- IMPORTANT: it only counts if you write down your complete line-up or
orders in the following form: "Player X in, player Y out." Anything else
(e.g. "can I change X with Y?" :) ) is not a valid order.
- Any player whose team has not played yet can be replaced by any other
player whose team has not played yet.
- Min 3 defenders, max 3 forwards (positions according to
http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2013/clubs/index.html )
- Only goals scored count.

- Classic F1 scoring system: 9 points to the 1st in a given matchday, then
6, 4, 3, 2, 1. In case of a tie the points are divided (e.g. two players in
2nd places -> they get (6+4)/2 = 5 points each). 0 goals scored always means
0 points.

I should update my line-up, but I really don't feel like it. Indeed I don't
feel like doing anything. I hate my life.

Why? See what's the most related concept to "milivella" according to

Ok, so Montpellier wont score against Arsenal, limiting the selection this
week...

Sagna Koscielny Sakho - Ribery Nasri Menez Pogba - Benzema Giroud Roux

Provisional...

Super Mario will be back-though on the bench- for this game, you just
know if he plays for 5 minutes he will score, just not sure if he will
play?

Germany (Binder Dundat): Howedes Lahm Hummels -  Gotze Reus Draxler
Kroos - Mueller Podolski Gomez

Line-up for matchday _5_ (I had the header wrong!):
Alba Ramos Pique - Fabregas Cazorla Iniesta Xavi - Villa Rodrigo Soldado
Maybe I'll still tinker with it, above all the midfielder. :/

Pareja should be suspended, and Higuain is out with injury. Pastore
didn't start the last UCL game, but I'm afraid I'll have to stick with
him. Goal.com has Gaitan starting but not Salvio. Should I believe them?
Maybe I should just stay away from both, since I won't have the chance
to make last minute changes...

But why I am even worrying about this. The Argies will just keep on
shooting blanks, and I'll have to write poetry about ... ugh... Catania.
I mean, they are so insignificant, I can't even think of ways of being
mean to them.

Ah well...

Argentina (Futbolmetrix): Otamendi Garay DeMichelis - Pastore DiMaria
TinoCosta L.Gonzalez - Messi Aguero Saviola

And may the ArgieMidgets be superior to the Generic Midgets!

 If WASON LIBARDO RENTERA CUESTA were Brazilian, he would have been an obvious pick, even if he doesn't play for an European club (#RenteraAwarenessMonth)

 Brazil (Jesus Petry): Luis?o ThiagoSilva Alex - Fernandinho Willian Teixeira Oscar - LuizAdriano Jonas Alan

 Tchau!
 Jesus Petry

Take out Roux, put in Ronny Rodelin, how's that for a smokey?

While you can still change any player not involved in BATE vs. Lille and
Spartak vs. Barca, I could be unable to update the line-ups, so I better
post the situation as it is right now:

Argentina (Futbolmetrix): Otamendi Garay DeMichelis - Pastore DiMaria
TinoCosta L.Gonzalez - Messi Aguero Saviola

Belgium (ixion martin - GdBx): Alderweireld Kompany Lombaerts VanBuyten
Vermaelen - Gillet Hazard Klonaridis Witsel - DeSutter

Brazil (Jesus Petry): Luis o ThiagoSilva Alex - Fernandinho Willian Teixeira
Oscar - LuizAdriano Jonas Alan

England (The Doctor): Gibbs Jenkinson Lescott - Walcott Milner Rodwell Barry
Wilshere Oxlade-Chamberlain - Sinclair

France (The Scrutineer): Sagna Koscielny Sakho - Ribery Nasri Menez Pogba -
Benzema Giroud Rodelin

Germany (Binder Dundat): Howedes Lahm Hummels - Gotze Reus Draxler Kroos -

Messi 2 goals already.

And Gianni Bruno scores.  But not picked.
Dani Alves has also scored.  Brazil could enter two teams and finish
first and second.

I will be dropping Nani for sure.  Maybe Bruno Alves too.  Waiting till
lineups come out.  Danny is finally back from injury for Zenit I think.

Min. 27: Messi (Barcelona) scores! The lead is doubled, and it is a
fourth of this season's competition for the Argentinian. Messi slipped
in Andr s Iniesta whose shot was well saved by Andriy Dykan, but the
forward was on hand to drive in the rebound from ten metres.

Stupid Messi! Stop slipping in Iniesta! You know he's going to miss!
Just take care of business yourself!

Min 39: Messi (Barcelona) scores! The Argentinian's 80th of the calender
year comes as a stretching Marek Such is unable to cut out Pedro
Rodr guez's through ball, and Messi collects, slips past Andriy Dykan,
and rolls into an empty net.

Yes, that's more like it! And by the way, it's fine if you make assists
to Pedro. Or Dani Alves, for that matter.
