Champions League Matchday 5

I need to practice better time management, seeing how it’s less than 2 hours until most of these games begin, and the CSKA Moscow v Porto match has already started. Life lesson, and all…

Predictions in bold.

Tuesday, 21 November 2006:
• CSKA Moscow v FC Porto (12:30pm, Setanta and ESPN Deportes); no prediction, Porto’s currently up 1-0
• AEK Athens v AC Milan (2:45pm); 0-3

No espn2 game tomorrow because of college basketball’s Maui Invitational. ESPN’s coverage has gotten far better, but I reiterate, why buy the CL rights if you are going to preempt it every chance you get?

Liverpool/PSV (Wednesday 2:45pm, Setanta) preview in a couple of hours.
