The group stage draw took place earlier this afternoon. Some pretty intriguing matchups...

Of the three European teams I cheer for (Arsenal, Juventus, and Bayern), Bayern definitely got the toughest draw.

Looks like the EPL teams got the harder brackets, except for Chelsea. Only wish Fox did not have the rights as their coverage is pretty bad, that and most the games will be on fox2 or behind their pay wall.

Yeah, the Fox coverage leaves a lot to be desired. And I really dislike Gus Johnson. Luckily I have DirecTV, so I get to watch all the matches broadcast with their original feed. Highly recommended.

Nice, I had no idea Direct TV get's the original audio. And poor Gus, he seems to be like a rallying point against their poor soccer coverage.

The idea of my team playing two different schedules makes my head hurt.

Yea, it get's busy between the regular season schedule and UEFA Champions league, then there is the FA cup to add if you follow an EPL team.

So Gus Johnson won't be Fox Sports soccer lead play by play guy. It's a good move for everyone.

That's the best news I've heard in a LONG time.

Some really good matches yesterday. Solid away wins for Bayern and Chelsea. Biggest surprise was PSG (sans Zlatan Ibrahimovic) beating Barcelona. Looking forward to the Aresenal and Juventus matches today. Go Gunners! Forza Juve!

Real Madrid looked scary good today, especially considering it was an away game against a quality team like Liverpool.
