The Champions League format has been set: Malaga - Borussia Dortmund vs Real Madrid vs Galatasary : PSG -Barcelona vs Bayern Munich - Juventus.
Borussia Dortmund vs Malaga
Mario Goetze is the Roberto Baggio of German football and he has a solid team around him. The Germans will advance without much difficulty and may even win it all.
Winner: Dortmund
Real Madrid vs Galatasary
Real is in for a fight. With the additions of Drogba and Sneijder the Turks will give no quarter. However at this stage in the competition no club coached by Mourinho has faltered regardless of what his players may think of him.
Winner: Real Madrid
Barcelona vs PSG
Even without Ibra for the first leg PSG has options for attacking Barca's brittle defense. Lucas, Pastore and Verratti will need to rise to their potential. But Lionel Messi is in the LeBron James zone and almost impossible to stop.
Winner: Barcelona
Bayern Munich vs Juventus
Almost impossible to call. Asamoah still has an African Cup hangover and Chiellini isn't match fit. That may be enough to tip the balance to the Bavarians.
Winner: Bayern Munich

Tough to argue with your choices, however there is usually an upset at this stage of the competition and I am not sure a Juventus or Malaga win would be considered an upset. So I am picking Galatasaray over Real Madrid. Should be a fun round.
Thanks for the infos. I also found another store at sheppard and Allen. It's called goal planet.
I'll check them.
Kudos for picking decisively and early.
I am with you on Dortmund, Barcelona and Real. I see Bayern-Juve as to0 close to call, and certainly the most interesting pairing.
Italy 2 Brazil 2
I'm pissed at Rogers Sportsnet World for not broadcasting one of the most entertaining matches of the season. I had the podcast to fall back on, stronzi!

currently on sportsnet a very charged world cup qualifier b/w croatia and serbia.
the first time the two teams have played each other as independent states since a match in 1991, a match in which the 2 current coaches both figured in prominently as players.
croatia should not have a problem with serbia, with modric and mandzukic.
but a good example of the greater importance of football in general. this match has great implications for the former warring nations in terms of geopolitical and diplomatic relations. quite an amazing atmosphere in the stadium. what a great sport!!
a good piece from the new york times on the topic.

I wouldn't take that wager.
Except for Ivanovic and Subotic (Dortmund), the rest of Serbia's defense were groomed in Serie A, they know how to defend.

yes yes, groomed in Serie A , in the tradition of their leader, coach Mihajlovic, who played for several serie A clubs in his career (Roma, Lazio, Internazionale)
certainly defence is their greatest asset.
historic/landmark win for the croats.
enjoyed the link!
An important step forward in carrying out that match between Croatia and Serbia, but I hope we will get to see a day when rival supporters travel to the other country, unfortunately 90% will be tarnished by the few idiots who go looking to start trouble but there is hope.
On a side note, someone at FIFA needs to explain why they thought it was a good idea to play a soccer match in March in DENVER!!! not like they had a huge country and better venue to choose from

there is hope. it will happen, but will take time. probably a wise provision for the first match in 2 decades.
it probably helps that many of the players were not even born when the war started.
