    I've seen a lot of drunken Liverpool fans around Prague today. Wish I had gotten a ticket to the game but wasn't looking to pay more than $200 for one. Will get drunk and watch at a bar with some locals.

    terrible terrible performance though, an underwhelming first half where they were dominant but played bad. Second half they were playing worse but showed more passion

    No one has ever advanced in knockout stages by the pretty play rule. Goals are name of the game and two away goals are nice.

    Barring major breakdowns at home; Ajax, Bayer Leverkusen, and Dynamo Kiev are going to go through with impressive away goal hulls.

    2-0 away win for twente ought to easily be enough as well, also keep in mind that they were playing in like -10 degrees fahrenheit, something twente isnt used to

    Yeah of course they would decide to start scoring once I shut it off. It was seriously one of the worst matches I had seen. Nothing through the air at all. Guys were running away from headers.

    Imagine the atmosphere of a Liverpool vs. Rangers final in Dublin? If it worked out that way.

    Leverkusen and Villarreal are good enough to be in the round of 16 for the CL.

    Good point. Levekusen, Villareal, and Man City are probably all better than Copenhagen, Roma, Schalke, Shaktar, and likely also better than Lyon and Marseille.

    Then again all 3 are likely to be in the CL next season.
