Barcelona v Panathinaikos

v

The first match between the clubs in Athens on 18 October saw Panathinaikos FC end FC Barcelona's 100 per cent UEFA Champions League record this season with a 0-0 draw, a result that has also left the Greek club in a challenging position in the group table. Both clubs will now be looking for a positive showing to increase their chances of qualifying for the knockout stages.

I predict 4-0 for Barca.

Barca had better run these guys into the ground this time. That was pathetic, the last match...a draw?! With Panathinaikos?? If they want to win this tourney, Barca need to pick it up now. I think they'll do it this time, 3-1.

This is like a forgone conclusion as i think that mighty Barca would get 3 points in the bag especially after wacking Real Sociedad 5-0.
It is played at the Nou Camp so Barca winning by at least 2 goals is highly possible, dont you think so ??
Hahaha, Barca will blow Panathinaikos (i hope i got the spelling right) away .

Giuly and Maxi Lopez are out of the 19 players in the team for this match. This once again points to a possible Messi start, unless they go with Larsson up front with Eto'o, which has been done in the past.

I expect Messi to get the start, maybe even with Larsson, as Eto'o has lacked touch in the past 2 matches... maybe a rest would be wise, keeping him on the bench to come on fresh for the last 20 minutes in an emergency.....

Also, Marquez is back from Mexico and in the team!

Deco still out injured, Gabri back in the team.

The 19 players listed in the team for the match:

Porteros: Valdés y Jorquera
Defensas: Oleguer, Puyol, Edmílson, Márquez, Gabri, Sylvinho, Gio
Centrocampistas: Xavi, Motta, Iniesta, Van Bommel
Delanteros: Messi, Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Larsson, Ezquerro

i predict a big win for Barca - Ronaldinho will rock again

I hope Barca will win this surely. I predict 3-0. ( Eto`o , Messi and Ronny)
Really hope to see a clean sheet from Valdes again I think Messi will start, coz he hasn`t played at all in last 2 games. But Maxi rested? He hasn`t got allmost at all time in the pitch Barca is in top form, so i`m not really worried, this game is ours
We are looking an early goal and i think we can do it. Hope to see Ronaldinhos amazing performance

-edit- ROnaldinho is top scorer in CL right now Really would like to see a goal from him tonight too

I think they will keep Maxi out of all CL games until after the winter transfer window, in case they are able to loan him out (to Betis??)

I think today we will see a big scoreline from Barca, 3 to 5 goals... and I HOPE a clean sheet.

live stream, live stream, any?

Not that I know of.... yet. I'll let you know if I find one though.


Also, starting lineup is in:


Valdes
Oleguer/Puyol/Edmilson/Gio
Xavi at DM
Van Bommel/Iniesta
Messi/Eto'o/Ronaldinho

Not many surprises in the lineup. I really like Iniesta in the Deco role, I think that he is a future star for Barca if he gets chances.

I predict 7:1 to barca

GOAL BARCA in first 40 seconds!!!!

Iniesta pass to Van Bommel who scores!!!!!

1-0


MESSI!!! almost makes it 2-0, but the GK saves it.......

still 1-0

Now Eto'o breaks through and forces a save from the GK.......

go to http://www.sopcast.org, download the software, then open channel Tzampa TV or mrc football

ETO'O!!!!

2-0 Barca!!!!!! Header!!!

Eto'o scored off his head? That is more incredible than Ronaldo scoring off his head!

It doesn't seem to work.

We rule

I predict that the score may reach 5 or 6 - hope we can score more

I couldn't get it installed, I'll stop trying...

I may just search all the pplive chans..... maybe it is there???




3 of is 9 Liga goals are headers

Expecting 4-5 goals from Barca today.

PS : Who got the assist on the Etoo goal ?? Want to know as I got Ronaldinho as my captain in the Fantasy football

I am listening to the match, can't see, but Barca are pressureing like mad... ronaldinho and Eto'o both with chances.....

Disregard this post.

I got it.

11 shots on goal in the first 30 minutes!!!!

Really?? Well I'll be.

Werder Bremen ar 2 - 0 ahead

Barca - we need to score more (i love goals)

3-0!!!

MESSIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!

"Papadopoulos has a chance with a difficult volley on the edge of the 'D'...hmmmmmmmmm that's gone into orbit. THey'll get the ball back next week."

haha, gotta love eurosport live:)

Wow Messi - how did he score

do you have a URL for the chan so I can put it into the program??

4-0!!!!!!!!

BARCA!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!!!!!

GOAL FOR ETO'O!!!!!!!

Can anyone describe Messi's goal??

Awesome display of our muscles tonight

Hope more are scored

hmm it seems like domination is occurring in the barca game. I'm stuck watching this Man U game....

All of Sopcast seems to be down so none will work until they get the entire thingar back up. PPlive is not showing it, if i remember correctly.

anyone help out with the 'sopcast' channel URL? I can't get it to play. I have the program running, but can't find how to get the channel. Any help appriciated so I can watch the seocnd half!!

4-0?

Wow, lol. The greeks are going to get punished badly. I see Barca scoring one more goal.

more than one mate

Thanks

Never used sopcast.... hope I have it right when it comes back on. Any advice in general for sopcast users?

Sorry for the misunderstanding. When I said "I got it" I meant I got it to delete off my computer

I'm stuck watching the Man U game on ESPN2. They're down one-nil by the way

I'm just gonna DL the match on torrent when it comes out. Seems like we're putting on quite the show

Wow, it looks like Van Bommel scored at 20 seconds.... must be a record for CL.....

Complete fiasco in the Pana defense.

Eto'o tries to squeeze in 2 defenders, loses the ball but Messi squeezes himself between the ball and the 2 defenders.

One of the defenders seems to try some retarded back pass with a diving header, but instead just hits the floor with no contact with the ball and by doing so took himself out of the play.

Messi takes advantage to take a shot. Hits the keeper, but the ball pops up instead and Messi hits it again while another defender desperately tries to stop him.

I have no idea how the first match between those 2 teams ended 0-0 as Pana can't seem to even spell the word "defense".

At least CR7 did some skills and a goal was scored

I am watching the most boring shit (Juve - munich) - i am sleeping

FROM UEFA:

- FC Barcelona lead 4-0 here at half time at the Camp Nou stadium. Dutch midfield player Mark van Bommell scored a contender for the quickest goal in the tournament’s history when he gave the home side the lead after just 20 seconds. Samuel Eto’o made it two with an excellent header when unmarked in the box on 13 minutes, while 18-year-old Lionel Messi, in the side for the injured Deco, scored a third on 34 minutes. Ronaldinho, Eto’o and Messi all squandered further chances before Eto’o added the best goal so far. A neat move started by Messi saw Ronaldinho flick the ball to his left and the Cameroon international drilled home from 10 metres with his left foot.

I'm waiting for the server back too

Barca makes a lot of defences look that way

Everything summed up by this statement

If Villarreal can score a goal and win the match today, and Man U doesn't get a goal back against Lille, then Villarreal will be top of the group!!! As it stands now, even if they draw, the group will be in a deadlock with 3 teams at 5 points, and Villarreal at 4 points.

Barca fans, we need Villarreal to get to the next stage of the tourny, to maximize the pay for Riquelme!!!

Come on Villarreal!!!!

we're in champion form again, we're in champion form again, we're in champion form again lala laa la la laa laa laaa!

and you're not alone at waiting sopcast to return.. there's nothing at sopcast forums either

Wow the way things are going it will be more than 5 goals which i predicted !!

Hopefully Ronaldinho gets a few

I think he has 2 assists, on the 2 Eto'o goals.

and that Villareal thing.. most definately so. I just wish Riquelme would still play for us.
