I know its Slavia Prague, but [censored] like this isn't normal. (ManU fans, keep quiet about that Roma game, its rare in CL).

I just saw the highlights though, damn, that is some nasty passing man, holy cow.

edit: I guess its more likely to happen in the group stage and less likely to happen in the knockout rounds.

There have been some lopsided qualifying matches but I haven't seen 7-0 in the group stage.

Group H could be effectively done after the next matchday as it's the same matchups as this one. If Arsenal and Sevilla win again Sevilla will be 6 clear of Slavia. Unfortunately for my guys, the 5th match day is Sevilla - Arsenal. It would have been better to play them last so that they would already be in the next round.

Either way Sevilla should be through. The 2-1 scoreline today was deceiving since Sevilla thoroughly dominated. I was listening to match on SevillaFC radio so there is some bias there obviously but Sevilla had two shots off the post and there were two potential handballs that would have been penalties that weren't called. Steaua did have some chances to draw even though.

If they win the next game they will be anyway?

True, but they will want to at least get a point against Sevilla to finish top and be seeded. I don't think it will matter much anyway as it's almost certain to be Arsenal - Sevilla in that order.

Arsenal is already through, don't care what anyone says. 9 out of 9, with a GD of +11.

They get any result against Slavia and its over.

the difference being that Roma is a top serieA club and slavia prague is a club from a much weaker league with little to no european pedigree, but hey, it was a big win for you guys, so I'm not gonna take too much away from you right now [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Today's matches should be more interesting than yesterday's.

Liverpool need a win at Besiktas since they are 3 points behind second-place Porto.

Chelsea - Schalke should be a great game as is Rosenborg - Valencia. That group is tight and Chelsea and Valencia can separate themselves.

Real Madrid don't need a win over Olympiacos but it would be big since their next match is at Olympiacos, which is their toughest match since they're very good at home.

Group D is pretty wide open still. If Milan don't win today and Celtic do then it'll be an interesting last 3 matches, especially the last one with Celtic going to Milan.

a) LETS GO BESIKTAS!
b) LETS GO OLYMPIACOS!

If Liverpool don't get a result in Turkey or at Anfield this weekend, is Rafa gone?
