yep

Porto should be 2-1 up we are all over the place now

Valencia all but out now. They need 3 points off of Schalke and Albelda just got a straight red.

Drogba just doesn't miss from inside the 18. The man is amazing.

Alex makes it 3-0 from 35 out on a weird free kick.

i have 20£ at 22-1 on 6-0 chelsea after it went 2-0 minutes.

Also I was putting 10£ on Torres to score first on and as I pressed confirm bet my mate walks in and goes Torres scored. He'd come upstairs and obv Torres had scored before I pressed send. However it says I won the bet.

wtf? Will they take this away?

Actually, if Pool and Besiktas win (assume 1 goal each), it's:

Porto 8 +1
Pool 7 +7
Marseille 7 +1
Besiktas 6 -9

If that happens, Pool is through with a draw against Marseille due to goal differential.

If Liverpool only get a draw against Marseille and are even on points then Marseille go through because they have more points in matches played between those two teams since they won at Anfield.

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

Man, this tie-breaker stuff is a little confusing. But I think we Liverpool supporters would rather have Besiktas get no more than one point today (although they are now up 2-1). If they draw or lose, then our win today means we can sneak in with a draw in France provided that Besiktas beat Porto. Right?

EDIT: Just saw that Besiktas triumphed in Istanbul. Never mind.
