stupid Arsenil blasts Reading down while Villa got blasted by a division 3 team even with all their best players...what a letdown.Singapore U23 lions too,they should have bashed their heads against the wall and ponder what's wrong.or so does many people think.since the U23 has so little experience and it's hard bring noobies to battle,spare a thought for them can?but I love the Singapore Gymnasts...wheeeee

so how,it's a typical Euro week once again,not when there's even more UEFA Cup footy to go down with.since it's held over 2 days,at least here's a bit of leeway,so let's go!

Slavia Prague-Monaco-i wish the Monegasques change back to their diagonal red and white stripes.they seem to have better luck with that.but they should have no problems in their gold away strip whatsoever
CSKA Sofia-Viking FK-the UEFA Cup featured at least a blind bet(since I dunno their form,just strictly guessing) since Matchday 1.CSKA should win 1-0

Lokomotiv Moscow-Maccabi Petach Tikva-2-0 or a comfortable enough score
Brondby-Espanyol-sub-zero temperatures,plus insistent showers,would render any predictions other than a home win useless.the extent of which they win would be restricted to 1 goal

Sampdoria-Hertha Berlin-do or die,after the humiliating defeat against Cagliari.a draw would not help much this time.
Steaua-Halmstads-no hope Swedes are more or less dead.expect Steaua to win 3-0 and up

Grasshoppers Zurich-Dnipro-forget about Dnipro.2-0 is very likely
Litex Lovech-AZ Alkmaar-conditions in East Europe can be scary at times,but not if Alkmaar is involved.a draw would be the most likely outcome,1-1 or 2-2

Red Star Belgrade-Roma-Roma 1-0.that's the barest minimum.any more,then it will mean they have to negotiate the war zone
Basel-Tromso-Basel 2-1 should do the job nicely

Dinamo Bucharest-CSKA Moscow-this is really a no-brainer.the Army Men should win 3-1
Levski Sofia-Marseille-if Auxerre's lethal shot in Sofia would give anything to think about,1-0 to Marseille should do well,disregarding the fact that Levski are quite strong at home,of which I'd be tempted to put Levski 1-0

Rennes-Shakhtar Donetsk-I think Rennes won't win this crucial match.neither would they score
Rapid Bucharest-PAOK Salonica-PAOK is mostly dead meat

Sevilla-Vitoria Guimaraes-Sevilla should do well there
Besiktas-Zenit SP-Welcome to Hell...or so they thought.If Besiktas doesn't win 1-0,at least a draw would do fine for Zenit
