No. I think its just that recently the players have not been put on such a big pedastle as before so it doesnt have the same feeling as if you are watching something special. Also overall there have been far more under-perfornances.

Unless you are at the game to feel the atmoshpere and have the hairs on the back of your neck stand up before your about to be pumped off some foreign team. Oh well there is always next season, mind we have that mighty foreign team Aberdeen to beat first.

No. Porto winning. Roma in the last 4.

How do you put polls on

Stevens · 03-23-2007, 10:34 PM

Yes but I still find it exciting due to the high quality of football in it especially from the quarter final onwards.

An edition of the UEFA Champions League seems starange (to me) when Real Madrid are not the winning.

Any edition of the FIFA World Cup seems starange when Brazil are not the winning team.

Any edition of the Rugby World Cup seems starange when Australia are not the winning team!

Any edition of the Premier League seems starange when Man Utd are not the winning team!

It seems like they belong together!

No. I dont think it has become predictable. Look at Bayern vs Madrid, people everywhere (except me) predicted Madrid to win and advance.

Look at the Milan vs Celtic game although Milan missed several chances Celtic gave them a run for their money

Arsenal vs PSV was another example.

danyab · 03-29-2007, 03:02 PM

no.
psv and roma
confirm my opinion

Jamie · 03-29-2007, 06:06 PM

Most definitely not.

In the last 3 years alone there has been two huge upsets with Liverpool and Porto winning the tournament. We also now see teams like Lyon, PSV and Roma make an impact.

The Champions League is not predictable.

I dont think it has, even if it is stale the final rounds are always exciting.
