UEFA CL play begins today!

The drama continues on the pitch today.  

Real Madrid v Manchester City - Will CR7 recover from his sadness to lead Los Blancos to glory?  Up front they're going with Higuain, CR7, DiMaria, and Essien (curiously no Ozil or Modric, and of course no Kaka).  Should be a great game!  I like Real 2- MCFC 1, but the real (no pun intended) question is whether CR7 smiles today.

Winners below in bold:

Group A
Dinamo Zagreb v Porto - No Hulk, I'm taking Dinamo. Porto's UCL weak play continues from last year.

PSG v Dynamo Kiev - Ibrahimovic tells us all to temper PSG expectations, right bro.  Spent big money for some hardware not tempered expectations, though he's right, could take some time.

Group B
Montepellier v Arsenal - A dominating performance in the Barclays on Saturday carries over.

Olympiakos v Schalke 04 - I'm taking the Greeks at home today.

Damnit! I had some some guru insight for C, D groups.  Games are starting, so I'll make this quick. I like Milan, Zenit, Dortmund, and Real out of the remaining groups.
