Total			32	8 + 8 + 16

Three countries still have a possiblity to win all three cups:
	Belgium, Italy, Holland. 
England lost all of its contenders, we are far away from the dominating
British teams of before the Heysel tragedy. (Sorry Denise, Liverpool were 
crushed !!!!). Germany also no longer dominates the pitches of Europe. 2 teams
left in C3.

Italy passed 4 teams out 6, not too bad although Torino should have passed.
Moscow as a city is doing quite well 3 out 4 passed after what should have been 
something more difficult. Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Torino 
were on the paths of the Moscovite teams. Only Real Madrid was able to pass.
Belgium had 4 teams in this round and passed all 4. Same thing with Holland.
France lost Monaco C2 finalist last year against underdogs of Pireus. They
hit the post twice in the last 10 minutes of the second-leg.

4 big names in the lucrative C1 cup. AC Milan, Marseilles (although they seem 
to be out of steam), FC Porto, PSV Eindhoven. Glasgow Rangers and CSKA Moscow 
are good outsiders. Gotheburg and Club Brugge are the "smaller" ones but 
shouldn't be dismissed easily. It is going to be hard on Swedens Gotheburg 
since the regular season is over in that country.

Turkey and Greece have put in a club, not very often we see them at this stage
of the competition.

In C2 Atletico Madrid seem to be the strongest. But football is not a "sure
science" so who knows.

Paris St Germain have yet to concede a goal in C3. 3 victories by a 2 - 0
margin and a draw.
Auxerre of France has scored 7 goals in both rounds.

See you on the net.
