Sporting Lisbon v Bayern Munich NOT!

I didn't even surprise you, did I? You already knew I was gonna... oh well (snap).

In addition to bringing you what passes for colorful commentary around here as Landon Donovan and "his other FC Hollywood" try to raid the Stadium of Light, NSC will be tracking the other three Champions League contests (Chelsea v Juventus, Real v Liverpool & Villarreal v Panathinaikos) and the FA Cup replay visit of Jonathan Spector and West Ham to Middlesbrough.

If I had to guess, the latter starts and the Landy does not. I could very well be wrong on both counts, so don't place any wagers.

I will be back at around 2:00 pm ET with the Bayern/Sporting line-up cards, as well as Spector's kickoff assignment...

UPDATE: Ummm... funny thing... Donovan is not dressed tonight.

Urgh.

I will make it up to you tomorrow night with a Standard v Braga LIVE.

God DAMMIT. Damn, damn, dammit.

Good lord. Donovan doesn't dress and Bayern wins 5-0 in a Champions League matchup. This day could only be worse for him if he injures his hand while punching the lockerrom door in frustration!

On second though, I guess this means he'll likely get a sympathy start in the next leg?

The second leg falls one day after he is to return to the Galaxy.

Disastrous. The fates are cruel...
