Chelsea psg tho:angry:

Ibra will find a goal in both matches cause lets face it, it's just what he does, but I think the Blues will prosper over 180 mins. Mourinho has proven he can can take anyone on over two legs.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a site or a program where I could set up a pick-em bracket contest (similar as used for March Madness), but for the Champions League Quarterfinals moving to the Championship Match. The pool managers I have seen online do not have a set up for Soccer and they do not allow creating your own brackets (really only need a simple 8-team bracket).

The owner of the bar I go to has a contest every year, except he does everything on paper, and no one knows how anyone is doing, or anyone else's picks, until he announces the winner at the end. I could do something via spreadsheet which would calculate everything, but I wanted to find a site so that people could enter their own picks, see the standings and avoid all the manual calculations on my part.

Thanks for any help!

BTW, I think that Bayern will take it this year.

ibra is a beast but he has something that he disappears in big games. I mean if you look at last year when they played barca they had them but he didn't show up

Think Ibra will do damage?
Dunno he is a beast tho. But I think chelsea can get them I hope so. But psg is a team now they got use to each other so we will see

Off topic.

Can't believe that Jermain Defoe has gone to MLS. With the right service he is going to get a ton of goals....

This Clasico, I will be using to assess how Barca will do in the CL. If they play like they did last week, I will feel confident against Athletico. If it's like the last 2 months or so.....little hope. So we better be ready to fight today.

I hear Toronto spend some money so he should be able to do well. Scored 2 in the opener I believe.

Maybe, but they have to play 3 tough fixtures(Bilbao, Villareal and Valencia) before the last game of the season(which is against Barca).

Yeah its not over yet for barca and real. but ath madrid are going to getkicked out of CL and they will be fresher than both barca and real.

mascherano is the WORST

they better spend for the defense because this shit is ridiculous :angry:

Mascherano was atrocious today. I thought Bartra or Song could've changed the game instantly. That second Benzema goal probably would never have happened with 2 more inches out there.

There was a gaping hole in the middle of that defense and Di Maria was having his way with it.

If they do spend, I wonder who the top candidates are. Hummels or Boatenf come to mind.

Mangala, mamadou sahko, Hummels, subotic I can go on and on. But they are not going toget them. Pique sucks
