1:45pm can't come fast enough...


PSG vs Chelsea (FS1)
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Bayern (FS2 SD )

That PSG/Chelsea match is a blockbuster...and at least it'll be a sunny 29 degrees in Lviv for our guys...

Overall...RM, Barça, Chelsea & Bayern look like top squads heading in...even though Atletico is still dangerous

Dandy may recall me calling RM as the best team last spring...I think Randy & co will be happy to see Chelsea raising the cup in the end this year. Best manager, (*correction*) lots of depth (maybe not most), great striker(s), most talented keeper (yes, even w/ Neuer...dat Courtois wingspan tho...)

(Cue the symphony and the Heineken douchebag either parachuting in or on the ship)

most depth


Chelsea is not even close to the deepest team left in the Champions League. First game Matic went out, the unbeaten run ended. Mourinho hates rotating the squad. When he rotated it against Bradford, Bradford ran the show AT Stamford Bridge. If Costa, Hazard, Terry or Fabregas can't play, you can tell. If Matic goes down, it's curtains for Chelsea.

That being said, I hope you're right about Chelsea raising the cup.

Granted depth is relative to injuries etc, but damn that is a talented squad...hope I'm wrong

ETA: Morinho will know just what to do with that squad regardless of fitness.

I believe four walked off injured with muscle problems against Caen. Ridiculous. They must have the same trainer as the USMNT.

I'll be there for the first half...then gotta roll to the Jesuit/BM playoff game...my cousin has been playing great midfield for the Saders

Hope Die Roten can get on the board quickly and put it to bed early

Don't need to wake that sleeping giant...and actually all 3 Spanish teams scare me.

Winning sides this round will all be crossing their fingers for the Basel/Porto winner. Though if we take care of business like we should, it'll of course be Arsenal again for us...don't even need to spin the tiny soccer balls in the clear bowls

Going to a bar tonight here in east Germany for the matches should be good.

Just bought a 5 liter of some amazing local brew from Erfurt to take home

I can't even stream because we are on Dow's network and they only allow us so much usage and if we go over they really start cracking down on internet plus we are fined.

Not conducive at all.
