can't wait for that game. Napoli gets a boost since Villareal will be without Rossi

I expect a win from Napoli. Villarreal looked rather weak at home against Munich while Napoli played strong in Manchester.
Right now, Villarreal is my clear cut favourite for that 4th spot after group stage in that group. At a max I can see them managing a tie tomorrow. No way they win in Napoli, IMO.

Starting in 1.66 hours:
ZSKA Moskau vs I. Mailand

Starting in 4.5 hours:
FC Bayern vs Man. City
SSC Napoli vs Villarreal
ManUtd vs FC Basel
Trabzonsp. vs OSC Lille
Otelul Galati vs Benfica
O. Lyon vs Din.Zagreb
R. Madrid vs Amsterdam

Best matchup is probably easily Munich vs. City. ZSKA vs. Inter and Napoli vs. Villarreal should be good as well. Real vs. Amsterdam is a good matchup given the history of both clubs but Ajax is probably not competitive enough right now to make noice in Bernabeu so that will probably be one sided in favour of Real.

pretty excited to see what Inter will do in Russia. Ranieri is gonna start Ricky Alvarez in Sniejder's spot behind Milito and Pazzini.

Gonna have on Napoli-Villareal/Bayern-City at the same time later. The San Paolo is going to be crazy tonight...first home CL game since 1990

CKSA with nice free kick goal right before halftime. 2-1 Inter.

Pretty good first half, neither team playing particularly well. Inter had the better half but don't look strong enough in the midfield...game is still pretty open

edit: game over 3-2 Zarate saves Inter. scored a minute after Vagner Love tied it.

City go in with an attacking line up in Munich and Robben's on the bench. I cannot see City winning this but both teams are in great form.

Rossi recovers and gets the start for Villareal.

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL HAMSIK

United started very poor, Basel looked up to it. But their defense just fell apart and Welbeck takes advantage with 2 quick goals.

If City come out of this without a point it might be tough sailing for them. So far looks very even.

Gomez with the double and Welbeck scored 2 in minutes against Basel. Seems to be high scoring games all over.

wow ya everyone up 2-0 besides Lille and Benfica only up by 1

Wow. Great game so far in Munich.

ManCity could've been awarded a penalty early. Then again Munich could've gotten one as well later.

City played great like the first 20 minutes. They troubled Munich really with their quick pressure when Munich was in possession at first. They didn't keep it up for the entire half, though. Munich rightfully converted on 2 chances then.

Basel gets a deserved goal, United need to wake up again.

Post #235 » by **bryant08** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 8:01 pm

And just like that, Basel tie it. Embarassing defensive performance, hopefully they wake up now.

ManCity is weaker than Leverkusen so far in the 2nd half. Lol.

Nani coming on for Fabio who seems injured. If there's anyone who can get us out of this situation now, it's him.

Post #238 » by **bryant08** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 8:15 pm

If anyone wants to tune in now, United are just about to lose to Basel at OT.

A lesson well served to not screw around with the line up in champions league again.
