Ill never understand why the Tommy Bwythe team didnt do all the best games. Sometimes ESPN decision making baffles me.

I need a favor...

could someone from across the pond give me a link with the breakdown for the distribution of teams from each country's league into the Champions League and UEFA Cup, and where the teams come into play?

I used to have a link for the Champions League, but it no longer works and its likely outdated.

If you'd like to bring something up there are at least 2 other people here to comment with.

I was wondering when this would come along. Oh well, that's their problem (and for fans of the NCAA thread that is slowly filling with spam, a welcome development to make their thread #1 )

And back on topic (you know....on topic? ), are there no matches today? Seems pretty slow.

It's going to have to go to penalties because imo were going to have to score at least 5 goals but more than likely 6 or 7 goals in the next 3 games if were going to win it, way they have been playing can't see them scoring that many.

A big game against Portugal might give them the confidence they need to step up their offensive performance. Go England!!

Id be surprised if you guys scored more than twice in a match in all honesty...if you do score more than twice, I may start pulling for a repeat of 66.

You think Argentina's better than Brazil?

Right here and now, yes

Brazil has failed to impress so far
And the French stock rose considerably after their game against Spain.

Argentina and Germany have been the two best looking sides so far.
Their pace is relentless and their attack looks the sharpest of any of the teams so far.
Ball movement has been on the money and they have finished when it counted.
