adults love surprises and kids love fairy tales.when we combine both together,we have something very exciting for the whole family...and one of them is soccer

Thun 3 Malmo 0(Thun 4-0)-small town team in the big time.you can squeeze 75% of the town in the stadium at Berne,but you just can't remove any spirit out of them.unfortunately though that doesn't apply to the Swedes
Partizan 0 Artmedia 0(aet 0-0.Artmedia 4-3 on penalties)-another fairy tale.after blasting Celtic down,the Gravediggers got a taste of their own Geordie medicine they concocted 2 years ago,and it is a knockout punch

Debrecen 0 Man U 3(Man U 6-0)-Neville hobbled out after 13 mins,but it was Heinze's show that night as he netted 2
Liverpool 0 CSKA Sofia 1(Liverpool 3-2)-they don't have Gerrard.but they don't care if they lost or not.so as long they don't fire 3 past that's it.now it's back to worrying about EPL
Villarreal 2 Everton 1(Villareal 4-2)-Everton still have a long way to go before they can go in the big time

Rangers 2 Anorthosis 0(Rangers 4-1)-by then they are hanging Union Jacks at Ibrox and are videotaping anti-Celtic crap from the terraces.but they can't use it this year except at Old Firm matches.they still have a Hearts and Aberdeen problem to tackle back home
Monaco 2 Betis 2(Betis 3-2)-Monaco seemed to have gone through...but in the end Ricardo Oliveira just snuffed them out
Udinese 3 Sporting 2(Udinese 4-2)-another fairytale story.slightly cliche plot means that Udinese are also turned into noobies for this year
Inter 1 Shakhtar 1(Inter 3-1)-they switched off after the second half.without a crowd to energize them,they just kept the score.yawn
Bremen 3 Basel 0(Bremen 4-2)-sometimes,casting someone out in a rage may have disastrous consequences.esp just a few hour before you get eliminated
Ajax 3 Brondby 1(Ajax 5-3)-phew...they were thinking
Slavia 0 Anderlecht 2(Anderlecht 4-1)-5th time unlucky
Lokomotiv Moscow 0 Rapid 1(Rapid 2-1)-unfortunately,dominating for large parts of the game doesn't guarantee a win,as the Railwaymen learnt the hard way
Rosenborg 3 Steaua 2(Rosenborg 4-3)-they were lucky.whether they could squeeze into intertoto remains to be seen.but now it's still back to the big time
Club Brugge 1 Valerenga 0(aet 1-1.Brugge 4-3 on penalties)-evenly matched.so they have to use something very cruel called Penalty Shootout to throw one out.and happily for Rosenborg(in the short term),their rivals drew the short straw

Lens 3 Cluj 1-had they been warned about Auxerre's 7-0 drubbing,they would have at least reduced it into 2-1
Marseille 5 Deportivo 1-last minute comeback saves Marseille
Valencia 0 Hamburg 0-Valencia's shambles year continues
