Half Time, Liverpool will need to play a lot better in the 2nd half to win. The group looks like this at this point at half time:

Porto 9 pts
Marseille 7 pts
Besiktas 6 pts
Liverpool 5 pts

Um wow Liverpool could be last going into day 6 and have to rely on Besiktas not beating Porto and Liverpool will have to beat Marseille, interesting group

[THEOSU]

liverpool need a crouchigol infusion.

[sharkstevie]

I don't see where a goal is gonna come from.

Besiktas 1-1 Marseille, we could be out if Marseillie score [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!111 TORRES AGAIN

I'm definitely a soccer noob, so my knowledge is limited. But ever since I heard him call the 2002 World Cup, Tommy Smyth has done the best announcing I've heard from anyone in any sport.

Disregard that 4-1 to Liverpool & Besiktas won 2-1

Porto 8 pts
Marseille 7 pts
Liverpool 7 pts
Besiktas 6 pts

Liverpool still need to win on the last day, away games aren't easy at all in Europe so anything can happen yet, don't often see a group with all teams being able to qualify on last day

Celtic won 2-1 in Last minute too weeeeeeeeeee

[Bump_Bailey]

Liverpool would advance with a tie if Porto ties. correct?

Do you mean the play-by-play or the color guy? I think Derrick Rae (sp?) is great as a play-by-play guy, I'm so-so on Smyth. I used to like him more, but his schtick gets old.

[PokerFink]

Jared,

Do you know why do they do it that way instead of just overall GD?

[fanmail]

I'm pretty sure I mean Smyth. The Rae guy is solid too. I don't watch every international match or whatever, so I'm always excited to hear him. I can see how you could get sick of his 'schtick' or whatever, just like any announcer.
