Uh, 17th, I think. That was a terrible match. and I watched it in a bar with a bunch of French fans and it was embarasing. Liverpool just couldn't keep it together. Their passing was slopping, and there were so many mid-field turnovers my head was spinning. Marseille scored an additional two goals that were called offside, but barely, and they deserved both of them - they were the only team to really create offensive chances. The one chance that Liverpool really had was a disaster - goalkeeper out of the play, with the ball bouncing arond the penalty area, and all they could do was fire shots off of defenders, the goal posts, anywhere but the back of the net. Ridiculous.

I was nowhere near as polite and did NOT refrain from laughing at Milan AT ALL. Especially because nearby there was a guy in a Milan kit being incredibly annoying and making rude remarks about Liverpool and Werder. And waving for a booking everytime someone so much as looked at Kaka, good grief.
Saw bits and pieces of the Madrid match, and was generally unimpressed. Given that they keep raiding all my clubs, I expect better!
Oh, Chelsea. Finally, and thank GOD, because I was getting worried. Disappointed that it had to come against Valencia, of all teams, though...
I was also disappointed with Slavia's loss...I don't fancy their odds against Arsenal. Sigh.
UEFA Cup matches seem to be going better, though...*crosses finger*

And considering that Milan fan, I probably wouldn't have been able to refrain from laughing, either. God, how annoying. *sigh* Poor you!
I suppose you have every reason to be mad at Real because Ajax dropped out of the UEFA Cup and once again it was so evident that Wesley is missing. :( I'm sorry!
Fortunately, Germany's UEFA Cup matches were all more or less successful. Only Leverkusen lost, but they reached the group stage anyway, so I'm not complaining.
Ha. Ha. Ajax. What a mess. The only bright spot in that match was that we somehow found a way to come from behind and score twice at the end of overtime to finish in a draw. And then, of course, get knocked out anyway on away goals. And the troubles just continue in the Eredivisie. We just lost our coach.
And, I mean, I don't blame Wesley for leaving, at all - that's the curse of Dutch football, all these players come up through the youth system, which is phenomenal, and turn into wonderful players, and then just as they are beginning to fulfill their potential they leave, for a better league and a club that will pay them more. Only about a third of the Dutch national squad actually plays in the Eredivsie. And it makes total sense for them to leave, because it's what's best for their careers. It's just frustrating.
Especially because I like Real. It's very difficult to be angry with them.
On the plus side, I suppose, I have Arjen/Wesley plotbunnies running rampant in my head :P

Yes, I am much more pleased with the state of things in Germany :D especially in the UEFA Cup. I read today that apparently Bayern has one of the toughest group draws there...hopefully they will show up to play, because I think if they do then it won't matter who they're playing against.
