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.

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.
