Just completed the draw and here you are:
GROUPA: Bayern Munich (Germany), Juventus (Italy), Bordeaux (France), Maccabi Haifa (Israel)
Outlook: A Germany v Isreal matchup, keep the anti-semitism to yourselves. Though Kirk v Adam as FC Hollywood squares off with the Old Lady. Bayern and Juve should progress.
GROUP B: Manchester United (England), CSKA Moscow (Russia), Besiktas (Turkey), Wolfsburg (Germany)
Outlook: here's your free pass to the knockout stage Manyoo. But look out for Wolfsburg. Manyoo and Wolfsburg to go through.
GROUP C: AC Milan (Italy), Real Madrid (Spain), Marseille (France), FC Zurich
Outlook: Damn damn, damn, damn. Kaka comes back to the San Siro sooner than I'd like. Milan ought to have enough to get out of this group. Real Madrid and Milan go through, but Marseille should make this fun.
GROUP D: Chelsea (England), FC Porto (Portugal), Atletico Madrid (Spain), APOEL (Cyprus)
Outlook: Porto is down, Chelsea is solid and Atletico can score on anyone (too bad everyone can score on them). Chelsea and Atletico should go through.
GROUP E: Liverpool (England), Lyon (France), Fiorentina (Italy), Debrecen (Hungary)
Outlook: Over under on number of goals Debrecen concede in this group: 17. I'll take the over. Liverpool and Lyon go through.
GROUP F: Barcelona (Spain), Inter (Italy), Dynamo Kiev (Ukraine), Rubin Kazan (Russia)
Outlook: Well we'll see my Ibra vs Eto'o theory in direct fashion now won't we? Barcelona and Inter go through.
GROUP G: Sevilla FC (Spain), Rangers (Scotland), VFB Stuttgart (Germany), Unirea Uziceni (Romania)
Outlook: How Sevilla is seeded over Real Madrid or Juventus is anyone's guess. But this could be a really entertaining group. Stuttgart and Sevilla to progress.
GROUP H: Arsenal (England), AZ Alkmaar (Holland), Olympiakos (Greece), Standard Liege (Belgium)
Outlook: There you go Gooners, a free pass to the knockouts. This will clearly be a battle for 2nd in the group. Arsenal and Olympiakos to go through.
