Seriously, I like NFL, but I love football (soccer) more

And it all kicks off tomorrow, thus giving me an excuse to hang around the pub even more.

So, for the next 9 months, let this thread follow the Euro 2012 thread and be a realm of banter and discussion. There will be times due to a lack of fixtures that this thread will drift away, especially in January, but I'll be keeping an eye on things. Apart from D-USA and one or two others, I'm not sure how many other football fans there are, but even if I have to keep this thread going myself to spite people, I will! As usual, anybody from the USA who wants to get involved, but doesn't know what the hell soccer is all about, can adopt a team! v

This is more fun than presidential elections!

Anyway, on with the good stuff.

Prediction to win the thing: I'll nail my colours to the mast and take the easy choice of saying that Barcelona will be champions

Madrid will probably fall short, Chelsea won't be able to park the team bus again, and Bayern Munich will never win anything with Gomez as their main striker!

Anyway, enough of my yakking. Here are the groups and my choice fixtures for week one.

Group A
Din Zagreb

Celtic on the other hand just lost 2-1 to the team that was bottom of the SPL, the team in questions had gotten 2 points from their previous 5 games
