Interesting how many people think Ajax will win, and only one person thinks Ajax will lose.

I know they'll lose.

No, they are top of the league and still in the Champions League.

Actually, Ajax is second in the league, 8 points behind PSV.

Well done Zopper and Fergus - top scorers last night.

Hmm, it looks like my feeling of certainty that Milan would get a last minute winner was wrong. Oh well.
They're still my outside bet for the whole tournament.

After last night Real must still be favourites, it'll be interesting to see how Barca do tonight.

I really should remember to play this game more often.

[Zopperoni]

Well, it was possible, Ambrosini got close at some point.

But basically, Ajax controlled the match. It was good to see Litmanen again; the guy is injured way too often

The second leg matches will be played in two weeks.

Bah! I was banking on late goals from both Milan and Valencia and they both let me down!

At least Saviola sneaked a lucky shot in towards the end of the game in Turin.

[Zopperoni]

Dang, if my predictions were swapped around, I would have had twenty points...

[MikeH]

I got yesterdays scores 100% right, just applied them to the wrong games.

[Locutus]

Dang, just 1 point short
