CSKA Shock City, Bayern Cruise Past Roma, Nani Sparkles for Sporting, Soccer in Indianapolis


Oh, dear. How is it possible that Manchester City are so poor in the Champions League? They lost again last night, this time at home to CSKA Moscow. They finished with nine men, but the damage had been done prior to the red cards. They were simply woeful. Elsewhere, Bayern Munich continued their goose steps towards a return to the final by dispatching a strong Roma side. Again. Sporting beat Schalke, Barcelona won in Amsterdam as Messi equaled Raul's record, and Chelsea could only draw at Maribor as Eden Hazard saw his late penalty saved. Let's get to it.

Manchester City 1 - 2 CSKA Moscow: Phil McNulty at the Etihad Stadium
Manchester City 1 - 2 CSKA Moscow: Paul Wilson at the Etihad Stadium
Manchester City 1 - 2 CSKA Moscow: Three Points
Ajax 0 - 2 Barcelona: Sid Lowe at the Amsterdam Arena
Bayern Munich 2 - 0 Roma: Three Points
Sporting Lisbon 4 - 2 Schalke: Adam Bate at the Estadio Jose Alvalade

You know, if the Galatasaray fans can't behave themselves, perhaps they shouldn't be allowed to attend away matches. Just saying.

Hey! Not satisfied with two days of Champions League football? Not to worry! The Europa League is coming to the rescue. Featuring...Apollon Limassol vs. Borussia Monchengladbach, Rio Ave vs. Steaua Bucharest, Guingamp vs. Dinamo Minsk, and Lokeren vs. Trabzonspor! Yes, you cannot afford not to watch.


North American Soccer League. Indianapolis. Who knew? Leave it to The Guardian to inform us about soccer in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Stats? Yes, according to them, Liverpool, Hull City, and Borussia Dortmund are in trouble.

That's it! All done! See you tomorrow with previews of the weekend.

Onward!!
