Groups set for second stage of champions league. Groups A and B look to be mini groups of death. Group C looks like a clash between Spanish and Italian titans. And everyone's favorite/least favorite English side seems to have an easy road in Group D. Predictions? Thoughts?

My predictions: Group A: Barcelona, Inter Group B: Valencia, Arsenal Group C: Real Madrid, Milan Group D: Manchester United, Juventus This is where the real Champions League starts. Only Lokomotiv and Basle look to be out of their depth at this level.

Not really a wrap-up on the Champions League beat yet, but the news is there. I'll start this off with my predictions: Group A: Inter and Bayer advance Group B: Arsenal (Yup, I'm a homer) and Valencia advance. Group C: Real and AC Milan (though Real could be replaced by Dortmund if they don't shape up soon) Group D: Man U and Deportivo advance. Feel free to mock me now, or mock me later.
