I was going to share my thoughts on the 32 teams, but instead here's Keeley in glorious red-and-white:

And what's that other thing above the picture of her? No, I don't really care. I was just asking to be polite.
Trying to comprehend the title of this thread and why a picture of Keeley Hazel is in this subforum,

Futbol equipo (football team).
This is major league soccer in Europe, but what the hell are two of those
Dirty cheating Italian teams doing still in that league?

I'm an American, and I attended a university that has one of the best teams in the country in American football (no relation to what the rest of the world calls football). So that's the one and only sport I care about - and only college, not pro.

I was being sarcastic... mostly. I knew this had something to do with football/soccer, but I don't really know (or care) what.

I can tell you how they did LAST season WITH Zizou. They got eliminated in the first post-group round. (You can see an animated gif of the wondergoal that knocked los "galaticos" out of Europe last year in the thread entitled "sheer, untouchable brilliance".) If you want a soap-opera of fading stars, ego-trippers, fat strikers and hateful right-wing fans by all means follow Real Madrid. General Franco would be proud of you. On the other hand, if you want to be ENTERTAINED by quality attacking football, follow either of last year's finalists.I think I will make an atempt to follow Real Madrid this season and see how they do without Zindane.
By the way, the Italian teams found guilty of corruption are (obviously) not in the tournament this year. Juventus, the main culprits were relegated to Serie B in Italy, so they need at least one year to win promotion before they can even try to qualify for the following year's tournament. So it'll be at least 2 years before we see them in the Champions League again.

That's because nobody included pictures of cheerleaders in that one. I'm sure there would have been more comments from both sides of the Atlantic if there were hot babes involved.

But seriously, I was just being sarcastic and joking around. Sorry if I upset anyone. I wasn't trying to start a debate about whose sport is better. I don't care enough to argue about that.

Not quite. I asked Keeley to pose for the pics with my shirt last time she stayed over.* Annoying, the shirt is all stretched out of shape now...So, I guess you got these pics off of C. Ronaldo's web site and then photomainiped in the Jersey, right?
* Alternative answer: Keeley did a massive photoshoot for Zoo magazine in which she wears (or almost wears or hardly wears at all) the home strips of all 20 teams in the Premier League. If you have an Adult Sights password, you can find all the pics on this brilliant T&A site: www.homunculus.com . Having said that, the other 19 shirts look crap IMO.
By the way, here's my predictions for the final standings in each of the 8 groups in the Champions League.
Let's see how wrong I can get this...
Group A - 1) Barcelona 2) Chelsea 3) Bremen 4) Levski
Group B - 1) Inter 2) Spartak 3) Bayern 4) Sporting
Group C - 1) Liverpool 2) PSV 3) Galatasaray 4) Bordeaux
Group D - 1) Roma 2) Valencia 3) Shakhtar 4) Olympiacos
Group E - 1) Lyon 2) Real 3) Dynamo 4) Steaua
Group F - 1) Man U 2) Benfica 3) Celtic 4) Copenhagen
Group G - 1) Arsenal 2) Hamburg 3) CSKA 4) Porto
Group H - 1) Milan 2) Lille 3) AEK 4) Anderlecht
Remember: Each team in each group plays the 3 other teams home and away so there are 6 games in each "mini-league" with 3 points awarded for a win and 1 point for a draw. If two teams finish level on points then the AGGREGATE score of the two games between them is the deciding factor. If the Aggregate score was level, the team who scored most goals in the AWAY game gets the advantage. If both games between the two teams had the identical score, the two teams' OVERALL goal-difference is taken into consideration.
The first 2 in each group qualify for the knock-out phase of the tournament. The third placed teams go into the 3rd round of the (less prestigious) UEFA cup and the bottom team in each group is eliminated from European competition.
The first round of matches is on Tuesday and Wednesday (12/13th Sept), the second a fortnight later.

Group A
Chelsea 2 Bremen 0
Barcelona 5 Levski 0
Group B
Sporting 1 Internazionale 0
Bayern 4 Spartak Moskva 0
Group C
Galatasaray 0 Bordeaux 0
PSV 0 Liverpool 0
Group D
Olympiacos 2 Valencia 4
Roma 4 Shakhtar 0
Group E
Dynamo Kyiv 1 Steaua 4
Lyon 2 Real Madrid 0
Group F
Man. United 3 Celtic 2
København 0 Benfica 0
Group G
Porto 0 CSKA Moskva 0
Hamburg 1 Arsenal 2
Group H
Anderlecht 1 Lille 1
Milan 3 AEK 0
So, what have we learnt?
Group A: No surprises at all.
Group B: Inter were expected to win in Lisbon. Patrick Vieira's 2,000th red card of his career (OK, slight exaggeration) couldn't have helped their cause and they SHOULD bounce back at home in their next match. As impressed as I was with Bayern, Spartak were a big disappointment and I expect them to be a different team next time out. This group could get very interesting...
Group C: "The Group of Sleep". Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Group D: Impressive wins for the big boys, but neither result is a major surprise. Like Group A, this one could be all over after 3 rounds of matches.
Group E: The rise of the "dark horses"... OK, so Lyon beat Real in the group stages last year too. Real have an awful lot of work to do. Lyon look better than 12 months ago. Could this be the year they really make an impression? Steaua are a famous old club now on the rise again thanks to yet another wealthy owner and winning in Kiev was impressive. If they can take points of Real, Group E could become fascinating...
Group F: Celtic gave Man U much more of a game than most people expected, but in the end a win is a win (3 points) and a loss is a loss (0 points). Celtic will still fancy their chances against the 2 other teams and a lot will depend on how they and Benfica fare in their home games.
Group G: No shock in Hamburg, even if Arsenal's win was far from comfortable in the end. Rosicky showed his wonder long-range strike against the US in the World Cup was no fluke with another stunning rocket from 30 yards. Porto's failure to score at home against a team who are supposed to be poor travellers could be very costly. The next set of matches sees Porto going to London already under pressure.
Group H: Lille needed a late equaliser, but they got it. That's bad news for Andelecht already. Milan won comfortably as expected. A better test will be to see who takes points of AEK in Athens.
Of course, after only one game, everything is open in every group. The next round of matches is in 2 weeks' time. After that, we should have a better idea of who's wheat and who's chaff.

Didn't see the game I really wanted to see, which was the Arsenal game. I'll have to make a more concerted effort to find it in two weeks time. It's kind of tough here in the states to, first of all find it, and then try to schedule my workload to be able to watch it, as they are on in the middle of the day. But I'll try...

They are indeed often referred to as "Mancs", a slightly pejorative shortening of the formal adjective "Mancunian" meaning "of, or appertaining to, the city of Manchester."Sad to say that I couldn't watch the second half due to having to work, but I see that the Mancs (<-Isn't that what you call them?) pulled it out in the end.
A Celtic mistake as early as the second minute of the second half settled it, jd. It went a bit quieter after that.
TBH, you definitely got the best 45 minutes of entertainment from the 2 games by seeing the first half of Utd/Celtic. Hamburg-Arsenal was a long way from being a classic, with Rosicky's contribution the only really quality moment.Didn't see the game I really wanted to see, which was the Arsenal game.

It's kind of tough here in the states to, first of all find it, and then try to schedule my workload to be able to watch it, as they are on in the middle of the day. But I'll try...
As for where/how to view games in the US of A, buggered if I know. But these folks might: www.arsenalamerica.com/new/index.php

She's got the boobs... I got the (Photoshop) bullets.
The violence... smoke and flame. Hope the shooter wasn't standing too close:

Honestly, I'm not kidding, they didn't leave a mark... well, except for my poor jersey.

Sent from Darkseid, the Keeley's are his secret weapon. Take down the Man in a way nobody has ever done before. Not kill him, but don't let him out of bed either.
And then, once they had him under control, who could stop them?
His cousin? That'd be a fight.
Great picture.

GROUP A
Levski Sofia 1-3 Chelsea
Werder Bremen 1-1 Barcelona
Table:[code:1]
Chelsea 6pts
Barcelona 4pts
W. Bremen 1pt
L. Sofia 0pts
[/code:1]
No surprise in Bulgaria, but Barca suprised everyone by needing a late goal to prevent their first Champions League defeat in nearly two years. Are the mighty Catalans slipping? Or was this their one bad game of the year, which they survived by salvaging a draw? Still, Group A looks like being the relative Cakewalk for Chelsea and Barcelona that everyone predicted. The next set of games sees the 2 big boys play each other...
GROUP B
Inter Milan 0-2 Bayern Munich
Spartak Moscow 1-1 Sporting
Table:[code:1]
Bayern 6pts
Sporting 4pts
Spartak 1pt
Inter 0pts[/code:1]
Inter bought big over the summer with some very well known names coming into their squad. Are the new stars not gelling? 3 red cards in their opening two games haven't helped, but unless they get their acts together soon, it will be too late for them. Sporting look the strongest Portuguese representatives in the tournament and will be hoping to capitalise on Inter's woes...
GROUP C
Liverpool 3-2 Galatasaray
Bordeaux 0-1 PSV
Table:[code:1]
Liverpool 4pts
PSV 4pts
Galatasaray 1pt
Bordeaux 1pt[/code:1]
Liverpool weren't convincing in the end, but a win's a win. Bordeaux should be winning their home games against the likes of PSV if they're going to progress. They lost and they haven't scored in either of their opening 2 games.... PSV must be confident of getting through to the next round now.
GROUP D
Shakhtar Donetsk 2-2 Olympiacos
Valencia 2-1 Roma
Table:[code:1]
Valencia 6pts
Roma 3pts
Olympiacos 1pt
S. Donetsk 1pt[/code:1]
Valencia have been quietly impressive in both their matches. They came from behind to beat Roma and will take even more confidence from that. Roma should recover, though.
GROUP E
Real Madrid 5-1 Dynamo Kiev
Steaua Bucuresti 0-3 Lyon
Table:[code:1]
Lyon 6pts
R. Madrid 3pts
Steaua 3pts
D Kiev 0pts
[/code:1]
Dinamo Kiev used to be one of the powerhouses of world football. Their current squad just looks completely out of its depth. Seven goals conceded in their opening two games = very, very bad indeed. Lyon's away win was impressive and many people see them as at least semi-finalists this year. Real badly need to beat Steaua in the next round. If they lose, then it's panic time (yet again) in the Spanish capital.
GROUP F
Celtic 1-0 FC Copenhagen
Benfica 0-1 Man Utd
Table:[code:1]
Man Utd 6pts
Celtic 3pts
Benfica 1pt
FC Copenhagen 1pt[/code:1]
Man U got revenge for last year's defeat at the hands of Benfica and took a big step towards the next round in the process. The games between Celtic and Benfica will almost certainly decide who else goes through with United. Copenhagen are on a learning curve, but no-one can learn THAT fast...
GROUP G
Arsenal 2-0 FC Porto
CSKA Moscow 1-0 Hamburg
Table:[code:1]
Arsenal 6pts
CSKA Moscow 4pts
FC Porto 1pt
Hamburg 0pts[/code:1]
Porto were really poor in London and need to improve dramatically (especially in attack) if they are to progress. Hamburg look to be struggling. They must get something at home to Porto in their next game to survive. Arsenal play Spartak in Moscow next. A win for the Londoners there would just about seal their qualification with 3 games to spare.
GROUP H
AEK Athens 1-1 Anderlecht
Lille 0-0 AC Milan
Table:[code:1]
AC Milan 4pts
Lille 2pts
Anderlecht 2pts
AEK Athens 1pt[/code:1]
Two draws are indicative of the fact that this is proving to be one of the tightest groups. AEK should be beating the likes of Anderlecht at home, though, and they must be worried.
3rd round of group games is in 2 weeks time. More nearer the time.
And now, to end this bulletin, a look at the main Keeleys again: www.ryoni.com/babes/keeley_hazell.html
