Precious Roy said...

Liege put up a better showing. PSV looks like the Liverpudlian thieves stole their will.

My darkhorse Atletico Madrid is up. Woot!

The Fan's Attic said...

scouser thieves only steal tangible goods, not paper documents.

I'm pretty sure Kun Aguero's transfer fee is going up 1 million dollars for every goal he scores this season.

BackBergtt said...

if the maradona/inter crap is true then i would imagine thats where he will end up, as maradona controls the ass kun gets.

i think it would be awesome for the game if cluj or the cypriot team got into the knockouts. a boy can dream.

Precious Roy said...

I think I'd be okay with Maradonna controlling the ass I got, as long as it was only the quality and not the volume.

Precious Roy said...

Phils up 2-0. If anyone cares...

Precious Roy said...

Ugh... feel bad for Cameron on that. Guy has been a gold glover. Made a bad jump and still almost snow-coned it,

Jim Hendry said...

Does Soccernet read the future? I just went to their CL tables (http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/tables?league=uefa.champions&cc=5901) and they have all of todays games as finals, as everyone in groups A-D have 2 games played. Am I experiencing lost time or something?

Jacob said...

Anorthisis 3-1 Panathinaikos

The Fan's Attic said...

Greg Lalas (who will from now on be known as US soccer's biggest cheerleader) will not be happy with that Panathinaikos score.

Jacob said...

Roma piling on

Bordeaux 1-3 Roma

EbullientFatalist said...

@ TFA: According to FIFA 07, Kun Aguero will have a player rating of 97/100 by 2010, and be worth upwards of 38 mil pounds.

EA never lies.

Sporting 2-0 Basle

The Fan's Attic said...

LFC shoulda bought him two years ago.

Julio Baptista hauls Roma from the brink.

Chelsea may get a Romanian surprise after all.

Jacob said...
