Close group seems to be Liverpool group D - pretty even in my opinion.

Must say in Group H - Zenit surprises me in today match against Man U.. Even they keep Arashavin - may give Real Madrid n Juventus a scare..

But 1 thing - think all BPL team will go thru..

CFR Cluj-Napoca winning against Roma in Rome,first upset of this year's CL.
Werder Bremen drew 0-0,a disappointed result.

N.Anelka scored in injury-time to make it 4-0,caused me to win a bit less as i placed bets on Chelsea -1.5 and 3-0 thru Pools.
Glad to win a little.

Does anyone know whether each team still has to register 4 homegrown players in their squads of 24?

The English and Scottish leagues enjoy disproportionate advantage even since the earlier days of decades gone by when each club can regieter only 2 foreign players. Why disproportionate advantage? Because English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish are considered local players in Britain. Yes, including both Northern Ireland and Ireland even though Ireland has become independent from Britain centuries ago. To be fair to clubs of other European leagues, I think that should be addressed and redressed. English clubs seldom or never comprise all-English players even half-or-more English players before these days when international transfers become in vogue and the norm.
