Re: Today's Match

A few concepts if u're new to the football world

# A continent's Champions League is a tournament in which national champion clubs of their nations compete against each other, the ultimate prize becoming The Champion Club of its continent and qualifiying for the ultimate Club World Cup which gathers each continent's champion in a final tournament to determine the Champion Club of the World.

note that: South America is the only continent calling its international club tournament Copa Libertadores instead of Champions league.

# Each continent has a football federation with abbreviation letters as shown below:
CAF -> Africa (Confederation Africaine du Football and so on...)
AFC -> Asia
UEFA -> Europe
CONMEBOL -> South America
CONCACAF -> North and Central America
OFC -> Oceanic continent (That's australia mate 0.0)


# A few last concepts used in the game
Quarter final (last 8 teams)
Semi final (last 4)
Final (...self-explanatory)
2 legged match (when 2 teams competing against each other play a match on each's stadium which makes the total of their matches... 2 ^.^)
Aggregate (The sum of the goals scored in a 2 legged match*)






UEFA Champions League:

Catch up:There are 7 teams qualified for the quarter final and the last team to join them will be determined by the following match

Internazionale Milan (Italy) vs. Liverpool (England) [Last 16 Knockout Stage] {Previous score: Liv 2-0 Inter}




CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores:

Catch up: there are 8 groups each of 4 teams, after playing against each other twice (once on each team's stadium) -a total of 6 games- the best 2 teams out of each group qualifies for the last 16 knockout round

Real Potosi (Bologna) vs. San Lorenzo (Argentina) [Group Stage] {Group positions 4th-3rd}
Cienciano (Peru) vs. Coronel Bolognesi (Peru) [Group Stage] {Group positions 4th-3rd}
Guadalajara (Mexico) vs. Cucuta Deportivo (Colombia) [Group Stage] {Group positions 2nd-3rd}




CONCACAF Champions League:

Catch up: there are only 8 teams left to compete, we r in the quarter final and each 2 teams are paired and will play 2 matches (again; one on each's stadium)

Motagua (Honduras) vs. Pachuca (Mexico) [Quarter Final] (first leg)





MORE TO COME SOON, i hope you become intrested as I'll tend to improve this page ^.^

til tomorrow!
