UEFA Europa League 2009/10

[Lancelot34]

Shakhtar winn Juve in 1/8

 

[Sevillista]

I've gotta say, there are a lot of quality teams here. I don't know if it's the new format, but I would watch a lot of these.

Best matchup for the neutral fan: Villareal - Wolfsburg

Also looking forward to Juve - Ajax, and Atletico - Galatasaray.

I wouldn't be surprised if all three English teams crashed out this round, as usual. Liverpool are a threat, of course, but I don't know how motivated they'll be to play the Europa league.

Unirea is gonna rape Liverpool

Athletic with spanish flag hurt my eyes.

When you look at the draw, you can see lot's of big names. I really like it this year. Hopefully big matches will happen in next rounds.

 

[silvone]

Ajax VS Juve , it will be tough!

 

[Coruja]

Sporting and Benfica passes trough the next round.

Sporting today made their best game of the season, they won against Everton by 3-0.

Good to see 2 portuguese teams in the next round.

Now is:

Benfica x Marseille
Sporting x A. Madrid

 

[Sevillista]

Hamburg v Anderlecht
FK Rubin Kazan v Vfl Wolfsburg
Atletico Madrid v Sporting Lisbon
Benfica v Marseille
Panathinaikos v Standard Liege
Lillie v Liverpool
Juventus v Fulham
Valencia v Werder Bremen

 

[daS]

Hamburg
FK Rubin Kazan
Sporting Lisbon
Marseille
Panathinaikos
Liverpool
Juventus
Valencia

i think

 

[Coruja]

I hope that im right, but comparing the 2 portuguese teams, Benfica has more chances to pass than Sporting, besides that, Benfica is making a great season.

 

[kp41]

Juventus vs Liverpool, what a dream final!!!!

Well, 3 German teams are in round of 16 and maybe they could catch up Italy's Uefa League ranking.

 

[kp41]

Romania and Ukraine ahead of Portugal?????

 

[Arnau]

Sure, Schaktar won UEFA and Dinamo reach the semifinal, i dont know about romanian teams.

 

[Coruja]

It will soon change, i hope. I want to see the 3 bigs again in the CL.

Benfica Wins

Hamburg
FK Rubin Kazan
Sporting Lisbon
Marseille
Panathinaikos
Liverpool
Juventus
Valencia

i think

So you think benfica wont go trough huh? Well it seems you dont know us...better! This way it's even easyer to surprise!

Read a lil bit, maybe u'll learn smth...

Except for Bordeaux, no French team, and few european teams are match for benfica at this moment…it’s the most scoring team in all europe and one of the best defences…it occupies the 1st place on portuguese liga, 9 points away from Porto. Benfica is back to it’s old days of glory! Because in case you don’t know it’s the biggest club in Portugal and one of the Biggest in the world. In fact it's the club with most paying supporters in guiness world of records. This year benfica supporters as me, call the team “the terminators”…see why:

[Coruja]

I like the way that we are playing right now, but everything can happen. I agree with you when you say that besides Bordeaux ( Lyon too ) no French team can rival us. To me, we have quality enough to surpass Marseille, but like i said, everything can happen. In the end, i will say if we are the best or not.

 

[MaestroZidane]

Anyone else following this Fulham v Juve game?:? Talk about fighting back to level the field..

 

[MaestroZidane]

woooooooow!! what a goal by Dempsey to clinch the lead

 

[ARIAGA II]

Fulham ftw!

EDIT: That goal by Dempsey...wow !
...and Zamora for England.
