When the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 pairings were drawn, this site offered a preliminary forecast, with a promise to revisit the matter closer to kick off. That time is now. Our main guide is still the Top 25 ranking of the world's soccer clubs, (the number in parentheses is the team's corresponding ranking this week; the first leg's home teams are listed first):Liverpool (unranked) vs. Inter Milan (1)Tuesday, 2:30pm EST (ESPN2)Most audiences in the U.S. will get this one tomorrow. A shame, because it's sure to be a blowout. Inter have better players at virtually every position, with Fernando Torres really the only Red capable of starting for the Milan side. To make matters worse, Reds just suffered a new low this weekend, when they lost at home to Barnsley in the FA Cup. Roberto Mancini's side have not lost to anybody since Sept. 19. Only the most delusional Scouser would give Reds any realistic chance of winning this one. And yet, many apparently still do. Pity the fools...Ro
Three rime winner of FA cup and former Liverpool legend Bruce Grobbelaar has said that the cup match between Arsenal and Liverpool at the Old Trafford could give an indication of where the Barclays Premier League crown goes when it comes to May midweek.Arsenal who have been very impressive of late and hold a five point lead over United face Manchester United tomorrow and Grobbelaar was adamant that whoever wins the match will grab the psychological edge for the title race.“There’s no doubt that the winner of this game is going to get a huge boost and a massive psychological advantage,” Grobbelaar said in an interview.

A League of Their Own is a 1992 film that tells a fictionalized account of the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). It starred Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna and Lori Petty. It was adapted by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel from a story by Kim Wilson and Kelly Candaele, and was directed by Penny Marshall.

Another arm will be in camp in a few weeks, as former Indian Scott Elarton was added to the roster today as a minor league free agent. Elarton was with the Tribe in 04 and 05, and was pretty good in 05 going 11-9. Here is the presser from Bart on the signing.

The UN Watch, which is associated with the American Jewish Committee, urged the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbour, to clearify a recent endorsement of the Arab Charter of Human Rights because it “contains several provisions that promote classically anti-Semitic themes.” For example, it contains a sentence which states, “rejecting all forms of [...]

The "London derby league" was all but decided in Arsenal's favor after Gunners' 3-0 win over Fulham last weekend. Arse's embarrassing loss to Spurs in the League Cup didn't really change much. As you can see, their lead is still very substantial (the "league" is a calculation of the Premiership London clubs' records against each other in all competitions): GP W L T GF GA Pts Arsenal 8 7 1 1 16 9 22 Chelsea 5 3 1 1 5 2 10 Tottenham 8 2 3 3 17 14 9 West Ham 5 1 3 1 3 6 4 Fulham 7 0 5 2 7 17 2 Despite being 12 points down with only three games in hand, Chelsea still has a slight chance to dislodge Gunners. For that to happen the two teams would need to play more games than they are currently scheduled to--which can only happen if they are drawn together in Champions League or FA Cup play. Right now the remaining schedule is this:Arsenal: at Chelsea (March 22)Chelsea: at Spur
Keeper leagues are a lot like college fraternities. Membership is exclusive. There are dues to pay. You're among good friends, drinking buddies and other like-minded dudes.

As far as I can tell, nobody has done this in some time. I don't know why, considering how many Premiership teams there are in Britain's capital city and how often they play each other each season. The premise is simple: a single table that calculates these teams' record against each other in all competitions (this would obviously lead to an unequal amount of games' played as some of these teams face each other outside of the league. But we can worry about that later). As might be expected, the London table mimics (but does not carbon copy) the teams' standings in the EPL: GP W L T GF GA Pts Arsenal 7 6 0 1 12 4 19 Chelsea 5 3 1 1 5 2 10 Tottenham 7 1 3 3 12 13 6 West Ham 5 1 3 1 3 6 4 Fulham 6 0 4 2 7 14 2 As you can see, Arse has not lost any of the London derbies they have played this year. In fact, until the Jan. 9 League Cup match against Spurs, Arsenal ha

US universities are attracting talented British teenagers more than Oxford and Cambridge universities because of more substantial American bursaries, say reports. Leading British schools say that many of the highest-scoring students like opting for a broader curriculum and supposedly superior facilities at Ivy League universities, an elite group of eight in the northeast of the United States. This finding has raised fears that top British universities may be losing their global standing. According to official data, 197 British students had applied to Harvard five years ago, while the number has now risen to 290. It has also been revealed that applications to Yale from British teenagers have more than trebled from 74 in 1997 to 234 last year. Reports suggest that Harvard University pays students, whose parents’ income is less than 30,000 pounds, for their tuition fees, accommodation, living expenses and flights home. This package is worth 25,0

It's time for the first-ever Soccer Source Fearless Forecast, as we zero in on the just-drawn UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match-ups. Our main guide will be the Top 25 ranking of soccer clubs, a season-long work-in-progress that attempts to gauge the standings of the best club teams in the world. The assumption here is that the Top 25 ranking--due to its superior use of data-mining and keen insight--is roughly accurate and as such a reliable prognosticator. A flawed assumption? You bet, but so too are all forecasts as well as all assumptions (remember that when you ASSume you make an ass out of you and me). Onward:Schalke (ranked 23 at time of this writing) vs. Porto (6)The German side just made their debut on the list, and to much contention at that. Readers made some excellent points as to why the Gelsenkircheners don't belong. Their issues will be addressed in Monday's Top 25 but for now the point is that Schalke look far inferior to their Portuguese opponents. Forecast: Porto

Glasgow Rangers were unable to gain the single point that would have seen them through to the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League, instead losing 3-0 to Olympique Lyonnais at Ibrox tonight. Karim Benzema notched a second-half brace to seal the deal for the guests, after Sydney Gouvou opened scoring in the 16th minute of play. It's a bitter pill for Rangers, as Walter Smith's side had played well for most of the group stage. Gers even beat today's opponent at the Stade de Gerland--by the identical 3-0 score--and could have clinched advancement as early as Nov. 27. Alas, Rangers ended up losing at lame duck VfB Stuttgart that day--the first and only points the German champions gained during the group stage campaign. As the third-placed team, Rangers will be drawn into the UEFA Cup Round of 32. A nice consolation, but undoubtedly anti-climatic given how close the team was to advancing to the big-money elimination rounds.In the only other game of note, Fenerbahce managed to join t

Liverpool pulled out an impressive victory at Marseille's Stade Velodrome tonight, beating down their hosts by a four goal margin to advance to the Champions League Round of 16. Steven Gerrard put in his own penalty kick rebound four minutes into the game and Marseille never recovered. Four different Reds scored in all as Rafa Benitez' side proved they belong among the final 16. The victory completes an impressive turnaround for Liverpool, who appeared in dire straights after losing their third match day game at Besiktas Istanbul. Stevie G and friends cranked out three straight victories after that, by a total goal difference of 16:1.No major surprises to report in the three other games of meaning that were played today; Porto, Schalke, Real Madrid and Olympiakos all won at home to advance. I am spared the embarrassment of having one of my Top 10 teams bow out (that would be #2 Real, #7 Porto or #10 Olympiakos, in case you're scoring at home). On the other hand, it may be time to make
