Hey that's not a bad group! Marseille is nowhere near Europe's top 20 teams! The other two are Europe 2nd division.

I predict that will be the first sold out in AEL's history. :wink:

Fenerbahçe is a far better team. Am not at all optimistic. Lets hope the bloody hooligans will be under control.

P.S. And what a poor performance by APOEL.

Not really... even PAOK ranks higher than them!

Fenerbahce has players of the likes of Raul Meireles and Dirk Kuyt. They both played for LIverfool FC in the past. (not a typo! :wink: )

Also Nigerian international Joseph Yobo played for many years in England's legendary club Everton FC. :!:

Another great player is Milos Krasic who played for Italian champions Juventus FC until last year.

IMO, Marseille is by far the weakest team, because they finished 10th last year in the French Ligue 1, and I cannot point to any significant player in their squad.

Neither Borussia Mönchengladbach has star players, but from what I have seen last year, they are a very solid team (finished 4th in the Bundesliga).

They're all pretty much even in this group and I wouldn't be surprised if AEL advances.

Sheriff Tiraspol 1–2 Marseille
Marseille 0-0 Sheriff Tiraspol
(1 win and 1 draw = 4 points)

AEL Limassol 2–1 Anderlecht
Anderlecht 2-0 AEL Limassol
(1 win and 1 loss = 3 points)

Mönchengladbach 1-3 Dynamo Kyiv
Dynamo Kyiv 1-2 Mönchengladbach
(1 loss and 1 win = 3 points)

Spartak Moskva 2-1 Fenerbahçe
Fenerbahçe 1-1 Spartak Moskva
(1 loss and 1 draw = 1 point)

In other news... Porto's Hulk moves to Zenit for a ridiculous 60 million!

What a ripoff! :?

He's not even worth 10!
