And you know you have a good team when Fabregas is a sub and Raul is at home watching it on TV.
Looks to be the favorites so far, nonetheless its shaping up to be quite a knockout round. Some of the group games are pretty predictable and boring, but I guess that's to be expected in a tournament like this.
