Braga 1 Udinese 1 Malaga 2 Panathinaikos 0 Zagreb 2 Maribor 1 BATE 2 Kiryat Shmona 0 AEL Limassol 2 Anderlecht 1
Damn, Kiryat has some work to do. Not a :jew: but wouldn't mind seeing them get drawn with Man U if they advance.
Not many goals so far today. Zagreb looks like the only team to have solidified their place so far. There's about 20 minutes left in each tie.
Can't wait for the gif to emerge of Armero on Udinese kicking the ground and falling over trying to chip the GK
Kljestan and Michael Parkhurst, Champions League footballers. Anderlecht has been a great move for Sacha. If he impresses in the group stage, could definitely move to a Big 4 league team next season.
Why you only try the Panenka if you are Zidane or Pirlo. Sucks for Udinese and Di Natale, 2 years in a row.
Glad Anderlecht made it since they were bumped due to Chelsea qualifying via winning the CL last year

Dortmund was mostly a train wreck in CL play last year and I could see PSG being this year's Dortmund (in terms of CL group performance).
Dortmund will be ready this year, too good not to, especially with that extra year of CL experience. Want nothing to do with them. PSG could easily be turrible though.
