA FASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! vamos a ver como resulta esta locura
