Please, Galata's best player right now is Burak Yilmaz, BY FAR. And he's going to Lazio. As much as Arnau wants to hype a 35 year old Drogba because he drafted his ass it's just useless, he's not the same player, not even close.

And this is coming form a guy that actually watched Galatasaray's first two games this season. A close win against Gaziantep and a shitty draw against Bursaspor. No reason whatsoever to be afraid of them. Trust me.

Portuguese teams got off easy. For Porto even 2nd place would be bad with this group, and Benfica can pass too!

I picked Drogba because he is great player... you are being a fool underestimating him.

Steaua with a decent group. Shakhtar with a hard one.

Arsenal are fucked. But Manchester City finally have a group they can qualify from.

Ajax avoids Real but gets Barca.

That was intentional.

I think Benfica will struggle, it should be an "easy" group for them but honestly i dont know.

And once again Zenit in the same group as Porto.

Arsenal are fucked....

Group H is as much a group of death as Group D was from France 1998:
http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/edition=1013/results/index.html

There are 4 teams that are evenly matched but none of them stand half a chance of winning the tournament. No one is going to care when they get knocked out because they aren't a legitimate threat by any means.

With this in mind, Arsenal should consider themselves lucky and not your word.

 

[Sevillista]

ManU out in the group stages again. I'm calling it.

 

[Pogba4Now]

United get looked down all the time on these forums. If you look at the seasons that United won the league, I am sure that 95% people here were predicting City or Chelsea would win it at the beginning of the season in the "prediction threads" before the start of the season.

That being said though, it will be Moyes first ever UCL so I have absolutely no idea what to expect.

 

[Filipower]

That's because they had Fergie. People made those predictions based on the teams on paper, but Fergie was always the main factor of United's success imo.

 

[zgfnzfhfwen]

Haven't seen much of them.

Newbie what the fuck are you talking about? "None of them stand half a chance of winning the tournament"? You are aware this group contains last years CL finalists who only lost the final in the 89th minute?

How can Arsenal consider themselves lucky in a group where the EASIEST opponent is Marseille?

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

It is not impossible that if United stutter a bit they could finish a surprise third, Sociedad and Shakhtar are good enough to capitalize on any shakeyness, but it is also far from impossible that Man United will absolutely dominate this group and have qualification in the bag by game four.

 

[4ndr3i]

Some cool games about to start in an hour. CL is back baby!

Manchester United v Bayer Leverkusen
Real Sociedad v Shakhtar Donetsk
Galatasaray v Real Madrid
Copenhagen v Juventus
Benfica v Anderlecht
Olympiakos v Paris St Germain
Bayern Munich v CSKA Moscow
Viktoria Plzen v Manchester City

Can't wait to see the slaughter we unleash against Copenhagen.

 

[MaestroZidane]

Been waiting for this day since the draw

Now let see how Real do on this first day.

 

[Mus]

I hope Madrid is trolling and iker is benched

My mood level went up very high when Casillas went off and Diego went in.

Maybe it was just a setup so Ancelotti can say that he did give Casillas a shot.
