Surprising that Barca/Chelsea is on ESPN Deportes instead of ESPN2. As usual, ESPN is clueless when it comes to soccer coverage. I would have thought they'd keep it off TV to try and promote their fledging broadband PPV service (which I've heard isn't worth it), but the majority of those who get ESPN2 also get Deportes. By the way, don’t bother writing emails to them or their ombudsman. It doesn’t help.

While Chelsea/Barca is the glamour match, I think the most aesthetically pleasing will be Arsenal/CSKA. Both teams have stylish players (CSKA is chock-full of Brazilians; Vagner Love and Daniel Carvalho are definitely two to watch), and both will come out looking for the win that will probably see them through to qualification. Look for Henry to come out wanting revenge for his disallowed goal in the last match. Gunnerrific, as always, is the place to go for Arsenal talk, especially if you’re an American.

Predictions/Guesses:
Barca 2-1
Bayern 2-0
Bremen 1-0
PSV 0-0 Gala
Roma 3-2
Valencia 3-0
Inter 2-0
Milan 3-0
AEK 1-1 Lille
Arsenal 2-1
Benfica 0-0 Celtic
Man Utd 3-0
Hamburg 2-2 Porto
Lyon 3-0
Madrid 3-1
