First game was in EnglandMilan are a good side, hope they can somehow get a win at Anfield on the last day. They've been playing really well the whole tournament, unfortunate to not have more points against Porto and even could have beaten Liverpool at the San Siro.
He's shit. Him and that lad Ronaldo at Utd will never get anywhere. They don't even do any pressing.This kid Messi dribbles right into two defenders and does not even get a shot off.

I can't stand PSG but still want them to beat City.
bonaspur23 what part of that do you disagree with mate?Not a massive fan of the head to head rule over goal difference. Takes some of the drama away from the final set of games the group
The Europa could be pretty good after Christmas with Barcelona, Dortmund, Lepizig, Milan/Atletico, Benfica, Atlanta, Sevilla and Zenit dropping in!
I like the rule because you don’t get rewarded for beating the snot out of the 4th placed team… the two legs against whichever team you tie with become more important.bonaspur23 what part of that do you disagree with mate?
Do you think maybe I am a fan of that rule because I didn't think I was.
Said it in regard to the dortmund group where dortmund are 3 points behind sporting and outside of this head to head rule, there would need to be a 10 goal swing. Sporting have got Ajax next (who they lost by 4 goals last time) and Dortmund have Besiktas. Would have been interesting going in to the last game with Dortmund knowing they needed to score lots of goals but instead it's already decided and the last group game doesn't change anything for any of the teams in the group.
Nah, fair enough just interestedI like the rule because you don’t get rewarded for beating the snot out of the 4th placed team… the two legs against whichever team you tie with become more important.
I agree in this case it removes some drama in the last week.
Nothing personal.
Barcelona yes, Benfica absolutely not!The Europa could be pretty good after Christmas with Barcelona, Dortmund, Lepizig, Milan/Atletico, Benfica, Atlanta, Sevilla and Zenit dropping in!
Its a league, performance against all teams in the league decides progression, so beating the snot out of 4th place is more relevant imo. If you are going to have it head to head then a straight knock outI like the rule because you don’t get rewarded for beating the snot out of the 4th placed team… the two legs against whichever team you tie with become more important.
