Nothing spells Champions League quite like a fat-faced Ronaldo. Mmmmmm.
For all the degenerate gamblers out there who subscribe to ESPN deportes for the sole purpose of watching these matches live, this post is for you.
Tuesday's predictions
ManU redeems itself after last year and puts up a 2-nil win over a Benfica playing without their resident badass Rui Costa
Real Madrid easily over Dynamo Kiev--fatface puts up a goal in his return, Ruud too
Lyon with a late winner over Steaua
Celtic beats Copenhagen (yawn)
Arsenal rides the momentum to a win at home over FC Porto
CSKA and Hamburg tie in a who cares, fans most likely to be hit with tear gas or shanked in the achilles kind of match
AEK Athens over Anderlecht in a battle of two teams with no chance of getting out of the group stage
And lastly, despite their blathering, Lille will get upended by AC Milan. Someone needs to remind these Frenchies that they play in a sub-par Ligue 1 and guess what? Milan could beat you with their second team no questions asked.
I like the Real Madrid and AC Milan matches to go over the 2.5 goal mark, while Steau and Lyon are my lock to finish under.
By the way, am I alone in having a severe distaste/bafflement at the UEFA Champions League anthem that they play before each match? Good god is that awful. You'd think with all their money and sponsors that UEFA would ditch the Enya-themed anthem and just play some footy. I'll be watching tomorrow with my nachos, as always.
