If it all goes right he'll do spectacular stuff with his left foot (like a free kick where it's set up perfectly), but other stuff that looks easy he has to right foot or hit awkwardly with the left causing bad misses. | ||

It's probably one of the most underrated teams in Europe. Didn't they have Inter beaten at home earlier this season, until Nagatomo scored in stoppage time? | ||

Better use that time for more StarCraft! I don't like this Cup but not because of the East-European teams... When I watch a sport on TV, I'm only entertained when the best are competing. The Europa League is a Cup for clubs than aren't good enough for the CL, it's just not attractive at all... It's like watching the 2nd league of a country or Women football, it can be fun 5 minutes or if you're cheering for your local team but that's it :s | ||

Zenit's team has Russia's best player in the Shirokov, Semak also good Russian. Then Hulk. Great team, and a manager who was the most sort after in Europe at one point in Luciano Spalletti. Napoli have Cavani Hamsik Campangho etc, i mean their no mugs. Chelsea, their best players are playing in it. Atletico Madrid and Falcao are playing The German teams in it are no mugs either The Russian teams have the money and are putting out good results too with Kazan and Anzhi English teams with Newcastle Tottenham and Liverpool have the pedigree to attract their fans aswell. All be it, it won't get "very" interesting until the semi finals, it still is good to watch from the Semi's onwards. I do agree it isn't amazing before that. | ||

It's a matter of opinion anyway, some people really love to see more competitions, I just prefer to see fewer competition but with more meaning to them. Some countries like France have 2 National Cups, and there is always one Cup that has more importance than the other, because of its history or because of its format. It's the same with Europa League to me :s I follow Barcelona and PSG, and I support French teams in European competitions, but when I'm in the position of a neutral spectator, I prefer to watch few games with a lot of entertainment (like EPL, Calcio, la Liga, Bundesliga derbies or big games) than watching a game every day just for the sake of it. With Europa League, except for some exceptional matchups like Bilbao vs MU of last year, I don't bother to watch. | ||

The big win for a competition like that though is that for young players (which the Dutch competition has a lot of before they get bought by teams of bigger competitions) get a lot of experience playing against good teams. More money should be given to the league though imo, the difference between EL and CL is too big and rich clubs care more about their domestic league most of the time than the EL. If a little bit more money would be pumped into the EL there would be more attractive matches. Anyway, the final is in Amsterdam this year so hopes are up for Ajax to get there :p. Gogo Bayern and Barça! Don't really care about the other matches. | ||

Anyway, it should be a great game from a spectator view. Neither Arsenal nor Bayern are scrubs and it is the Champions League. Any predictions for results? I don't want to jinx it : P | ||
