The UEFA Champions League starts on Tuesday, and my question is: What team will win it?

My favorite team to win it this year is Dynamo Kiev.

well I'm still a supporter of Manchester, but that's just my opinion

Aaarrrggghhh!!!! Dynamo Kiev!!! Barry Town got drawn against them 2 years running in the Qualifying round when Shevenko was playing for them! They beat us one game 8-0! SHITE!!!

ah, Club Brugge gets butchered anywayz... what about Genk? Who do they play against?

Barcelona, SA roma (I think) and some other good team they'll get kicked out

no! I ment, Brugge plays IN Barcelona, vs Barcelona
what about Genk?

mine is Juventus and Rosenborg, rosenborg..the norvegain team is going to reach the quarterfinals this year, they are on top right now!

thanks, tyrui you know who Genk plays against first?

Genk vs. AEK Athen

thx

Real Madrid or Arsenal.

Juventus will take home the trophy this year!!

I fancy Arsenal to win it this season, they are playing really well even without Pires and Freddie.

Rosenborg will win

yeah right

for behold! they will shock the entire world of football and demolish their opponents!

when?

When the deset sands freeze and the Camels come skating home.

*starts binding skates to camels*

not even then will they win

but Corran said so!

he aint right in hte head so you shouldnt listen to him

well, he IS british

hehe

They will shock! they will not win, but they will get far because they have the advantage that they play in minus 0-25 deegrees! So the poor pussycats from south europa will have a problem here! so go RBK!

I went to the RBK-Inter game.....man!!! Rosenborg outperformed Inter.....Rosenborg played the best football I have seen for a long time....If they keep playing like that, they sure will reach the quarter finale!

lol
good
hope brugge does well vs moscow tomorrow

I doubt it though

bwa, we'll know tomorrow

and I will miss it!

ha-ha.

not funny

I'm afraid it is funny.

guess it is funny

well, it's over now, we were the better team I think, we had a few good chances, just missed a tad of luck, certainly on that last one.
and the ref sucked majorly

always the refs fault when a team aint good enough to score

always such a comment to hide the fact the ref did suck

even the russians thought the ref sucked

the russians love their children too.

cue Finti....

corran or finti either of u saw the game??????????

We only get high-lights here and not the full match, any dubious decisions were probably not shown.

lol I think he called around 15 light errors in the first half, which is a bit much in a CL game
and in the second half he gave 8 or 9 yellow cards I mean yea this looks to be a good ref

Sounds like a ref who cannot keep control of a game properly.

idd

tho it ain't just because of the ref that we didn't win, tho maybe with another ref he wouldn't have canceled our legal goal

Isn't that down to the referees assistants?

could be, but still I wouldn't have called it an error, there is always a tad of shuving and pushing going on in front of the goal and it's not likes this lil' push would have prevented the goal from happening

They do seem to be clamping down on that more this season, pushing and pulling shirts I mean

heck, the ball was up, and Verheyen jumps up and sidewards and nods it to Rune.
It's not his fault the other one couldn't jump, he should have jumped earlier

Rune? Rune Hakko? Was he playing?

rune lange, I think

The best one in the belgian league

"In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russian love their children too" - Sting`s Russians

definitly not.
Rune is the one you have to give the ball; close to the goal so he doesn't need to run a lot

http://www.4u.no/fotballfun.jpg

That's gotta hurt

always recycle... till the extreme!

look at the guys face!

lol yerss is right about lange tho, he's too slow

he scores a lot of goals for his team though

yea tho that still doesn't make him a good player
that new norwegian guy is supposed to be a lot better

if you score heaps of goals you ARE good. doesn't matter diddly-squat how he runs or whatever if he scores regularly. the new norwegian shouldn't be much better.

I agree on that one too

Galatasaray-Club Brugge: 0-0
some good chances were missed...from both sides... although I wasn't greatly impressed by the Turks

idd, tho good old danny did it again

one of the best keepers around, Genk still 0-0 at home against AS Roma

Valencia look awesome, 6-2. Oh yes and the Red-shite did OK too.

Ajax was a boring experiense

yayyyy AS Roma-Racing Genk: 0-0, very disappointing game of the Italians though

Ajax-Rosenborg 1-1 good by rosenborg, but not enough; theyre out of chances to go to the 2nd round of CL

darn! have to see the table for Genk, 'cause now I'm doubting...

ehh Mah actually RBK has chances of advansment. RBK has 3 points,
Ajax and Inter have 5, so...

yeah, they do have a small chance, I was mistaken. blame vg.no, they wrote it on the live score!

vg live sucks, they are so slow to update

aperently

they are

I agree

you should only know

I agree

so I see

on a different note...
the world ranking announced a few days ago is REDICULOUS!

FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking
1. (1) Brasil- 855 punten
2. (2) France - 790 punten
3. (3) Spain - 779 punten
4. (4) Germany - 763 punten
5. (5) Argentina - 753 punten
6. (9) England - 731 punten
7. (6) Mexico - 731 punten
8. (7) Turkey - 727 punten
9. (12) The Netherlands - 726 punten
10. (8) United States - 719 punten
...
17. (19) Belgium - 688 punten

America on place 10... I smell Coca Cola in that one
and Belgium on place 17 is just even more laughable! Winning 0-1 against Andorra (place 138) and Estonia (place 63) is definitly NOT worth such a high ranking!!!

surely not the WHOLE of America is on 10th place yerss?

look a tiny bit up and you see I was talking about the US!

yes, but I also saw what you wrote

mierenneuker

well Us did do pretty good in the WC, the ranking is based on the games outside the championship and US had one hell of a winning streak in the qualifier to the WC

yes, but what's their history in football? Imo, pretty non-existing, that's the whole point

SO, it is the latest results that give them the grade points, and thay collected enough to be #10. Why Mexico is ranked higher than US puzzels me though casue US was better than them in the qualifier.

yes, mexico stands high, but I don't know there recent run
but #10 is high for them! and against who have they played?

They played Mexico and Costa Rica and so on together with a tournament where they played and beat Brasil and Colombia and Mexico ( thre wins against them within 10 months)

the only impressive game is Brasil imo
Costa Rica isn't known for their great football, and even BELGIUM has proved they can beat Mexico!

doesnt matter, their qualifier games counts as much as every other continents

stupid, imo the winning and the difficulty of the adversary counts!
I mean a winning against Andorra shouldn't give the same amount of points as a win against England!

it doesnt either

then how come they are high-ranked?

cause wins against Mexico , Costa Rica the likes of Brasil and Colombia does. When US plays a friendly game they always pic a tough opponent that gives them credit too.
And to look at it they finished among the 10 best in the WC too so..

but as you said, you don't know why mexico is so high ranked

No that pussels me, must have been they got extra credit with their run in the WC

yerss, wins against colombia and mexico DOES proove quality, both of them are good teams

perhaps they used too, but I don't see them as good teams, because last time we won of them!

so? these days every OK-quality team can beat every team. belgium isn't that bad, so they beat mexico. mexico is still a good team

now yes. in the period around the world cup they were good. just a bad period now

close please

why? champions league is still going on
Brugge is currently losing from Barcelona with 0-1

like NELSON* HAHA*
