PrintRubin v Barcelona kicks off at 9:30 am PT, 5:30pm BST, and sometime in the middle for most others. What else do we have today? All these are 11:45am, 7:45pm:
Tottenham v Twente (Cartilage Free Captain)
Inter v Bremen (I think I put Inter on the list yesterday, meaning I probably just can't read)
Tel-Aviv v Lyon
Schalke v Benfica
Valencia v United (Busby Babe)
Rangers v Bursapor
Panathinaikos v Copenhagen
As far as I can tell, no lower-league matches going on today...really wish they would split them up so that I could have more to pay attention to.

I momentarily forgot about that bit of difference in British/American slang
and before I realized what he meant my opinion of both men changed briefly.

Barcelona should be ahead 1-0
Great chip from Pedro but its denied by the bar!

So how surprising was
Fabianski’s performance last night?

What a lucky break for Kazan
Not only getting a PK, but hitting it off the keepers foot and seeing it STILL go in
1-0 Rubin kazan!
Great penalty from Christian Noboa! Clear penalty on Dani Alves too! Should be a yellow.

I looked away, assumed he was booked
How about that….the team leading the game only has 25% possession…
Last season and this season
this type of game seems to occur to Barcelona more often. Loads of possession but like Arsenal not doing much with it and getting done either by a counter or ye old long direct pass.

You know
I said something similar after United played Rangers a couple weeks ago. Sometimes you can have too much possession and the flow of the game bogs down because there’s no end-to-end movement. The commentator (not sure, but I think it was Andy Grey) suggested United back off when Rangers won possession and allow them to bring the fall further up to open it up.
I absolutely agree with that
Sometimes you have to invite the opposition on to you to open the gaps you need in the attacking half.

1-1 David Villa pen!
Pretty clumsy challenge on Iniesta in the box. He might have gone down a bit easy, but ref had to give it

I don't know whether to watch Spurs or United.
I’m leaning towards United as I feel they’re more likely to lose.
That is the only other match I care about.

Valencia has started real well
I didn’t realize United’s only beaten a spanish team on its soil once

And a horrendous miss
Van der sar flapped and Soldado had an open net to head into and instead headed it over the bar! One of the misses of the Champions League season to be sure!

Copenhagen 1-0 up

Damn it, they need to do more running around

well the fact that its a pouring rain
should tire them out

mistake it was Pavlyuchenko who took it

Twente pull 1 back
Surely Spurs can’t blow another 2-0 lead in the Champions League again?

van der Vaart off with a second yellow!

I would rather have him be out some way for Saturday

Yes, but
10 men running around for 30 minutes in the rain that will be tiring

Lucio's hamstring just went

Valencia have to score sooner or later
Ever since Berbatov’s one really good chance in the second half, United have offered very little.

1-0 United Chicarito
Excellent move, great finish Chicarito. Freaking United did hardly a thing for 70 minutes and now they look like they are going to win :@

Yeah, I remember noticing that Eneyema took them in CL qualifying
It might be interesting if he ever misses.
