all should check out the liverpool vs. RM match and watch the israeli dude. aside from his goal, he really took over the creative/playmaking in the absence of ball brawling gerrard. he was impressive the entire match. very fun to watch

Totally agree, Auckland. That game was a cracker, and quite the flick into the net. Wonder if Team Jerusalem was reading about him on the front page this morning.

agreed. i was particularly impressed with liverpool's defending... especially from holding midfielder Mascherano. madrid's attack could never get it rolling b/c every time they got near the box, the reds would quickly close in and scoop up the ball. some really nice clean tackles from behind. i'm starting to absorb why the premiership clubs have done so well the past few years. madrid just doesn't see agressive clinical defending like that in La Liga.

That's the match I really wanted to watch, but they were showing the Chelsea/Juventus game downstairs. Maybe I'll get to watch the second leg. I'll definitely look for that guy.

Dude! Torres TOTALLY hauled that dude down to net that first goal today! Should have been disallowed, overacting aside. And the hand ball that led to Gerrard's PK?!?! If I didn't know any better, I'd say there was a conspiracy to keep me from winning this pool. Still... 4-0 is hard to argue with...
