French club... long of the second division but suddenly playing fantastic, moved into first league and strong....plus it is a nice little town to spend time in. Couple of hours south of Paris if I remember correctly.
it should be but Rubin Kazan has had their number so an upset wouldn't surprise me Group B looks the most even to me and my pick for GOD.
No new posts, it never showed up in my bigsoccer. Not too many surprises except for the United Rangers match. Nice to see Valencia whoop some ass, here I thought Madrid and Barca were the only teams were anything.
i thought 4-0 away was pretty surprising for valencia. i like upsets and/or unexpected scorelines. more tomorrow. edit - saw the barça- panathinaikos highlights barça was barça, but cisse sent govou a hell of a pass
Respect for FC Twente, congratulations! Play full on the attack (4-2-4 with attacking wingbacks) against Inter Milan and get a draw! Theo Janssen is fastly becoming one of the better midfielders in the Netherlands, the perfect guy to replace v. Bommel in the future.
Twente played a great match. Janssen is class. Any hope I had regarding Rafa, which was pretty much none, is dwindling.
Ajax looks like a bunch of afraid kids They where incredibly bad, what a huge difference with FC Twente that played fearless and with the believe they can win. If Ajax goes into Europe, they suddenly can't pass a ball.
