Remember that this is just the first round predicting, there's still a second round predictions round and a big knock-out phase prediction round coming up to turn the standings all upside down.

Real Madrid - starting to find their stride, and can't pick against the talent
Inter - tough call, but I don't think porto is as good as last year Chelsea - running through everyone at this point, great matchup though Olympique Lyon - I got nothing Bayer Leverkusen - different story if Morientes could play, but no Morientes, Cisse, pongolle, kewell = no goals for Liverpool PSV Eindhoven - PSV can afford to focus on CL, love Demarcus, & Monaco can't do it again (edit - I was thinking they had a big lead on Ajax, didn't realize AZ was only 2 pts back) Manchester United - Hate em, but the've looked pretty damn good lately as long as there are no goalkeeping gaffes. Bayern München - Arsenal have looked whipped lately (barring last weekend) and they always collapse in the CL ... eventually. Last edited by moriarty : 02-10-2005 at 12:08 PM. |

The prediction game continues and lists of eight winners posted before February 22nd 2:45 pm EST will be accepted. I'll probably make a bump or two in the next few days as well.

Special bump for rufusjonz and Aadik so they can defend their 3rd places overall a bit better. Others are free to enter as well, though.

Thanks for the bump - this is my new handle (formely Aad...)
Real Madrid in a canter over a Juventus team Barcelona to come through over Chelsea - especially without Robben Milan- though this is as much about wishing as predicting Arsenal - Perhaps generous, but when free-flowing, this is the best team in Europe FC Porto - Internazionale (Inter - no doubt) Werder Bremen - Olympique Lyon (Lyon are too good to lose to a weak Werder Bremen side) Liverpool - Bayer Leverkusen (My heart says Liverpool, and my head is inclined to agree - Liverpool is gold) PSV Eindhoven - AS Monaco (Monaco - Saviola to come through).

Too bad Gol TV doesn't have Champions League.
(Gol TV finally turned up on DirecTV at 6am this morning, I watched a Spanish paid advertisement for a diet pill this morning before coming to work.) |

I wish I had FSW or something that carries these games. When is the second set of matchups?
How does the Champions League and UEFA Cup work, in qualifying and playing out? Any websites that explain this? I didn't realize Israel was included in the Europe. |

With hockey out and the NBA boring as hell (plus not much of a pro hoops fan), I'll watch the game tomarrow. One postive thing of the lockout is that soccer is getting more attention from me, and its pretty cool.
Have they ever considered doing a best-of-three, orwhatever series? What is the logic behind the two game series? Last edited by SunDancer : 02-22-2005 at 08:48 PM. |

They go by aggregate goals; for instance Bayern beat Arsenal in Munich today 3-1. That means if Arsenal win the next match in London 2-1 Bayern go through because the total goals would be Bayern 4-3 Arsenal. If the goals are equal after both matches, they go by away goals, which makes Arsenal's late goal crucial. Now if they(Arsenal) win 2-0 they go through because they would have an away goal and Bayern wouldn't. If the away goals are equal, they go to extra time, followed by penalty kicks. |

The reason for two matches is that it removes the advantage of a home tie normally associated with knockout competitions. Whether that's good or not is open to debate

Yeah, I just noticed Gol TV today - didn't even know D* was getting it, but no complaints. I was watching FSC on 613 accidentally hit channel up and there's a Barcelona replay match on 614. Sweet. Now if we could just get free eSPN deportes & soccer other than MLS in HD. |

Just curious,
What is "offsides" exactly in soccer/football, and are the leagues differnet in terms of style? I notice that AC Milan plays a very controlled, more techinal passing attack and the United play a more fitness, physical-skilled game? Do the big leagues play certain styles? |

I'm sure someone will come up with the technical definition, but you must have 2 or more opponent players between you and the goal/goaline you are attacking when the ball is played forward by one of your players. Otherwise you are offsides. Basically, you can't camp in front of the goal when the defenders move forward. There's a rule in some leagues about it being ok as long as you dont' affect the play, but that's the gist of it. As far as the different leagues. You pretty much nailed it on the head. The English league (ManU) is typically characterized by fast paced but rugged, physical w/ hard tackling. The Spanish leagues and Italian leagues (Milan) are considered more technical - better passing, better ball skills, not as physical. Last edited by moriarty : 02-23-2005 at 03:43 PM. |

Milan certainly schooled Man U in passing and ball skills today. What a blunder by Carroll.
As for the offsides, the easiest way to look at it is to know that any offensive player must be even with, or in front of, at least one defender (besides the goalie) when the ball is played towards him. Last edited by Desnudo : 02-23-2005 at 03:49 PM. |

Glad to see Milan win. They just seem to make the United work for any chances they can get. Fortune missed a huge chance.
When is the second leg? How are these matchups determine, by a draw? |

 No need to bump until after Inter-Porto, which is next week. due to some crazy rulings that two games can't be played at the same time on the same field... Oh, I have the link to this thread in my signature so I don't forget to bump it when there's any need to.
