Nice to see Hanover winning. First half was pretty dominant. 2nd half with the early goal for Poltawa it became a really tough job. But good fighting and a nice win.

Sporting held on for a 2-1 win over Lazio, playing nearly the entire second half with 10 men after Insúa's red card. They were a bit lucky tough.
One of the best matches of the season so far, great football

Good that Spurs won. Dominant first half, failed to score a goal. Then Shamrock scored out of nothing at the start of the second half. Luckily, the players turned the match, with 3 fast goals when an hour was played. Now, bring on Gunners on Sunday!

Sporting with an important win today, 2-0 over Zurich. And Braga winning.
As a Portugese, what do you think about Van Wolfswinkel and Schaars?
Ever since Postiga and Djalo left Sporting, they've been growing better and better each game. They had to adapt to a different language and to a team with more than 15 new players, but as soon as things started to go better in the game with Paços Ferreira, they've shown their potential. Wolfswinkel knows where to be and what to do, with and without the ball, and has proven this with some great goals (the one against Zurich, he left the defender completely lost in there!). Schaars has also began to improve, in the first matches he didn't look very good, but now it seems completely different. I can't tell much of him as I didn't watch the entire games (from what I've seen, he's been improving), but to lead the midfield, like he did (or I believe he did) in AZ will be a difficult task, Elias and Rinaudo seem a level above him right now.

And what about Witsel & Defour?
I can't talk much about Defour because I only saw one game of his against Leiria, but from what I've seen from him (I think he played as winger there), he created nice attack opportunities and even made an assist. Overall, if he finds space in the team, he'll be for sure one important member of the starting eleven. As for Witsel, he can be a bit slow, thus slowing down the attack, but has an excellent strenght and it's very hard to send him down when pressuring him. Nice ball touch too, and I've seen his best peformance live, against Twente. He and Aimar should do a great double.

Yay! 10.000 96ers in Kopenhagen! Hope it'll be a great game!
Just got a call from the stadium from my brother.
I am pretty jealous to be honest right now as he had a ticket for me but I had no time.
Must be an amazing atmosphere there.
