indeed they do... and if I know Ukrainians well enough - they will only pay to see a game that their team could win and such, the team wont disappoint...

are u ready for tomorrow guys?

I just wanted to bump the thread!

Champions League time!

**thetrinity** · 02-14-11, 12:01 PM

not having to do with the game, but anyone know a good place to watch the game online? i see channel surfing.net has been shut down. foxsoccer is offering a free trial for 7 days, but you only get 1 game and the other on a tape delay. i dont mind paying a little to watch these games.

If you wanna pay go to uefa.com

Myp2p.eu will have links, most get shut down at least once during the game so be prepared with a couple.

I think you can buy one game for like $5-10. This option probably won't be available till tomorrow. I know about the foxsoccer.tv; its annoying, but really the only option to buy games online in the US. If all else fails I will post some links.

thanks guys gl tomorrow. im excited to get the ko stages started.

**thetrinity** · 02-14-11, 01:43 PM

fsc is doing a free trail for the next 7 days for those interested in that. it does only show the lesser of the 2 games for the most part if you look at the champions league schedule, but they are free. i wish espn was doing this so we could just watch on espn3 and get it over with.

ESPN USA cannot show Champions League as Fox owns the rights.

The quality on foxsoccer.tv is very good though. I have been a member since last season and it sucks that they've only recently started showing games on delay.

Best bet is Tottenham to advance to next round! Take it now, be happy!

**The Special One** · 02-14-11, 01:52 PM

agreed

**p3re** · 02-14-11, 02:09 PM

I'd Parlay València+Madrid+Barcelona for this week. Odds are 5.9... Pretty good.

i cant touch that game even with 100k in my account

**jordigs** · 02-14-11, 03:13 PM

What do you think about the under on Valencia - Schalke?

**The Special One** · 02-14-11, 03:16 PM

honestly, I wouldnt touch that option - this game could be 2-0, 2-1 or even 2-2 - i dont suggest wasting money on this game unless you are INDIVIDUALLY confident on an option...

**klf** · 02-14-11, 03:46 PM

i think under

Valencia win 1-0 GL

**The Special One** · 02-15-11, 12:07 AM

FINAL PICKS FOR TUESDAY FEBRUARY 15, 2011:

1) Milan 2-1 Tottenham

- I think that Milan will start out fast but Tottenham will be able to close them down; however, eventually they should score on a counter or a mistake in the Tottenham defense. This will open the game up a bit as Tottenham will look to attack more, but I dont think they will be able to break Milan's defense right away (commentators will be looking for the vital away goal - English). I think that Milan will score another on a counter-attack and the game will read 2-0. Then, around the 65-75', they will score the vital away goal to make the game 2-1 and it should remain tight for the remainder of the game.

2) Valencia 2-2 Schalke 04

- Initially, I looked for Valencia to win this game, but then I recalled Schalke's last CL group stage game, where they won in Benfica 1-2 - a good result as Benfica is strong at home. I think that there will be 2 goals in the first half, but am unsure on who scores first - at the break, the score should read 1-1. Then, Valencia will come out strong in the second to try and score the next goal; they should break the German defense at around 60'. After this, Schalke will look to score another but it will be hard as they will remain rather defensive due to Valencia's deadly counter-attack. However, I think that at around 85-90', Schalke will pull a shocker by equalizing - FT 2-2

... of course, I could be completely wrong about everything that I had written, but I did this solely to lay out my initial thoughts, which will help me to predict better for tomorrow.

TO EVERYONE READING: ENJOY THE GAMES, do not forget that it is not ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!!!

**hitman09** · 02-15-11, 08:19 AM

I will not touch anything on the Valencia game. On the other game, Milan is a great pick and I wait to see who will be on the field and bet live. Good luck to all!

**The Special One** · 02-15-11, 04:59 PM

RESULTS FOR TUESDAY FEB 15:

Milan vs Tottenham

- I was completely off the mark on the Milan game; they should all quit playing this sport and maybe should try sitting at home where they belong...

- btw, Gattuso is a freak, ape who should get assassinated by an English spy (Rooney

)

Valencia vs Schalke

- I was incorrect with the score but at least predicted a DRAW...

CL 10/11 RECORD: 1-1

**The Special One** · 02-16-11, 12:10 AM

early leans for tomorrow...

1) Arsenal DC

2) Shakhtar +1

**LasNoches777** · 02-16-11, 01:13 PM

Very good! Good luck today The Special One!

**The Special One** · 02-16-11, 01:47 PM

FINAL PICKS FOR WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 16, 2011:

1) ARSENAL 1-1 BARCELONA

- I think that this will be a repeat of last year... I am taking ARSENAL +1 for safety because I do not believe that Barcelona will get a win today... could be more goals than I predict but most importantly, at the end of the day, this should be a level game...

2) ROMA 2-0 SHAKHTAR

- Initially, I liked Shakhtar +1 but after thinking about the game a bit more, I was a bit worried of a possible good day for Roma... they just lost recently at home to Napoli 0-2 and the title is out of their reach... this will impose more dedication into the players in order to do well in the CL and I think we will witness a very stubborn Roma team today... I dont even think that the Ukrainians will get a goal in; no team managed to score 2 goals yesterday and I think that today, we will see the first one to do so...

Arjen Robben stopped training after 20 minutes because of a groin problem and wont play on Saturday against Mainz. His involvement against Inter is in jeopardy.

that's funny. where did you read this?
he just got a finger injury and of course played against mainz today and he should be anxious to play against inter.
